Introducing https://t.co/ivhQ4gEA5p, in collaboration with @googlecloud
For the first time agents can discover, access, and pay-per-request for APIs from Google Cloud including Gemini, BigQuery, Vertex AI, and more using stablecoins on Solana.
No accounts, no subscriptions, just machine-native commerce.
Letting software handle the mechanics frees traders up to focus on strategy and risk.
Hot Bot’s North Star is the commoditization of specialized trading intelligence for all, putting intelligent trading technology into more traders’ hands.
Anyone looking to test the bots or set up a strategy can apply for beta access 👇

Most solo traders are competing against full teams, custom scripts, and round-the-clock market noise.
@usehotbot is Agentic Trading as a Service. It gives individual traders a private team of specialist bots that work together, so they can stop living across ten open tabs and start trading with an actual desk behind them.
Built on top of @clawpumptech, every bot runs inside the wallet permissions and guardrails the user sets.
Traders keep full custody of their funds while the bots handle the repetitive grind of screening charts, filtering via ShieldBot, and watching entries overnight.
The orchestration layer applies those rules consistently across the whole team.
BREAKING: we just gave every @X account a Solana and EVM wallet
1️⃣ download the @PayBox app
2️⃣ connect your X account
3️⃣ that's literally it
now anyone in the world can send you crypto using your X handle on Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok
prompt it today
JUST IN: Batch payments are live for @x402 on Solana via @PayAINetwork and @BlockRunAI
An agent opens a payment channel, makes as many payments as it needs, and settles once onchain using x402.

Meet Steve Capital.
The next generation of money managers won’t all be human.
Where AI agents manage capital and act onchain, with guardrails that check every transaction against the mandate you define.
The agent gets autonomy. You keep authority, built on @solana
We wrapped up @Colosseum Accelerator Cohort 5.
Here’s what we actually got from them firsthand, from before the accelerator ~ after Demo Day.
Before Colosseum:
Flovia @Flovia402 started as a new company at the Colosseum Hackathon back in April.
We had a 1-month sprint, sharing progress every week, which really helped create the urgency to ship smth every single day.
Even tho we ended up winning, I’d say the sprint itself mattered more than the one-off submission or result. (from exp having won 20+ hackathons before)
During the accelerator:
A few things to touch on.
1. The intro support was strong.
Each person on the Colosseum team has their own strong network and great relationships w/ people in it.
A lot of their intros literally ended up becoming our customers.
2. P2P distance among founders matters.
Being a founder can get lonely sometimes.
Having other founders close by matters more than ppl expect. It’s also great stimulation seeing the ppl next to you keep making progress.
Cohort 5 had a lot of great folks.
3. The in-person office actually matters.
I literally slept on the office couch more times than I can count lol.
Having a place where you can just laser-focus on the company was super valuable.
(p.s. SF rent being crazy def makes the office even more valuable lol.)
After Demo Day:
The team kept supporting us individually after Demo Day, even on personal stuff.
Overall, if you’re seriously trying to build a startup from nothing, esp in crypto, I’d vouch for Colosseum.
Best thing we can do in return is make our startup succeed.
KEEP MOVING no matter what.
The AnsemHack by clawpumptech x @blknoiz06 is officially over 🫡
Built on @solana, we closed it with:
$225M+ total volume
$10.25M 24h volume
$61.4M ecosystem market cap
13,991 SOL in agentic funding

New Agentic Finance Report, co-authored by Solana Foundation with AMINA Bank, TensorX and others.
@rishinsharma, Head of AI Growth, sets out why settlement inside the decision cycle, sub-cent fees and x402 make Solana the execution layer for AI agents running institutional money.
The AI ecosystem is shifting rapidly from conversational models to autonomous economic actors.
ForgeAI is turning agent evaluation from a theoretical scoring paper into an open competitive sport.

Instead of guessing why an agent degraded or went into a reasoning loop, developers get frame-by-frame decision replays and standardized telemetry from ForgeAI.
It functions as a production proving ground before deploying capital-handling agents into the wild.
High-frequency decision engines can't operate on multi-dollar transaction fees or delayed block times.
ForgeAI leverages @solana's sub-second finality and micro-fee structure to handle rapid match entries, state verification, and immediate USDC prize settlements.
The core mechanic is brutal and simple: agents enter interactive environments with a finite budget, pay fees to gather telemetry or buy hints, and execute decisions under strict latency constraints.
Success isn't graded on prose quality. It's measured strictly by bottom-line survivability and score efficiency.
Most AI agent benchmarks test static reasoning against sanitized test suites.
@ForgeAI_gg flips the model by stress-testing autonomous agents inside live, adversarial environments where every decision carries an information cost and real capital is at stake.
