1/ World, meet Cohort I of the Ethereum Security Subsidy Program. Out of 100+ applicants, here are the 30 projects selected for our first of many cohorts.
Proudly securing @ethereum mainnet together with @ethereumfndn, @nethermind and @chainlinklabs.
Extremely grateful to the @ethereumfndn and their partners for accepting @anvil_xyz into this program. Security is always our top focus. My favorite thing about this industry is the incredible collaboration between serious projects that work together for the benefit of all.
OGAudit Web3 Research: @ampdotxyz $AMP - Payment Pioneer or Legacy Collateral?
Amp remains the most recognized collateral as a service primitive on Ethereum but the protocol's 2026 trajectory is defined by a strategic retreat from consumer pilots to focus exclusively on merchant backend infrastructure:
- In March 2026, Flexa officially suspended the SPEDN app, ending a 7 year experiment in consumer facing crypto payments. This marks a fundamental shift that the project is no longer attempting to be a crypto Venmo but is instead repositioning as the underlying platform for payment service providers and legacy retailers. For AMP, this means less direct usage by retail users and more reliance on institutional integration via the Flexa SDK.
- Despite the price drawdown, AMP maintains one of the most robust collateral first architectures. It allows for the instantaneous guarantee of transactions solving the finality problem that prevents Bitcoin or Ethereum from being used at point of sale terminals. However with Flexa’s TVL collapsing from mid 2025 highs, the demand for AMP collateral has seen a massive structural contraction.
- The Ampera Foundation continues to develop Anvil, a collateral protocol designed to extend AMP’s utility beyond payments into onchain secured credit. By enabling the issuance of collateralized loans and onchain credit lines, the foundation is attempting to diversify AMP’s utility though the ecosystem is still struggling to bridge the gap between protocol potential and real world volume.
Is this an undervalued collateral infrastructure play with battle tested security and institutional grade partnerships or does the shutdown of the SPEDN app and the catastrophic collapse in staking TVL make AMP a structural zombie asset in a rapidly evolving payment landscape?

Ill be speaking on the industry & what we are up to at @anvil_xyz
Since late last year, I’ve been working on a project related to agentic commerce. Today I’m excited to share a little bit more about that initiative and why I think it’s more timely and important than ever that we build better infrastructure for machines to move money.
In short, it’s obvious that we’re entering the “age of autonomy.” Smart machines are learning how to perform important tasks on behalf of humans and each other. But the tools available for these machines to make and accept payments today are no better than blunt rocks and clubs.
If we ever want machines to be able to conduct commerce at scale, then we need totally new financial primitives that are faster, more streamlined, simpler, and more robust than anything available today.
Final (@usefinal) is the new company I’ve formed to gather this work together. Part think tank, part factory, Final is a design workshop that’s building the new infrastructure for machines to move money.
For the last 8+ years, our team at Flexa (@FlexaHQ) has been building onchain payments infrastructure for enterprise. Many of you are aware that Flexa today is the most licensed crypto payments provider in the US—and that’s with even more rails and corridors under active development.
I’m not leaving Flexa anytime soon. For all the reasons listed above, I expect Flexa to play a critical role in helping to deploy the new technology that Final is building. And if anything, I am hoping this initiative will enable Flexa to be even more intrinsic to helping crypto payments go mainstream—because at this point, I’m fully convinced that the rise of agentic commerce will come to be known as the biggest inflection point in crypto payments adoption, period.
I’ve posted some notes on how Final is approaching agentic commerce over at https://t.co/ssZhRmMqm4. As the next few months unfold, I sincerely hope you’ll follow along to learn more about why we think a fresh perspective is warranted, and how equipping smart machines with better financial tools can benefit us all. More to come!
🚨 $AMP Grant renewed 🚨
We’re continuing our work with @nevergoon, a creator bringing digital payments into real-world, lifestyle-driven content.
After building strong momentum and a rapidly growing audience, this next phase is focused on scaling that impact even further.
Huge congrats to @bubby_io for pulling this together.
Definitely check out https://t.co/7TpE6d1Mpc for all things @FlexaHQ payments. Powered by ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2 of course!
Happy to share a little pet project I've been working on. An archive of all the @FlexaHQ spending videos on X, for the Amp and Flexa community. The spenders. https://t.co/ylHYPNa2CR
