Moonbeam is shifting its focus from a Polkadot parachain to Ethereum layer-2 Base and is pursuing an AI agent communication and settlement network called the Moonbeam Protocol. It told GLMR holders to bridge tokens to Base by July 31, 2026. Tokens locked in lending markets, staking contracts and other DeFi protocols are included, while tokens held on centralized exchanges require no separate action.

The Solana Foundation introduced a new governance framework, Solana Governance Proposals (SGP), to let validators and delegators make protocol-level decisions on-chain. Validators with at least 100,000 SOL delegated can submit proposals. Voting power is based on delegated SOL, and proposals need backing from validators representing at least 15 percent of active staked tokens to proceed to formal voting. The foundation also broadened delegator rights and separated smaller upgrades into Solana Improvement Documents (SIMD).
