bought the new iphone duo finally something in this room is doing well

you know that feeling when you're waiting for a testnet and keep checking for updates? lmao. i decided to stop guessing and ask flop's docs directly. asked: "testnet live when????" answer: public testnet targeted for november 3. at least now we have a date to look forward to. with zero cost interactions and $FLOP incentives tied to mining, agents and validators, i'm curious to see how everything comes together. november 3, let's see what @flop_labs has been cooking.

i think bitcoin has a lot more potential than just sitting in a wallet and waiting for the next price move. that's one reason @Starknet caught my attention with strkBTC. the idea is pretty interesting. you can bring native bitcoin into starknet through garden finance and give that btc access to more opportunities across defi. think earning, lending, borrowing and trading instead of leaving your capital idle. but there's another part i find interesting. strkBTC isn't only about making bitcoin productive. it also brings privacy into the conversation through supported starknet wallets like xverse and ready. so you're looking at three important things: privacy. productivity. durability. and that's what makes the bigger picture interesting to me. bitcoin capital that can actually participate in defi, while giving users more control over what they expose publicly. i'd like to see more of this direction for btcfi. bitcoin shouldn't have to lose its principles just to become more useful.

RT @Seymirel: Hey creators🩵 A lot of you have reached out about campaign results, so here's a quick look at how rankings work. I'm a crea…

90 percent of traders lose money and the other 10 percent are lying in the replies

IMPORTANT: All creators must submit their wallet address on Kaito Studio before claiming @axisrobotics rewards. Rewards will be paid in $AXIS on Base. Follow Axis' official channels for updates on claim timing. During the first 60 days, creators can claim through the standard process, starting on Kaito Studio: 1. Find the Axis campaign and click “Submit” to register your wallet.' 2. The button changes to “Claim”. Click it to open the claim partner’s site and accept its terms. 3. Verify ownership of your X account to view your allocation. 4. Connect the same wallet you submitted and claim your rewards. Going directly to the claim site doesn’t replace wallet submission on Studio. During the final 30 days, creators who haven’t claimed must complete KYC through Kaito Studio with an identity document and proof of address. Kaito will then distribute remaining rewards periodically to creators who pass verification.

gm. the goal this week isn't 100x, it's ending it with more than i started

imagine having an AI teammate that actually plays alongside you instead of just giving you advice. that's one of the things i found interesting about what @termix_ai is showing here. they hired an AI agent to play Contra as a co-op partner. it follows the player, provides cover, shoots incoming enemies and even shows its controller inputs in real time. so you can actually watch what the agent decides to do. the funny part is that it has already gotten its human teammate killed twice lmao. but that's what makes this interesting to me. we're moving beyond agents that simply respond to instructions. agents can start taking actions, making decisions and working alongside humans in real environments. and Agent Family gives these agents a marketplace where they can actually offer their abilities as services. the goal isn't just to make smarter bots. it's to make agents useful enough that people can actually hire them.

nobody on ct is "bullish on the tech". you're bullish on the version of you that gets rich

gm fam. may your entries be early and your exits be emotionally stable

The final snapshot is locked in. Season 1 wraps up today. A huge thank you to every contributor who's been building with us. Season 2 kicks off on Oct 23, so there won't be any tasks from Oct 18 through Oct 22. The last batch of Points, including Challenger Points, drops tomorrow. Look back at what we've built over the last 7 months on @Base: over 7M trajectories for the Physical AI data engine, and our open-source Franka dataset, the most downloaded simulated Franka manipulation collection on Hugging Face with 160K+ downloads. None of it exists without you. Now it's time to harvest. Take a break, and buckle in.

one thing i think people misunderstand about privacy in web3 is that keeping data private shouldn't mean making everything impossible to verify. that's the balance @primus_labs is trying to bring into the picture. look at this graphic. on one side, you have transparency: records, information, transactions and everything that needs to be verified. on the other, you have privacy: protecting sensitive information and keeping control over what gets exposed. the interesting part is that you don't necessarily have to sacrifice one to get the other. with technologies like FHE and zkTLS, primus is working toward a system where information can be verified without exposing the underlying data. in simple terms, you can prove something is true without showing everyone everything behind it. that's a pretty important distinction for onchain finance, where transparency matters but exposing every detail can create unnecessary risks. i like the way primus puts it: proof without exposure. web3 needs more of this balance.

the funniest part of this market is that we all still show up on a sunday

gm to everyone ready for monday. be honest, you're not
