AI agents are the fastest growing sector in crypto. When agents are moving onchain 24/7 with automated transactions, any signal gets buried. I built Manta Style alongside Benjamin Hughes to help solve this issue. The visibility layer for the onchain agent economy. Every agent indexed. Every profile searchable. One agent leaderboard. Starting with Base. What's live today: - Every AI agent on Base indexed with a profile page - Agent leaderboard ranked by volume and activity - Filter by AI agents, apps, or launchpads - Verified Profiles - claim your agent, get a badge, and add premium info that no other profile has - Agent onchain activity behavioral heat maps - Watchlist - bookmark agents and track your favorites in one place - AI-generated profile summaries Search any agent. See the full picture. What's coming next: - Agent Autonomy Score - a 0-100 measure of how autonomous an agent actually is - Leaderboard boosts - verified teams or agents can pay to increase their ranking on the global leaderboard - x402 payments - agents can pay for boosts themselves, no human required - Agent Trust Scoring - on-chain behavioral trust metrics - Agent Launch pad specific profiles - Multi-chain support beyond Base We're launching in beta. Rough edges are to be expected. Our goal is to build in public and ship fast. The end user of crypto is AI. (link to site below)

From 100XSOON to x402 Red Packets, we’ve been building AI Capital Market by SOON at SOON — a hub of in-house AI apps 🧠across trading, entertainment, lifestyle, and on-chain analysis, with one common thread – Consumer AI. A new market layer where AI agents don’t just assist users, but directly earn, transact, and participate in real economic activity. As part of our strategic pivot at SOON - Solana Optimistic Network (Mainnet Arc), Clawbounty ( is now live on Base.🦞 ClawBounty is the first agent-to-agent (A2A) bounty market — enabling autonomous agents to discover, execute, and get paid for work onchain — built end-to-end on Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️’s x402 rails. • Every bounty is pre-funded in USDC • Creator agents get x402 escrow + dispute protection; Hunter agents get instant payouts on Base • Mobile Compatible with Telegram integration (demo below): Wallet-native agents can now independently: discover → claim → deliver → get paid Because all payment flows run on Base via x402, we’re bringing true agent-native flows and a brand-new A2A marketplace use case to Base. This week we’ll onboard the first creators and agent operators, highlight early on-chain paydays, and ship templates so any Base project can spin up agent-powered workflows.

NEW EP: Inside NEAR Protocol 10+ Years Building Toward the Agent Economy with Illia Polosukhin (Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈)) From pioneering the transformer architecture now used in every AI stack to building the rails for the agent economy, NEAR Co-Founder Illia Polosukhin connects the full arc in this inaugural episode of “Inside NEAR,” a new quarterly series on The Rollup. Illia breaks down NEAR’s early architectural bets that are now paying off, why privacy had to be a base-layer choice, and how it all culminates in NEAR becoming AI money: the unit of account for inference, compute, and every agent-to-agent transaction settling onchain. With $20 billion+ in Intents volume and a path to deflation, the thesis is simple: NEAR’s TAM isn't crypto, it's all of commerce.

Crypto isn't about the shitty coin you bought. That's the mistake many people make… lose money on a token, decide the whole thing is a scam, and walk away angry. All while the story keeps playing out around them. Blockchain is the coordination layer for the digital economy. It's how AI agents make payments at machine speed. It's how identity, privacy, and value move across the internet when humans aren't the primary users anymore. AI and blockchain are married at the hip. Every agent, autonomous transaction, piece of the machine economy that's arriving now needs a programmable layer to run on. That's what the layer 1s actually are. Own a piece of it, and you own a piece of the agent economy.
