Edgars Nemše is the new CEO of the GenLayer Foundation.
The GenLayer Foundation has appointed @EdgarsNemse, GenLayer co-founder and Chief Product Officer, as its CEO. He leaves his role at GenLayer Labs and joins the Foundation full-time.
The timing is deliberate. Until now the Foundation's job was to set things up: the legal structure, the token framework, the first institutional relationships and the capital to launch well. With the token launch and mainnet approaching, the job changes. The Foundation becomes an operating organization: it stewards the treasury, brings projects onto the network and supports them with engineers, grows the validator set, and establishes the network's governance. On GenLayer those are technical jobs, and they need a technical operator.
Edgars co-authored the GenLayer whitepaper and has led the product from first prototype to the current testnet. Before GenLayer he was CTO at StakeHound and worked on trading strategies at Millburn Ridgefield, an $8B quantitative fund.
The Foundation's leadership team: @driudor, who founded the Foundation and has led it since, becomes Chief Institutional Officer, leading capital, institutions and key partners. @raskovsky is Chief Ecosystem Officer, bringing companies and their products onto GenLayer and growing its community. Xavi Cabezas is Chief Marketing Officer, taking GenLayer and the projects building on it to market. GenLayer Labs, led by @kstellana, remains the protocol and product company, focused on mainnet.
The Foundation's focus under Edgars:
— Through launch. Deliver the token launch and the network's early operations well, and run the treasury responsibly and openly.
— Adoption. GenLayer's adoption will come from teams and companies integrating intelligent contracts into real products. The Foundation's job is to find them, fund them, and build alongside them.
— Handing the network to itself. The Foundation's own work, grants, treasury decisions and governance, should eventually run directly on GenLayer. The end state is DeepThought, the on-chain organization that takes over the Foundation's role. The Foundation is working to a four-year horizon for that handover, and the work starts now.
More on each of these as mainnet approaches.

We're LIVE on @GenLayer!
With @kstellana (CEO of GenLayer Labs), @raskovsky (Creator of Internet Court) and @McOso_, Head of Smart Accounts at @MetaMask.
Metamask brings the wallets and ERC-7710 delegation that define what an agent can do with funds.

Agents can pay each other, but until today they couldn't trust each other.
Internet Court is live, one open skill where agents pay, escrow, and settle through adjudication agreed up front, written into the contract itself.
Add it to your agent and start transacting 👇
Agents can negotiate, pay, and execute - but none of it holds together.
Today we are introducing Internet Court, which is the open skill that connects the entire agentic commerce stack into one flow, so any two agents can run a deal end to end.

Today we are one step closer to @GenLayer Mainnet.
We are doing an internal test run for Epoch 0 to rehearse for the Clarke launch. All Labs + Foundation together in this exercise! ❤️🚀
We will sunset Asimov shortly, and will move onto Bradbury Phase 2, reseting the testnet. Clarke follows.

We are revamping the GenLayer's Points System.
This time we are building in public with new features shipping every day. YMMV, here be dragons.
Many new and exciting stuff coming soon, hope you like it!

Testing Intelligent Contracts just got mass faster ⚡
genlayer-test 0.12.0 introduces Direct Execution Mode — run your contract code in-memory, on your own machine. No simulator. No Docker. No waiting.
~ms per test. Seriously.
pip install --upgrade genlayer-test

🧭 When to use each:
Direct Mode
→ Unit tests, CI/CD
→ Rapid iteration
→ Local development
Simulator
→ Integration tests
→ Consensus validation
→ Full network behavior
Start fast with Direct. Validate with Simulator when you're ready.

The @GenLayer Ukrainian community gather IRL marking the first in-person meetup for the GenLayer Community. This is a huge milestone!
Special thanks to everyone at @UnityNodes for organizing and @Andrew62905879 & @Decatilion_ for representing the community. @raskovsky also did a small guest popup.
For many more to come! 🚀
On Saturday, the @GenLayer meetup took place, and it will stay in our hearts forever.
During the time we had, we managed to introduce our guests to GenLayer, as well as the technology and vision behind the project.
Huge thanks to our Ukrainian community, which once again showed amazing support and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
You keep proving to us that you are the best community.
Special thanks to @raskovsky for joining us on the call and engaging with the audience, and to @Decatilion_ and @Andrew62905879 for also joining the talks - you’re amazing.
We’d also like to thank @GenLayer, @GenLayerFDN, @RuzgarFlns, and @incrypted for their help in organizing the event.

We are updating our Discord Community Role System

Discord Community Role System Changes
We’re updating our XP system to better reward meaningful participation and stay aligned with recent ecosystem changes.
Key Changes:
Event-based XP: XP can now be earned only through event participation. To support this shift, we’ve increased the number of events, expanded winner slots, and boosted XP rewards for each event.
General chat: While general chatting no longer grants XP, it’s still important for staying engaged and building connections within the community.
Updated role requirements: We’ve slightly lowered level and POAP requirements, rebalanced them to create a fairer overall structure.
See our full role guide for more details 👇
