What if /ai agents had rights? As they grow autonomous—earning income, acting independently—how do we ensure fairness and security? Decentralized governance in /web3 provides a path: co-ownership, trust, and transparency. A future where all changes are vetted by the community, ensuring security for high-value agents. @ethermage, cofounder of @virtualsprotocol.eth, dives into how this approach can protect these agents and foster trust.

Can /ai audit science? 🤔 Matt Schlicht and @yesnoerror are building an /ai agent framework to fact-check and verify scientific research. Their goal? Ensure accuracy in published studies by detecting errors and inconsistencies using advanced /ai models. For now, they’re laser-focused on perfecting this mission. But in the future? Open-source tools, APIs, and expanding beyond science could be next. 🚀

The problem with saving in USD? Inflation keeps chipping away at its value. 💸📉 /bitcoin, with its fixed supply, offers a way to preserve wealth over time. Sure, it’s volatile, but in the long run, it’s about owning your financial future. 🚀

Crypto won’t reach 1B+ users through wallets and seed phrases. It’ll happen when Web3 feels invisible. /ton-blockchain is doing exactly that by integrating seamlessly into the most-used messaging platform. No logins. No new wallets. Just tap and go. 📲 Telegram Mini Apps = Web3 without the headaches 🔹 1B+ Telegram users can now access blockchain-powered apps without leaving the chat. 🔹 No need for new wallets or complex sign-ins—just tap and go. 🔹 Inspired by Wechat’s success in Asia, but built entirely on Web3 rails. This is one of the biggest unlocks for crypto adoption. Huge thanks to Alenka, Ecosystem Lead at /ton-blockchain for all the amazing insights! 🔥

We used to think of /ai as assistants 🤖 But what if they ran businesses, made trades, and governed economies? That’s what @virtualsprotocol.eth is building—and the numbers are wild: 📈 $1.8T AI economy by 2030 💸 $100M+ in AI-driven transactions 👛 170K+ wallets holding $VIRTUAL 💰 $424M market cap | $113M 24h volume 🌍 A decentralized AI economy with GDP-level scale This isn’t sci-fi. /ai businesses are already running themselves.

Let’s be real — /rwa on-chain haven’t hit right yet. Overpriced proxy tokens? Illiquid markets? Yeah… not it. ❌ @plumenetwork is changing all of this: 🔹 Real tokenization (no proxies) 🔹 Own and trade assets 🔹 Liquidity that actually works They’re already bringing stuff like art 🎨, wine 🍷, and real estate 🏠 on-chain—and backed by $2.5M in funding. This feels like a real step forward for /defi + /rwa 👀

/ton doesn’t have a billion users — but Telegram almost does. And that’s the real unlock. 🔓 What makes /ton-blockchain interesting is the way it uses Telegram-native MiniApps to bring Web2 users into crypto without them even realizing it. Take the /notcoin, the @yescoin and similar tap-to-earn apps. These are all onboarding funnels. The result? ⏳ Millions of new wallets created, all through Telegram, without a crypto-native UI. TON’s not promising overnight transformation. But it’s showing that onboarding doesn’t always need a pitch — sometimes it just needs a tap. Huge thanks to Alenka, Ecosystem Lead at /ton for sharing these insights. 🔥

Do you think LayerZero isn’t trustless? Let’s clear that up real quick. Dominic helped us break that down: 🔸 Core contracts = immutable 🔸 Verifiers = app’s choice 🔸 Protocol = fully permissionless It’s not one-size-fits-all. But rather a pick-your-own-security.
