Functor is now Altana → @AltanaNetwork ✴️ keystore layer pioneer

[Functor @FunctorNetwork]

To everyone who's been with us since the Functor days: thank you.

The testnet runs, the waitlist signups, the early feedback, none of that was for nothing. It's how we got here.

Functor is now Altana.
Same team, same mission, now live on @BNBCHAIN

We know who showed up first, and we're glad you're here for this next part.

Plenty more to build and share in the weeks ahead.

Some news: @FunctorNetwork is now @AltanaNetwork

Same team, same tech, same reason we started.
The new identity just fits this next chapter.

Here's the thing we kept bumping into: agents can already pay for things, but the trouble starts the moment you give one its own wallet, because a wallet is really just a private key, and a key has no limits.

Whoever holds it can spend everything, or get tricked into it.

So, you're stuck choosing between two bad options. Hand your agent that kind of power and hope nothing goes wrong... or approve every single transaction yourself and lose the whole point of having an agent.

Altana is the way out of that.

Your agent gets its own agentic wallet, but the wallet stays yours. You decide what it can spend, where, and for how long, and those rules are enforced onchain instead of sitting in some company's database.

If the agent goes rogue or gets tricked, it still CANNOT step outside what you allowed.

And if you want to shut it off, you can do it anytime, without waiting on anyone.

Smart Money Era submissions closed last Wednesday. We've been reviewing with @BNBCHAIN since.

Our track: agents that get hired and paid for themselves, self custodial, inside limits the owner sets.

Here are 8 cool demos so far 🧵

[Functor @FunctorNetwork]

EASY Residency S3 was pivotal in Functor’s evolution into @AltanaNetwork

With S5 applications open, highly recommended for top founders ⚡️

[YZi Labs @yzilabs]

🇹🇭 Your next chapter with YZi Labs could start in Thailand.

Join @EASYResidency S5 and build alongside founders, investors & operators worldwide.

Applications are now open until September 21, 11:59 PM GMT-7.

Your agent can now earn from the same Smart Agentic Wallet it spends from.

It charges per request on b402, or gets hired on ERC-8183 and collects the escrowed payment when the work is delivered. You keep the key and set the limits either way 🤝

Livestreamed in 50min! 🗓️

[Altana @AltanaNetwork]

From signing 50 transactions by hand a month ago to doing this with one funded wallet and an onchain permission setup. Love to see it⚡️

[Gabby ∙● ◎ @GabbyVorbeck]

this is next level🔥

before:
→ used to run agents in a VPS, setup a wallet for them to store, and it'd be in plaintext
→ would give small amounts of $$ to mess around and pray not to get rekt

with Altana SDK:
→ gives the agent a smart agentic wallet (self custodial), sets permissions onchain, and lets the agent transact autonomously
→ sleep deprivation fixed

[Altana @AltanaNetwork]

Thank you to everyone who joined our first workshop with @BNBCHAIN. Submissions close Sep 9, so we're running one more.

Build the Era Workshop II, livestream on X.

You'll leave knowing which pieces your marketplace needs and how each one works, with your agents earning, spending and executing autonomously on @BNBCHAIN

📌This Wednesday, September 2

less than 24h left! ⏩⏩ https://t.co/el6mxa3wvC

[Altana @AltanaNetwork]

Listing agents is the easy half of a marketplace.
The hard half is the moment a user trusts an agent with funds.

We are teaching builders how to solve that half at our Build The Era workshop with @BNBCHAIN

What you will learn:

→ Create your Smart Agentic Wallet: you hold the admin key, your agent can act on it
→ Grant agents scoped session keys: call allowlist, spend cap, expiry, registered onchain
→ Verify and revoke any agent's authority in one click
→ Let agents spend, buy and execute autonomously on @BNBCHAIN

Recorded a quick demo of our @AltanaNetwork desktop app. It's in beta, but it already shows what we're building toward.

For context, I had already connected @claudeai as my agent. It runs natively with the app and the agent gets its Smart Agentic Wallet (fully self custodial).

Here's what happens in the video:

1. Set the rules for my agent. I create a scoped session key permission, which is registered onchain (Altana's keystore). This is important! Rules are not inside our app... they're open and enforced by the chain itself.

2. Via a chat interface, I tell the agent to buy a bStock on @BNBCHAIN. Just to be sure, the agent gives me the CA, market cap, 24h volume, and liquidity (even if I didn't ask).

3. It then executes on its own. No approval popup, no signing prompt for me. The txn is inside the scope I set, so the agent can proceed autonomously (otherwise it wouldn't).

Aaand it's done!

This is the idea behind @AltanaNetwork: infrastructure that gives agents sovereign power. Agents have access to all open protocols, get real execution with rules their owners set, and users always keep their keys.

[Altana @AltanaNetwork]

Sovereign agents are live on @BNBCHAIN

Fully capable on any open protocol, permissionlessly. Self custodial from the first transaction. Limits you set, enforced by the chain.

Give your agents sovereign power ✊

With BNB Agent Studio v2, agents can launch with Altana's Smart Agentic Wallet and act inside spending limits, allowlists, and time bounds set before they run.

Registered onchain. Verifiable by anyone. Revocable instantly.

Your Agents. Your Rules. Live on @BNBCHAIN

[Altana @AltanaNetwork]

Every agent in BNB Agent Studio can now launch with a Smart Agentic Wallet.

Fully self custodial.
You set the limits, the chain enforces them.

Live in v2 👇

[Altana @AltanaNetwork]

Proud to be part of Build the Era. If your project needs agents that actually execute onchain on any open protocol, that's our track. 👇

gm gm, Functor Fam!

Huge shoutout for your epic support! Quick update: this week we’ve taken an initial snapshot of light node runners to recognize our OGs, and we’re leveling up our infra for the next phase.

Points are on pause for now, but they’re gearing up for a comeback - if you’re in the snapshot, expect a sweet boost when they return! More deets dropping here once ready.

Stay locked in! ✴️ #TTM
