ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement from the Ethereum Layer2 network Red­dio, the token economic model for RDO has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, which are allocated as follows:Community (8.00%): Aimed at accelerating user adoption and rewarding early supporters through marketing activities, airdrops, community incentives, and educational initiatives.Security and Network Incentives (25.00%): The largest portion allocated for mining rewards, which contribute computational resources to the proof-of-authority consensus layer. This allocation has a 10-year no-cliff period, enhancing long-term network security and validator loyalty.Ecosystem Growth (22.76%): Supports project development, grants, partnerships, and the launch of dApps. Nearly half (70.1%) of this funding will be unlocked at TGE, facilitating immediate growth activities, while the remainder will vest after 48 months.Treasury (6.96%): Held for operational flexibility, liquidity provisioning, and emergency actions under DAO governance. At TGE, 15% is liquid, with the remaining portion unlocking linearly over four years.Contributors (21.80%): Allocated to core team members and early builders. A 12-month cliff ensures commitment, followed by a 24-month linear vesting. This aligns with long-term incentives and ensures continuity of contributions.Strategic Investors (15.48%): Aimed at early supporters providing funding and market support. Tokens will undergo a 6-month cliff period, followed by an 18-month linear vesting period. This timeline promotes strategic alignment while preventing speculative pressure.

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin published a long article titled "A simple L2 security and finalization roadmap," which outlines three core directions for optimizing Ethereum L2 security and finality:Expand data capacity: Increase the Blob space to 6 through the Pectra upgrade, and expand it to 72 (or gradually increase to 12-24) in the upcoming Fusaka upgrade at the end of the year, to meet the L2 transaction throughput demands;Implement a hybrid proof system for rapid finality: Use a 2/3 multi-signature mechanism (optimistic proof + ZK proof + TEE trusted hardware proof). If ZK and TEE verify simultaneously, finality is immediate; if only one is verified, it requires a 7-day optimistic challenge period. The security committee can urgently upgrade the proof logic but is subject to a 30-day delay, balancing immediate finality with attack resistance;Build a unified ZK proof aggregation layer: Standardize the proof aggregation protocol across the ecosystem, allowing multiple applications to share the cost of a single proof (e.g., 500,000 Gas), significantly reducing ZK verification overhead and promoting the adoption of L2, privacy protocols, and other scenarios. The goal of this roadmap is to achieve L2 cross-chain bridging finality within 1 hour and reduce costs through short-term hybrid verification mechanisms, while gradually eliminating TEE reliance with a long-term goal of full ZK implementation, ultimately establishing an efficient, secure, and trustless L2 ecosystem.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the Ethereum Layer2 network Corn has raised $8.3 million in a round of community financing. This round of financing was raised through a compliant token sale platform called Legion, involving 675 investors and venture capital firms such as Polychain, Amber, GSR, Presto, and Laser Digital. Corn noted that the participation conditions for venture capital firms and community investors are the same.Although it is not yet fully operational, Corn aims to deepen the integration of Bitcoin with the DeFi ecosystem by using Bitcoin as a Gas token through a new hybrid tokenized version called BTCN. BTCN will be Corn's tokenized Bitcoin, backed 1:1 by native Bitcoin, and will not be limited by a single custodian or bridging solution. Corn will launch its own native token CORN to incentivize users and developers.

ChainCatcher news, the total number of transactions processed in the Ethereum L2 ecosystem on August 12 reached a historic high of 12.42 million.This growth is mainly attributed to the memecoin craze based on the Coinbase L2 blockchain, where the trading volume surged to a peak of over 4 million at the end of July.The number of stablecoins currently on L2 is greater than the combined total of Solana and BSC. The report indicates that the number of stablecoins on L2 is 150% more than that on Solana and 94% more than that on BSC. Meanwhile, according to Etherscan data, the daily transaction volume on the Ethereum mainnet has remained relatively stable, hovering around 1.1 million for most of this year.
