We are increasingly rediscovering the value of in person connection; the trust signal that meeting someone irl provides remains unmatched.
As this trend progresses, the Bonfires protocol will continue to innovate.
Hello graphs my old friend, it seems the cool kids did indeed throw you out too soon.
This is f*cking insane. Anthropic Research Lead:
"Prompting is basically over
99% of our engineers already run swarms of 300+ self-improving agents. Now everyone is moving to graphs"
In just 20 minutes, she shows how graph engineering turns isolated agents into a system that improves itself
One Agent → Loops → Plan Mode → Graphs → Self-Improving System
Prompting was the old workflow. The graph around the model is the new one
Worth more than most $1,000 agent engineering courses

if you think coming to London is too expensive, i've got a video dropping later this week breaking this myth.
see you all at Breakpoint London 2026.

Today we’re launching @indexnetwork_
It’s been exciting to watch already. The first 100 people in are hiring founding engineers, raising seed rounds, writing speculative fiction. One said accepting an intro “feels like the early magic of the internet.”
Try it for yourself: index.network/l/088436b1-baf…
The premise: With Index, personal agents can coordinate with each other and thus introduce the right people to their users. They do this by negotiating on their principals’ mutual intents, replacing the need for us to broadcast on platforms and scroll endless feeds.
In practice: You log what you're looking for (“signals”) by talking to your agent, it negotiates on fit with the others, and comes back to you with proposed intros for you to accept or pass on. It learns from each turn to surface more relevant people for you.
As founders, but also just as internet nerds - we feel the expectation to be constantly visible. It can be empowering but also tiring, especially when there’s little certainty in how algorithms will route the right people to see your post. On the market level, economists call this search friction: the idea that many deals are never made because it costs too much to find each other. We call it the right person, wrong time.
So that’s why we’re building Index - we’re keen to see what happens when we take social discovery out of the feeds. It’s possible now because of agents. They can help carry the burden of searching, shouting, negotiating, and coordinating in service of finding your others - and we’re so excited to see how this works in the wild.
We’re building this for a world where you can trust that the right person is not out there, but right around the corner. In fact, we even made a short film about it.

I'm not sure how they came by the name, but it's much smarter than any other AI I've conversed with. I like that it has a memory of my contributions, and responds with concrete commit points, therefore it can hold a record of my work, and can build actual protocols.
Check out our product demo and @colosseum submission!
Our @colosseum hackathon submission: @bonfiresai
Coordinate your team, your context and your agents with one platform.
We're just getting started, see you in November @solana Breakpoint BP26
big thanks to @CapinUK, @SuperteamUK 🔥

Governance is often treated as overhead until something breaks.
If we want it to receive serious attention and investment, we need to become better at explaining what risk it prevents, what value it protects, and what better governance actually changes.

Your AI remembers you, but whose AI remembers the group?
Every assistant now has memory - and it's personal by design. Your questions, your context, your history, sitting in a vendor's product under your login. The best answer anyone on your team got this month is trapped in a chat only they can scroll.
But what if the question is asked once, then the whole group has it. Where the answer has a source you can check, and the record is what everyone challenges - instead of each other's memory.
The question was never whether AI remembers. It's who the memory belongs to.

Dev3pack and Bonfires are back for our second collaboration, this time even bigger!
- Student knowledge base
- Hackathon judging
- Accelerator team tooling
Keeping humans in the loop and agents in the know 🫡
Dev3pack x Bonfires 🔥
We’re partnering with @bonfiresai to bring AI infrastructure to our upcoming @solana activations.
They are helping us make the experience smarter for teachers, builders and judges, by providing live context, agents, and shared memory.
300 people, three days, four venues spread around Boulder, Colorado.
One shared memory: a Bonfire
At ETHBoulder @ethereumboulder, hosted by the Regen Hub, Bonfires ran as an agentic concierge: a simple agent on Telegram, integrated with the ETHBoulder app, helping attendees self-guide around the venues and find the talks and events they wanted.
Attendees were encouraged to record sessions, ask questions, share their thoughts or concerns, basically anything with the agent. It was also listening to the group chat.
Every interaction was collated into a shared context graph, allowing for collective sensemaking across space and time in those three days.
The two-way street: organisers could understand the experience of attendees more deeply, giving them a reliable point of truth when assessing outcomes and producing materials afterwards.
The highlight was the Vibeathon. AG, one of the organisers, created Bonfires Forge: an agent that periodically scraped the shared graph and extracted potential projects from the context. Each was displayed with a product spec, ready for the Vibe Coders at the hackathon to immediately point their agents at and build.
The conference generated its own hackathon brief, from its own conversations.
Watch the Forge run: youtube.com/watch?v=TETUeEPs… Full recap: paragraph.com/@joshuab/ethbo…
If you could ask the last conference you attended one question, what would it be?
What's the difference between a membership and a community?
Month one of a co-working space people wear headphones. The events are attended politely. Everyone describes their startup with the elevator pitch. The Slack has eleven channels and no messages.
Month six, if it worked: the meeting room has a nickname. Two companies share an intern nobody remembers hiring. There's a rule about the sales-call guy that isn't written anywhere and is never broken. Somebody's demo caught fire in March and it will be brought up at every demo night like a mantra.
Nothing in the co-working space changed. The only change is that the room accumulated a past.
What appeared in your space around month six?
Wait, it's all coordination???
Onchain security is everyone’s problem and nobody’s job.
ETHSecurity Initiatives is how we are changing that.
Propose the work. Fund the work. Build the work.

TheDAO's story comes in two phases.
2016: the birth, and the death. 2026: the revival.
In 2016, TheDAO raised over $150M - the largest crowdfunded project at the time, roughly 14% of all ETH in existence. It was then promptly hacked and the treasury drained. After much deliberation, the Ethereum blockchain was hard forked, and now we have Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC).
The thing worth remembering: hundreds of people, from dozens of countries, coordinated many millions of dollars with the intention of doing more together, using a brand new technology. The shared knowledge of a transparent ledger and immutable smart contracts let these pioneers work together despite not knowing each other.
Ten years later, around 75,000 ETH left unclaimed in the treasury was made available to a set of appointed Curators through governance. Staked, earning yield, with a clear mandate: fund security research on Ethereum.
In 2016, strangers proved they could share a treasury. What they couldn't yet share was judgment - a way of deciding, together, who to trust. That's the problem Bonfires exists for. So when Griff Green, one of TheDAO's Curators, came to us, it felt less like a project and more like a homecoming. Together we found a neutral way of evaluating cyber security researchers: consensus crafted from public data, data self-submitted by applicants, and a verifiable agentic evaluation process.
Bonfires launched an agent to manage it. For each of the 2,000+ applications, it confirmed the applicant was not being impersonated, researched them beyond what they put in the form, scored them against a rubric, and built a knowledge graph for future utility.
Griff wrote the first pass of the Rubric himself, public here: hackmd.io/@xykcBFvrS8CoJKJi6…
The top 200 ranked applicants were issued an ETH Security Researcher Badge: membership to the DAO, reputation for the holder, and a mechanism to grant permissions. And now the Badgeholders are entitled to edit the Rubric themselves - a bottom-up, participatory protocol for creating shared, verifiable consensus with AI.
Ten years ago, TheDAO showed that strangers could coordinate capital. Ten years later, it's showing they can coordinate consensus. We're honoured to be carrying the torch it lit.

If you were around in 2016: what do you remember thinking when the fork happened?
