According to the introduction, wearing these glasses allows users to view navigation information while walking, measure spaces without taking out a tape measure, or receive real-time AI assistance during project tasks. The product will be available later this year in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.

Base has launched an enterprise-grade privacy transaction infrastructure, Base Ledgers, enabling financial institutions to conduct transactions, payments, and settlements using cryptocurrency while ensuring confidentiality. Base's upcoming upgraded version, Beryl, will introduce new tokenization features, with the core being the native token standard B20. It aims to enhance user experience with a fast, low-cost, and standardized settlement mechanism, allowing global financial assets to exist in programmable capital form on the Base chain and benefit from on-chain composability.

According to ChainCatcher, citing CoinDesk, Ethereum developers have entered the final development stage of the Glamsterdam upgrade and are currently running developer networks (devnets) containing all the planned EIPs, before deploying to public testnets. Parithosh Jayanthi, a core developer at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that this is the final step before codebase hardening and testnet deployment. Although there is no fixed timeline, significant progress has been made. Glamsterdam is expected to go live on the mainnet in the second half of this year and is described as “the largest upgrade since the Merge”, set to change many of Ethereum’s existing assumptions and lay the groundwork for larger-scale scaling in the future. Main features include EIP-7732 (native proposer-builder separation), which introduces a separation mechanism for block building and proposing into the core protocol to reduce MEV manipulation opportunities; and EIP-7928 (block-level access list), which allows blocks to predeclare the account and contract data they will access, improving execution efficiency. Glamsterdam also includes a series of gas repricings that will significantly alter operating costs on Ethereum: operations with high computational demands will become cheaper, while state management costs will increase.
