Block Curio (Ratehopper)

I'm excited and very pleased to announce that I'll be partnering with the @RatehopperAI team on @virtuals_io through 2026 and beyond as they become the fifth team to join my @pantheonvaults creator index, which is set to launch early next week! I've known the Ratehopper team for over six months and watched them build to this point. They align perfectly with my own vision, and the vision I have for my creator index, which is long-term! They've built for many months prior to launching the $ROO token in recent weeks. Their product, which is the first agentic self-repaying loan protocol, has all of the potential in the world in my opinion! Give them a follow and stay tuned for more details on how you can gain exposure to their project via my creator index!

$ROO is now live on @virtuals_io! CA: 0xE31700c6BD46638D207991fB5CC5c0daD3D1e3DA

Back again for Virtuals Weekly Episode 102! ➥ The launchpad might not be busy right now but we'll always take quality over quantity. We'll be welcoming the A tier @RatehopperAI team to episode 102 and they'll be looking ahead to their launch which comes to @virtuals_io this Tuesday. Top ten in last years ETH 🤝 Virtuals hackathon, this is one not to be missed. ➥ With the Virtuals ecosystem starting to heat up again, we'll be asking whether this is the start of the next season? We'll also preview some of the projects we've got our eyes on. There are some teams primed to explode and we'll be pointing you in the right direction as always. ➥ We'll take a sneak peak at the Degen Arena and review the weeks predictions. If autonomous/agentic governance is part of the future for Virtuals, there might be some lessons we can learn from the Degen Arena AI Council! ➥ Lastly we'll take a look at some hidden alpha from @ethermage from Episode 100. We'll give our thoughts on how we could potentially position early! ↛. We go live at the below times.

The final verdict from @trueo_’s most contentious market has been delivered. The Jury voted for an outcome Reset. In other words, they ruled that it was too early to resolve the market. But there were some very interesting things about this dispute… For starters, both TRUE holders and Attesters voted against the Oracle Council’s initial decision. The Oracle Council voted 3-2 in favor of a YES outcome (I was among the YES voters). But TRUE holders and Attesters voted in supermajority support of the dispute. They deemed that the proposal came too early, and that Polymarket had not really released a “token” yet. Or did they? I personally voted YES as an oracle council member because I felt like the rules, though ambiguous, were satisfied as written when Polymarket released pUSD. I wasn’t happy about it, obviously it didn’t capture the essence of the market which was clearly meant to be about a potential network or governance token, but I voted YES nonetheless because I felt like the criteria in a literal sense was met when pUSD dropped. But TRUE holders and Attesters felt otherwise. They must have felt like the purpose of the market wasn’t satisfied even if the rules in a very rigid and literal sense were. I know the outcome might not be to everyone’s liking, and I know that some users would have preferred a YES outcome, but I do hope that they at least found some consolation in the process it self. Namely that the various arguments were aired, and that multiple desperate judgements came to pass on the dispute. In the future these contentious markets can be avoided with more precise resolution rules, but there is always some room for interpretation or some hidden ambiguity in the spectrum of possibilities. Getting these things right is very difficult, and ultimately, what I believe is more important than the outcome itself, is the process through which an outcome is derived. All this being said, there’s nothing stopping someone from proposing the same outcome again in hopes that TRUE holders have changed their minds, or that a different batch of Attesters gets selected who are more sympathetic to the resolution. Prediction markets are vey tricky specifically because of their subjective nature. But that’s also what makes them interesting! We still have much to improve on, and we learned a lot from this dispute, but hopefully we were able to prove that we take the concept of due process very seriously. Because at the end of the day, a prediction market is only as good as its oracle!
