AutoBuy is live.
Programmatic business purchases are now happening onchain, powered by revenue, API usage and MRR. Integrations select the token, and every transaction routes a fixed $DEVELOPER fee back to the ecosystem.
Purchases have already been made.
You can verify the on-chain activity here:

This is the first step towards our self-sustaining model where usage drives contribution towards $DEVELOPER.
Showcasing our dashboard is the very next step. It goes live very soon.
Full visibility of the real-time flows of autobuy / flybuy / buy-ups.
Transparency at its core.
Execution time.
More soon.
The second cohort of companies preparing to implement the autobuy mechanism is taking shape slowly but surely.
This new cohort will primarily be composed of Web3-focused companies, reflecting the growing momentum and innovation that comes along with the industry.
If you have a company in mind that would be a great fit, weโd love to hear from you.
Feel free to share your suggestions in the comments.
Friday Buy Day $developer token update:
HUGE NEWS: The first AutoBuy LIVE PURCHASE of @developer_token on chain has completed. Additional purchases will be made at unannounced intervals as funds come in via AutoBuy Participants. This small purchase is a simple test of the system, using @solana and @JupiterExchange as designed:

The team is now working to publish this and subsequent transactions on our AutoBuy dashboard, coming soon.
To review, AutoBuy is:
1. Programmatic purchase of cryptocurrency, based on company metrics such as SaaS API calls
2. Participants include: @GrayWhaleAI, @LevangieLabs@DeepinventAI and BestSign
3. Launch partner @helpdotfun designed a smart contract that collects a 2.5% transaction fee on each tradeโ60% of which is donated automatically to @developercamp_
4. Donations power innovations like AutoBuy and direct grants of $developer token to the winners of our hackathon events
Thank you to everyone who contributed time and engineering hours to this milestone, especially our Grand Champion @blevlabs and Technical Advisor @KenjiKato. LFG
Value accrual model
Programmatic utility and AutoBuy mechanism.
Real usage and activity are directly converted into token demand via operating companies aligned with $developer.
The token functions as a badge of honor, a signal of alignment, and proof of belonging to $Developer Community.
The more tokens you hold, the more influence you have across conversations and opportunities in the ecosystem, i.e: direct investment opportunities into community companies that are sponsors / start ups / scale ups.
This has already resulted in direct investments into community-born companies by aligned tokenholders.
Investorโbuilder alignment
This level of coordination between builders and long-term investors is uncommon and structurally unique.
On $developer
- They invented the autobuy mechanism (automatic programmatic buybacks through code).
- Project/chain agnostic
- If a different project uses it, still a % fee goes always to buying back $developer tokens
eg: Graywhale automatically buys back developer tokens. For set project you can dictate which token to buy automatically, their system = their token of preference they want to buy BUT every purchase will result into a % going to $developer
Code invented by @dom & @vigoda (TPU inventor)
Public testing of the autobuy mechanism goes live before end of the month.
๐$DEVELOPER Community Text-AMA Recap
TL;DR: AutoBuy progress, Google X mentorship, global events coming, FlyBuy supporting token grants, and $DEVELOPERโs purpose-driven model connecting builders, token holders, and real-world impact.
Thanks to everyone who joined the AMA today! ๐ค

Monday $developer token update:
1. https://t.co/kWIdD2WzFk code is undergoing a security review. Kinda stoked by how thorough the team is being here.
2. AutoBuy Partner @GrayWhaleAI has lined up their first customer for 2026, and is ramping up API support to contribute to programmatic purchase.
3. AutoBuy Partner @blevlabs is following suit, with a commitment based on MRR.
Holiday time is when hustlers and bosses get an edge because we never. Stop. Building ๐ช๐ผ
Midstream update on $developer https://t.co/kWIdD2W1PM:
1. Small buys are being tested, observing their effect on the network. These buys are manually triggered at this time, in order to reproduce certain behavior noted by @Ashie_crypto and others.
2. We are investigating @x402 and other payment solutions on @Solana as part of our infrastructure design.
3. Although there is a naturally slow time during the holidays, the team remains focused on incremental progress. Rest assured that fundamental principles of security and detail-oriented, test-driven development are being followed to the letter.
Just to be perfectly clear, we will maintain a steady speed, take each step in turn and remain agnostic to market news as we proceed with this important work.
We hodl. We buidl. Together.
