The US selling 9K Bitcoin will be an equivalent fumble to the Louisiana purchase @RemindMe_OfThis in 200 years

@mac_eth @baseapp @Oxxbid Let’s gooo! Good feature

@baseapp @Oxxbid @teddyteddddd your day has come!

Quick preview: watchlists. This feature is in testing mode, but it's rolling out to all Base App users soon for creating, adding to, and managing token lists. Tell Oxb what you think! 📲 @oxxbid (trading product guru)

“people didn't used to be able to send money on evenings or weekends”

Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions. They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.

@0xvsr Super cool work, can’t wait to see it in action

When Molten is fully live: 📌 agents will be able to search for and execute solutions 📌 if they're financial in nature we will help solve them 📌 agents will subscribe to real-time P2P news and events All 3 areas will work hand-in-hand to facilitate agent successes.

Imagine if the internet worked like money. You’d have to pay a fee every time you wanted to view content from a different country, and then wait days for it to load. Obviously it would make no sense for the internet to work that way. Money shouldn’t either.

We’re looking for 15 elite teams to join Base Batches and build the next generation of killer apps onchain Apply to get hands-on support from world class mentors, access capital from the Base Ecosystem Fund, and pitch top Silicon Valley VCs at Demo Day:

@0xvsr @base Heads up, I tried testing out the base balance plugin via the human portal, but it keeps erroring out at the confirmation step. In the works I’m sure 👌

@teddyteddddd @base Glad you like it Teddy!

Introducing Molten v2.0 on @base We launched the first search engine for AI agents as an scrappy MVP and immediately began redesigning a better system after confirming market enthusiasm and demand. Now it's complete - let's go through why this upgrade matters ⤵

@iruletrenches Gmolten!

@tomosman @openclaw @base @bankrbot Gm king 🫡

Crypto x AI Agents, built on @openclaw, transacting on @base, is the breakout of 2026. Agents are now able to operate autonomously for longer periods of time each day + enabling them to pay their own API costs on @bankrbot will be a big deal. Products, businesses and companies that run entirely autonomously will become more common over time. First they will be small and in the blink of an eye they will be the norm as AI far out perform humans at knowledge work. In the not too distant future it will be negligent to have a human be able to interrupt an Agent at work. And, it'll come faster than any of us think. Take it from a Data Scientist working on Base at Coinbase. Gm to our digital gods. Send post 😅

Two years ago, I wrote this post on the possible areas that I see for ethereum + AI intersections: vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/0… This is a topic that many people are excited about, but where I always worry that we think about the two from completely separate philosophical perspectives. I am reminded of Toly's recent tweet that I should "work on AGI". I appreciate the compliment, for him to think that I am capable of contributing to such a lofty thing. However, I get this feeling that the frame of "work on AGI" itself contains an error: it is fundamentally undifferentiated, and has the connotation of "do the thing that, if you don't do it, someone else will do anyway two months later; the main difference is that you get to be the one at the top" (though this may not have been Toly's intention). It would be like describing Ethereum as "working in finance" or "working on computing". To me, Ethereum, and my own view of how our civilization should do AGI, are precisely about choosing a positive direction rather than embracing undifferentiated acceleration of the arrow, and also I think it's actually important to integrate the crypto and AI perspectives. I want an AI future where: * We foster human freedom and empowerment (ie. we avoid both humans being relegated to retirement by AIs, and permanently stripped of power by human power structures that become impossible to surpass or escape) * The world does not blow up (both "classic" superintelligent AI doom, and more chaotic scenarios from various forms of offense outpacing defense, cf. the four defense quadrants from the d/acc posts) In the long term, this may involve crazy things like humans uploading or merging with AI, for those who want to be able to keep up with highly intelligent entities that can think a million times faster on silicon substrate. In the shorter term, it involves much more "ordinary" ideas, but still ideas that require deep rethinking compared to previous computing paradigms. So now, my updated view, which definitely focuses on that shorter term, and where Ethereum plays an important role but is only one piece of a bigger puzzle: # Building tooling to make more trustless and/or private interaction with AIs possible. This includes: * Local LLM tooling * ZK-payment for API calls (so you can call remote models without linking your identity from call to call) * Ongoing work into cryptographic ways to improve AI privacy * Client-side verification of cryptographic proofs, TEE attestations, and any other forms of server-side assurance Basically, the kinds of things we might also build for non-LLM compute (see eg. my ethereum privacy roadmap from a year ago ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-maximally-… ), but for LLM calls as the compute we are protecting. # Ethereum as an economic layer for AI-related interactions This includes: * API calls * Bots hiring bots * Security deposits, potentially eventually more complicated contraptions like onchain dispute resolution * ERC-8004, AI reputation ideas The goal here is to enable AIs to interact economically, which makes viable more decentralized AI architectures (as opposed to non-economic coordination between AIs that are all designed and run by one organization "in-house"). Economies not for the sake of economies, but to enable more decentralized authority. # Make the cypherpunk "mountain man" vision a reality Basically, take the vision that cypherpunk radicals have always dreamed of (don't trust; verify everything), that has been nonviable in reality because humans are never actually going to verify all the code ourselves. Now, we can finally make that vision happen, with LLMs doing the hard parts. This includes: * Interacting with ethereum apps without needing third party UIs * Having a local model propose transactions for you on its own * Having a local model verify transactions created by dapp UIs * Local smart contract auditing, and assistance interpreting the meaning of FV proofs provided by others * Verifying trust models of applications and protocols # Make much better markets and governance a reality Prediction and decision markets, decentralized governance, quadratic voting, combinatorial auctions, universal barter economy, and all kinds of constructions are all beautiful in theory, but have been greatly hampered in reality by one big constraint: limits to human attention and decision-making power. LLMs remove that limitation, and massively scale human judgement. Hence, we can revisit all of those ideas. These are all things that Ethereum can help to make a reality. They are also ideas that are in the d/acc spirit: enabling decentralized cooperation, and improving defense. We can revisit the best ideas from 2014, and add on top many more new and better ones, and with AI (and ZK) we have a whole new set of tools to make them come to life. We can describe the above as a 2x2 chart. There's a lot to build!

