Yet another great thread on real world MEV. But you can do something about it 🔜. OAuth3: turn privacy into agency. Stay tuned @flashbots_x .
“How does MEV trading work in attention markets?” Glad you asked! Here’s a crash course in memetic frontrunning, oracle risk, and attention perps 🧵

Flashbots has a surplus of great ideas for great app builders looking to disrupt web2
Replying to @ThogardPvP
hehe we are not building a wallet. there are so so many great wallet builders out there. web 2 app's dev-to-user relationship is PERMISSIONED INTEROP constrained and sanctioned by app and OS design pattern today, whereas web 3 is rooted in PERMISSIONLESS INTEROP. accounts are the portal across worlds. we are accelerating a movement that's grounded in security research that can bring together the warring factions within AA wallets, and privy's of our world, along with the zk(mpc)tls vampire attack enthusiasts together, through strict improvement in security and capabilities ;) fingers crossed, enjoy a wave of UX shock therapies across your favorite web2 apps, soon to be unleashed by the Banksy of the Web where there's no divide between 2 & 3 ;) p.s. the direction you are guessing is not wrong, but devils in the details. we may get to a similar place but here's a peek into why this matters to me: (this is part of my angry draft tweet that I never sent, after getting triggered by CT's bad vibes, and frustration seeing capable people keep getting emotionally sabotaged by tribalism that kept them from being able to work together. consider this a shower thought CTA).

what if those who authored Oauth 1.0 but ragequit Oauth 2.0 joins force with our Oauth3 movement? gist.github.com/nckroy/dd2d4… about time to give agency back to users - the prosumers of our future app substrates. ;)

The Importance of TEE in AI Agents and the Role of Eliza Framework I believe that every AI agent should utilize TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) to ensure security and trust. In fact, I am confident that in the future, AI agents that do not integrate TEE will not survive. Why is TEE Important? - Data Protection: TEE ensures that AI agents' data remains secure from unauthorized access and modification, maintaining its confidentiality and integrity. - Verifiability & Trust: By running code in an isolated environment, TEE makes AI agent actions verifiable and reliable, increasing user trust in autonomous decisions. - Autonomy in Resource Management: TEE allows AI agents to manage assets autonomously (e.g., handling crypto transactions) without human intervention, ensuring full operational independence. What Happens Without TEE? Imagine a developer creates an AI agent without TEE integration. In such a case, the developer or other parties with access to the infrastructure could manipulate the agent’s behavior or extract sensitive data. This undermines trust in the agent and poses serious security risks. By the way, I just learned from @VirtualElena's new article that @sxysun1 and @socrates1024 (from @flashbots_x) are exploring the idea of "delegating" accounts to AI agents. They are experimenting with TEEs, creating: - AI agents that autonomously manage Twitter accounts without human intervention. - Smart contracts for accounts, where AI agents must strictly follow predefined conditions. - "Satan" – an AI that allows users to make deals, where breaking the conditions results in penalties. Key Idea: AI can achieve true agency if its behavior is fully governed by an environment inaccessible to external interference (such as TEE). The Role of ElizaOS Since I consider Eliza to be the leading framework, capable of laying the foundation for a vast number of new AI agents with the upcoming launch of its AI launchpad, I found it appropriate to specifically mention this framework. In collaboration with @PhalaNetwork, @elizaOS integrates TEE capabilities to ensure the security and transparency of AI agents. This enables AI agents built with Eliza to operate in isolated environments, protecting their operations and data from external threats. Additionally, TEE integration allows for cryptographic verification of agent actions, reinforcing trust in their autonomy.

my first take on what the stages should look like: 0. agent has attestable log in TEE 1. entire agent flow (except inference) running inside of a tee 2. agent has an encumbered twitter/discord/telegram account 3. agent has an encumbered wallet 4. agent has API keys encumbered (e.g., twitter oauth dev account) 5. agent has inference inside of a TEE 6. agent has an open-source prompt 7. agent has an open-source codebase 8. agent code update time & requirements (is it a multi-sig, is it a hard time limit like can only update once per 7 days) 9. has remote attestation or not (and if yes, which tee platform, is it at a cloud?)

we need an l2beat for ai agents one that includes info on their provability, audit logs, backroom terminals, inbound data sources agents can have their own stage1 stage2 definitions

💯agentic workflow is tomorrow's app substrate how to leapfrog orderflow chokepoints, social media attention sinks? will be hacking on web2<>web3 x app<>infra at @flashbots_x NYC Pi-rateship hackerhouse tee.space in January @sxymoonsama will be judging ;)

I genuinely believe that AI agents will be the new interface layer for interacting with the internet. Communication through natural language (text speech) is much simpler and more intuitive than following existing internet protocols. Express the action you want to do -> agent parses the request and executes it in the most optimal way. "Book the cheapest flights to London for January 14-21st with no layovers and no middle seats". AI agent searches for all possible flights, finds the cheapest ones, fills out your personal info, selects the seat, and books the tickets. Iron Man's Jarvis system will become a reality and the default norm for interaction one day.

In the last few months Flashbots and the TEE/acc ecosystem have upgraded Ethereum L1, Ethereum L2, and the entire fabric of web3 social and block space auctions. It may have been easy to miss in the torrent of information, but don't worry, I'll recap it all for you below⚡️🧵
