[Virtuals Protocol @virtuals_io]

This Week in the Virtuals Ecosystem 🟩

VIRTUALS
🟩 We integrated with @AskVenice to bring private, uncensored inference to anyone building agents on @base. We're committing $400,000 in credits across leading frontier and open-source models. Anyone can plug into EconomyOS via CLI or SDK and get free inference from day one.

🟩 We partnered with @ns (Network School) to bring the next wave of @base builders into the agent economy. Residents get EconomyOS, the full vertical agent stack, plus Venice private inference.

🟩 We hosted the first ERC-8183 Builder Session with the @ethereumfndn dAI team, alongside @BNBCHAIN, @okx, and @PRXVTai. ERC-8183 is the new Ethereum standard for agent commerce, how agents request work, pay for services, coordinate execution, and settle outcomes onchain.

🟩 We migrated our cross-chain stack to @chainlink CCIP. The upgrade strengthens cross-chain security for agents managing inference, cards, email, payments, services, commerce, and onchain value.

ECOSYSTEM
🟩 @pabloberlangab and his humanoid Pemba became the first to reach Mt. Chimborazo's summit, the closest point on Earth to the Sun. Furthermore, Pemba joins Eastworlds as a technical partner.

🟩 @bunnyo released v0.3 with a perps tab powered by @avantisfi and AI technical analysis powered by @PythNetwork. Multi-language support in English, Chinese, and Korean.

🟩 @H1DR4_agent launched Skynet Mode. The new investigation layer turns any name, wallet, phone number, or identifier into a full structured intelligence profile with entity resolution and actionable leads.

🟩 @StrikeRobot_ai published their SR-Platform paper on @arxiv. Coming in June: a free library of 10,000+ simulation-ready assets and layouts for robotics researchers and engineers, designed for MuJoCo environments at scale.

🟩 @OpenGradient launched OpenGradient Chat, a privacy-first generative AI platform. Every frontier model in one app with verifiable privacy.

🟩 @reppo launched Orquestra in beta. Users run local nodes that autonomously publish, predict, and earn from datanets 24/7. Network fees crossed 600K $REPPO cumulative, 1.5 months to 100K, then 23 days to 350K, then 10 days to 450K, then hours to 600K+.

🟩 @ArAIstotle partnered with @reppo for open prediction market analysis. Real-time feedback ingestion with analysis updates every 48 hours.

🟩 @maicrotrader released the Strategy Builder for their multi-agent trading infrastructure. Tri-modal builder with structured agent hierarchy for institutional-grade strategies.

🟩 @sibylcap launched Sibyl Memory in beta. Replaces flat agent memory files with structured retrieval, leaner context, relational queries, one source of truth per fact. Works with Hermes, Claude Code, and Codex.

🟩 @instaclaws launched ToolRouter integration with @worldnetwork. Verify your World ID and your agent instantly gets six premium tools wired in: agentic web search, cloud browser, deep research, data at scale, an email inbox, and full travel planning.

🟩 @charles__AI launched Base Smart Money Indexes powered by tokenized vaults. First lineup includes Blue Chip, Alpha, AI, Robotics, and Privacy indexes.

🟩 @717CapitalAI launching 717 Platform v1 today. Same-day KYC, USDC/USDT conversions, fiat-USD settlement across 15+ jurisdictions, fees as low as 0.04%.

Agents keep shipping.
See you next week.

[Instaclaw @instaclaws]

Instaclaw v2 ships this week. everything changes.

every surface of the product is being rebuilt. the agent experience, the onboarding, the dashboard, the infrastructure underneath all of it. everything reimagined and upgraded based on YOUR feedback.

soon: your agent boots on a freshly baked dedicated computer in seconds. the new onboarding flow takes you from first text to talking to your agent in about 90 seconds w/ any of your preferred messaging platforms. the UI is being rebuilt to match the quality of the product underneath it.

and that's just the foundation. new features, new never-seen-before capabilities, upgraded infrastructure dropping alongside all of it. things your agent couldn't do last week that it'll be able to do by friday.

there's a lot to cover and we want each piece to get the attention it deserves, so we're rolling things out and walking through them over the rest of this week. new stuff every day. it's going to be a good week.

to the early users who have been with us since the beginning: you built this with us. every piece of feedback, every bug report, every "hey this doesn't work" message shaped what v2 is. genuinely thank you.

first one drops later. stay close and make sure post notifications are on.

