On April 15, news emerged that Boundless and XRPL Commons announced the completion of the first native ZK validator deployment on the XRPL. A RISC-V based validator is now directly operational on-chain, making XRPL the first public blockchain to incorporate programmable privacy as a native feature of the ledger, along with built-in compliance controls. It is reported that the integration took six months to complete, during which the two parties jointly designed a Smart Escrow transaction type with programmable release conditions. Developer toolkits and testnet environments are now ready. Smart Escrow is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026, requiring valid ZK proofs before fund transfers; Smart Vault will follow, introducing KYC access reviews and sanction screening mechanisms for each transaction before settlement, while also supporting limited disclosures to regulatory authorities. Odelia Torteman, Head of Enterprise Adoption at XRPL Commons, stated, 'XRPL has always been designed for institutional finance. By bringing in Boundless, we are turning confidential and compliant execution capabilities into XRPL's native infrastructure.' The Boundless team has over five years of experience in privacy infrastructure, with their proof network currently processing approximately 400 trillion computing cycles daily and achieving a system availability of 99.9%.

On April 15, the prediction market Polymarket initiated a review of third-party startups within its Builders Program. Launched in November last year, this program allows external developers to build trading applications on Polymarket's infrastructure, currently hosting around 200 developers who can receive up to $2.5 million in funding and weekly rewards. The issue arises as the top developers in terms of trading volume are all creating similar applications: copy trading apps. These applications compile trading accounts with unusually high win rates for users or flag suspicious trades in terms of timing and amount, enabling users to replicate these trades with one click. Kreo markets itself as helping users "find insider traders earlier than others," while Polycool prominently displays a "Polymarket Insider Trading Guide" on its official website, stating, "This is not the stock market; betting on non-public information won't land you in jail; the rules of decentralized prediction markets are entirely different." The trading volume generated by the Builders Program skyrocketed from $100 million in November last year to over $600 million in March this year, accounting for 16% of Polymarket's total trading volume that month. The founder of the copy trading app PolyGun recently claimed that its weekly trading volume once represented 11% of Polymarket's entire platform. However, security issues have also surfaced. In February, PolyGun was hacked due to a code vulnerability, resulting in the theft of approximately $70,000 in user funds, while another copy trading app, Polycule, was hacked earlier for about $230,000. Most copy trading apps are operated by anonymous teams, reachable only via Telegram. All three executives listed in PolyGun's press release use pseudonyms, with the operation primarily managed by one individual. Concerns over insider trading extend beyond just copy trading. On April 7, four user accounts betting on a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran made a profit of $663,000, with blockchain analysis firm Lookonchain discovering that these accounts were created and funded on the same day, with no prior trading history. Last month, Polymarket partnered with data analytics firm Palantir to enhance compliance monitoring for sports betting and updated its rules to prohibit trading based on "stolen confidential information." However, Polymarket does not require users to verify their identities, and many traders use VPNs to mask their locations and frequently switch accounts, making enforcement much more challenging compared to competitor Kalshi, which mandates user identity verification. Polymarket's trading volume in March was approximately $23 billion, a tenfold increase compared to the same period last year, and it is currently raising funds at a valuation of $20 billion, up from a valuation of $9 billion in October. Kalshi completed its funding in March at a valuation of $22 billion. Both platforms are facing scrutiny from lawmakers in multiple U.S. states, who believe that prediction markets effectively circumvent state laws on illegal gambling.

Polymarket Reviews Its Developer Program Amidst Concerns Over Copy Trading Apps

According to Cointelegraph, blockchain analytics firm Glassnode expects that even though the Shapella update will unlock staked ETH, less than 1% are planning to sell. The analytics company said that only 253 validators had signed up to exit. Apart from this, there are also mechanisms in place to prevent a massive flood of ETH supply from being dumped in the markets at the same time.
One of the expected effects of the Shapella update is the onboarding of more institutional investors to Ethereum. Freddy Zwanzger, Ethereum ecosystem lead at Blockdaemon, foresees that there may be more interest in ETH staking opportunities from larger investors since there’s a clear withdrawal option in place now.
