Virtuals Protocol is integrating @AskVenice to power AI agent building with private, uncensored inference, available to anyone, anywhere on @base. Venice brings best-in-class privacy-first inference. Virtuals EconomyOS brings the full agent infrastructure stack: wallets, identity, payments, commerce, funding rails, and launch infrastructure. We are deploying up to $400,000 in private inference credits so anyone can move from idea to working agent without compute or backend complexity getting in the way. Start your AI journey. Inference and infra are on us. Program details soon.

JUST IN: Meta reportedly laid off 10% of workers

🚨 Blockaid's exploit detection system identified an on-going admin-key compromise exploit on @wasabi_protocol across Ethereum and Base. The Wasabi: Deployer EOA was used to grant ADMIN_ROLE to an attacker helper contract, which then UUPS-upgraded the perp vaults and LongPool to a malicious implementation that drained balances.

Operating in stealth mode is almost always a mistake. Talk publicly about what you're building. You’ll build momentum, get real feedback, and someone will reach out with the other half of your idea you didn’t realize you were missing.

What if Pudgy Penguins become agentic?
