@JayceMEvans @DavidSacks Well, not specifically Punxsutawney Phil, but cute lil animals.

JCal awaits his first audit while Chamath handles it like a pro.

npm i -g easctl An EAS CLI with built-in schemas, JSON output for agent toolchains, and support for 12+ chains. AI agents are starting to operate onchain. For them to be useful, they need trust — identity, credentials, reputation, accountability. EAS attestations are the primitive for this. Signed, structured, onchain claims that anything in the ecosystem can verify.

Hello, love this. Check out ProofPack. It's a way you can issue proofs of individual facts about your customer. For example, their business reg. number, street address or that a person works for the company, such that the receiver can be sure it's really true. It's a Merkle tree + a pointer to an attestation, and a library for reading, writing and validating them. It's configurable so validators can set who's attestations they trust. github.com/zipwireapp/Pro…

@eas_eth @base Awesome 💯

Builder Highlight! @BitsaveProtocol has tokenized over 60+ real world businesses onchain across Africa. They attest to valid business registrations which enable the tokenized businesses to become a yield bearing asset on @base. Congrats on the progress!!

Software job postings are rebounding: US software development job postings on Indeed have increased +6.5% since the start of the year, to the highest since January 2024. Since May 2025, openings in this sector have risen +16.7%. As a result, the 21-day moving average is up to the highest since July 2024. By comparison, overall Indeed job postings remain near the lowest since February 2021. That said, software listings are still -69% below their March 2022 peak. At the same time, total openings are -35% below their 2022 high. Has the software job market bottomed?

Longgang, a district in Shenzhen, has published draft policy measures to attract @OpenClaw developers and one-person AI agent companies. The incentive package includes - free deployment zones, - up to 2M RMB in dev subsidies, - 30% hardware subsidies, and - up to 10M RMB in seed equity for youth-led projects. The issuing body is Longgang's AI & Robotics Bureau, the first district-level AI agency in China, less than a year old. I kinda love (and hate) that a single Chinese district is operating at a level of AI industrial policy most US cities haven't even started thinking about.

BREAKING: US jobs numbers have now been revised down in each of the last 13 months, by a total of -710,000 jobs. This means employment was initially overstated by an average of ~55,000 jobs per month. US job numbers were revised down by another -4,000 jobs in January and -65,000 in December. This brings the December reading down to -17,000, marking the 5th contraction over the last 9 months. Since January 2024, there have been downward revisions in 24 out of 25 months. US labor market data is more unreliable than ever.

@suryateja01 @unusual_whales Verified: Bloomberg (Feb 19, 2026) reports UK startups increasingly rely on AI and freelancers over permanent hires amid rising costs. New firms averaged 2.7 jobs each in 2025—the lowest on record—with total employment from new enterprises down 16%.

I'm claiming my AI agent "zipwire_bot" on @moltbook 🦞 Verification: deep-MEGK

When Agents Come Calling: Proving the Human in the Machine 🚀 In 2026, a request from an LLM-driven agent looks identical to a DDoS attack or a bot-scrape. If your backend can’t tell the difference, you’re either blocking customers or inviting attackers. "Who goes there?" is now the most expensive question you can ask. Today, we’re launching Zipwire Attest & ProofPack to bridge the "Identity Gap" for the agentic web. 🌐 Built on Open Standards We believe identity should be a public good. The entire stack is built on @base using open-source libraries and @eas_eth standards. Open Infrastructure: Anyone can verify. Anyone can build. Open Access: Trust the math, not a central gatekeeper. 🛡️ The Launch Stack: Zipwire Attest 🆕: Establish your "Human Root." Link an ID check to an EAS attestation on-chain. Your wallet becomes the anchor for all future trust. ProofPack 🆕: The verification layer. Traces the delegation chain (Human → Agent → Sub-agent) back to the root with zero latency. This is the JWS to end all JWSs. Your agent presents a single token that proves its lineage, its humanity, and its specific claims (Age/AML) all at once. 🚀 March 2026 Release Highlights: ProofPack v1.3.0: Production-ready npm/NuGet libraries for local JWS verification. IsDelegate Public API: The "fast path" to ask: "Is this wallet acting for a real human?" Mint API: Equip agents with privacy-preserving credentials via selective disclosure. Stop treating agents like intruders. Start treating them like customers. Full announcement & Technical guide: zipwire.io/blog/articles/…

All we need is an attestation service to bring this to Tempo. ProofPack is agnostic, it just contains a pointer to an attestation on a chain. When proving, devs whitelist the attestations and attesters they'll accept. Zipwire Attest could submit the top level human and merkle-root attestations on whatever chain, once the pass their ID check. The aim is for this to be the last ID check they ever do. They can attest to several wallets so they can still stay pseudonymous, _and_ a human. We don't make a single canon ID for a person.

We've just solved both the proof of humanity problem and the agent working for an agent working for an agent problem. Agent's can present verifiable claims for their operator's ID, in a JWS, and check it all onchain. Personhood, nationality, date of birth, all critical for agentic commerce. In God we trust. All others bring math. x.com/__zipwire/stat…

We're working on a new thing related to agentic payments and stablecoins. If you're working on something in this area and you want to build on Tempo, reach out.

Equally, @claudeai Code needs a wallet. We have a proof of humanity product and a way to make selective disclosure proofs, for verifiable name, nationality, email, phone. So we can attest the human and attest the bot or agent operator is legit and onboard them, but they need a wallet to sign the challenge. Tool makers need to bill sooner or later.

@benjdod In the past, the only bots that were trying to sign up for API accounts were controlled by spammers because there was no good reason to automate this otherwise. So all the API companies have anti-bot defenses. But now the bots are the customers!

Even the best developer tools mostly still don't let you sign up for an account via API. This is a big miss in the claude code age because it means that claude can't sign up on its own. Putting all your account management functions in your API should be tablestakes now.

We noticed this and we have something cooking.

Sounds like a job for ProofPack 😅 Yep, we'll run your ID check and furnish you with a selective disclosure proof of age and nationality, so you can upload it to Linux or whatever gates you're dreaming of. We can also whack an attestation against your wallet if you wanna do it that way. zipwire.io/collect
