Using this agentic infra at @paradigm and @tempo has been life changing in a way that's hard to describe. Individuals aren't just individually more productive, they coalesce differently into a new kind of organization.
Georgios Konstantopoulos@gakonst

pretty incredible to see @patrickc casually mentioning to @sama the agentic infra we built in January for @tempo and @paradigm to transform how we work. we indeed use this to orchestrate pretty much anything at both companies. neither paradigm nor tempo can live without this now. it feels like the stone age without it. and because our organizations are so workflow heavy / data rich and we are <100 people, these are the perfect organizations to max deploy ai. it is natively multiplayer, harness agnostic, has secure secret management & firewalls, durable workflows, observable so it can self-improve/heal and most importantly - all self-hosted on bare metal & self-built, end to end. no third parties involved. we have two deploys, one for each company on different machines, but they both have a shared core codebase that's modular and extensible for each company's idiosyncracies. we're looking to do way more things with it. proactive agents remains an open problem for us. we hope to open source it very soon as i've mentioned a few times before. we're adding 1 special eng to that team, dm me + your proof of work if you're epic at infrastructure / security and love hacking things quickly.

ok hear me out imagine having one master wallet on ethereum L1 that generates a unique virtual address on each L2 - funds sent to any of those L2 addresses credit directly back to the master wallet on L1 IK this sounds dumb lol, not really technically possible rn bc there's no shared state transition function but could a shared sequencer that enforces routing rules across all chains simultaneously make this work ??
Uttam@uttam_singhk

wow this is actually huge for neobanks 100k customers used to mean 100k wallets to init, monitor, sweep - imagine that infra cost now it is just 1 wallet + offline derivation

Pretty cool example of crypto going mainstream: Meta is launching creator stablecoin payouts, built on @tempo and @link. Live in Colombia and Philippines; 160+ countries coming soon.
Tempo@tempo

Announced today: @Meta is adding support for stablecoin payouts to creators via @Link wallets, powered by @Stripe and settled on Tempo. Rolling out in Colombia and the Philippines, expanding to 160+ markets.

I think the next era of crypto research is going to look like a long steady grind of obvious-in-hindsight improvements, rather than a Manhattan project

@0xSky_Official You don’t have to sweep them into one address, they automatically get forwarded to it

@danrobinson How’s this different from derive multiple wallets from one mnemonic?

Need to fix the replication crisis in science. Crowd sourced voting on which papers to test and prediction markets on what will replicate offers a potential path.
ResearchHub Foundation@ResearchHubF

We just completed our first replication study on @ResearchHub. From preregistration → funding → experiment → results A full scientific lifecycle, run in the open, with community input. We also tested something new along the way: prediction markets for science. Here’s how it played out. 👇

@tszzl sorry, just to get some clarity, did 5.4 constantly refer to things as goblins and gremlins?

everyone is assuming this is some kind of quirk chungus marketing campaign but if you’ve worked with 5.4 and beyond they tend to call everything goblins, gremlins etc and it’s just super noticeable and if you work with them all day you start to get annoyed
roon@tszzl

@repligate @genalewislaw I think it becomes annoying when it mentions goblins ever single chat and it’s fair shakes to try and reduce that

Virtual addresses are the kind of chain feature that is only possible with a native token standard like TIP-20 If ERC-20s define their own implementations, there's no way for the chain to add features to all tokens (But each ERC-20 can adopt virtual addresses, and should!)
Tempo@tempo

Per-customer deposit addresses are live on Tempo. On most chains, giving every customer a unique deposit address means initializing, monitoring, and sweeping a real onchain wallet for each. With virtual addresses, funds credit directly to a master wallet at the protocol layer.

The bigger issue is actually that ERC-20 isn’t a native feature Even Arbitrum couldn’t add a feature to all ERC-20s on Arbitrum, because each one is a custom contract

@danrobinson gg although this works on tempo zones bc they're designed as L1 appendages, not sovereign chains ethereum L2s are sovereign + competing. nobody can mandate base/arb/op to adopt a virtual address auto-forward spec

Alex@0xDaedalus·
I am genuinely stoked for @tempo's new virtual addresses feature that they announced yesterday. I think this could be a real sleeper hit and I'm guessing that most people who don't have first-hand experience building on-chain don't realize it. In almost 8 years building in crypto I've had to solve the deposit-address problem at literally _every single company_ I've worked at. Every time its the same build out: Generate a unique address per customer Sweep funds back to a master wallet Manage gas in every leaf address Reconcile timing differences Handle the edge cases It's the kind of thing that sounds simple in a design doc and then can end up eating a quarter of your team's roadmap. It is _so cool_ to make this a protocol primitive - and totally obvious in hindsight. No sweeps, no per-address gas, no state bloat from millions of customer accounts sitting around with minuscule amounts of dust in them. This is another one of those things that - if you've built any kind of systems in payments before - seems like an absolute no-brainer, yet somehow we don't have any blockchains with virtual accounts as a first-class citizen yet (Solana's ATAs partially get there but you still need to pay rent per account). Bullish on how much friction this will remove for teams bringing AR / AP on chain and on more protocols bringing more "obvious" payments primitives on chain in general. Hat tip.

Tempo virtual addresses are an elegant solution to the deposit address problem. But I have some questions I'd love answered: Tempo must know the derivation scheme to resolve any virtual address back to a master wallet. That means someone has a complete map of every business ↔ customer payment relationship on the network. So:
