Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) company Zama CEO Rand Hindi stated on X on Monday that the company has achieved benchmark results of 1,000 confidential transactions per second on GPUs, an increase of about 5,000 times compared to the 0.2 transactions per second demonstrated at ETHcc in 2022. Hindi mentioned that the cost of running an FHE node is approximately $0.000004 per ERC7984 transaction, significantly lower than zero-knowledge proofs, but this comparison has not been independently verified. The benchmark has not yet been activated on any mainnet, is self-reported data from the company, and the testing methods have not been published, with plans to go live by the end of the year.Hindi also set long-term goals: 10,000 tps by 2028 and 100,000 tps by 2030. Zama has been active recently: on July 24, a confidential RFQ exchange product was launched, which within weeks shielded over $121 million USDT on Ethereum, collaborated with Elliptic to enhance compliance screening for confidential transactions, and co-founded the Confidential Token Association with OpenZeppelin and Inco to standardize encrypted ERC-20 tokens. Zama previously completed a $57 million Series B funding round.

Ten European financial institutions have jointly launched Regulated Layer One (RL1). This network has been established and is operational in Luxembourg as a European cooperative, targeting regulated financial markets and tokenized assets. The founding members of RL1 include ABN AMRO, Cecabank, Chartered Investment, Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale, DekaBank, DZ BANK, LBBW, Natixis CIB, SC Ventures, and Seturion. RL1 indicates that each member has equal decision-making power in network governance and development.This private permissioned network is based on the infrastructure developed by the German fintech company Secure Worldwide Interbank Asset Transfer (SWIAT), which has transferred ownership of the network to the cooperative. SWIAT states that the platform has processed over 50 transactions amounting to more than 700 million euros during its three years of production use. The intended uses of RL1 include digital currencies, tokenized bonds, collateral, and blockchain-based settlement. RL1 will be led by former SWIAT Managing Director Henning Vollbehr, and KfW and L-Bank will continue to support the initiative. RL1 is in discussions with more institutions, including NatWest, about joining the network.

Visa and the on-chain data analysis platform Artemis previously jointly released the report "Agentic Payments from the Ground Up," which quantifies the trends of AI agent payments based on real-time on-chain data. The report points out that intelligent commerce should be divided into macro transactions (AI agents completing bookings, subscriptions, etc., adapting to existing card systems) and micro payments (high-frequency small payments between machines, with individual transactions far below $1, which traditional payment structures struggle to support).The report focuses on two "machine-native payment" protocols: x402 (developed by Coinbase, Cloudflare, etc., launching in May 2025) with an adjusted transaction volume of approximately $15 million and 109.6 million transactions as of April 21, 2026, with 422,000 buyers and about 5,300 sellers, primarily concentrated on Base, Solana, and Polygon, settled in USDC; MPP (developed by Stripe and Tempo, with Visa's participation, launching in mid-March 2026) had a transaction volume of approximately $25,000 and 115,000 transactions within 33 days of launch, supporting both on-chain crypto payments and fiat settlements.The report believes that the leap in AI capabilities (with the release of Claude 4.5 and GPT Codex 5.2 in mid-2025) has created a demand for programmatic payments, combined with the decreasing costs of blockchain settlements, making micro payments in the range of 1 cent to 1 dollar economically viable for the first time. Currently, the boundaries between crypto-native protocols and card payment camps are gradually blurring, but agent payments still face trust challenges such as erroneous purchases, adversarial attacks, and liability attribution.

AI Agent Economic Settlement Agreement AEON announced AI payment data, with the user base exceeding 2.3 million, an average monthly transaction volume of over 30 million USD, and a cumulative processing amount reaching 475 million USD. As a settlement layer for the Agentic Economy, AEON is continuously expanding Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Agent-to-Merchant (A2M) scenarios, promoting payment and settlement connections between AI agents and the real commercial system.

According to Caixin, Zhao Yao, a special researcher at the Payment and Clearing Research Center of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that recent offshore digital asset platforms have launched on-chain trading products around Chinese technology companies such as Changxin Technology. This indicates that global digital financial platforms are creating trading exposure around high-quality Chinese technology assets, organizing price expectations, trading liquidity, and cross-border capital entry in advance. Although these products do not correspond to A-share equity, they are synthetic perpetual contracts or pre-market perpetual contracts settled in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. However, if offshore platforms take the lead in forming a continuous trading market for technology assets, it may weaken the pricing dominance of domestic capital markets over technology assets.Zhao Yao suggested accelerating the construction of digital financial infrastructure for the renminbi, promoting the coordinated development of tokenized deposits by commercial banks, wholesale CBDC, and tokenization of technology assets, and exploring pilot projects for technology asset tokenization in Hong Kong to enhance the capital organization capability and international pricing power of the renminbi in global technology financial competition.

Zilliqa stated that there is a serious random number generation vulnerability in the Zilliqa Ledger application, affecting the Schnorr signatures of native non-EVM Zilliqa transactions. Attackers can recover the signer's private key from the biased temporary random numbers using only publicly available on-chain data.Any account that has signed and broadcasted about 5 or more native transactions through the Zilliqa Ledger application should be considered compromised. Since the related signatures are permanently recorded on the chain, subsequent updates to the application cannot eliminate the risk, and the affected private keys must be deactivated. EVM transactions and development tools such as zilliqa-js, gozilliqa-sdk, and pyzil are not affected.The vulnerability arises from the application selecting the wrong 32 bytes when copying the random number, retaining 8 bytes of zero padding and losing 8 bytes of entropy, resulting in each random number having a maximum of 64 bits fixed to zero. Attackers can use 5 or more affected signatures to recover the private key within seconds using ordinary hardware. Zilliqa observed suspected active exploitation on July 19 and confirmed the root cause on July 21.Zilliqa has suspended native transactions to prevent further loss of funds and is preparing a revised application with Ledger. However, the revised version cannot protect the exposed keys, and affected users should not transfer assets on their own but wait for the official announcement of a coordinated disposal plan.

Zcash has launched a new full node, Zakura, maintained by a team independent of the Zcash Foundation. It is released as a trimmed version of Zebra for fast synchronization and is compatible with the old zcashd client. This client will reach the end of its lifecycle. Zakura is one of the components of Zcash's scalability efforts, working alongside Project Tachyon and private information retrieval research, aiming to increase network throughput to Visa and Mastercard levels by reducing verification data and eliminating wallet performance bottlenecks.Zakura also supports the Ironwood (NU6.3) upgrade, which will be activated on July 28. This upgrade introduces a turnstile mechanism to limit withdrawals from the Orchard shielded pool and control the potential generation of counterfeit ZEC due to long-term soundness bugs.
