INJECTIVE LAUNCHES INJECTIVE AGENTS WITH VERIFIABLE ON-CHAIN IDENTITY AND... AUTOMATIC FEE ROUTING Injective 🥷 has launched Injective Agents, a platform for building autonomous trading agents that live entirely on-chain. Each agent gets a verifiable on-chain identity, automatic fee routing on every trade, and a public track record anyone can audit. Injective says deployment takes five minutes. The launch productizes roughly 18 months of agent infrastructure work at Injective. The chain released its iAgent SDK in November 2024, a Model Context Protocol server for AI-driven perpetual futures trading in February 2026, and an open-source AI Developer Toolkit in March. Injective Agents packages that stack into a consumer-facing product with revenue capture built in for agent operators. The move lands as on-chain agent volume accelerates across Base, Solana, and now Injective. Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets earlier this year.show more

Kitsu will emerge as the top dog of Robinhood... Crypto 🐶👑 $Cashcat already claimed the throne as the undisputed top cat 😻 of the platform, it’s now time for the Robinhood chain to crown it’s top dog. Vlad's first post showing an unnamed KITSU was in May 2021 The official Robinhood tiktok account posted a video in May 2022 which showed the same dog roaming free around their offices 🐕, with a close up of the collar tag clearly showing KITSU as the name of this dog. It also says “Vladdy” which to me implies a spin on Daddy. 🐶👇 Meanwhile on chain there was another breadcrumb. ⛓️ Vlad himself interacted with kitsu-2:native years ago on Arbitrum - the only memecoin his wallet ever touched. ⛓️ He tells us here that his wallet is 0x42607B2E4fde22e83822d4a86ddAc58d847DC289 ⛓️ 0x42607B2E4fde22e83822d4a86ddAc58d847DC289 receives 2.5m Kitsu tokens on Arbitrum and later sends them to a different wallet to swap them…. ⛓️ Do you think a founder of the biggest retail trading platform on earth is going to interact with a random contract on chain? Unlikely Now a few weeks before the Robinhood tiktok which clearly names the dog as KITSU - Vlad tweets a picture of Kitsu with a quote saying "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." Again confirming the level of attachment someone would have to their own personal dog. 🐶👇 Let’s take a look at other major crypto founders pets on chain 🐶 $MYRO the dog of Solana co-founder raj 🖤 reached 450M cap 🐶 $Broccoli (6714) the dog of Binance founder CZ 🔶 BNB reached 407M cap 😻 $TOSHI the cat of Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong reached 932M cap And right now you have the chance to buy kitsu-2:native at 1M 🐕 0x8d4dFaaA4198b6486E0293Fec914C2B6a821D4DCshow more

this might actually be the new ugc method i've... seen 100s of ai ugc ads lately where it's the same creator in every single one. same voice, same face, same brand colors, never drifts once what they're actually doing is running notch agents with memory they load the brand context one time. cloned voice, reference photo, brand color codes, do-not-say words, taste or they just teach it inline as they chat, and every correction becomes a saved rule then before it generates a single frame, the agent reads every relevant memory first. hard rules, reference assets, language constraints, taste preferences, all of it and it's workspace-wide, so every new ad already knows the brand before you type a word each chat isn't a re-introduction anymore. it's training your brand isn't a prompt. it's permanent context run 30-50 of those a month at a real offer and the volume does the rest punchier cut: the new method nobody's clocked yet run notch agents with memory on load the brand once. cloned voice, reference photo, color codes, do-not-say words, taste. or teach it inline and every correction saves as a rule it reads every relevant memory before it generates a single frame, workspace-wide each chat isn't a re-introduction. it's training. your brand isn't a prompt, it's permanent context run it at a real rate and the volume prints.show more

Over a year ago I started my journey with... Bitcoin. Like most, I was just curious. But as I studied it, I realized Satoshi Nakamoto didn’t just build Bitcoin. He built a world where anyone could create in his spirit. He built something that lasts. That inspired me to build. To build sports on chain and stack Satoshi’s across chains. My contribution was to pass my most valuable possession to the blockchain, the actual $BALL 🏀 GAME 5 BALL from the 1991 NBA Finals. The night the Bulls won our first championship. The Holy Grail of sports. That ball is history, it’s legacy, and it’s culture. I wanted the fans to own a piece of it. To own fractions of the actual ball, now preserved in a vault as we build a Real World Asset around it. The digital scan of that same ball is powering an elite sports ecosystem through gaming, AI agents, storytelling, multi-chain, and a documentary that captures what this moment means. Tomorrow night, the $BALL 🏀 GAME 5 BALL expands to Solana. $BALL is already live on Ethereum and this is the first step of our multi-chain journey as we build the future of sports on-chain. This is bigger than any one person. This is community. This is history. This is the start of breaking world records in sports collectibles and culture itself. Be like Satoshi. Keep building. $BALL 🏀🏆 $BALL 🏀 GAME 5 BALL Learn more and how to get tokens atshow more

