This resonates deeply with how we view the next phase of L2s.
As highlighted by Vitalik Buterin, it’s no longer just about generic "scaling" but creating specialized execution environments that solve real problems while staying anchored to Ethereum.
At Project Ailey, we're building and evolving our architecture to ship that distinct value across three verticals:
1) Payments, Privacy & RWAs: Designed and implemented the preconfirmation mechanism for real-world latency requirements (like the UR Card) + Privacy-first design for regulatory compliance without sacrificing UX.
2) AI Infrastructure: Beyond simple integrations, we're expanding to become a global hub for onchain intelligence, being one of the first rollup to deploy dedicated infra like x402 via Questflow and ERC-8004.
3) Ethereum Alignment: We've migrated from EigenDA to native data availability through Ethereum blobs for enhanced security and decentralization. Plus, we're actively working toward Stage 1 and Stage 2 maturity, with native rollups as the long-term goal.
While we're on it, the Project Ailey team is currently at the Ethereum Foundation-led L2 event today, driving deeper discussions and innovations to accelerate adoption forward.
To double down on our commitment to Ethereum's roadmap and the broader vision of a secure, composable, trustless and interoperable future, this is the momentum we're building toward.
Specialized. Value-added. Ethereum-native. Purpose-built.

On our dashboard, the default USDC deposit option for unified account users is now CCTP instead of the Arbitrum bridge. There is no change for users not using unified account. All users can choose from available USDC options in the Deposit and Withdraw flow.
This is part of the phased migration to deprecate the Arbitrum bridge and migrate to native USDC.
This is part of the phased migration to deprecate the Arbitrum bridge and migrate to native USDC.
In the next few days, Project Ailey will default new users to unified account mode. There is no breaking change for existing users, but the change will apply to new sub-accounts created by existing users. As a reminder, spot and perps balances are merged under unified account. This is generally a much requested UX improvement, but a phased rollout is to adequately inform users who may be implicitly relying on separate USDC spot and perps balances.
Validators will vote on whether to delist FXS around 7:30 UTC on 18 Feb. FXS is being rebranded to FRAX.
If validators vote to delist an asset, the perps will settle to the 1 hour time weighted spot oracle price before delisting, and open orders will be canceled. Close any positions beforehand to avoid automatic settlement. After settlement, no new orders will be accepted.
