I'm not usually one for metaphors, but working on tech these days with increasingly impressive AI assistance reminded me of something: I once had an ebike where you had to pedal to get started, but then after. you reached a certain speed, the motor would take over. Working on AI R&D these days feels like that to me. We've been pedaling really hard and getting some good exercise and exhausting ourselves, but now we can feel the motor starting to kick in... which means we need to pay a higher percentage of our attention to steering! But where the analogy breaks is, in this case, once the motor fully kicks in, so will the self-driving function that steers better than us -- so that once the thing is fully revved up, the only point in it ever letting us steer OR pedal would be just for the lulz...

⚡️ CZ: AI agents will make 1M times more payments than humans, and they will use crypto.

AI is already running payments. Visa uses machine learning to secure, route, and manage transactions — globally, in real time. $Vx is now tradable on-chain via xStocks on ioPay. 🔁 iopay.me

IoTeX was selected by @MessariCrypto as a core case study in its new AI report, cited alongside @worldcoin, @coinbase, @opentensor and others. Messari’s research underscores a bigger shift: real-world AI needs verified data, and IoTeX is the first full stack infrastructure that can supply it. Live device data becomes verifiable insight, ready for real-world agentic deployment. Quicksilver is already proving this in production with @DIMO_Network, @nubilanetwork and more, powering agentic applications built on IoTeX-verified real-world intelligence. Read the full analysis in the report below.

Pay close attention to the High Level Focus for 2026. IoTeX is strategically prioritizing the core pillars that will define the next era of the Real World AI economy: Decentralization & Scalability, R3al World AI Infrastructure, A Vibrant Ecosystem and A Deep Capital Market. The opportunities for growth and investment in IoTeX Stack will be immense.

IoTeX is now fully MiCA compliant across all 27 EU member states. MiCA, the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, sets a single standard for how digital assets are disclosed and supported across Europe. By publishing a MiCA-compliant whitepaper for IOTX, IoTeX is now one of few blockchain infrastructure platforms with EU-wide regulatory clarity in place. This milestone gives enterprises, exchanges, and custodians a clear foundation to support machine-economy and Real World AI applications on IoTeX, and marks an important step toward deeper enterprise partnerships and long-term adoption across the EU.