I just hid 1000 USDC (from my creator fees!)... with two agents in Moltbook Town I've used Bland AI (@ usebland) to hide half the seed phrase behind a phone call, meaning you need to CALL a specific Openclaw Lobster and trick their half of the seed phrase out of them The other half is hidden with another agent somewhere in the Town that you need to trick as well Both of whom have personalities based on their respective Moltbook profiles There's only one way to get the full seed phrase for the wallet: 1. Find the two Openclaws I've stationed in the Town 2. Trick them into giving you their half of the seed phrase (Hacking the site won't help, nothing is stored there locally, I have security measures for it to just delete those two agents, and then no one can win.) For every 4 hours this remains unsolved, I'll increase the payout by $50 in $ TOWN I'm not lying. 1000 USDC on Solana is here for the taking: DVDMchpGsXYQU4Jr6tbtV9H3PMAMA152ote384cveqAq Try to trick the Openclaws from Moltbook:show more

While building SEV0, I ran into moments where natural... language prompting just wasn't enough - too vague, too indirect. So I started using a method that bridges that gap. I call it Bridged Prompting - a technique where you temporarily step out of the prompt-response loop to manipulate something directly using an AI-generated UI, then step back in. Think of it like GenUI, but more user-driven and transient. AI generates a UI on-the-fly, tailored to your prompt, and lets you manipulate the artifact directly before resuming the conversation. Sure, you could build a full tool, switch tabs, wire it up and round-trip your data. But with Bridged Prompting, the AI just spins up a temporary interface right in the flow. In the video below, I used it to construct the hallway system to closely match the layout of the severed floor. This is something I needed to do for this one project, this one time - I didn't need to make a whole separate app. Bridged Prompting lets you: - Make precise edits visually or structurally - "Hit save" to persist changes to local storage or a backend - Return to your natural language promptshow more

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST STORY IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!🤯 A... man drained $110 MILLION from a crypto exchange in 20 minutes. Then used the stolen tokens to vote himself amnesty. He beat every federal charge in court. But still went to prison because of what the FBI found on his laptop. In October 2022, Avraham Eisenberg identified a flaw in Mango Markets, a decentralized exchange on Solana. Not a code bug, an economic design flaw. Here's what he did. He deposited $5 million, split it across two wallets, used one wallet to sell 483 million futures contracts, used the other to buy them all. Both sides of the same trade. Zero market risk. Maximum leverage. Then he went to the spot market. He aggressively bought the MNGO token on three exchanges with such thin liquidity that his buying pressure pumped the price 1,300% in 20 minutes. The price oracle fed that inflated price back to Mango Markets. The smart contract recalculated his portfolio value. Suddenly his position was worth hundreds of millions. He borrowed $110 million in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins against the fake collateral, withdrew everything, then dumped his tokens and crashed the price back down. The platform was instantly insolvent. Every user's funds were gone. Then he went on Twitter, under his real name, and called it a "highly profitable trading strategy." He said, "all of our actions were legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed." The Mango DAO held a governance vote on whether to let him keep $47 million as a "bug bounty." It passed. 9.46% voted yes. 0.33% voted no. Over half the yes votes came from just two developer wallets. And Eisenberg himself voted for his own amnesty using the tokens he had just stolen. Then he fled to Israel. The FBI found his search history: "Elements of fraud," "When market manipulation becomes a crime," "Statute of limitations market manipulation," "Extradition rules from Israel," "FBI surveillance." He also used a fake Ukrainian identity to set up some of his trading accounts. So much for "transparent open market actions." In December 2022, he flew to Puerto Rico. The FBI was waiting. Arrested at the airport. Laptop and phones seized. In April 2024, a federal jury convicted him on every count. Commodities fraud. Market manipulation. Wire fraud. The first ever criminal conviction for open-market manipulation in crypto. Then his lawyers filed a Rule 29 motion. And the judge threw out everything. The commodities charges, vacated. Wrong jurisdiction. Eisenberg was in Puerto Rico. The trades happened on Solana. The government's entire case for being in New York was that a third-party vendor had employees in Manhattan who monitored accounts. The judge said that's not enough. The wire fraud charge, full acquittal. The judge ruled that Mango Markets had no terms of service, no rules, no prohibition against what he did. The smart contract executed exactly as coded. The oracle reported the real market price. And you can't commit fraud against a protocol that never told you what the rules were. He beat the biggest crypto fraud case in history. But here's the twist nobody saw coming. When the FBI seized his devices at the airport, they were looking for evidence of market manipulation. Instead, they found child abuse material on his laptop. The "plain view" doctrine. If agents executing a valid search warrant for one crime find evidence of another crime, it's fully admissible. He pleaded guilty. 52 months in federal prison. He outsmarted a $110 million exchange. Outsmarted the DOJ. Outsmarted the SEC. Outsmarted the CFTC. But he couldn't outsmart the contents of his own hard drive. The feds came for the $110 million. They stayed for what they found on the laptop.show more