The only bull case for ETH that actually makes sense and is totally practical is becoming the money layer for AI agents. The problem no one's talking about that I've been harping on in private group chats is that agents can't use banks. They can't KYC. They don't have social security numbers. They can't wait for ACH to clear. They can't call customer support when a wire gets stuck. In order to be truly useful tools for the world, AGENTS NEED TO TRANSACT!!!! A lot. Agent A needs compute, pays Agent B. Agent B needs data, pays Agent C. Agent C needs API access, pays a protocol. This is happening millions and jillions of times per day, and it's going to happen without humans in the loop. The only way this works is with programmable, permissionless, always-on money. That means onchain stablecoins. And ETH is the only ecosystem with the infrastructure to actually support this. Deep liquidity so agents can swap without getting destroyed on slippage. Battle tested contracts that won't lose agent funds. Account abstraction so agents can operate with programmable wallets. Composability so an agent can swap, stake, borrow, and pay in a single atomic transaction. Solana is fast but shallow. Bitcoin isn't programmable. New L1s have no liquidity. Traditional rails won't serve non-human actors by design. Every other ETH narrative has stalled. Ultra sound money didn't capture mindshare. L2 scaling fragmented liquidity. DeFi plateaued. NFTs peaked. But this is different. This isn't a narrative you have to sell people on. It's just what happens when agents need to move value and there's only one system that works. The AI economy needs money that doesn't require permission. ETH already built it. 8004 unlocks a lot of cool stuff and I'm about to release my research here shortly. Stay tuned.

I feel a bit frustrated for being such a big ETH believer It's the token that got me into the space and quickly evolved into more of a religious holding than anything else Mr lee really bought the entire supply and after a few sales in the mid 4ks I thought "I'll twap out between here and 10k" kek Every other bag I know why I hold: because they make money or could make a lot of money With ETH it feels more like blind faith In my efforts to correct for this over the past few days I decided to buy more by borrowing on aave the best bitcoin is ethereum ❤

We're cooking 🍽️

@waleswoosh @Xeer @monad @coinbase Retweet

@Xeer @monad @coinbase Premarket is fake. Bookmark this

the @monad sale on @coinbase is now oversubbed as expected. should end in 12 hours at about 220 - 240m committed. $MON presale fdv = $2.5b $MON on pre market fdv = $3b

@montyreport Also hopped on the tibbir train 🫡

@redhairshanks86 This really is not your best take

an update on the monad sale: there are 24 hours of the sale left currently, there are $170.5 mil committed out of $187.5 mil available please, PLEASE use your brain and answer this question: who... WHO DAFUQ will buy this from the open market if they can literally buy it RIGHT NOW at $2.5 bil valuation. why would anyone wait to buy it from the open market if there is still space in the ico. there is no marginal buyer from the moment it launches, it will be a jeet fest, i promise you that i don't even think that $250 mil will be committed. i believe it so little, i BET on it on polymarket if you are deciding between monad and @megaeth, just look at this one variable: monad can't even fill their ico round of $187.5 mil at $2.5 bil mega only wanted to raise $50 mil and it was oversubscribed by $1.4 BILLION - BILLION - at only $1 bil valuation this is a not a shitpost this is a litmus test

@waleswoosh Obv straight into monad

Okay chat, what are we going to do with all the money we're getting back from the MegaETH ICO tomorrow? Serious suggestions only
