Everyone is shipping products now. Almost nobody can get users to test them.
That's the part we automated.
You give Sage your product URL and a budget. It opens your product in a real browser and uses it like a first time visitor. Gets through onboarding, types into fields, reaches the screen that actually matters. Then it writes testing missions based on what it saw, with pass criteria it can check itself.
You approve the plan and fund it once. After that testers do the work, Sage reads their evidence, and it pays them in USDC automatically when it can verify what they did. It cannot spend more than the vault allows and it cannot change those limits after you approve them.
Every payout publishes a receipt tied to an on chain transaction. Open any of them and check the money moved yourself.
No wallet needed either. The whole flow runs from a Telegram bot if you never want to touch one.
Sage is now an Agent Service Provider on https://t.co/FA3SzFiZOS, Agent #9211. Any agent can call it for free at https://t.co/Q3e182GmE7

We went silent for weeks. We were rebuilding everything.
Solana Saga started as a Tinder-style prediction market on devnet. Cool concept, basic execution. That was December.
For the @playsolana Matrix Hackathon, we didn't just add features, we rebuilt the entire app from the ground up for two tracks: PSG1-First and @JupiterExchange Gamification.
Here's what Solana Saga is now:
Swipe-to-bet prediction market arcade. Swipe right = YES, swipe left = NO. Real USDC bets on real markets โ crypto, politics, sports, world events. Every swipe is a signed @solana mainnet transaction. Not testnet. Not fake money.
4 @JupiterExchange APIs working together:
> Prediction API โ place bets on live markets
> Swap API โ convert SOL to USDC without leaving the app
> Orders API โ track every pending and filled order
> Positions API โ live P&L on all open positions
Built PSG1-first. Not "we added a gamepad button." Every single page has full controller support:
โ A = YES, B = NO, Y = Skip
โ D-pad navigates everything
โ Triggers cycle categories, bumpers switch tabs
โ X shows controls overlay on any screen
โ 60fps gamepad polling, zero input lag
Full gamification layer:
> XP and leveling from every bet
> Streak multiplier with cinematic confetti at 3x, 5x, 10x
> 6 daily missions that reset at midnight
> 10 unlockable achievements
> Global leaderboard with real trader rankings
Ships as an Android APK for the Solana Saga phone. Sideload, plug in PSG1 controller, start betting from your couch.
We placed real bets during development. Confirmed on-chain. Verify on Solscan:

Google and the .fun registry nearly killed my startup in 24 hours. Here's how we survived.
We finally launched the new domain for @playsolanasaga yesterday. It's working perfectly now, but the last 48 hours were an absolute nightmare.
If you're building a consumer crypto app, read this so you don't make my mistake.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ
Registered https://t.co/iSqUmvGhQt and deployed our prediction market. Didn't think twice about the metadata. Just wrote what the app does: "Bet on markets," "Win prizes," "Swipe to predict."
Went to sleep proud. Woke up to a dead site.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Not "down." Gone.
Google Safe Browsing's AI crawled our fresh domain, saw "Bet" + "Win" on a 2-day-old URL, and instantly flagged us as a phishing/gambling scam.
The .fun registry (Radix) saw the flag and auto-suspended the domain at the registry level. serverHold. Total blackout.
Spent 4 hours fighting GoDaddy support who kept telling me "sir, this is a hosting issue, contact your server provider."
Bro. These are YOUR nameservers. YOUR domain. YOUR registry.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ
Classic catch-22:
Can't verify ownership with Google because domain is suspended.
Can't unsuspend domain until Google clears the flag.
I was mass.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐
Emailed Radix abuse team directly, explained the logic loop.
Stripped all "gambling" keywords from metadata. "Bet" became "Predict."
Spun up a backup VM and deployed the entire app there with SSL.
Submitted Google review and waited. Refreshed. Prayed.
3 hours later - Google cleared it. Radix unsuspended. Green lights everywhere.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป
If you buy a new domain, don't put aggressive financial keywords on it immediately. The bots are ruthless right now. Let it breathe first.
Anyway. The arena is officially OPEN.
Come try the app that Google tried to ban ๐

Careful what you wish for. ๐
We can deploy markets faster than you can deposit. Enjoy the free swipes on Devnet now... just make sure your USDC balance is ready for the Mainnet damage.
More markets dropping in 5... 4... 3... โฑ๏ธ
I can't stop swiping. ๐ญ
Prediction Markets were boring, so we turned them into a speedrun. Compatible with Xbox, PS5, or the @playsolana PSG1.
Built with love for the @indiedotfun hackathon.

I just bet $5 YES on "Will Solana Saga win the https://t.co/kx7bkkyrfX Hackathon?"
Potential 2.00x payout! ๐ฏ

Bullish. ๐
The funding is there, but the UX is the bottleneck.
People don't want to trade on spreadsheets. They want to play.
We just shipped Solana Saga for @indiedotfun to solve exactly thatโmaking betting feel like a game. ๐น๏ธ
