Ethereum developer Tom Lehman published the draft proposal EIP-8182, aiming to natively support private transfers on Ethereum by introducing a shared privacy pool, a fixed-address system contract, and zero-knowledge proof verification precompiles at the Ethereum protocol layer. The proposal states that the solution will be deployed via a hard fork upgrade—without administrator keys, governance tokens, or on-chain upgrade mechanisms—intended to address fragmented anonymity sets and inconsistent trust models across privacy applications. As designed, users will be able to conduct private transfers from their existing wallets to any Ethereum address or ENS name, and support atomic workflows such as “de-anonymize → interact → re-anonymize.”
According to an official announcement, Coinbase has suspended trading of 25 perpetual contracts, as previously announced. All outstanding positions in these contracts have been automatically settled at the final settlement price. The affected contracts include TRB, RARE, NEIRO, A, ME, XTZ, KMNO, RAY, STX, ENS, GMT, SNX, 1000FLOKI, 0G, ORDI, NIL, BIO, UMA, BEAM, INIT, SOMI, EGLD, CLANKER, SOPH, and BIGTIME. The final settlement price was calculated as the average index price over the 60 minutes preceding the suspension. Coinbase stated that this action aims to focus on products that consistently meet liquidity and market quality standards, and that it will accelerate the launch of new perpetual contracts by optimizing internal processes.
The Ethereum-based social protocol EFP has been integrated into Etherscan. Users can view an account’s ENS domain name and avatar, as well as its on-chain EFP followers and following count, by clicking the “Cards” tab on each account’s page. This integration further enriches Etherscan’s social functionality and advances the visualization and application of on-chain social data.
