On May 8, Ramon, head of product delivery at Matter Labs, said that the next upgrade of zkSync will be launched on May 13, and the new upgrade content and features include: P256Verify (this precompilation allows signature verification of secp256r1 elliptic curves, and also adds ecAdd, ecMul and ecPairing precompilation); Bridgehub (the foundational component that unlocks the interoperability of all ZK Stack chains); On the ZK Stack side, protocol work to support validiums, custom DA layers, and custom underlying tokens has also been completed, which will be available for the ZK Stack chain with some upcoming server changes; Support for .transfer/.send calls without providing gas (this unlocks ETH in some contracts that are deployed without following best code practices).

coin Ramon Recuero, co-founder and CEO of Kinto, recently shared investment insights on real world assets (RWAs), with a particular focus on the impact of Bitcoin Halving on RWA investments. While the direct impact is limited, historical patterns suggest an indirect correlation. Recuero highlighted the longest nature of successful projects such as the Maker DAO and predicted that the short-term focus will drive ETFs. He expects that wider adoption may take longer to achieve mainstream adoption.
