Several notable protocol updates landed this week across the crypto stack. PumpFun, which generated $124.7 million in on-chain revenue in Q1 2026 — making it Solana's highest-earning application — has adopted USDC trading pairs, broadening its stablecoin rails beyond native SOL-denominated flows. Sui is launching gas-free stablecoin transfers, lowering the friction barrier for everyday stablecoin use on its network. BNB Chain, meanwhile, has published a post-quantum cryptography report, signalling early-stage preparation for the longer-term threat quantum computing poses to current signing schemes.
On the other side of the ledger, Zero Network is winding down — a reminder that not every infrastructure bet from the last cycle finds a sustainable path forward.
