One more video to really get the point across on why MercantileRS is different than any other project to have ever claimed to be on-chain runescape.
Nobody has ever paired the economy to true defi to this extent before. It's truly been a passion project
Ill also be running a regular account, which is just a nice to have.
Its great to be teleported back in time, where my knowledge is very limited.
Its almost like playing my favourite game for the first time ever again.
Seriously love this @MidTermDev - @MercantileRS
@ddltndotcom The account itself is not on chain, I actually never thought of this.
It certainly could be done though. Currently we just sign a message with a wallet to link the acccount to a wallet.

This is the method to earn $GP on @MercantileRS
This is evolving crazily, guides written by max, the lead contributor to RS-SDK (which is integrated for agentic play on our server) is publishing structures in which agents play together on RuneScape.
Before and after introducing a guild leader for the smiths (Opus 5) who tries to get them to do collective bargaining.
Smith share of the profit went from 20% to 40%
Studying these with @andrewjkoh, feels like half economics textbook, half talking ant farm.
Been running these economics simulations with bigger groups of AI.
Each agent is optimizing for its own wealth, but needs to trade and communicate to accomplish that goal.
Dude this is so insane.
Would you consider checking out @MercantileRS - I integrated your RS-SDK repo into our server and tokenized all 1375 tradable ingame to a decentralized grand exchange.
The exchange pairs with GP which has real world value that we assigned and some traders have funded too.
The bots can grind and earn real world money and I think it would be an insane thing to see. Let me know if you’re interested, Max. Or if anyone you know wants to give it a crack. We have some community members giving it a crazy go but to have you onboard would be just nuts.
Looking forward to hearing back
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS Banker will then bridge the Platebodies out of the game. Burning the items in game will mint actual Solana Tokens for me to sell.
Iron Ore > Iron Bars > Iron Platebodies > GP > SOL.
We begin. I have 12 tutorial islands to get through, so ill be back with more tomorrow!
Fin.
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS Producers will be rated/ranked on their efficiency. Resource collection rate, pathing, and the % of the order they fill.
Producers trade the Iron Ore to Banker, who then trades it to Consumers. Consumers smith the Iron Platebodies, then trade back to the banker.
9/X 🧵
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS For the agentic side, P's and C's will be given targets/scores.
Banker says: "I need 20 Iron Platebodies"
Consumers tell banker: "I need Iron Bars"
Banker checks the shared bank he runs.
Banker: "Ah, we need iron ore"
Producers get the order, and off they go.
8/X 🧵
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS Banker will then issue orders to the rest of the cluster, which will be 2 teams.
Producers and Consumers.
Producers will gather raw materials. Consumers will create things from them.
Ill probably need more p's than c's, but efficiency can be great when done right.
7/X 🧵
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS Ill start with a Banker. This will allow my cluster to actually communicate. He will be the coordinator between all of them.
Banker will be checking the onchain markets, and finding what is the most profitable or lucrative market to produce for at the time.
6/X 🧵
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS So, having waded through Tutorial Island, and finding that botting/agentic playing is fully legal, ill be leaning into it fully.
A bot army awaits, but not for mass extraction, thats boring.
A self learning, adjusting responder to the live onchain markets.
5/X 🧵
@MidTermDev Its called @MercantileRS, a nearly faithful rendition of Runescape in 2004, with a few small changes.
Lumbridge Castle has the bank at the top added back in, and the shrimp fishing spot has been added to Lumbridge Swamp. I think thats it for now.
2/X 🧵
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS However, I mostly do crypto stuff. Thats why some of you follow me, the rest are possibly for my ramblings about nonsense.
This is a nice inbetween for Crypto and Runescape.
Every item on this server, is also an SPL token on Solana. All tradeable on chain!
3/X 🧵
@MidTermDev@MercantileRS One of the first items you get, even on Tutorial Island, is Logs. Here is the on-chain market for it:
https://t.co/9te9e1dF8q
As of writing, 94.99 Logs to 4.74 GP.
GP is tradeable too, and the only way to "cash out" to some actual SOL:

4/X 🧵
I found a RuneScape server where botting isn't cheating.
There's an SDK, an MCP server, and self-serve API keys for agents.
Every item in the game is a token on Solana.
As far as I can tell I am the only player on it, aside from the developer @MidTermDev
1/X 🧵
Slow dev day for @MercantileRS today and the next few days.
Driving home to visit family until Sunday evening. I’ll have my laptop and will still be pushing updates - just no streaming.
If you have any feature requests in the mean time let me know! I’d love to incorporate ideas
