Odaily Planet Daily reports that Lightning Labs announced the launch of Wavelength, a self-hosted Bitcoin payment toolkit, on its X platform. This toolkit aims to make integrating Bitcoin into applications as simple as calling an API. Built on an Ark-like settlement layer, the platform allows developers, AI agents, and vibe coders to integrate Lightning Payments into any application without running nodes, managing channels, or acquiring liquidity. It also supports AI agents using Bitcoin payment APIs, data sources, and other services through MCP tool calls. Wavelength is currently available in alpha on signet and testnet; access to the mainnet requires an invitation.

Movement Labs has recently shifted its focus to cross-border payments and stablecoin settlements. During the Chapter 11 proceedings, the future arrangements for its blockchain network, partnerships, and payment expansion plans remain unclear, but operations may continue during the restructuring period.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8222 plans to separate staking deposits from withdrawals using a STARK-based cryptographic mechanism and re-anonymize validators to reduce the traceability of validator activities. Currently, about one-third of ETH is staked. Thibault Dubuis, Head of Staking and Decentralized Finance Products at Sygnum Bank, stated that the current deposit addresses, validators, and withdrawal credentials will form a visible chain, making institutional holdings, entry times, and staking strategies nearly public. The proposal is still under discussion, and no deployment timeline has been set. Its design may involve fixed deposit amounts, asset withdrawal waiting periods, etc., and institutional users may have to bear higher implementation costs, process delays, and compliance work.
