Crypto Infrastructure Sees Rapid Evolution Amid Security Concerns

LayersZero introduced ATLAS, an exchange infrastructure stack built on its Zero blockchain. The system provides trading, clearing, settlement, and risk-management functions for exchanges.

ATLAS separates the exchange interface from the underlying machinery, making it easier to launch new markets without building a full architecture internally.

The model tackles a practical problem: new venues often have distribution and user interfaces but struggle with building matching, settlement, and risk systems.

Solana approved faster reductions in new SOL issuance through its first network-wide governance vote. The economic effect is a tighter issuance path for holders and changes the economics of running infrastructure for validators.

Ripple published a four-stage plan to prepare XRP Ledger for future quantum-computing risks, including identifying vulnerable components, testing, parallel deployment, and an emergency route if quantum capabilities advance faster than expected.

Revolut began rolling out its first euro-backed stablecoin, EURR, in selected European markets. The token is issued through the Luxembourg entity of Bridge, a stablecoin infrastructure company owned by Stripe.

Ethena proposed directing 95% of net foundation revenue toward ENA buybacks under set conditions. This would tie ENA more directly to the economics of the ecosystem.

Cosmos Labs said attackers exploited a flaw in shared Cosmos software across six blockchains, with roughly $5.7 million in tokens ultimately sold. A researcher had already reported the vulnerability in April.
