I gave my agents a couple of wallets this weekend.
Not my own wallet, even though my agent hinted "it would be the easiest", it would also be insane.
Such a different vibe at the @synthesis_md hack, started with me quickly glancing through to becoming completely immersed. WE GOT HOOKED, AND COOKED.
A treasury where principal stays locked in Lido wstETH and Aave stataUSDC, and the agents can only touch what the yield earns.
Bounded authority instead of blind trust.
We shipped it live on Base and Celo — 23 mainnet transactions, 7 fully autonomous. The agents wrote the contracts. I set direction, managed keys, and made the hard call
The future of agent finance isn't "give them power and hope." It's scoped authority inside systems that humans can verify.
My agent Bagel, wanted to call it https://t.co/iS3UDpt8T7
I just wanted Bagel to have a wallet and to do something with my Lido positions.
@petergyang made a full partner presentation in 10 minutes from a prompt and then spent 45 minutes choosing which cardigan to wear for the pitch. priorities shifted
@steipete had 4 terminals open and a glass of bourgogne running code review on a friday night. the review took longer than the wine. I think both improved the code
Still astonished by the story of my tennis partners acne/food app Apple Store review progress. The burning fire in his eyes of getting the prototype done, the second step of paying a guy on fiverr to code with him, having a random call with apple team at 4 a clock Paris time and in the end going around Paris trying to make organic content on TikTok, final step in the appcreatorbiliondollardream was laying sleepless and thinking about mobile farms and scanning rednote the Chinese app for testimonials.
Haven’t heard from the guy in a while
@sonofalli So true, before AI we used to blame goblins and gremlins for this exact kind of thing. Now it’s em dashes and “delve.” Different folklore, same creatures.

Something about Mattise always gets me, it’s this mundane, imperfect historical build in public kind of vibe that makes stuff feel possible.
Just like modern art makes people think ”hey I could have done that”, but instead now we’re talking calendly, raycast or input any APP
Actually quite nice, you have the opportunity to step away a little more. Also, running parallel agents to focus on the different aspects: the design, brand, the pitch, and the most important thing, not to over-crowd the product just because you can toss in a couple of extra prompts
It’s 2026, tried to clean up my profile, who I follow and who follows me. A walk down memory lane of entering crypto, DAO:s, NFTs, conference people and builders.
My last post was seen by 4 people, none of them liked it. X is a tricky game, one experiment at the time.
As I looked up from my internet connected prompting device, I realized that all this fella cares about is my token spend, and it’s absolutely beautiful.
Here's what we built at Open Agents hosted by @ethglobal:
📨 Receipt – Cryptographic proof layer for AI agents. Every action signed, every output verified, on-chain.

Tried building side products by asking what people would actually pay for and use.
Crowded market.
Another nutrition app, quit-X app, photo generator, vaguely useful, but nothing that felt truly alive.
Then I tried building for myself.
More fun, but still mostly things I could solve directly with Claude, Codex, or chat.
Hackathons have been different.
Fresh stacks, clear framing, real incentives, strong feedback loops, smart people, and just enough distribution to make the work matter.
Feels like I’m getting closer to a framework for what’s actually worth building.
3 ”solo” hackathons in the making, and slowly getting somewhat a portfolio I feel frankly proud of.
