11. Kraken-incubated Ethereum L2 solution Ink collaborates with Optimism to introduce permissionless fraud proofs.

The Kraken-incubated Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution Ink will enable permissionless fraud proof mechanisms this Thursday, marking an important technological advancement in its rapid development. Ink becomes the first superchain network to launch multiple "challenger" mechanisms after testing on the Optimism mainnet, initially operated by the automated protocol Gelato and Kraken. Fraud proofs are a key feature of Optimistic Rollups, allowing users to challenge the validity of transactions and correct erroneous states. The initial challenger fund for Ink was provided by Kraken with 49 ETH (approximately $156,000), and users can also participate in challenges by staking ETH, thereby promoting on-chain decentralization. Since its early launch in December 2024, Ink has become a testing platform for Tether's new multi-chain dollar token USDT0 and plans to further decentralize in the future. Koller emphasized that although Ink has been criticized as a "corporate chain," its goal is to practice the concept of decentralization through concrete actions, empowering technology users and enhancing the network's credible neutrality. -Original

13. Anvil launches a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol aimed at providing sustainable liquidity and credit.

Payment remains a significant use case that the internet has yet to solve. When we shop online, we typically use traditional payment methods like credit cards, which is not a "native" experience. The ability to transact with merchants requires verification from third parties (like banks), which adds costs and creates many inconveniences for both buyers and sellers. Despite the rapid development of online commerce over the past thirty years, most transactions occur outside of the browser. Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape, referred to this as the "original sin" of the internet. He stated in 2019, "People would think that building a way to spend money in the browser is the most obvious thing to do, but you may have noticed that this hasn't happened." "I think the original sin is that we haven't been able to really build economics, which is money, at the core of the internet." This is important because the costs are enormous and borne by all of us. Economists have calculated that the total cost of retail payments in the U.S. is as high as 2% of GDP, nearly equivalent to the U.S. defense budget. Merchants often list the costs of processing credit cards as one of their highest operating expenses, which is why many merchants will ask you to pay an extra fee when using a credit card in-store or set a minimum amount for purchases. Many studies have shown that despite being very smart, the U.S. has the highest social costs of payment among developed countries. We often forget that Bitcoin was originally proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto as a "peer-to-peer electronic cash system," as many cryptocurrencies today do not focus on this use case. But perhaps the next iteration of cryptocurrency development will help address this issue. This is certainly the hope of Anvil founder Tyler Spalding, as Anvil is a new decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that re-conceptualizes credit, which is the foundation of all monetary systems. Anvil is an Ethereum smart contract system for managing collateral and ensuring credit. It allows individuals and companies to create letters of credit (LOC) as a substitute for traditional forms of currency. You can use it by locking Ether or USDC in the Anvil vault and receiving a specified amount of LOC. In practice, the system is very similar to a bank check that you cash from your account, just without the paper, delays, or worries about whether the money will clear. Spalding views Anvil as a new form of currency backed by cryptocurrency collateral. "By issuing transparent and scalable credit, Anvil provides sustainable liquidity—essentially creating trustworthy money for the global economic system," he said. "Permissionless decentralized technology can change the way collateral is managed by making the process safer and more transparent." Spalding stated that at the protocol level, transactions using Anvil incur no fees, and the technology is open-source. It is community-owned, with 60% of governance tokens allocated to partners and users who can vote on operational matters. Spalding co-founded the blockchain-based payment network Flexa with others, and he believes Anvil can be used for traditional loans, DeFi counterparty credit (for exchanges or liquidity providers), asset bridging, and payments. Three partners have expressed their desire to build services using the protocol: digital asset trading and custody provider Amdax; retail cash loan provider Empowermint; and Flexa, which will use the protocol to provide asset collateral for payments on its network. Because Anvil is open-source, these partners can freely use the protocol to build their own services. Anvil has no investors. The protocol was launched by Spalding and his collaborators after two years of development. Its system has been audited by Open Zeppelin and Trail of Bits, and Immunefi organized two bug bounty programs to find defects that need fixing. Spalding believes the system is secure because its ambitious goal is to separate banks from payment and traditional credit issuance processes. "We've been doing this for a long time. We love this thing," Spalding said when discussing his goal of bringing native payments to the internet and addressing Andreessen's original sin. "We want to let others use it too. This is a real-world use case. That's the only thing I care about." -Original
