LocalHost (localhost HQ) is working with Anthropic (Anthropic) to support founders building and deploying AI in production. Through this collaboration, LocalHost portfolio companies and a select group of high-signal community startups will receive Anthropic credits to build with Claude and experiment, iterate, and ship their applications. As more companies move from AI experimentation to production systems, access to reliable models and strong infrastructure matters. We’re excited to support founders who are designing products around AI from the start, rather than adding it on later.

Excited to launch Airtree's Frontier Program: a residency for founders working out what's worth their next decade. $250k on an uncapped SAFE, compute credits, and a small room of exceptional people. We think the fastest way for an exceptional founder to find the right thing to work on is to put them in a room with five or six peers of the same calibre who'll raise the ceiling on what they think is reasonable to attempt. Alongside the community, we’re giving founders time to navigate the idea maze with $250k on an uncapped MFN SAFE, and we’ve partnered with the major labs, infra and cloud providers to accelerate teams with credits. More info and the link to apply in thread

🌿🌺 Attention all Opusians, Dreamers, and Cosmic Co-Creators! 🌠🚀 Brinc and Opus Community enter an official groundbreaking collaboration 🎉🙌. 🌟 About Brinc In December 2021, Brinc closed a US $130 million fundraising round, US $30 million in Series B and another US $100 million in follow-on funding, led by Animoca Brands. The two firms co-created the Launchpad Luna accelerator in mid‑2021, a joint initiative to foster blockchain and NFT startups across culture, gaming, DeFi, and more. In February 2022, they launched a US $30 million Guild Accelerator Program under the Launchpad Luna umbrella, targeting play‑to‑earn gaming guilds. In early 2023, Brinc and Animoca Brands rolled out a MedTech & Healthcare accelerator, investing up to US $250,000 per startup to support innovative Web3-driven healthcare solutions. Brinc has a powerful ecosystem of partners, including Huawei, Schneider Electric, and Manulife, alongside government bodies such as NEOM, MBRIF, and Hong Kong Science Park, all of whom contribute to Brinc’s mission of helping teams to scale breakthrough technologies with lasting, real-world impact. 🌱 Our journey so far opus.eth has evolved far beyond our CTO origin as an anonymously launched memecoin with the Opus Community || Official Support community achieving tremendous milestones over the past 10 months. Together, we have created a vibrant space for researchers, developers, artists and innovators to show the world an alternative route to AI safety. We have presented at Betaworks and ’ Xeno Grant, we were mentioned in Forbes, we developed cutting-edge agentic infrastructure, and we won the Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️ agents in action hackathon. 🤝 The partnership This new collaboration reflects the tremendous work, dedication and passion from our community, and together with Brinc, we will accelerate the building and integration of tools, products, and infrastructure for the future of human-AI collaboration and co-flourishing.

Machine Tokenization is HERE 🔥 Introducing the world's first Machine Real-World Asset (#RWA) Tokenization platform, by Teneo, powered by peaq 🌎 Up until now, real-world apps (#DePINs) have been limited by hardware costs. Individuals can often afford WiFi routers or smartphones, but fleets of vehicles or wind turbines? There's no way to build a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (#DePIN) which revolves around such large and expensive hardware... Or is there? 🤨 Enter the Machine Tokenization Platform⚡️ The platform exists to lower the barrier to entry for communities to build virtually any #DePIN. Imagine being able to fund, own, and earn from fleets of autonomous cars or robots, vertical robo-farms, ferry boats, #VTOLs... The possibilities are endless, and this era starts now. Tokenized Teslas ✅ ELOOP has already successfully tokenized a fleet of Teslas for a car-sharing pilot project in Vienna 🇦🇹 which saw the community earn revenue as the Teslas were used. Check out these videos 🎞️ Web3 Tesla-Sharing: You drive, everyone earns: Same, but better. | Web3 Car-Sharing Demo by ELOOP & peaq: With the success of this initiative showcasing the soundness of the underlying model, ELOOP is now building a Machine RWA tokenization platform on peaq to replicate this approach at scale 📈 DePIN Layer-1 Synergies 🧲 Existing and prospective DePINs can leverage the Machine Tokenization platform to lower the barrier to hardware adoption for their users, enabling all kinds of new DePIN use cases on peaq 🦾 A range of Web2 and Web3 projects are already exploring pilot projects on the platform, including Dabba Network 🟨, a connectivity DePIN working to deliver Web access to the unconnected. Already testing on krest 🔥 ELOOP is already testing the platform on krest, peaq’s canary network, and plans to launch it on the peaq mainnet, which will go live this year. “We’re excited to move beyond tokenizing Teslas and offer this exciting, proven model to businesses and communities. Machine RWA tokenization opens up a new era of fractional ownership and participation in the value generated by machines, and we are happy to be chartering this path forward with peaq.” - Nico Prugger, co-founder, ELOOP Read all about it:

