Hi kontolterbang.eth,
XION Launches OAuth2 Integration for Cryptographic User Verification
XION has launched a new OAuth2 integration that puts users in control of their data sharing through cryptographic verification rather than trust-based systems.
Key Features:
The system allows developers to build applications using OAuth2 protocols they already know, while maintaining the security benefits of cryptographic verification. A developer tutorial is available that covers the complete implementation process, from Treasury contract setup through transaction submission.
Developers can start building on this foundation immediately. Full documentation and tutorials are available at docs.burnt.com.
BNB Chain Osaka/Mendel Hard Fork Goes Live April 28
BNB Chain's Osaka/Mendel hard fork launches April 28 at 02:30 UTC, bringing infrastructure improvements focused on real-world performance.
Key improvements:
The upgrade builds on a year of performance enhancements and aims to strengthen the network's handling of actual usage patterns rather than theoretical benchmarks.
Aerodrome Rolls Out Three Major Upgrades Ahead of Aero Launch
Aerodrome is introducing three features before its July 2026 Aero launch to address challenges from recent Ethereum infrastructure improvements:
Key Upgrades:
Dynamic Fees Module: Pools now have distinct initial fee levels at block start, creating demand for first sub-blocks and reducing MEV exploitation while driving additional volume
Upgraded Gauges: New contracts introduce minimum staking times (typically 10 seconds) with reward forfeiture for early withdrawals, protecting long-term liquidity providers
Metaswaps Beta: Cross-chain swaps built on Hyperlane infrastructure, starting with cbAssets on Base and connecting 12 chains total
Migration Process:
High-volume pools (WETH/USDC, cbBTC/USDC, WETH/cbBTC) will undergo progressive migration. Lower-volume pools face accelerated migration, with some gauges retiring after the 4/15 epoch flip.
The upgrades address unintended consequences from Flashblocks technology, which enabled MEV activity through sub-second preconfirmations. Aerodrome's modular architecture allows seamless implementation without service interruption.
