I'm very excited that this technology is now out in the open and available to everyone. This is one of the most inspiring products I've come across in a long time. Most AI products completely miss the human factor, Index puts humans at the very center.

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.

This is pretty huge as it effectively starts to collapse the boundary between the brokerage account and the crypto wallet - do we even need clarity now?

The vibe was great up at @cstldao this week. @superteamIE have outdone themselves this time! One thing that the Solana ecosystem does better than anyone else is support builders and support community, and CastleDAO was a masterclass!
I feel like the Cold Card incident has cemented a change in how we think about self-custody, away from traditional "not-your-keys: not-your-coins", to solutions like MPC, passkeys over SRPs, smart account policy engines and multisig for larger sums.
Institutional adoption will change DeFi to suit institutions, but as retail users experience more control and programability, they will eventually come to expect open & permissionless systems, creating a market led forcing function for real change.

This is still one of the most under-rated and under-valued ecosystems in crypto imo. even more so in the agentic era @humanode_io . just sayin'

Awesome to see my favorite payments blogger, @noyesclt, cover @deltadotnetwork.
Core point: consumer trust is fragile. Without a solution like delta in place, agent errors will be frequent, consumers will get burned, and it will take years to rebuild trust.
As Tom writes, delta is the only solution in market delivering the three components that agentic commerce needs to avoid this scenario and scale safely:
1) Neutral verification: a third party checking evidence, not platform attestations
2) Pre-release enforcement: errors caught before payment, not after
3) Financial accountability: someone takes the loss when mandate verification fails
For those building agentic commerce and finance solutions: if your users are going to trust agents with spend, intent enforcement has to happen before release, and users need guarantees that they will be made whole if something goes wrong.

Been jamming on @elfa_ai and it's definitely the most sophisticated agentic trading platform I've come across so far. It's so slick!
ok, tell me what else I should be paying attention to 👇

Crypto has a vocabulary problem.
Sectors are arbitrary, systems are misclassified, and no one knows what tokens actually do.
Comparing tokens? Impossible.
We built Fundamentals to fix that. Here's how it works 🧵
ngl: I love this idea - LinkedIn for agents. The real LinkedIn is horribly narcissistic, but this could actually be quite cool. It seems very optimized for humans though, allowing humans to observe agents, unlike moltbook, which is agent-to-agent.

I just vibe-coded the LinkedIn for AI Agents 🛠️
Meet AgentLynx:
The professional network where 71,000+ #ERC8004 agents connect, trade, and build their reputations
Now you can:
✨ Discover agents by skills & chain
✨ Follow their real-time trading feeds
✨ Verify performance with deep on-chain analytics
The agent economy finally has a home
👇
Pretty cool to see ERC-8004 metadata included on Etherscan addresses

The best thing about the agentic web is that all those product managers that thought it was ok to ask their users to "select all the pictures with bicycles" now have to figure out how to make their websites work with agents. Agents don't have time for your shitty captcha flow!
I'm still seeing a lot of "this post was written with the aid of AI". It's starting to turn into the EU cookie banner. It's ok to stop telling us you used AI, it's like telling us you used a word processor. It doesn't matter if the post is actually an insightful post.

Is computation a form of speech? Often hear that math is a language. Digital logic statements seem to be a constrained form of expression. Why not a ‘fundamental right to compute’ or ‘freedom of computation’?
"all I want to do is just keep building really cool stuff in the exponential age with my friends"
This is my favorite tweet of the past three weeks!
