Ethereum Layer 2 data platform L2BEAT announced its rebranding to ETHBEAT. The team stated that their work has clearly exceeded the scope of Layer 2, and the new name aligns with their new mission. The name change does not signify a abandonment of Layer 2 coverage; relevant monitoring will continue, but Layer 2 will no longer be the sole focus. The current emphasis is on confirming whether systems built on Ethereum truly deliver the assurances of Ethereum to users.L2BEAT was launched over five years ago, with the initial goal of organizing the rapidly developing Ethereum Layer 2 at that time. The team tracked adoption through dashboards, starting with total locked value, later adjusting to total assurance value, and expanding to data such as activity levels; they also reviewed the source code of deployed smart contracts to assess whether these systems inherit Ethereum's security guarantees.ETHBEAT will bring its existing transparency and review methods to a broader Ethereum ecosystem and collaborate with other Ethereum organizations. Layer 2 remains one of the core areas, alongside privacy and the upcoming liquid staking, while cross-chain interoperability, tokens, zero-knowledge proofs, native Rollups, and foundational layer changes will also continue to be tracked. The team also launched the CROPS guide, which includes projects that meet principles of anti-censorship, open-source, privacy, and security. Its mission is to help users understand and reduce reliance on intermediaries, clarifying whom users must trust, what these entities can do, and whether users can still exit after other participants withdraw.

R25 today announced that its core product R25 Studio, based on the 2 architecture, has officially launched public testing. R25 Studio is dedicated to realizing the vision of "everyone can become an asset manager," fully opening up the capabilities for the establishment, operation, and distribution of institutional-level funds. By abstracting cumbersome legal documents, backend systems, and compliance processes into configurable smart contracts, R25 Studio has successfully compressed the fund establishment cycle from several months to just 10 minutes.The platform revolves around Build, Manage, Earn, and Distribute, covering Vault creation, subscription and redemption, investment management, fee earning, and distribution; asset managers can autonomously set investment parameters, management fees, and performance fee rates on-chain without building complex fund structures from scratch, generate exclusive Vault Tokens/Shares, and list the Vault on channels such as Dapp and Topnod. The platform also provides performance data such as NAV, APY, cumulative returns, and maximum drawdown, helping asset managers monitor strategy performance in real-time.Previously, in Phase 1, Axil launched a private credit Vault on R25 and successfully surpassed $130 million in TVL, validating the reliability of this infrastructure. The registration channel for the first batch of managers is now open.
