FastLane Labs has introduced a protocol upgrade to tackle the challenge of frontrunning in the MEV supply chain, where over 50% of bundled User Operations are affected on Polygon, making it difficult for bundlers to send operations directly to validators without the risk of bearing reverted transaction costs. This system allows more efficient use of blockspace and reduces costs.
Limitless platform on the Base blockchain has integrated with Etherspot to simplify Web3 onboarding through Account Abstraction.

A recent research article delves into the evolving role of cross-chain bridges as economic engines for the blockchain space, highlighting how these bridges are critical for facilitating capital flow across blockchain networks. Cross-chain bridges generate fees from locking/minting assets, relayer services, and liquidity provider incentives. They must continue to evolve to maintain their relevance as blockchain technology matures.
Uniswap Labs has officially launched Unichain, a fast, decentralized Layer 2 built to address key challenges in decentralized finance and to scale Ethereum’s roadmap. Unichain offers fast transactions with one-second block times and will soon introduce 250-millisecond “sub-blocks” for near-instant user experiences. Etherspot’s Skandha Bundler already supports Unichain, enhancing the onboarding of users and developers into this new L2 ecosystem.
