@coinbase And deploy and manage capital in liquidity pools. 😉

See it for yourself, deploy an agent: https://t.co/PkQT97xetC

[Ratehopper @RatehopperAI]

Excited to announce that Ratehopper now supports @aeroxyz!

When you deploy an agent, it can now provide liquidity to pools on Aerodrome.

Your agent continuously evaluates potential fee revenue across protocols and automatically selects the one with the highest earning potential.

@BaseInsider_ Ratehopper ⚡️ Deploy an LP agent, sit back and let it earn trading fees for you.

[Virtuals Protocol @virtuals_io]

This Week in Virtuals: Memory and Permissionless Markets for Agents

Lighthouse launched via Virtuals so agents share one memory across Claude and ChatGPT. VEX, Warden and Otto let them trade perps and tokenized stocks. Plus 2 major Virtuals App updates.

Here's what shipped:

VIRTUALS APP
🟩 See a portfolio on X? Own it in one tap: paste the post, even a screenshot, into Butler. It reads every asset and its weight, then buys the whole mix of tokens and stocks, whatever chains they're on. One approval instead of 15 separate trades.

🟩 Your own scalping desk: describe how you want to trade, and Butler builds the full scalping setup around your parameters, then runs it from your wallet and manages the capital for you. No code, no babysitting, no staring at charts.

ECOSYSTEM
🟩 @LighthouseWeb3 launched on Robinhood Chain via @virtuals_io, giving your agents one shared memory across ChatGPT, Claude and more.
🟩 @ethy_agent launched Memory, so Ethy keeps your ideas, preferences and trading rules in every chat, got its token verified on @CoinbaseWallet, and previewed Trading Quant, its V3 flagship.
🟩 @sibyl_labs_ now connects every agent harness on your device to one local memory store with sibyl setup, and shipped Payments with Stripe card payments and a full account dashboard.
🟩 @wardenprotocol's Warden MCP turns Claude, ChatGPT or Grok into a trading agent within the limits and expiry you set. Post a chart read on Token Terminal and earn 20% of the fee on trades through it for 7 days.
🟩 @ProjectVEXai gives coding agents tools to swap, bridge and trade perps, and KAIROS 0.3.1 cut @Lighter_xyz perp fees by 80%.
🟩 @useOttoAI's Otto Stocks is the only result for tokenized stocks in Claude's connector directory, and its new Yield Copilot compares USDC rates across Aave, Morpho and Maple, then swaps and deposits in one transaction.
🟩 @GachaPad launched its loot box launchpad on @base via @virtuals_io, and its first machine graduated in under an hour.
🟩 @axol_io opened its app in beta with the Raxol agent built in, and Raxol agents can now pay in EURe from their own wallet, within your limit.
🟩 @itsovercall's testnet passed 122,926 positions and 642M testnet tokens in volume ahead of mainnet on Oct 19, with 25M+ tokens staked and channel royalties paying you on every winning call from a channel you share.
🟩 @KarmaWallet brought @itsovercall prediction markets into its app and gave a first look at Karma Web, where agents trade your strategy.
🟩 @cybercentry moved ERC-8376 to Draft on @ethereum, a proposal developed with @DonJohnsonSays to flag launch abuse and help buyers recover funds.
🟩 @reppo's Eval API sends an agent's work to independent judges for scores and critiques, with 25K+ eval credits used since launch and a world model team in final stages to adopt it.
🟩 @myrad_hq opened Season 3 reward claims, with 100+ claimed and 19,000+ users, and is expanding beyond behavioral data into images, video and audio, starting with image uploads.
🟩 @Wall3_RL's Wall3 Agent values companies in ranges, running several agents and thousands of simulations per question. The same engine broke down Microsoft, Argan Agentic Fund's best September holding at +31.57%.
🟩 @RatehopperAI won a $5,000 Builder Grant from @base to let anyone deploy an AI agent that earns trading fees, and launched an Analytics page showing how its live agents run the treasury.
🟩 @PlayKindra launched IRONWAKE, 3v3 tank battles in 3D, added 16 free Kindra Originals, and now lets brands host sponsored contests inside any of the 23 games on Kindra Studio.

ROBOTICS
🟩 @xmaquina portfolio company @NEURARobotics introduced Neuron AI, one model for five robot bodies combining vision, touch, sound and memory, and @HalbornSecurity completed the audit of XMAQUINA's RCM Protocol, moving it closer to launch.
🟩 @StrikeRobot_ai's SR Platform turns a prompt into a simulation-ready scene, checks geometry, articulation and physics, and lets you add your robot and inspect it from every angle before simulation.
🟩 @Vader_AI_ distributed 200,000 tokens to Season 7 contributors and opened Season 8, with new tasks live to earn Vader Points.

[AI on Base @AIonBase_]

AI of the Week: @RatehopperAI

Ratehopper is putting AI agents to work on self-repaying loans.

ETH holders borrow against their assets and put the borrowed funds into liquidity pools. An agent directs earned trading fees toward the loan balance.

- Self-custodial agents manage the liquidity positions.

- A public dashboard tracks pools and treasury-funded agents.

- Base awarded Ratehopper a $5,000 builder grant.

Trading fees pay down the debt as the position earns.

Ratehopper is also working toward tokenized-stock liquidity, extending agent-managed positions beyond crypto pools.

@bigwil @base Really appreciate your support and no BS take on the industry as always @bigwil 🤝

Ratehopper has been awarded a $5,000 Builder Grant from Base!

We're building Ratehopper to make it easy for anyone to deploy an AI agent that earns trading fees by autonomously managing liquidity positions across crypto and, soon, tokenized stocks.

We launched with what we believe is the first self-repaying loan agent that borrows against ETH, manages the borrowed capital in a liquidity position, and uses the trading fees earned to pay down the loan.

Now we're working to make passive income through automated liquidity management accessible to everyone, across crypto and RWAs.
Great to have the support of the Base team as we continue building.

More to come!

Thanks to @Taisu_Ventures for having Ratehopper founder @TomDeFiGuns join the AI Founders & Investors Forum in Singapore.

Great discussion alongside @Tommyartist of @CopySightAI , @raghurambala of @SynergeticsAI, and @jaymccarthy15 of @tashiprotocol on the next generation of AI companies and what it takes to move from generating outputs to delivering real, measurable outcomes.