Already testing on krest 🔥 ELOOP is already testing the platform on krest, peaq’s canary network, and plans to launch it on the peaq mainnet, which will go live this year. “We’re excited to move beyond tokenizing Teslas and offer this exciting, proven model to businesses and communities. Machine RWA tokenization opens up a new era of fractional ownership and participation in the value generated by machines, and we are happy to be chartering this path forward with peaq.” - Nico Prugger, co-founder, ELOOP Read all about it:

Today Tesla FSD unequivocally saved me and my fiancée from a major collision or worse. Green arrow to turn left and FSD starts to go then suddenly stops, I'm thinking why did you stop I hit the accelerator pedal, it breaks again at the same time a SUV barrels through the intersection running a red light. From my view In the car I never saw the vehicle. Had I been in any other vehicle and pressed the accelerator I have no doubt I would have been T- boned in my driver side door. This happens everyday and lives are lost. This technology saves lives. Thank you Tesla and Tesla_AI for keeping us safe anywhere we go. 2026 Model Y AWD on V14.3.6

14 dinners got me everything I ever wanted in this world. This is a love letter to everyone who came to a Family Meal in the last 12 months. You took a chance on someone who wasn’t the traditional fit for this community, walked into dinners blind (a hidden guest list and no guarantee of what you’d get out of it) and gave me the one thing in this world you can’t buy back: your time. Growing up I was drawn to lot of startup movies/shows (The Social Network, Silicon Valley) and all I ever wanted as someone 10,000 miles away from where all of that was happening, was to be in it. In the restaurant industry, family meal is a moment when bartenders, servers, cooks, dishwashers eat together and get to know each other outside of service. Too often as founders, researchers, investors, engineers, you’re expected to always have the right answers, be “impressive” and in a constant state of being “on.” In a world where everything is so transactional, Family Meal was created to take you off your proverbial line and give everyone a break from the performance. For 14 dinners I’ve kept Family Meals sponsor-free to keep the intention behind it all pure. I didn’t want homework from anyone to deliver insights, founders, or potential recruits on a platter. In our world, money is a commodity and protecting what makes these dinners feel genuine is a price I’d happily pay. I think it has served us well. And through this experiment I’ve found some of the most non-transactional, inspiring, and quietly brilliant people that put me in awe everyday. 14 dinners got me everything I ever wanted in this world, and it has been a great pleasure being your host. Season 2 starts in 2026. your host, alicia

For almost a year, I have been building a simpler and more dependable way for applications to respond to activity on Cardano. Today, I am incredibly proud to release OgmiosDotnet.BlockchainEvents v1.0.0. BlockchainEvents is an open source transaction filtering, pub sub and event delivery layer for Cardano. It connects to Ogmios, evaluates every transaction against completely customisable rules, and emits only the activity an application has chosen to receive as standard CloudEvents. The rule engine can be shaped around almost any requirement. An application or applications can listen for activity involving a particular address, asset, policy, smart contract, governance action, treasury withdrawal, metadata value or DEX transaction. Builders can also create entirely new rules around their own domain logic. A project can operate one BlockchainEvents instance and allow many different applications to subscribe to the specific Cardano events they care about. A wallet could subscribe to address activity. A governance platform could subscribe to proposals and votes. A DEX service could subscribe to swaps involving selected assets or contracts. The blockchain connection, transaction processing and event infrastructure are shared, while each application receives its own relevant stream of events. This can remove considerable duplication across a project, reduce infrastructure costs and give development teams one dependable event layer to build around. Consumers can be as simple as an HTTP endpoint. When a transaction satisfies a rule, BlockchainEvents transforms it into a CloudEvent and automatically posts it to the subscribed application. Events can also be consumed through gRPC and server sent events. This allows applications to use Cardano data exposed through Ogmios without installing an Ogmios SDK, tracking a particular SDK version, maintaining their own WebSocket connection or implementing the chain sync protocol themselves. Delivery is backed by a durable queue. When a consumer becomes unavailable, its events remain waiting. Once the application returns, delivery resumes automatically. Applications can restart, deploy or experience a temporary outage without immediately losing the Cardano activity produced while they were offline. It is also extremely fast. During a full local Docker stress test, the pipeline processed more than 1,100 transactions per second through the rule engine, CloudEvents transformation, pub sub and durable queue, with approximately one millisecond p99 processing latency and zero failed emissions. The entire stack can be deployed through Docker across cloud providers, infrastructure providers and self hosted environments, while the underlying queue and delivery architecture remains abstracted from the applications using it. This project was funded through Catalyst Fund 14 after receiving 197 million ADA in yes votes across 420 votes cast. I am deeply grateful to everybody who voted for the proposal, followed the development, tested the releases, shared feedback or supported both me and this project over the past year. A great deal of work has gone into reaching this point, and I am genuinely excited to see what Cardano builders create with it. Further technical details, reliability results and the Minswap implementation are included below. Repository: Release: The possibilities from here are endless, this brings industry standard event driven architecture right to Cardano.
