Airdrop farmers are also converging on the latest testnet deployment of Scroll, a Layer 2 rollup powered by zero-knowledge proofs.

On Feb. 28, Scroll launched its “alpha” deployment on Ethereum’s Goerli testnet. On Monday, Scroll tweeted that 180,000 unique wallets have already executed 665,000 transactions on its testnet.

Name Wrapper And New Manager App Slated To Launch Soon

Ethereum Name Service (ENS), the issuer of .eth domains, plans to release a major new feature which will enable holders to create subdomains with pre-specified parameters.

ENS’s name wrapper smart contract will convert existing ENS domains into ERC-1155 tokens, which can then be used to create subdomains.

For example, the holder of xyz.eth can create a subdomain called abc.xyz.eth, which can then be lent out to other users.

ENS users can also expect an updated manager app to launch alongside the name wrapper.

Account Abstraction Enables New Use Cases Including Pull Payments And Social Recovery

As the crypto industry looks to expand the ecosystem beyond its current set of users, its focus is returning to an arguably neglected corner of the industry — wallets.
