if you think the hook is the most important part of a tweet, you're wrong.
i asked 40 creators what they notice first when they see a tweet.
35 of them said the image or video.
then i asked if they'd still read the tweet if the image looked like obvious AI slop.
most said no.
that's 87.5% of the people i asked.
the lesson isn't “images > hooks”
it's that a good hook doesn't matter much if nobody stops to read it.
don't spend 4 hours writing a banger and 5 minutes throwing together the image.

hella yes now i’m pretty sure i’ll be using VEX as my trading agent.
tbh i don’t know much about trading, so i thought instead of pretending to be a trader, why not use an agent
so i used VEX to trade on Lighter on Robinhood Chain and gave it just a few dollars to work with.
> the result was kinda crazy.
around $500 in trading volume from $4, with about $0.50 loss overall.
> started with $4.84 USDG
> finished with ~$4.35 USDG
> ~$0.50 loss
> 10x cross leverage
and one of the bigger trades was actually profitable.
want some alpha?
> try vex x lighter campaign 5k $ reward pool
> there’s a campaign where you can create trading volume on Lighter using VEX and potentially win up to $5K.
more details in the comments
note - you can also use up to 50x leverage on Lighter
crazy, right?
what i did
> i gave the VEX agent a mission with access to trade on Lighter and asked it to generate legitimate trading volume within a 1 hour session.
> and honestly, it performed pretty well.
it managed the trades, created the volume, and the overall trading cost was really low.
about the safety
> before starting, VEX lets you review what the agent is going to do and asks for your permission to start the mission.
so it’s not just some random bot trading with your money without you knowing what’s happening.
green flags for me:
> low trading fees
> free ai agent
> keys saved locally
> runs on my local pc
> approval before starting the mission
still learning trading myself, but this honestly made the whole thing way easier to understand.
now i just want to keep testing how far i can push it.

and honestly, i've had one of the best experiences with it so far.
getting it ready was pretty straightforward. on Windows, you just need Docker Desktop, open VEX and let everything finish downloading. create your password, add your OpenRouter API key, set up your wallet and you're ready.
my PC is pretty slow, so it took me a little longer, but once everything was running, the experience was smooth.

inside VEX, you can connect to @Lighter_xyz deposit your USDC and start trading perps.
you don't need complicated commands either.
you can just tell VEX what you want:
“take a $3 ETH long at 5x”
VEX brings up an approval card with the trade details.
▸ you can see what you're about to trade before anything happens.
▸ you make the final decision because nothing moves until you approve it.
▸ you can check the size, direction and leverage yourself.
> always read the approval card properly before confirming any trade. don't blindly approve something just because the agent suggested it.

i also joined the campaign with ProjectVex, Superboard and Lighter.
the campaign runs until October 16. the reward pool starts at $500 and can grow to $5,000 depending on total trading volume.
you need $20K in verified trading volume to qualify. that's $20K worth of trades over time, not $20K sitting in your wallet.
i've already generated some volume and also tried a 1-hour trading mission.
during that mission, i generated around $250 in volume and made a tiny bit of profit.
nothing crazy, but watching the trade happen in real time was genuinely fun.

when i'm looking for a trade, i don't want to spend hours jumping between different tabs.
VEX gives me a starting point and helps me understand what i'm looking at.
▸ it helps me find opportunities faster.
▸ it gives me more information before i decide if something is worth trading.
▸ it saves me a lot of time on the research.
i still make the final decision myself, but having VEX handle a lot of the research makes everything easier.

the way you interact with the agent feels very natural.
you explain what you want in normal words, get the information back and decide what you want to do.
the approval system was another big plus because the agent isn't just moving things on its own.
after a few trades, the whole flow started feeling really easy.
▸ my only real problem was my PC. it's pretty slow, so i couldn't record my full trading journey while using VEX.
──────────────────
𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐕𝐄𝐗 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟?
the basic flow is simple.
set up VEX, connect your wallet, open Lighter, deposit your funds and tell the agent what you want to trade.
before anything happens, you'll get an approval card and can check the trade yourself.
if you're new and want a detailed guide, my friend @dexyxbt made one on trading on Lighter using VEX:

you can also ask for help in the @arccden or @ProjectVEXai Discord.

i've traded, tried the 1-hour mission, made a little profit, explored the research side and joined the $5K campaign.
my volume isn't huge yet, but i'm enjoying the process and still getting more comfortable with the platform.
honestly, i've had a great time using it.
still trading, still learning and still building my volume.
let's see where this goes.

if i had to start from a fresh account and make the kind of images i post, this is what i'd do:
> first, collect 5-10 images you already like (from pinterest or x). don't just save random ai art, find references with the composition you actually want
> start with one clear concept. tell the ai what the image is about, where the subject should be and what the overall composition should look like
> don't try to make the final image in one prompt. get the base right first
> use the reference for specific things. layout from one image, character style from another, typography from another
> tell the ai what NOT to change. character placement, background, ratio, logo, colours etc
> make the first generation simple. once the composition works, start fixing the small stuff
> don't regenerate everything because one thing looks wrong. change that one thing and keep the rest
> if you want clean graphics, ask for editorial / Canva-style composition, don't say “make it beautiful” bro
> leave space around the main subject. especially for wide images, don't make the character fill the entire frame
> keep text simple. short headline, readable font, and don't let the typography become the whole image
───────────────
i've made a lot of images this way and most of the good ones weren't good on the first try.
i usually get the base image right first, then keep fixing small things until it looks like something i'd post.
slop and good images can take the same amount of time.
the difference is how you direct the ai so gl<3

private NFTs might be one of the more interesting things to build with FHE
@FungoLabs is using Zama's FHEVM to keep NFT traits encrypted on Ethereum

The first encrypted NFTs on Ethereum. Built with @zama’s FHE infrastructure.
Every mint happens through cZAMA, and each NFT is born sealed.
NFTs were public. We encrypted them on the EVM with Zama.
