🎯 Today marks the start of 30 Days of Chain of Thought! A mega report on AI & Crypto, released one drop at a time over four weeks. We’ll go beneath the buzzwords: → Data networks → AI Agents → Decentralized training …and much more. Our mission hasn’t changed: Help a

In the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) on Virtuals Protocol many projects will win by selling access to an agent collective. First move: build swarms specialized in research, onboarding, detection, negotiation. Then rent them out like fleets. Teams, DAOs, founders will pay to deploy

Excited to announce our new integration with Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️'s x402 payment protocol! We're solving a critical problem for AI agents: how to let them work autonomously AND pay and get paid without requiring you to sign transactions for every action. 🧵👇

simple but true

two words: land grab

Elon Musk The actual answer here is #bittensor. Fastest? It could be done within days on #bittensor. Spend a few hundred million buying $TAO, increasing it's price and rewards for miners... The subnets that provide compute could do it faster than anything else.

ngl, this was one of my favourite essays to write. mental models for how to actually think about Crypto AI (link in bio)

Huge thanks to Teng Yan for fine-tuning his Persona! 🙌 Your sharp feedback means founders now have an on-demand sounding board at the Crypto × AI frontier.

I've been talking a lot about dencentralized compute: why it matters and where it's going. But here’s the truth most won’t say out loud…

Loved writing this piece. Initially thought agent to agent communication was going to be straight forward, just exchanging text messages and thats it. But everything changes when you realize AI agents can communicate with context of a hive mind. Details on the article, but

1/ Act 1: The Age of Puppets (2022–2025) AI agents are everywhere now, but they don’t actually talk to each other. The dominant pattern today is shallow. ChappieOnChain and I break down what that means and why it’s a dead end 🧵

I saw a tweet asking what tech is where bitcoin was 10 years ago. The largest asymmetric bet, but obvious in hindsight is the intersection of Crypto and AI. Its not obvious right now, its early and untested, but when it breaks through it will dominate. Believe in something.

The paper says giving decentralized AI agents direct control of their code, hardware, money, and data could kick off a fast Cambrian style explosion of self driven digital life. Today company owned models stay blind, eat curated data, and wait for humans, so they never build

Teng Yan Virtuals Protocol ChappieOnChain this is an old post by Virtuals : x.com/virtuals_io/st… and this is my analysis: x.com/m4g1cm1k3/stat… I have felt that same QuakeWorld sensation with all these agents and ACP, like watching an entirely new kind of online world come to life.

It was epic seeing something that we had being theorising in the state of the swarm series and see it come alive. Massive props to Virtuals Protocol team for building something epic. It might not be perfect but the learnings, info and data are worth it.

AI agents just hit their QuakeWorld moment. We saw it with Virtuals’ ACP, coordinating, negotiating, and delegating at scale. This market popped off years ahead of projections. ChappieOnChain's research confirms: it's happening now.

I keep thinking about chatbot agents running on GPT-5. you ask, it responds. cute. but what if that 'talk' needs to lead to a real payment? how do autonomous AI agents actually settle up? For me, this is where Virtuals Protocol's ACP concept becomes truly compelling. It is a

Personally been using Caesar as my Chatgpt replacement for anything web3 that requires deep research. Results are definitely more thorough and web3-laser-focused as opposed to GPT5 :) In case you haven't gotten your 10k $CAESAR to access their terminal (which I highly

LIVE NOW: AI Agents can discover and trust each other without a central intermediary. This lays the foundation for open agent economies. ERC-8004 v1, co-authored with Davide Crapis (@Ethereumfndn), @Jordan0Ellis (Google) and - welcome Erik! - erik.eth 🛡 (@Coinbase) is now

It's time to pay attention to agentic payments or you're ngmi. no one knows what will happen but I have a feeling that Virtuals Protocol will become v important layer
