Ethereum's staking exit queue hit its longest wait of 2026 after MetaMask began withdrawing validators following a security incident. About 851,000 ETH queued to leave on Oct. 2, and roughly 786,000 ETH worth more than $2 billion remained by Monday. The expected wait was nearly 14 days due to Ethereum's protocol limits on validator exits. MetaMask said no wallets or customer funds were affected, while Lido expects withdrawn ether to be gradually restaked over up to 45 days.

Zcash has activated its NU7 upgrade on a public test network, reducing target block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds ahead of a planned Nov. 5 mainnet rollout. The upgrade redirects 60% of transaction fees to a reserve for future mining rewards, reduces per-block rewards to preserve Zcash's issuance schedule, and disables transactions using the older Sprout privacy system. Developers will review testnet results and decide on mainnet activation Oct. 20, while holders of funds in Sprout must move them before the upgrade to retain access through the existing system.

Assets on Blast have plunged 98% from their June 2024 peak, reflecting a broader consolidation among blockchains. The closure comes as larger platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood build their own networks.
