bringing back the best pieces of media on this

personal news: stepping into leading developer growth; still doing research engineering. first order of business: sovereign agentkit. deploy a media agent in a few clicks for $10. it owns its own substack, email, and wallet. agents that own property are agents you can own. demo below. it's an experimental beta -- if you face any issues, let us know. try now -- link in reply

The agentic economy is accelerating and it’s far more exciting than anyone had imagined. Moltbook made it to the mainstream: agents interacting, competing, settling, coordinating. Even @elonmusk engaged with the idea of agent courts (Moltcourt on EigenCloud). Single-player agents can run anywhere and don’t need verifiability. But multi-player agents (serving many users or other agents) need trust: verifiability and privacy. Prove the agent ran this code, used this data, can upgrade only via this process, and keeps data inside its container. That is real agent identity: code data upgrades state. Next up are sovereign agents: ownerless agents like Bitcoin. Musicians, journalists, teachers earning, spending, compounding on their own. We built EigenCloud for verifiable and sovereign agents so open innovation can scale to high stakes real world use cases. Open Innovation Challenge: Build a verifiable or sovereign agent by Feb 20. Top 5 get EigenCompute credits, I’m putting up $10,000 for the best! No tokenized agents.

EigenDA hits 1GB/s = 8 Gbps Scaling ETH blobs 10,000x. Fits 100x today’s Solana. Runs on 100 operators. I wrote a Ethereum hyperscaling primer in Feb 2022 laying out our vision to scale ETH to 1TB/s. It’s insane to see those theoretical ideas come live: we have now scaled Ethereum 10,000x today! You ask: who cares? Answer: those who believe this is early innings in crypto. Example. Make blockchains multi-modal! You want to run a reality tv show with a prediction market where a verifiable AI selects contestants across rounds. To make it non manipulable, stream your reality tv video into EigenDA. EigenDA can hold 100,000 hours of video stream per day! And EigenAI can give you verifiable deterministic AI for selection. The EigenCloud stack is now ready to empower the most ambitious builders! Eigen: build anything, verify everything

DeFi has lost $9B to exploits in 4 years, $200M in just the last two weeks. Trust is breaking. When things go wrong, there’s no safety net. @SafuLabs is building the first DeFi-native insurance protocol. As simple as a swap. As protective as coverage should be. Users sacrifice a small share of yield → underwriters take the risk → If nothing happens, they keep the premium. If things break, your loss is covered. Why now? There’s $25B in idle capital hunting for yield. SAFU connects the two sides — protection meets return. Market: • First beachhead: $5.3B in stablecoin vaults • Expanding to $42B in insurable DeFi assets Backed by a team that previously deployed $20M in p2p lending. Mainnet planned for 2026. DeFi grows when people feel safe. SAFU is building that future.

After reviewing 100 incredible applications and running a @jokerace_io community vote, we’re thrilled to announce the 24 teams selected for Founders Lab 🎉 These teams will receive 1:1 mentorship from some of Ethereum’s top builders at @EFDevcon learning from the best in GTM, fundraising, product, and scaling. Big thank you to everyone who applied, the quality of projects was insane. The energy, ideas, and conviction remind us why Ethereum’s founder community is unmatched.
