ENS DAO approves two-year security council to block malicious transactions

ENS DAO has approved the creation of an eight-member security council with a two-year term, adding a new safeguard to the protocol’s governance process. The council will operate under a 5-of-8 multisig structure and can cancel malicious transactions during the two-day timelock period after a governance proposal passes. According to the update, the body holds veto power designed to stop potentially harmful transactions before they affect the protocol. The move is described as an important upgrade to ENS governance security, with the multisig and timelock setup intended to strengthen protection around proposal execution.

Cardano to add native BLS12-381 support in Protocol Version 11

The Cardano Foundation said Plutus smart contracts now have native support for BLS12-381 elliptic-curve cryptography, a change aimed at lowering the cost of verifying large numbers of signatures on-chain. According to the announcement, the feature allows thousands of signatures to be verified at low cost without relying on off-chain services. The mechanism uses signature aggregation to compress multisignature approvals into a single proof, keeping on-chain verification costs constant. The functionality is scheduled to go live with Protocol Version 11, which is planned for release in May 2026. The foundation said the upgrade is intended for use cases including multisig custody and cross-chain bridges. CryptoBriefing was cited in the original report.
