Crypto wallet Zerion is developing an Ethereum Layer 2 network called ZERO Network, which it plans to launch in late Q2 or early Q3 this year. Its unique selling point is that the network will be free to use, and the project hopes to improve user experience through cost subsidies. Zerion co-founder Evgeny Yurtaev said that for users, fees should not exist. Zerion plans to use tens of thousands of dollars to sponsor millions of transactions. After Dencun upgrades, this number is expected to be lower, and having its own network will increase Zerion's visibility and generate additional revenue. When asked what technology stack the Layer 2 network will be based on, Yurtaev said Zerion is working with unspecified partners and will launch it when ready, but discussions are still ongoing about which data availability layer it will use.

Analysoor posted on the X platform that it discovered a blocking vulnerability in Dune Analytics NFT data, which forced the team to postpone the release of its first external Mint project for the last time. Analysoor explained: “Our machine learning model used historical NFT holding period data and secondary market sales, but Dune Analytics incorrectly analyzed TensorSwap sales and attributed many sales to TensorSwap Escrow instead of actual buyers or seller. We tried multiple workarounds, but had to parse the raw Solana directive data from Dune Analytics and handle multiple exemptions and edge cases, which could take 1-2 days. Once fixed we will announce a mint date. The classification machine learning model script and the Solana on-chain smart contract are ready, we just need to fix the input data for Dune Analytics. Tomorrow we will send 10,000 USDC as a charitable donation and burn 21,000 ZERO. " Analysoor apologized, adding that "this was a serious error beyond our control."
