7:43 PM. Slack goes red. "Your Solana validator has been removed from the Foundation Delegation Program." No warning. No explanation. Just gone. $3.8M in stake. 48 hours before it walks. We didn't panic. We had something most validators don't.
The big opportunity right now if you’re building AI agents is to bridge the AI capability overhang with the customer’s actual workflows and business processes. The models will continue to get far better, which enables more and more to be automated. but to take advantage of this, most enterprises will need some form of applied solution for making agents effective for them. The reason coding agents have taken off is that they work within the tools and workflows that engineers are used to. This is going to apply to most categories of knowledge work. AI agents are only as effective as the data they have access to, the tools they can use, the context they get for the process, and how they’re invoked in a workflow. The play for anyone building AI agents is to get *very* good at a particular domain (a vertical, job function, or process) and build out the full set of capabilities necessary to make agents successful in that space.
We made the list. Flipside was named one of the Top 50 Data & Analytics Teams in the world by the @OnConferences Icon Awards, alongside teams from Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. 🏆 A small crypto team standing next to giants. Feels good. 📊 onconferences.com/25-team-winner…
The two sides of vibe coding: 1️⃣ Vibecoding is a product v0, Lovable, Bolt. Lots of demand for bespoke app, site, agent development with natural language. 2️⃣ Vibecoding is a feature Data is already systems of record (Salesforce, Snowflake, SAP). Bring the vibes to the data. I think the opportunity around 2️⃣ is under-explored. Further, it’s very likely there’ll be vertical-specific and constrained flavors of vibe-coding. This is where can Vercel help. In two flavors. You can use @v0’s API to integrate its capabilities and agent into any app. Check out the example below. If you need something more advanced, you can use our AI Cloud and access the building blocks: AI Gateway, Sandbox, Fluid, etc. We shipped an “open-source, DIY v0” in oss-vibe-coding-platform.vercel.app. tl;DR: time to lock in and ship
.@griffaindotcom or @sendaifun but for reading and analyzing solana data. Who is building this? Basically agents that make @flipsidecrypto or @Dune charts and analyze existing ones. Submit a demo to @colosseum for a shot at funding.
