Leaderboard has implemented on-chain identity resolution for Handshake Name System (HNS) through @hlnames integration.​

Key Update:

• Users now see human-readable names instead of wallet addresses
• Identity resolution happens directly on-chain
• Improves user experience by replacing cryptographic addresses with memorable names

This follows a broader trend in web3 toward user-friendly naming systems.​ Earlier this year, Clave v2 launched ENS-powered usernames with unified account views across Arbitrum and Base networks.​

Starknet has achieved full post-quantum security across its infrastructure, marking a significant milestone in blockchain resilience against future quantum computing threats.​

Key Developments:

• Post-quantum proving system - Already implemented by design in Starknet's core architecture
• Post-quantum wallets - Now live on the network with seamless migration path
• Native Account Abstraction - Enables easy transition without requiring address changes or hard forks

The upgrade required no disruptive network changes, allowing users to maintain their existing addresses while gaining quantum-resistant security.​ Most of the technical implementation work has been completed, positioning Starknet as one of the first major blockchain networks to achieve comprehensive post-quantum readiness.​

This development addresses growing concerns about quantum computers potentially breaking current cryptographic standards used in blockchain technology.​

Venus Protocol is preparing to launch a new feature that will bring fixed yield opportunities to its platform through integration with Pendle Finance.​

Key details:

• One-click access to fixed yields
• No prior Pendle experience required - simplified user experience
• Launch timeline not yet announced

This integration aims to make fixed-rate DeFi yields more accessible to Venus users by removing the complexity typically associated with Pendle's yield tokenization protocol.​
