@KosmaOS @SomaOS_ always great catching up brother!

Consensus Miami was great After five years of observing the crypto space, it is still one of my favorite events to attend Great people as always and a strong reminder of where the industry is heading Back to Palo Alto now Big week ahead for @SomaOS_ and the team.

As we open the ecosystem around SomaOS, I wanted to share what comes next and reflect on our journey so far. We started building shortly after the release of OpenClaw because our team understood how pivotal this moment would become. The market was finally beginning to understand what agents could do, and what they could become. For those of us who have worked inside large companies, the opportunity felt obvious. Most businesses do not need AI to replace the whole organization overnight. They need systems that can reliably take work off people’s plates; handling repetitive coordination, keeping context moving between teams, following up on loose ends, and helping work get done without adding more overhead. That is where we saw the opening. SomaOS was built to bring agents into real company workflows in a way businesses can actually trust. The last 6 months have been about building the foundation. Our roadmap:

@SomaOS_ One of the strongest teams in the space when it comes to real enterprise experience Excited to be part of the journey!

SomaOS has raised a $1.5M seed round AI agents are moving from experiments into the enterprise We are building the infrastructure that helps companies turn agents into real workers, with control, permissions, approvals, and visibility built in Thank you to our partners and early believers

If Hal Finney were reanimated and someone told him how stablecoins worked, I don't think his reaction would be: "wait, you're telling me this non-KYC, instantly transferable, cryptographically custodied, P2P-accessible US dollar has... a freeze function? Oh. So we failed."

Hey friends, as you know, I left Apple six months ago to build enterprise AI agents. The more I looked at the space, the more obvious the gap became Companies are about to have AI agents doing real work Not just answering questions →Checking systems →Drafting emails →Updating records →Finding problems →Preparing decisions →Moving work forward That only works if agents are managed That is why @SomaOS is here

Big announcement soon👀

I've known Trystan for years and I've never seen him so passionate about anything before. I know he will lead the great Enterprise AI takeover Big announcement soon!

Hello Consensus We just touched down in Miami SomaOS is building the operating system for the new agentic workforce See you May 6th

.@Collision is bullish on two types of people: high-agency individuals and double majors. "There are two categories of people I would be super bullish on right now and I think will do incredibly well over the next 10-20 years. First, high-agency people. The people at Stripe who have been talking to customers and know exactly what we should do. It's the people who have that pep in their step and want to go make Stripe better. They are so much more empowered thanks to AI." "The second is double majors. I think if you understand software and understand finance, or if you understand software and understand marketing, you now can go massively improve the entire marketing funnel for your company. Now, one person can do what would have taken 20 people dredging through all these systems." "Charlie Munger talked about the importance of being multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary thinking. He thinks getting a functional understanding of many disciplines is not that hard. You can just go read the books now or you can talk to your AI about it. I think multidisciplinary thinkers are going to do incredibly well."

The best businesses are built of belief.

Why credit cards can't power the agent economy, and what will. At the @USC VanEck Southern California Blockchain Conference, our Co-founder & CEO @ChiZhangData broke down why existing payment infrastructure fails when AI agents transact: ▷ Privacy risk: Agents need your CVV, name, and card number with zero accountability. ▷ Fraud triggers: Automated browser clicks get flagged by Visa/Chase algorithms instantly. ▷ No agent identity: Agents can't sign up or sign in. Humans must intervene every time. The fix? Stablecoin-native rails with smart contract delegation. Giving agents a specific amount, a specific purpose, and a specific time window. Not your whole wallet. This is what Kite is building.

The criminals didn't need to hack anything. They bought a list from someone inside the government. France is the most dangerous country in the world right now if you hold crypto and someone knows about it 💀 Source: Le Mond
