Foundation completed the bridge between platforms just two months
after receiving a community grant, strengthening trust in
decentralized ecosystems and expanding World ID’s usage.
Coinbase’s cbBTC surpasses $100M in 24 hours but faces criticism

surpassed $100 million in market cap within its first 24 hours.

control could be legally compromised, as token holders and the
security council could be forced to act under court orders. Matter
Labs, creators of ZKsync, responded, stating that the network is
progressing toward full decentralization with a new governance
structure involving Token Assembly, the Security Council, and
Guardians, to prevent unilateral control.
