Perspective: 'Junk L2s' Are Being Phased Out, Ethereum’s Value Capture Logic Poised to Return

2026.10.07 18:33:48

Crypto analyst Ted posted that as a large number of "junk L2s" gradually exit the market, and projects like Abstract and Blast announce shutdowns, his outlook on Ethereum has grown more optimistic. Ted notes the trend’s lesson is straightforward: projects should build directly on the Ethereum mainnet, rather than constantly creating redundant chains designed to extract value from their own communities. He stated: "Stop creating unnecessary chains."

ByteDance’s TRAE has launched a developer personal assistant that can retain historical decisions across projects and schedule multiple tasks simultaneously.

Beating AI Flash News: ByteDance’s TRAE today launched its developer personal assistant "TRAE Bao", which focuses on cross-project long-term memory and multi-task scheduling. Developers no longer need to repeatedly provide context or switch between multiple AI sessions to coordinate different tasks. TRAE Bao is split into two modules: "Global Assistant" and "Project Assistant". The Global Assistant handles cross-project searches of historical conversations, tasks, and deliverables, extracting past technical solutions, constraints, and decisions. For instance, when adding permission management to a new product, it can first locate previously implemented solutions to identify reusable ones, then hand over the work to the Project Assistant for further development. The Project Assistant is responsible for specific execution. When a requirement involves front-end, back-end, testing, and documentation, it can break down tasks, arrange parallel development, and organize joint debugging and verification based on dependencies. Developers can assign other tasks as needed, and the assistant will uniformly report progress, issues, and results. Currently, TRAE Bao mainly runs local tasks on desktop, supporting remote command input via WeChat and Feishu. Cloud tasks and standalone mobile capabilities are still pending future launch.

Ethereum clients release a security update to fix an eMudhra certificate vulnerability; default mainnet nodes are unaffected.

Indian certificate authority eMudhra’s cryptographic security vulnerability has impacted Ethereum clients Teku and Besu. Researchers discovered that the private keys of 8 intermediate certificate authorities under eMudhra may be derivable due to insufficient randomness, enabling attackers to forge certificates and trick unpatched software into trusting malicious services. Teku has released version 26.10.3, and Besu has released version 26.10.2, both removing trust in the relevant certificates from their Docker images. Attackers could carry out man-in-the-middle attacks to deceive some validators into sending block fee rewards to attacker addresses; the risk is higher in specific configurations using external signers. The Teku team noted that Teku nodes on Ethereum mainnet with default configurations are not affected, requiring no action, and there have been no reports of the vulnerability being exploited. For operators running Teku or Besu directly on hosts without Docker, updating the client alone is insufficient—they must also manually update Java and its trusted certificate list. Operators still using end-of-life Java 26 need to migrate to Java 25.
