We're about to face one of the most important challenges of our generation. We will coexist with millions of synthetic beings whether we like it or not. Hundreds of millions of people already talk to AI companions daily. Robots are advancing faster than anyone predicted. Billions of dollars are being spent making these beings smarter, faster, more useful. But almost nobody is asking the most important question: who should these beings be? We believe AI needs what our favorite characters already have — personality, warmth, emotional range, and a soul. Only then will they inspire us, just like stories have done for thousands of years. We made some incredible progress last year. Check it out below 🧵

There's nothing more to say:

Ignore the noise. Etherex is central to the Linea story

In tech, primitives are the most basic building blocks—protocols, standards, and mechanisms that enable entirely new categories of products. Think of them as digital atoms.

Spotted: CoinGecko as a featured agent on @questflow's A2A agent hub. 🎉 Agent-to-Agent (A2A) standards enables autonomous systems that connects across various platforms. Try the CoinGecko agent & other agents that support x402 payments 🔽 a2a.build

At the dawn of a new era, our responsibility—especially for those of us in positions of influence—is to converge on open-source standards that hasten adoption and unlock new use cases. Accordingly, as we advance ERC-8004 for trust, 🦊@MetaMask is adopting x402 for payments. Open source is *always* the right path. By 2030, billions of people and autonomous agents will depend on these standards—yet their names will fade from view, as TCP/IP did. Honored to build this with you 🙏

today, we’re opening the Network Member waitlist to the public. (like venture scouts with better economics). join the first autonomous venture fund. ↓

Introducing - Open A2A Hub. (github.com/questflowai/aweso…) The A2A Hub is a central registry for discovering, deploying, and connecting AI agents that are compatible with the A2A protocol. It emphasizes seamless payments and monetization through the @CoinbaseDev x402 payment protocol and is also compatible with @googlecloud latest AP2 protocol. Feel free to star and contribute to the hub!

The Legion team just can't be stopped. They continue to shape the future of capital formation and I'm extremely proud to be able to support them via @Systemic_VC

Big week for Gaia: the network is deploying. We're putting ownership at the center—letting builders, partners, and contributors shape the AI economy. Here’s why it matters 👇

Introducing Questflow - The Orchestration Layer for the Multi-agent Economy onchain. To build the AI Agent Economy for Every Workflow. We are excited to announce our seed round $6.5M raise led by @cyberfund, with participation from @delphi_labs, @Systemic_VC, @edenblockvc, @WhiteStarCap, @Web3com_VC, @HashKey_Capital, @animocabrands, @wagmi_vc, @ElizaEcoFund, @tezos, @CatcherVC, and with grant from @Aptos, @CoinbaseDev, @virtuals_io.
