This is one of the clearest articulations of the agent economy’s missing primitive I’ve seen. Neither TradFi nor crypto gives machines a way to prove authorization, real-time solvency, and intent consistency before capital moves.

Just tell your agent to integrate with Primus skills, in plain English.

@primus_labs Proof before settlement isn’t optional it’s table stakes

AI agents can act. But can they prove it? We’re building the missing verification layer for #AI agent commerce. 🔥 This is Veritas. Full article:

@xxiang_xie Agreed! AI agents are moving from chatbots to real economic actors, but w/o verifiable execution they’ll never safely handle value flows (especially in ERC-8183 commerce + escrow). capable runtime + seamless commerce primitives + robust verification layers like Veritas

Had the chance to get insights from early believers in decentralized ai.

Excited to head to hk for consensus! Always a pleasure to speak at @consensus_hk !

@UnifaiNetwork 😂😂😂😂😂

Bullish!!!!

@SPLehman Another archetype: Fund D: says they’re hiring, doesn’t really know if they actually want to hire or who they want or need. Take a first call, over sells, then ghosts and never responds.

One of my biggest learnings from VC recruiting was that the way a fund handles the hiring process is a great indicator of how they treat founders. I found this to be extremely valuable data when I was deciding the type of investing I wanted to be doing. Sharing examples to illustrate: Fund A - Overloaded me with 8 1hr calls across 7 days, work trial + memo exercise, etc. Super flattering through the whole process then came in with a total lowball offer at the end. Founders probably know this experience all too well… Fund B - Totally unstructured process, no one knows what the next step is or who I’m supposed to talk to. No one has read my materials in advance of meetings. Have the same convo 5 times because no internal info is being shared between calls. Fund C - Had maintained a relationship with me over 2 years so when it came time to get serious, extremely tight process managed by talent team (h/t @NickZurick1). Timeline and priorities are clear, partners come in prepared to meetings and ask thoughtful questions. Good faith and transparent negotiations at finish line. No surprise who I ended up joining and that our investment process mirrors my experience in recruiting 🙃 Final thoughts here - everyone talks about VC recruiting being a largely opaque process. This is true. Most ppl who have gone through it don’t want to reveal much bc relationship preservation or they like keeping this industry walled off to outsiders. I think that’s dumb so making an effort to share more from my experiences doing the dance twice now.

@UnifaiNetwork Congrats on the launch!

@davidesilverman Congrats!

Just a little life update

@bitgetglobal @0G_Foundation What I do not understand is. Continuing after 0G’s objection is shameful. You continue to push the airdrops and market the campaign, and continue to market new ones. #BitgetScam How can we ever recommend bitget to any one of our portcos?

Hi team, regarding the current disputes, we would like to offer some clarification: 1. We believe there was a miscommunication in earlier discussions. On September 19, the Bitget team shared a marketing plan that included an airdrop campaign where users could lock BGB and 0G tokens in the staking pool. There was no explicit objection, only a note that it should be a staking campaign. We understood this as a wording difference, and since Launchpool is essentially a form of staking, we proceeded with the planned launch. The Launchpool announcement was also shared with the 0G team before going live, and no feedback was given to suggest the campaign should not proceed. 2. We believe both sides share the same goal of rewarding the community. From user feedback, the 0G Launchpool was one of the most successful on Bitget, with APR ranging from 215% to 1953%. Over 30,000 participants not only learned about the project but also earned substantial returns, and the community shared plenty of positive feedback. With our users, we always uphold a user-first principle. With our partners, we adhere to integrity, honesty, and open communication. We hope this response helps clarify the misunderstanding and look forward to working with more projects to drive healthy growth in the crypto industry.

