The thesis is clear: AI + ZK + tokenized assets = the rails institutional capital has been waiting for. Metis CCO @Norbeegh opens @HouseofZK to explain why that moment is now. July 22 · Toronto 🇨🇦 Register → luma.com/hozk_toronto

Institutions didn't ignore blockchain. They were waiting for it to be ready. @Norbeegh, CCO of @MetisFdn & @MetisL2, opens House of ZK with a keynote on why that moment is now — AI, ZK, and tokenized assets as the rails for institutional capital.

Everyone is talking about agent-to-agent payments. I agree the volume is growing. The rails are being built: x402, HTTP-native payments, MPP, stablecoin micropayments, agentic commerce protocols. But transaction count is the easiest metric to be fooled by. x402 crossing 100M transactions sounds huge. But when you look underneath, Chainalysis says a big part of the early spike came from meme-coin farming. PING alone generated 150K transactions in its first month through a pay-to-mint loop. One public x402 analytics page recently showed 1M transactions in 7 days with $281.7K volume, about $0.28 per transaction. That is real activity. It is useful infrastructure testing. But it is not automatically proof that autonomous agents are negotiating, deciding, and buying with real economic intent. Everyone should do their own research here. Who is paying? For what? Is it a useful agent workflow, a test loop, an incentive game, or a human-triggered script wearing an “agent” label? The capability data tells a similar story. Agents are getting much better. On WebArena, top public browser-agent systems are now around 71–74%, close to the old human baseline of 78%. On OSWorld, top computer-use agents are also near or above the original human baseline. But when you move into more consequential workplace tasks, the gap is still obvious. On TheAgentCompany benchmark, the latest checked leaders resolve around 41–43% of tasks. Impressive, yes. Reliable enough to call this the agent-to-agent economy? Not yet. So I don’t think the main bottleneck today is “can one agent pay another agent?” The bottleneck is still: can the agent understand human intent, take the right action in existing systems, handle permissions safely, and return verifiable results? For now, the main theme is not agents paying agents. It is agents representing humans. There are two kinds of builders in this cycle. One builds for the future: demos, narratives, future problems, maybe hoping a large company buys them. The other solves today’s messy problems, gets PMF, earns trust, and grows into the future. Which one do you choose?

91 teams apply for this bootcamp and we only have room for 12 in this cohort. Guys and girls, if you receive letter that say that you are not in this cohort, please don't take it as a rejection. Build further and we will get you in as soon as we have more capacity. Thank you!

Bear markets don’t just test conviction. They test whether you can still say what you believe when the narrative turns against you. Right now, crypto sentiment is low. Some builders even feel ashamed to be associated with crypto, or worry they’ll be called opportunists if they move into AI. Please don’t. If you believe in decentralization and the power of community consensus, keep going. You need persistence, but also the right methodology. Every time I reread @andrewchen’s The Cold Start Problem, I take away something new: start with the hard side, deliver real value, build the Atomic Network first, then expand. Still one of the clearest frameworks for builders. Thank you, Andrew.👊

The GOAT Network team is delighted to be co-organizing the OpenClaw Summer Builder Bootcamp 2026 alongside @ClawUpAI, @MetisL2, @LazAINetwork, @crypto_chicks, and @MindFuelca. Full details and application link below.

Introducing QuariAI. Over the last few years, our team has helped scale growth for startups across tech and Web3, reaching over 500K people and working across 12+ products. ✉️ contact@quariai.com 🔗 quariai.com 💬 DM us on X

Excited for this! Builders, come around.

Full house at our @openclaw hackathon in Toronto 🇨🇦 The demand for practical agent infrastructure is real.

@ElenaCryptoChic Happy Mother’s Day Elena❤️

Happy Mother's Day! ❤️🌿❤️

Season 2 of the User Journey Program continues this Monday with a live @ClawUpAI virtual workshop featuring Community Lead Norbert @Norbeegh , CTO Stephen @sd_eigen , and marketing manager Aria @qqqqqqq910731 . This is your chance to learn, build, and get hands on experience creating your own agent with ClawUp.org . Live on GOAT YouTube @GOAT_Rollup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@GOAT_Rollup Date: 20th April Time: 4 PM UTC The top agents built during the session will share $50 in rewards.

If you didn't know yet, we now have a platform where people launch their own AI agents that transact and pay via x402 on both @MetisL2 and @GOATNetwork. So, 🚀 multichain agents with the ability to pay in BTC native and ETH native coins without any bridges. This is something!

@InternxWeb23 @LazAINetwork @MetisL2 @InternxWeb23 kindly acknowledge

I appreciate the follow-up but That said, this situation should have ideally been resolved much earlier and the reward released as soon as the issue was raised. And given that several months have already passed, i still doubt the the pending rewards will actually be processed. At this point, I can only hope the team still takes this seriously. If the team values integrity and is committed to building on this space, then honoring valid contributions and releasing the promised rewards should be the right step.

WARNING TO CREATORS ⚠️ @LazAiNetwork incubated by @MetisL2 is a SCAM 🚨 I was one of their ambassadors and I completed all the required tasks. My work was even verified. But when it was time to pay ambassadors… they never paid. For months I tried to resolve this privately. • I Followed up in Discord multiple times • DMed their official accounts and some core members • I have reached out on their telegram No response. Even worse, when I tried to follow up on Telegram, their moderator "Norbert" blocked me instead of helping resolve the issue and was kicked on their official telegram. I still wait for a month and tried to see if they will resolve I gave them every chance to settle this quietly because I believed in the project at first. As creators we invest time, effort, and our reputation promoting projects. Being ignored and blocked after doing the work is unacceptable. Some other ambassadors have also said they never received anything. So I’m speaking up now to raise awareness. If @LazAiNetwork opens ambassador programs or creator campaigns in the future, be careful. Creators deserve to be respected and paid for their work #LAZAI IS SCAM ‼️ @LazAINetwork @Lazpadfun @CorruptedAlith @0xalith @iamblockchaindr @0xNanax @0xThiru #LazAINetwork

@InternxWeb23 @LazAINetwork @MetisL2 Your transaction hash. 0xbfbfbffe0581140c0a090da63aadc44faf3007650a9acc39ae658dbbaf6ef791

Daniel, I understand your concern and the frustration around the wait time. As mentioned earlier, I confirmed your eligibility and submitted your reward for the pending distribution. I’ve followed up again with the finance team to expedite the $100 payout so it can be processed with the remaining pending rewards. Again, apologies for the delay and the lack of clarity on the timeline earlier. Thank you for your patience while this is resolved.

it has already been several months since then, and there hasn’t been any clear update or communication regarding when that pending distribution would be processed. I’ve been patient about this and u know it because I respect the team and the program, but the long silence is what led me to raise the concern again.

AI Agents are the future — but they need real infrastructure to operate onchain. This Saturday in Shenzhen, we're co-hosting a hands-on hackathon with @GOATNetwork and @LazAINetwork where developers will build AI Agents with native payment (X402) and onchain identity (ERC-8004) capabilities. 4 hours. Real code. Real prizes. Let's build 🔨

This is exactly why we developed the Agent Standard: goat.network/blog/the-agent… Bitcoin is the only currency that meets every requirement of the Agent Standard. BitVM-based L2's are the only infrastructure that makes it trust-minimally usable at scale.

Running in-person hackathons around the world building AI economy on @MetisL2 @GOATNetwork. Stay tuned!
