ConsenSys said that the company is adding a staking function to MetaMask Portfolio, allowing users to stake ETH through Lido or Rocket Pool, two Ethereum community verification service platforms. MetaMask product manager Abad Mian said that by allowing ETH staking on the MetaMask Portfolio DApp, MetaMask users can get convenient services for interacting with staking providers, but there is a fee to exchange stETH through MetaMask and exchange rETH back to ETH.
On January 11, Ethereum developers released a new developer network, devnet 2, to help client teams prepare for the upcoming Shanghai upgrade. Developers are also preparing to launch a shadow fork of the Shanghai upgrade on the ethereum mainnet in the coming weeks. A shadow fork is a test of the actual mainnet version to see if the code works on the real blockchain.

The Ethereum official website ethereum.org launched by the Ethereum Foundation released the product roadmap for the first quarter. The key points in the roadmap include the launch of Launchpad to help users withdraw the pledged Ethereum, and the addition of relevant educational content to provide users with information about safe withdrawal from the deposit contract. guide.
In addition, the roadmap also includes exploring AI illustration and intelligent translation, and helping developers participate in Google Summer of Code activities.
(2) ETH Research Grant will use PLONK-based MACI system for the first time
Quadratic voting for the Ethereum Long-Term Research Grant (ETH Research Grant) will begin on January 15th at DoraHacks.io. This voting will be the first experiment to use DoraHacks MACI-PLONK (MACI zero-knowledge voting based on PLONK system), which is the first time to extend MACI to PLONK. Through DoraHacks MACI-PLONK, the circuit design of zero-knowledge governance will be more flexible, and only one zero-knowledge proof of trusted startup is required.
Previously, DoraHacks-MACI used the Groth 16 system for zero-knowledge proof of voting results. Since 2021, DoraHacks-MACI has been used in multiple community governances, including Dora Grant DAO, ETHDenver, OpenSea Hackathon, etc. DoraHacks MACK-PLONK will gradually replace DoraHacks MACI and become the infrastructure for future zero-knowledge governance.
(3) Polygon is performing performance tests on zk rollups technology
Polygon is performing performance tests on zero-knowledge rollups (zk rollups) technology. The development of the technology, called Polygon zkEVM, has been underway by the Polygon Hermez team for over three years. By generating over 12,000 zk proofs in a major release of the zkEVM testnet, the team has confirmed that zero-knowledge proofs are feasible on Ethereum. (Cointelegraph)
(4) The ConsenSys zkEVM testnet has opened a private test version to 100 selected users
According to the official Twitter, Ethereum infrastructure development company ConsenSys officially announced that the zkEVM testnet has opened a private test version to selected users. According to crypto KOL olimpio, ConsenSys sent an email to a total of 100 whitelisted users via hello@infura.io, which contained instructions on how to start and bridge Goerli ETH.
As previously reported, on December 13, the Ethereum infrastructure development company ConsenSys officially released the private test version of the zkEVM testnet. The testnet has been provided to selected applicants on Infura, allowing developers to deploy and test smart contracts. Existing network migration DApp, and bridging Token.
(5) Mantle, a modular Ethereum L2 solution supported by BitDAO, is launched on the testnet
Ethereum L2 solution Mantle announced the launch of the test network. Mantle is using data availability solutions such as EigenLayer to further optimize network performance, and MPC to minimize trust risk of L2 execution results. It is understood that Mantle is developed with the support of BitDAO. As the core of BitDAO's various plans and ecology, BIT will be used as the native Gas token.
According to the official Twitter, the multi-chain pledge infrastructure Stader Labs has launched ETHx litepaper, and will soon launch the Ethereum liquid pledge token ETHx. Users need to provide at least 4 ETH to participate in the pledge. Stader will distribute the funds deposited by the user to the license Staking pools, permissionless staking pools, and staking pools with Distributed Validator Technology (DVT). Stader will take a 10% commission, which will be split equally between the node operator and Stader. In addition, Stader also stated that more than 40 DeFi protocols including Aave, Balancer, and QuickSwap will support ETHx.
The DeFi directional liquidity protocol Poolshark Protocol has released a white paper, and plans to launch the Arbitrum network in early March, and will launch it on the Fuel testnet, the modular execution layer of Ethereum, in early April. Poolshark adopts a targeted AMM mechanism, in which LPs can adopt a buy-and-hold strategy to improve LP's earnings.
