first_img Synthetix releases the 2026 roadmap, focusing on six major directions including stock buybacks and multi-collateral trading

Synthetix releases the 2026 roadmap, covering six major directions:Stock Buybacks and Restoration of USD Pegged Exchange Rate: All trading revenues will be used for SNX stock buybacks and USD buybacks. The goal is to achieve a stable USD pegged exchange rate by the end of the second quarter.Multi-Collateral Trading (April): Native deposits of ETH, cbBTC, and other assets as collateral on Synthetix Perps - releasing billions of dollars of idle Ethereum mainnet funds.Basis Trading Vault (Second Quarter): Popularizing access to delta-neutral basis trading strategies, with stablecoin assets represented as supported by basis trading.Synthetix Liquidity Pool (SLP) Public Release (Second Quarter): A community-owned market-making vault - no management fees, no performance fees, currently in private beta testing with an annualized yield of about 45%.Market Expansion: The cryptocurrency market expands in the first quarter, the commodities market begins to expand in April, the foreign exchange market starts expanding in June, and pre-release perpetual contracts for highly anticipated tokens.Digital Dollar Vision: Transitioning sUSD to a fully decentralized, basis trading-collateralized stablecoin—supported by a Perp DEX that uniquely owns the native stablecoin.Synthetix states that 2026 is the year of Synthetix's return, with a clear goal: to provide the best perpetual trading experience in the DeFi space, relying on the security, composability, and neutrality of the Ethereum mainnet.

The European Central Bank releases the Appia roadmap to promote a central bank currency-based tokenized financial market

According to Cointelegraph, the European Central Bank released the Appia roadmap on Wednesday, outlining a long-term development plan for a tokenized wholesale financial market based on central bank money. The roadmap revolves around two related initiatives: Pontes, a distributed ledger technology settlement solution for the euro system, and Appia, which serves as the overall strategic framework for building the future tokenized financial ecosystem. The Pontes initiative is set to launch in the third quarter of 2026.Piero Cipollone, a member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board, stated that Appia aims to build a bridge from the current financial system to the future tokenized market, grounded in central bank money. The Pontes initiative aims to achieve the integration of market distributed ledger infrastructure with the TARGET services of the euro system by the end of the third quarter of 2026.TARGET services are the payment and settlement systems operating in the euro system, covering the large-value payment system TARGET2, the securities settlement system T2S, and the instant payment system TIPS. The European Central Bank is simultaneously opening a public consultation, inviting feedback from public and private sector participants on the roadmap or proposals for participation in its implementation, with the feedback deadline set for April 22.

Vitalik elaborated on the Ethereum execution layer roadmap, focusing on two major changes: the state tree and the virtual machine

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post on social media outlining the Ethereum execution layer roadmap, focusing on two major changes: the state tree and the virtual machine.Regarding the state tree, Vitalik supports upgrading the current hexadecimal Merkle Patricia tree to a binary tree based on a more efficient hash function through EIP-7864. This change can shorten the Merkle branch by four times, reducing the bandwidth cost for client data verification; at the same time, the hash function can be replaced with the Blake3 or Poseidon series, significantly improving proof efficiency.The binary tree design will also group storage slots into "pages," lowering the access cost for adjacent storage, allowing many DeFi applications to save over 10,000 Gas per transaction. Additionally, the binary tree structure is simpler and can reserve metadata bits for future state expiration features.On the virtual machine front, Vitalik proposed that the long-term direction is to replace the EVM, potentially adopting the RISC-V architecture. The new VM needs to meet four goals: higher raw execution efficiency, making most precompiles unnecessary; proof efficiency superior to the EVM; support for client-side generation of ZK proofs; and maximum simplification of code implementation.He pointed out that if Ethereum only stays at the "EVM + GPU" level, it may be "sufficient," but a better VM can make the protocol stronger. The deployment roadmap is divided into three steps: the new VM will first be used to replace precompiles; then users will be allowed to deploy contracts based on the new VM; finally, the EVM will be retired, transitioning to smart contracts written with the new VM, achieving full backward compatibility.