At 0G, we are deeply grateful to our 23 exchange partners who supported our launch on Day 1. Their contributions and partnership have been invaluable, and we remain committed to building long-term, win-win collaborations with our ecosystem partners. Unfortunately, we must address a serious issue with one partner — Bitget. This is not a statement we wanted to make, but after exhausting private channels and multiple attempts to resolve the situation, we feel it is our responsibility to bring transparency to the community. Web3 cannot mature into the foundation of a new financial system if it is built on broken promises. Integrity and accountability must be the standard, not the exception. What Happened -> Since July, we have been in active discussions with Bitget regarding a large, long-term staking campaign (90 days or longer). -> On September 15, both parties confirmed mutual understanding of this position. -> On September 18, we finalized the contract, which clearly outlined the staking allocation, with a structured breakdown of campaign design and APY. Bitget approved these final terms and confirmed readiness to proceed. However, despite multiple follow-ups and requests, Bitget continues to fail to fulfill the promises they made to sign. However, to date, the contract has only been signed by our director. -> On September 20, less than 48 hours before token launch, Bitget sent over a marketing document that included an airdrop — directly contradicting both the agreed-upon terms and the unsigned agreement. The 0G team immediately responded, making it clear in writing that the information was incorrect and re-sharing the detailed 90-day staking token allocation breakdown to avoid any ambiguity. -> Despite our objections, Bitget ignored our response and unilaterally launched a Launchpool and airdrop campaign using the allocated tokens, in violation of the originally agreement. What was supposed to be a 90-day staking campaign was reduced to a 3-day Launchpool — undermining the spirit and integrity of the original design. Why This Matters This is not just about one campaign — it strikes at the foundation of Web3. 1. Breach of trust: If agreements can be ignored, partnerships across the ecosystem lose their meaning. 2. Community harm: Misusing tokens for unapproved campaigns confuses and misleads users, damaging confidence. 3. Industry standards: Web3 cannot mature on broken promises. Integrity and accountability must be the baseline, not the exception. Our Response Given the seriousness of this violation, we are taking the following actions: 1. Legal action: Our counsel, Fenwick & West, has issued a legal demand letter to Bitget. 2. Industry call to action: We are asking our investors and partners — including Alliance, Orange, Hack, Delphi, Bankless, Stanford Blockchain Association, Foresight, NLH, Mirana, Dao5, Dispersion, and others — to pause sending projects to Bitget until this issue is resolved. 3. Note for ecosystem partners: Bitget has shown that agreements can be broken, and we urge projects to be vigilant in protecting their eegament and commitments. Our Requests to Bitget To restore trust and accountability, we request Bitget to: 1. Immediately cease any promotions of unapproved airdrop and launch pool campaigns using our name or tokens. 2. Buy back the entire amount of 0G tokens that were diverted to the airdrop/Launchpool campaigns and either redeploy them strictly according to the original staking agreement or provide equivalent cash value. 3. Commit to ending these practices with other projects and demonstrate adherence to future agreements. Closing We did not want to escalate this matter, but integrity and trust are non-negotiable for 0G. We hope this transparency helps the industry move forward with higher standards, and we remain committed to building Web3 on a foundation of fairness, accountability, and collaboration. Thank you for your support and understanding.

@bitgetglobal @0G_Foundation The contract in the screenshot shows 3.4M for staking, 25K deposits, 10K trading, 10K Learn to Earn, 5K marketing there isnt any sign of 1M airdrop! Yet Bitget pushed it. Unacceptable! #0G The worst part is you are pitching this as a success to other prospective companies.

@0G_Foundation This is the worst an exchange can do. Bitget betraying 0G’s trust with an unauthorized campaign destroys the Web3 ecosystem. It hurts exchanges, retail, & investors. Not the 1st time. projects should ditch Bitget. #Web3

This is only day 1 and the hard work is just beginning. As you know 0G aligns with our thesis: scalable, user-owned AI ecosystems, echoed by @KiteAI’s last week. Congrats 0G team, community, and builders for making decentralized AI a reality. #0GDay #DecentralizedAI

As pre-seed investors at @DispersionVC , we’re thrilled to celebrate @0G_labs’ Day 1 achieving testnet-to-mainnet in 1.5 years, landing 4/5 papers in top AI conferences, and earning Forbes praise for a 10x faster, 95% cheaper training breakthrough.
