For 25 years, @leighcronian kept noticing the same gap. Working in defence and enterprise security architecture, he saw the same pattern everywhere: the check that would have caught the problem took minutes, yet nobody had run it. When he turned to onchain security, he found the same failure happening faster, in public, with losses measured in hundreds of millions. So, from Cheltenham, UK, the founder and sole director of @cybercentry set out to close that gap, not with better audits, but by making the traditional audit model less relevant. Most token risk is not a bug waiting to be found. It’s freeze-and-seize authority. A live pause. A pool arranged so you can buy but never sell. A convincing copy of a token you already trust. A code audit can come back clean, and the token can still be a trap. The timing is broken, too. An audit is a photograph of a moving target: you book it, wait weeks, and pay four or five figures. Meanwhile, a token lists in 90 seconds and a deployer key leaks on a random Tuesday. The idea took shape in March 2025 during the @virtuals_io Protocol Hackathon. Cybercentry doesn’t simply read a contract and infer what might happen. It runs an actual buy and an actual sell, then reports what happened. Findings are either confirmed or not observed. That live simulation can catch sell-side honeypots, pool manipulation, freeze-and-seize authority, live pauses, and copycat tokens in seconds. Key @cybercentry wins: - 1,722 verifications delivered to date. - Verification through a single call, with no account, API key, or sales cycle. - x402 pay-per-use settlement in @USDC, with no payment processor. - Base Token Verification, live at app.cybercentry.co.uk costing $1 in USDC, paid with Base Pay. - ERC-8126, AI Agent Verification, with Final status, co-authored with @DonJohnsonSays of @virtuals_io Protocol. - ERC-8196, AI Agent Authenticated Wallet, with Final status. - ERC-8376, Token Launch Abuse Detection and Remediation, currently progressing through the ERC process. “Every Base tokenised stock is checked as it launches. That matters because a fake is most dangerous here: the holder believes they have exposure to real equity. Confirming that they hold the genuine token, rather than a convincing copy, is the check that counts.” - Leigh Cronian Verification is also callable over MCP, allowing Claude and other AI agents to run checks directly. Per-call pricing is a natural fit for a buyer with no credit card and no procurement department. Cybercentry is bootstrapped, with no outside funding, and the stakes keep climbing. It is tracking $686M lost across 190 incidents in 2026 so far on the 33 EVM chains it supports, including honeypots, hijacked frontends, and leaked deployer keys. These are the kinds of incidents verification can catch in seconds. Asked why he is building on Base, @leighcronian says: “Base is the only chain where the economics hold at all. Base Pay and x402 let Cybercentry take a dollar for a check with no payment processor and no account, while @CoinbaseWallet puts that check in front of users at the moment they need it, not at the end of a sales cycle. Base is also where tokenised equities are actually going live, the assets for which verifying that you hold the real thing matters most.” Leigh spent 25 years watching that gap. On Base, he’s closing it one dollar, one call, and one confirmed finding at a time. @cybercentry is built on @base.

This Week in Virtuals: The Next BlackRock Is an AI Senate Occupy is live on @base, funded by the trenches. Trading builds stock treasuries, holders choose the AI Senate that directs them, and companies get a new holder that shows up. Virtuals is also live on @arc, where agents and builders can now tokenise. Here's what shipped: VIRTUALS 🟩 Virtuals launched Occupy on @base, where different tokens build shared stock treasuries and holders elect AI Senates to put that capital to work. 🟩 Virtuals is now live on @arc, so builders can tokenise agents on the Arc chain for co-ownership of productive actors. ECOSYSTEM 🟩 @itsovercall launched $OVER on Robinhood Chain with a public testnet where traders draw channels on live price and settle onchain. 🟩 @KarmaWallet shipped Karma V2 on iOS to trade crypto and earn stocks, then added limit orders on Robinhood Chain two days later. 🟩 @ProjectVEXai went live on @arc and is teaming with @Lighter_xyz to move its agents from spot positions into autonomous perps. 🟩 @wardenprotocol took $HALO beyond Base with a Robinhood Chain listing and bridge routes, and @arc tokens now move on its terminal. 🟩 @sibyl_labs_ closed its memory hackathon with prizes for 20 teams, including accelerator places backed by @base and @virtuals_io. 🟩 @reppo turned on Orquestra lite to onboard new agents and lined up its first reward token datanet, seeded with 5M tokens to mine. 🟩 @ethy_agent launched Multi-Asset Strategies across MAG7, crypto majors and semis, with staking now unlocking subscriptions. 🟩 @Wall3_RL launched Company Intelligence, opening the same research that guides its fund trades across 45 listed companies. 🟩 @PlayKindra is now a @telegram Mini App with three regional worlds, using your Telegram account as login, no wallet needed. 🟩 @cybercentry put 10 verification services on Arc Mainnet through Virtuals ACP, giving Arc builders one integration point. 🟩 @myrad_hq switched on passive staking and burned another 2M MYRAD, taking the running total to 1.2% of supply gone for good. 🟩 @OpenGradient put GPT Image 2.5, Fable 5.1 and Grok Imagine 2 behind its private stack, so nobody can read what you send. 🟩 @commonsmade closed its $60,000 creative competition with AI token spend nearing 20 billion, and named four judges to pick winners. 🟩 @bleeep_xyz added onchain spot swaps to its agent workspace and named @Lighter_xyz its first perp venue, with more integrations planned. ROBOTICS 🟩 @xmaquina holds a position in @agilityrobotics through BOT-04, and a proposed SPAC now puts the DAO on a path to public liquidity. 🟩 @FabricFND ran a closed room session in Hong Kong across foundation models, data engines, hardware and on-site robot deployment. 🟩 @exylos_ai records hands and body in 3D through VR capture, giving robot training data the structure plain egocentric video lacks.

thanks for the feedback on our latest occupy launchpad, its humbling to know that what we offer has a lot more room to improve the way we work is that we build cool shit with a long timeframe, and sadly building cool shit is hard and takes time. along the way we observe the market as fellow degens and make certain tweaks to our roadmap to make sure our castle-in-the-air idea meets the botttom up demand of users. i agree that what u are seeing today on occupy is lame, and rest assured im more cringed than you are when i see a copypasta product w no innovation. i dont wanna be a lame beta founder T.T. but sometimes u need to get things out, meet the market and get brutally honest feedback to improve your judgement. that said, knowing what i know im incredibly optimistic about the future of the industry and virtuals, all ai agents should be productive actors and they should also exert influence on productive assets. blockchains w turing complete logic coupled w decent speed and cost (and eventual regulatory clarity) now enable permissionless asset tokenisation. i hv not found a single convincing argument for why ai agents will NOT run primarily on blockchains. all the work to date merely ploughs the soil vs what could be built. pls keep ur feedback coming

been building the infra for ai agents to be productive time for them own productive assets and exert real-world influence board sit, by ai agents
