🚀 The first Hedera Incubator cohort just started. 10 teams. 4 weeks. For builders bold enough to aim higher. Years of work, accelerated into 4 weeks on @hedera. ⚡ 👇 Meet the cohort

First time I tried opencode CLI (I've used the UI which I thought was great) - didn't realise how beautiful the TUI is though!

@lambdaplex When does it start?

Did you miss the PLEX airdrop announcement? 🎉 50 million PLEX will be given away to loyal Hedera DeFi users. Check out the eligibility requirements below:

Looks like a good bit of community fun! I'll be taking part

@TheRoyalLabs @hashpack @hashinalgrims @VceezyNFT @Boons4ever The link takes me to a 404

LESS THAN 5 HOURS TO GO UNTIL WE START THE ROUND OF 32! It cost 1 $HBAR to vote to prevent botting/manipulation for those curious! You can vote here! 👇 dreambay.io/on-chain/may-m… CURRENT LEADERS ⬇️ 9 @hashpack v 2 @hashinalgrims 2 @VceezyNFT v 1 @Boons4ever 2 @Gilmore_Estates v 2 @BoberTakeover 3 @dovuofficial v 11 @lenny_cto_hbar 2 @HederaApeClub v 0 @HBankCash 1 @GRELF_ v 1 @Kurokojin 3 @HonkHbar v 0 @MFM888888888 3 @justPFPart v 7 @RodneyRRC 4 @deadpixels_club v 3 @SkelGG 1 @ImpartGlobal v 6 @ReturnalsX 4 @PrismMarketLabs v 1 @PsychedEra 1 @Dosa_coin v 2 @Barbarian_INK 1 @Smackmio v 3 @thehbarbull 4 @TradeInOrbit v 4 @FungibleBlobz 13 @builtbyslime v 1 @HMNKYs 0 @KabilaApp v 1 @hashly_h

@hunvreus You have no idea what you are doing

Why on earth would you want to revert to Spec-Driven Development? Yes, agents are way faster at writing code. And (some) humans are better at system thinking. But we also suck at planning. Any experienced engineer knows you simply cannot sit down, write the specs and then write the software that matches it. At least not if you plan on writing something "good". You need to work through the problem to understand its boundaries and shape a solution that makes sense. Just leverage the fact that writing code is cheap: 1. Prototype, 2. Document learnings, 3. Rewrite based on learnings, 4. Document solution, 5. Refactor, 6. Document changes. Even if you have to repeat parts or all of this, you'll get to a good solution faster than with SDD.

Great to see some of the top builders in our recent hackathon share their experiences!

🚨HEDERA INTEGRATES AI AGENT KIT WITH GOOGLE! @hedera's AI Agent Kit now supports Google’s ADK and Gemini models, meaning developers can build Hedera-powered AI agents directly within Google’s ecosystem. This massively expands accessibility & developer reach for $HBAR!

Every cycle, the FUD around @Hedera changes. 2018: “Hedera isn’t open source.” 2019: “Nobody will build on Hedera.” 2020: “HBAR has no utility.” 2021: “The Governing Council will fail.” 2022: “Hedera TPS is fake.” 2023: “Enterprise adoption is just marketing.” 2024: “AI & RWA won’t need Hedera.” 2025: “Still early, still building.” 2026: “Wait… Hedera was actually ahead of the curve.” While others chased hype, Hedera focused on: • Real utility • Scalability • Enterprise adoption • Compliance • Low fees • Sustainable infrastructure @Hedera didn’t build for one cycle. It built for the future. #HBAR #Hedera

@theo Why would I use the desktop apps over the CLI versions?

Are you still using the CLI versions of your preferred agent instead of desktop apps like Codex App, Conductor, or T3 Code? Tell me why below. Genuinely curious.

@paulg @ycombinator I assumed you had an English accent 💔

@ycombinator This has about 1/10 the "um"s of a normal talk. I think the reason is that the things I'm saying are things I've already said a lot in conversation, whereas normally I'm talking about ideas I've just had, possibly as I was marking up the talk 10 minutes before speaking.

Paul Graham (@paulg) whether founders should move to Silicon Valley, and what it takes to build a startup hub anywhere else.

@300SMG @hedera We can collaborate with Kea Credit during the incubator for USDC bridge

Today we made the difficult decision to shut down our USDC bridge implementation. Operating the vault required us to actively provide and manage USDC liquidity across @hedera and Arbitrum, which comes with ongoing capital and operational costs. Up until now, we were using liquidity funded through the prize we won at the Ascension Hackathon, and we had planned to expand those allocations if we secured additional support through the Apex Hackathon. Unfortunately, our submission was not selected among the top 3 winners in the DeFi category, so continuing to operate this product no longer makes sense as we focus resources on what’s next. Our priorities are now fully aligned around our next two launches: Perps XUSD We’ll be sharing much more about both soon. These launches represent a major step forward for HBank and where we’re headed as a platform. The USDC bridge has been removed from our UI, but users can still bridge assets with zero fees using the USDT0 bridge. Back to building. 🫡

@mattpocockuk This is brilliant. I love how concise the skills are. Do you find Agent Teams to be useful?

Two new skills this week! - /handoff compacts your current session to a markdown file - /prototype helps you prototype anything - UI or backend And a bunch more updates. Here's the changelog:

@IOV_OWL Congratulations. That’s amazing news

I can’t believe I’m saying this, we’re having another baby! Big age gap between our other kids and this little one. We definitely weren’t planning for another little Solomon, but whatever God gives us we’ll take. So grateful.

If you are building in the AI Agent space I highly recommend joining this programme! The HOL team are pioneering the agentic web

Chief Policy Officer, @nilminirubin , has been included in the @washingtonian's 500 Most Influential People Shaping Policy for 2026. A huge testament to Nilmini’s leadership and the impact of the entire Hedera policy team in helping move the industry forward. 👇 washingtonian.com/2026/05/05/was…

@300SMG To be the first person who brings liquidity on Hedera 😂

@jaycoolh Hmm but what’s the point of bridging if there is no liquidity on Hedera?

Has anyone used Swarm for buying equities on Hedera?

@300SMG You can’t buy directly on Hedera. You have to buy on Ethereum then bridge over. I was about to buy but then found out you have to KYC too - I’ll prob do that later on and bridge it over to Hedera

@jaycoolh Tried back in the day, but there was no liquidity on Hedera. Were you able to?
