Ethereum’s Layer 2 Vision

February 3,  2026

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin contends that the original vision for Layer 2 networks no longer holds, pointing to Ethereum mainnet’s own scaling progress as grounds for redefining the ecosystem’s approach to scalability

August 7, 2024 While Ethereum is well on its way to the “Pectra” upgrade, it just had a major upgrade this past March. Called “Dencun,” this successful upgrade included EIP-4844 and other Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Dencun introduced blobs — a temporary data store on consensus that made it much cheaper for second layers (L2s) to secure their ledger alongside the Ethereum main chain (L1). This lowered fees for everyone.

NSA Zero Trust Implementation Guidelines Phase 2

January 2026

Developed by the National Security Agency (NSA), the Zero Trust Implementation Guidelines (ZIGs) offer structured guidance for implementing Zero Trust (ZT) architecture across US defence, national security, and affiliated organisations. Building on NIST and Department of Defence published frameworks, the ZIGs support organisations in moving away from perimeter-based defences toward continuous verification of every user, device, and application

Implementing a Zero Trust Architecture SP 1800-35

June 2025

Published by NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), this practice guide helps organisations implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) consistent with NIST SP 800-207, covering secure access across on-premises and multi-cloud environments for hybrid workforces. It documents 19 example implementations built with commercially available technologies, along with best practices, lessons learned, and mappings to widely used security standards.

July 24 , 2024

This joint report by EU Member States, the European Commission, and ENISA evaluates cybersecurity risks facing Europe’s telecommunications and electricity sectors, with supply chain security, ransomware, and zero-day vulnerabilities identified as pressing concerns in both industries. It also highlights sector-specific threats such as malicious insiders in the electricity sector and roaming infrastructure attacks in telecommunications, and puts forward recommendations across four areas for improvement.
