Ethereum’s staking exit queue has fallen to zero, allowing near-immediate ETH withdrawals, while the network posted a record 2,885,524 daily transactions and kept average fees near recent lows.
SSV Network has launched its SSV Staking Testnet and an incentivized cSSV Alpha testers program, inviting Ethereum users to test the new staking architecture before mainnet release.
Tomasz Stanczak, founder of Nethermind and former co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, said he is shifting his focus from crypto to robotics, automation and the physical world after leaving the foundation. In an interview produced by PANews and Web3.com Ventures for The Round Trip xBuilders series, Stanczak said intelligence in the digital world is being commoditized by AI, while sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and data centers still face major operational friction and labor shortages. He argued that robotics today feels similar to Ethereum in 2016: still early, still imperfect, but already on a path that people can see becoming useful at scale. He also discussed why humanoid robots are only a starting point, how blockchain payments may eventually be used by AI agents and robots rather than end users, and why he is building around automated deployment in the physical world, including data center deployment. The conversation also touched on his time at the Ethereum Foundation, where he said communication transparency and a goal of shipping two forks a year were central, as well as enterprise adoption of public blockchains, Ether-related infrastructure, and his view that the private-chain narrative is fading.
