Stan Kladko, co-founder of SKALE Labs, announced on X to the SKALE community that he has stepped down from his position as Chief Technology Officer and board member of SKALE Labs, which he co-founded in 2017, but he will continue to serve as a member of the SKALE Foundation board. He expressed the desire to clarify the actions he is requesting from the foundation and believes the community should be involved in the discussion.Stan Kladko stated: SKALE is a protocol that relies on a small team of engineers who are responsible for developing, debugging, and maintaining the network online over the long term. These individuals have the best understanding of the boundaries of what is technically feasible and infeasible, but currently, there are no builders on the foundation's board. He believes that a protocol foundation without builders involved will make decisions on matters such as the roadmap, funding, and network economics, but will lack the necessary people to implement those decisions. He mentioned that successful protocols, from Ethereum to Cosmos, always involve engineers in discussions about long-term direction.The proposal put forward by Stan Kladko is to expand the foundation's board by three seats, to be filled by individuals with a strong background in software and protocol engineering. He stated that this proposal has been formally submitted to the foundation, and updates will be shared as they can be disclosed. He called for those who agree that building SKALE should participate in governance, and validators, delegators, application teams, and token holders can publicly express their stance, stating that he will continue to build SKALE.

According to Bits media, the government of Kyrgyzstan has decided to terminate the operation of the national stablecoin Gold Dollar (USDKG) and has requested the Ministry of Finance to liquidate its issuer EVA and the country's first state-owned cryptocurrency exchange Coin Nomad Exchange.This stablecoin was launched by the authorities in November 2025, initially positioned as the world's first state-issued stablecoin backed by physical gold and pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. The issuer was the state-owned company "Virtual Asset Issuer," fully owned by the Ministry of Finance of Kyrgyzstan (later renamed "EVA"), with a registered issuance volume slightly exceeding 50 million tokens. The token operates on the Tron blockchain. The authorities had positioned it as a cross-border settlement tool and planned to operate it at least until 2034.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin software provider Breez announced that applications built on its Breez SDK now support users receiving stablecoin payments from over 30 networks using their Bitcoin balance.Breez stated that after the recipient selects the network and amount of the payer, the SDK generates a deposit address and displays the amount received, while the payer pays from their wallet as usual; Flashnet completes the exchange in the background, and the funds ultimately enter the recipient's non-custodial wallet in the form of Bitcoin, or in the form of USD if the stable balance feature is used.In June of this year, Breez launched the ability to send USDT/USDC, allowing a single Breez-powered balance to transfer stablecoins bi-directionally across almost all networks. This update is the latest in a series of usability upgrades, following the rollout of features such as Passkey login, Cash App instant account opening, and stable balance. Breez also launched a reference application called Glow in August to showcase the capabilities of the SDK.The Breez SDK is a developer toolkit that allows applications to add Bitcoin payments without having to build their own payment infrastructure, covering wallet creation, sending and receiving, and Lightning Network payments. Developers can provide Bitcoin functionality with minimal code, without needing to run nodes or manage liquidity.In July of this year, Breez announced a partnership with Turnkey, allowing developers to add non-custodial Bitcoin support to wallet applications running on their own servers.
