Project Overview
Lighthouse is the navigational engine of the metaverse, enabling users to search through a database of all the active events occurring in metaverse games such as Decentraland and The Sandbox. It also allows users to search for their own location in these virtual worlds.
Coinbase Stakes 4.5 Million ETH in Q1, Accounting for 12.17% of Ethereum Network
Coinbase has released its Ethereum validator performance report for the first quarter of 2026. Data shows that its validators have staked a total of 4.5 million ETH, accounting for 12.17% of the total ETH staked across the Ethereum network. Coinbase stated it is committed to not exceeding a 30% validator penetration rate on the Ethereum network.The report indicates that Coinbase validators are deployed across five regions: Germany, Hong Kong (China), Ireland, Japan, and Singapore. In Q1 2026, the average online rate reached 99.98%, higher than the network-wide average of 99.77%.Additionally, Coinbase stated that its validators have not experienced any slashing or double-signing events since launch. It currently utilizes two consensus layer clients, Lighthouse and Prysm, along with three execution layer clients: Geth, Nethermind, and Reth.
Ethereum Foundation Discloses Q1 2026 Ecosystem Grant List, Totaling Nearly $10 Million
According to the Ethereum Foundation’s official website, its Ecosystem Support Program (ESP) allocated a total of $9.856 million in Q1 2026, with funding concentrated on core infrastructure areas including cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, security audits, and protocol research. Key funded projects this quarter include: - In the ZK domain: formal verification of zkVMs, GPU-accelerated R1CS witness generation, and intermediate representation optimization for LLZK; - In security: cryptanalysis of Poseidon, cross-platform canonical signing libraries for ERC-7730, and specification-compliance testing for ePBS; - In node and client development: Erigon zkEVM extensions, Besu HSM compliance integration, and the multi-node validator Vero; - Additionally, privacy tools (Kohaku SDK, Tor bridge extensions), continued operations of the Layer 2 transparency platform L2BEAT, and R&D for the Lighthouse client’s transition to the Fusaka fork. On ecosystem development, ESP simultaneously supported Ethereum developer events in Seoul, Hong Kong, Vancouver, and Buenos Aires, advanced updates to the Ethereum climate impact assessment, and backed policy research initiatives by the European Decentralization Institute (EDI).
