, Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder stated that 10% of the fees generated by Robinhood Chain and other Arbitrum L2 networks will flow to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% entering a treasury controlled by token holders and 2% allocated for development funding.According to the introduction, Robinhood Chain is now live on the Robinhood wallet and supports connections to Solana, Ethereum, and Arbitrum networks. Previously, Arbitrum One contributed 100% of its fee revenue to the treasury.This mechanism means the ARB token holder treasury will gain a continuous source of revenue, which could be used in the future for ecosystem grants, buybacks, or staking rewards, among other uses. If transaction volume on Robinhood Chain continues to grow, the market believes it could further enhance the revenue-generating capacity of the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder stated that as enterprise adoption trends gain momentum, Arbitrum is well-positioned for revenue capture. According to him, 10% of the fees collected by Robinhood Chain and other Arbitrum-based Layer 2 networks will be allocated to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going into the treasury controlled by token holders and 2% used to support development. Additionally, 100% of the fees collected by Arbitrum One go into the Arbitrum treasury.

According to The Block, BNB Chain is building a new Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for agent trading, targeting transaction pre-confirmation in under 50 milliseconds, and suppressing MEV behaviors such as sandwich attacks by eliminating the public mempool (adopting the TxStream mechanism). The new chain will also reserve block space for oracles, liquidations, and cross-chain bridges via PriorityLane, with a designed throughput target exceeding 100,000 TPS, and supporting sub-second block finality. This chain will become the fourth chain in the BNB Chain ecosystem, connected to BNB Smart Chain via a native bridge, with BSC serving as the settlement hub. The testnet is planned to launch at the end of 2026, and the mainnet is expected to deploy in early 2027.
BNB Chain has released its technology roadmap for the second half of 2026, announcing continued optimization around speed, throughput, and protocol stability. The network plans to double the throughput of the BSC mainnet again, while developing a next-generation Layer 1 architecture designed for the next decade.BNB Chain stated that in the first half of 2026, BSC completed several performance upgrades, including reducing the block interval from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds, decreasing Memory Finality time from 1125 milliseconds to 650 milliseconds, and increasing baseline throughput from approximately 2800 TPS to around 5200 TPS. At the middleware level, BNB Chain has also advanced AI agent and payment infrastructure development, including the launch of BNB Agent Studio and BNB Agent SDK to support autonomous on-chain AI agent deployment. It has also continued to refine the Middleware Payment Protocol (MPP) SDK and is exploring institutional-grade privacy frameworks.For the second half of 2026, BNB Chain has outlined three core objectives:Double throughput: Through BEP-675, BAL integration, and EVM execution optimizations, drive further performance improvements on the BSC mainnet, with a long-term goal of achieving a 10x overall performance increase for the BNB Chain ecosystem;Mitigate network congestion impact: Enhance stability during peak periods through resource isolation, dedicated transaction channels, and a transaction inclusion mechanism based on the FOCIL concept;Lower barriers to entry: Optimize gas fee structures for different industries to reduce costs for enterprises entering Web2 and Web3 application scenarios.
BNB Chain is developing a new Layer 1 blockchain designed for Agentic Trading, releasing the first detailed architectural information after months of research and development. According to BNB Chain's disclosed technical roadmap for the second half of 2026, the new chain will run in parallel with the existing BNB Chain ecosystem, targeting transaction preconfirmation times of less than 50 milliseconds. The goal is to deliver an execution experience close to that of centralized exchanges (CEX) while retaining the advantages of on-chain self-custody and transparency.In terms of technical architecture, the new chain will remove the traditional public mempool and introduce a transaction transmission mechanism called "TxStream," which directly sends transactions to block producers to reduce latency and minimize MEV extraction behaviors such as sandwich attacks.

According to official sources, BNB Agent Studio now supports AI Agents in accessing CoinMarketCap (CMC) market data with a single click via the B402 merchant pool of Binance Pay, with the Agent's own wallet automatically handling the data call payment.According to reports, building AI Agents that rely on real-time market data previously required configuring API keys, subscription plans, and independent payment processes. Through this integration, developers no longer need to create a CMC account, manage API Keys, or write additional payment code. The Agent can complete the entire process of "requesting data - automatic payment - processing output." Currently, the first batch of 4 types of CMC data interfaces are available, including:DEX Search: Query tokens and trading pairs on decentralized exchanges;Quotes Latest: Obtain real-time prices and market data for specified tokens;Listings Latest: Obtain market-wide token ranking data;DEX Pairs Quotes: Obtain real-time quotes for specified DEX trading pairs.BNB Chain stated that all data requests are paid through B402 based on the x402 protocol and are settled instantly on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). This feature will help developers quickly build AI Agents with market awareness, such as daily market analysis Agents, token ranking change reminder Agents, investment watchlist Agents, and narrative analysis Agents that combine large language models for market interpretation.

The DeFi Report's Ethereum Q2 2026 update shows that Ethereum's network revenue for the quarter rebounded slightly quarter-over-quarter, but still declined significantly year-over-year, while on-chain real yield, L1 economic activity, DeFi activity, and Layer 2 participation overall continued to weaken. The report noted that as user activity continues to migrate to Layer 2, competition for Ethereum mainnet block space decreased, leading to weakened priority fees and MEV capture capabilities.
Decentralized privacy protocol Hinkal Protocol announced that it has detected abnormal activity involving USDC on the Ethereum network within its system. Currently, only the Ethereum blockchain is affected, while other chains remain unaffected. As a precautionary measure, the affected smart contracts have been paused, and a comprehensive investigation and analysis of relevant on-chain transactions and activities is currently underway. The investigation is still ongoing, and updates will be released once information is confirmed.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Galaxy stated on X platform that many Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) face difficulties in responding to client demands for allocating funds to DeFi while meeting compliance requirements under the U.S. SEC's Custody Rule. The current rule requires client assets to be held with a Qualified Custodian (QC), effectively excluding the self-custody path and making it difficult for traditional financial accounts to directly participate in DeFi strategies.In practice, however, the technical compatibility and compliance integration costs between custodians and new public chains, tokens, and DeFi protocols are high. Most custodians also lack the capability to support DeFi interactions, resulting in a persistent "compliance infrastructure gap." Meanwhile, fiduciary duties require RIAs to not simply exclude client demand for DeFi exposure, placing institutions in a structural conflict between compliance and investment intent.Galaxy believes that a potential future solution lies in establishing a principles-based regulatory framework, including MPC key management, governance controls, third-party audits, on-chain transparency, and rigorous protocol due diligence mechanisms. This approach would aim to unlock on-chain asset allocation capabilities without weakening regulatory objectives.
