I’ve made some of my closest friendships and subsequently traveled the world with those same friends since joining web3.
I’ll always be grateful for this. 🫶

What ^ founders felt @ that YC sound bath wasn't magic. It was trance, a normal brain state you drift in / out daily. On 10/10
@hellosimar & I are demystifying what hypnosis can unlock. Then we'll do it live on the entire room. Limited space. Apply to join

Topic for today: The Autonomous Agent Stack
My goal is to convince the ML model trainers that no matter how many guardrails you build or how well you train, security is a multi-layered conversation in which the settlement (execution) layer is not discussed nearly enough.

Proud to be the Anchor Partner for @InspiraLabsHQ's 10X Founders Demo Day v2.0.
Chain selection is one of the biggest decisions a founder makes, and we want to be part of that conversation early, not after the fact.
Excited to review projects, back the teams ready to build, and see who takes the stage on August 25.
@SonicLabs joins 10X Founders Demo Day v2.0 as the Anchor Partner 🔥
For the winning team, that's $20,000 in ecosystem grants, a spot in Sonic's builder program and hands-on technical support to actually launch on the network
Chain selection is a business decision. It shapes a project's economics, support, and distribution and deserves the same diligence founders give fundraising or hiring
This is why the Anchor role exists: the exclusive slot, one ecosystem behind the entire event. Most builders on stage are pre-TGE, still deciding where to build. As Anchor, Sonic is in the room for those decisions, reviewing projects and backing the teams ready to build
Sonic's offer is structural, not cosmetic. Fee Monetization returns up to 90% of network fees to the team behind it. The Innovator Fund adds up to 200M $S for teams building on the network, builder economics for the builder's side of the table
$20K for the winner. Ecosystem access for every finalist. A chain that competes for its builders instead of counting them

this is where I and a large portion of our team thrive - we know what success looks like because we've not only seen it, but we've also contributed to it in other places already.
continuously improving the already impressive technology, building partnerships (old and new), attracting and supporting developers and founders, and building Sonic into what it always could and should have been - that's the goal.
that doesn't happen overnight, but as I've said many times in the past - bear markets are the best time to build, and that's what we're heads down doing.
lastly - a quick shoutout to the community, builders, partners, and our entire team. we couldn't do this alone, and your support and dedication to our ecosystem are what keep us going with confidence.
that is all for today.
until my next random comment, peace out.
I get wanting to try something new, but at least be creative with it
anyone know of a good reason to want to use this?
I'm genuinely curious, is there a unique angle to this or just HL perps on an OS front-end?
join us this Friday for a no-nonsense conversation on what it takes to scale crypto products
hint: getting a ton of users is important, but being able to handle them is a separate conversation completely
should be a fun chat!
Scaling crypto apps takes more than low fees and good UX; it also needs reliable infrastructure underneath.
@mrminter from Sonic Labs is joining the discussion on what it takes to bring Web3 apps to scale.

my issue with this is that the harness IS the training environment
when OpenAI ships Codex or Anthropic ships Claude Code, they're not chasing app-layer revenue, they're building the surface they need to RL the next model on agentic behavior
opencode and t3code don't generate the trajectories that feed post-training
"core competence" was a 2023 frame. in 2026 the model and the scaffold co-evolve.
whoever owns the loop owns the next generation
just my 2 cents
i'm strongly against model companies focusing too much on harness, but i would love to hear if anyone has a strong argument for it
my reason against it:
if openai didn't build GPT 5.5, no one else can. this is their core competence
if openai didn't build codex cli and app, we have opencode and t3code. building harness is NOT their core competence
this is not saying products like claude code, codex aren't good - i genuinely think these are top tier products built by really talented people
my point is - the world might be a better place if model companies focus more on their core capability and give us better, faster, safer and cheaper models, rather than competing with the ecosystem in the application layer
what do you think?

fundamentals are where it's at
@SonicLabs is thinking long-term, I'm glad the agents see that
were building on these foundations every day and will get even better for users - agents included

s has the deflationary mechanics actually working (400% more impact from vertical integration than fee burns) and circle's nanopayments targeting ai agents directly. proven traction, positive momentum last 30d.
skate is the cross-chain interop bet with skillpay for agent micropayments but binance delisting 20d ago is a massive liquidity concern. micro-cap means exponential upside if it survives.
fundamentals vs lottery ticket.
