Members of the management team of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and CSA Operator Aerugo published a systematic explanation of EF's mission. Aerugo stated that EF's core mission is to ensure that Ethereum becomes and continues to be a truly permissionless sovereign infrastructure: censorship-resistant, capture-resistant, open-source, private, and secure, capable of supporting large-scale trustless coordination.He emphasized that EF's focus is on eliminating extraction and capture risks that may arise at the protocol layer of Ethereum, particularly the two core challenges of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) issues and the lack of default privacy. Aerugo described MEV as "the main battleground of the next cypherpunk war," and pointed out that "a public ledger without serious default privacy is a monitoring infrastructure with settlement guarantees."In addition, EF will move some of its work out of the foundation through spin-offs in the future, but will maintain strict standards for external funding. The recent departure of some personnel is part of normal organizational adjustments, and EF will handle it in a dignified manner without making personnel issues public.

According to Crowdfund Insider, MetaMask has launched an address poisoning attack detection feature to identify scam addresses that are highly similar to addresses with which users have interacted in the past. Address poisoning attacks refer to when attackers send small amounts of tokens to a user's wallet, causing disguised addresses to appear in transaction records, leading users to mistakenly copy and transfer funds later. In recent years, address poisoning attacks have surged. According to security data from Blockaid, over 65.4 million such incidents occurred between January 2025 and February 2026.The new feature in MetaMask will automatically compare addresses pasted by users with historical interaction addresses. If it detects that the first and last characters are the same but the characters in between are different, it will display a blocking reminder during the transfer process. MetaMask has also improved the way addresses are displayed, showing more characters to reduce the possibility of confusion. This feature is now available on MetaMask Mobile and the browser extension.

ChainCatcher, regarding the incident of OKX employees leaving to join Binance, OKX founder Star tweeted that over the past few years, many excellent OKX colleagues have joined other companies in the industry, including Yuki. We are proud of them for gaining recognition and favor from competitors, and we sincerely wish them success in their future development.OKX has hundreds of former employees from BN, including regional CEOs, product leaders, technical leaders, and many outstanding business and functional colleagues. They have brought valuable experience, perspectives, and input to OKX and have made significant contributions to the company's development. More importantly, they have deeply integrated with the OKX team and become part of OKX's culture and success. We have never treated this matter as marketing material to hype up.Talent mobility within the industry is a normal phenomenon and a sign of industry maturity. What truly matters is not where people come from, but whether they can continuously create value. Of course, for the very few who violate laws, business integrity, and professional ethics, we will take resolute measures and legally protect the company's legitimate rights and interests."A company that constantly talks about its vision, where the founder even in writing a book does not forget to heavily belittle former employees including the former CFO and former Asia head, is often the one with the least vision," Star said.Previously, according to RootData, former VIP account manager of OKX Yuki left to join Binance as a key account manager, sparking discussions among many crypto KOLs such as KuaiDong.
