Things I'm excited about this week
- ICO meta on Bittensor with @bitstarterAI positioning to be incubator + launchpad
- x402 bringing the attention back to Crypto AI
- x402 serving as the central payment rail designed for AI agents/apps
- Emergence of infra & toolkits around x402, establishing it as THE standard for agentic payments
- AI agents re-emergence led by @virtuals_io with full support by @base this time around
- AI & DeAI infra hitting commercialized stage (Chutes #1 on OpenRouter, Sportstensor as Polymarket liquidity layer)
- @mentatminds v2 enabling users to invest in bundles of subnets while Mentat Minds handles the allocation & rebalancing
- @openservai running Alpha Arena-style competition with prediction markets trading. No-code prediction related workflows/agents + aICM launchpad incoming + integrating with ERC-8004, positioning OpenServ as the home of agents
- @flock_io running Qwen v Qwen task to create the ultimate Qwen trading agent (off the back of Qwen's success from Alpha Arena)
- @zkPass (building the verifiable internet with zkTLS) on @KaitoAI launchpad this week with ~6 days left to pledge
- @megaeth_labs Public Sale happening this week (potential generational opportunity)
- @playAInetwork ("Zapier for Crypto AI") benefiting directly from the x402 micropayment rails. $PLAI dropping soon
- @almanak implied yield on YT-alUSD getting attractive as Morpho yields compressed
- @SynthdataCo launched its x402 integration, enabling agents to utilize Synth predictive intelligence. The team is moving really fast, recently scaling its prediction market MM activity to @trylimitless.
- Last week Novelty Search showcased how Synth is able to generate over $1.3M volume using minimal capital. Team currently market making ~3-5% of Polymarket's hourly crypto markets, the plan is to scale this 5-10x on Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, and Myriad.
Anything else exciting I missed?

Exciting stuff this week
- Re-emergence of trading agent narrative off the back of @the_nof1 Alpha Arena hype where frontier AI models trade against each other with real money
- @Cod3xOrg is really well-positioned for this as the team is gearing up for public launch that enables 1-click launch of trading agents on @HyperliquidX
- The virality of Alpha Arena also highlights how powerful competitions can be. Expected to see more Bittensor subnets & Darwinian AI players publicize their competitions, performance, leaderboards, and allow normal people (not dev/engineers) to participate in the competitions
- @SynthdataCo shows promising result on Polymarket trading strategy using Synth's price prediction. $3k principal, $5.5k profit, 184% ROI (3.9K% APY). Novelty search happening end of this week where the team will be sharing the progress + future product
- @aion5100's @futuredotfun upcoming War of Markets where people (yes.. anyone) compete in one of the biggest prediction market tournaments to win the prize pool. The team will be launching products for you to increase your edge. All this coming within Q4
- @openservai teases its roadmap of AI-operated team — using its infra to support founders with turnkey ops solution (what would otherwise take 5-10 people to run can be replaced by AI)
- Excited to learn that Ethereum Foundation's dAI team is getting more active in helping out AI builders and establishing Ethereum as the decentralized trust layer for AI agents/apps. Even cooler to learn that @13yearoldvc recently joined the dAI team
- AWS outage open half of the internet to the possibility of decentralized alternatives with 100% reliable uptime. Gonna be exciting to observe the potential growth of this segment e.g. ICP, Fluence, etc.
- Defi coins down pretty bad from the flash crash yet TVL remains quite close to recent high.
- X handle marketplace coming in pretty soon — could reignite the hype for digital real estate like ENS