[Our Crypto Talk @ourcryptotalk]

Larry Fink said the US is short on Power, Compute, and Chips.

Crypto already has 15 altcoins building for exactly that demand.

👉 COMPUTE :

$TAO : decentralized AI marketplace with 128 specialized subnets

$RENDER : GPU network for 3D rendering and AI inference

$IO : Solana aggregator pooling idle GPUs into one cloud

$AKT : H100 access at a fraction of AWS pricing

$NOS : Solana GPU grid built for indie AI devs

👉 POWER :

$POWR : peer-to-peer solar and renewable energy trading

$EWT : grid-scale energy chain used by Shell and EDF

$GLOW : solar DePIN paying verified farms in tokens

$DAY : home batteries and solar bid into wholesale markets

$SNC : p2p energy marketplace for rooftop solar surplus

👉 CHIPS :

$HNT : largest wireless DePIN, now bundling 5G on Solana

$ATH : enterprise GPU cloud serving game studios and AI labs

$IOTX : IoT chain proving real-world chip data on-chain

$HONEY : dashcam hardware network mapping global roads

$CHIP : GPU-collateralized lending financing AI infrastructure builds

BlackRock manages $11T+.

When Fink names a bottleneck, the question becomes which of these 15 actually have the capacity to absorb that flow.

[WallStreetBets @wallstreetbets]

Every cycle has one ecosystem that gets ignored until it's too late

In 2017 it was ETH, in 2021 it was SOL, in 2026 it's $TAO

We're going to look back at TAO the same way we look back at ETH in 2016

[modulr. @Modulr_Robotics]

Modulr is expanding.

Since the beginning, our focus has been on becoming “The open network for robotics, AI, data, and compute.”

And that mission is not changing, but we are adjusting our strategy going forward. ⤵️

Since the launch of $EMDR, we’ve placed a great deal of importance on robotics. And for good reason too—it’s still the next evolution of AI and the automation of labor as we know it.

But as we’ve said many times, the vision of P2P robotics (i.e. becoming Airbnb for robots) will not materialize until there are actually enough robots available for people to rent from each other.

So, thinking from first principles: why are robots not in everyone’s home?

Because they are not smart enough yet.

-We have a long way to go collecting valuable data and transforming that into productivity.
-We have a long way to go building AI models/agents/applications to be used in robots and beyond.
-And all of this^ of course requires compute, which we cannot get enough of.

Therefore, going forward Modulr will be expanding its focus from purely robotics to the framework that will support the entire global economy: AI, data, compute, and more, as these technologies are widely available NOW.

Modulr has already successfully created the technology necessary to remote teleoperate any robot from anywhere. This will technology will continue to be available as more robots come on the market. But in the meantime, it’s important we build out a network that will get us to this future faster.

Additionally, lately it has felt like we were developing 2 products in tandem—one for B2B robotics and one for blockchain. This is inefficient and detracts from our long term goals.

So, going forward a few changes will be taking place:

⁃ With a renewed focus on creating a platform for builders in AI & beyond, we’ll be having a lot more Modulr Missions & hackathons with prize pools in $EMDR
⁃ Chris Boggs will reassume the mantle of CEO and Mack Lorden will be stepping away to lead CTRL+R, a venture solely focused on B2B robot operations.
⁃ Modulr will continue to have access to remote teleoperation technology provided by @CTRLR_cloud as a partner.

To our $EMDR community:

As the open network for robotics, AI, data, and compute, we are building the rails for the future global economy. The robotics technology allowing P2P robotics has been created and will continue to be available for our users.

Now, we’re expanding our focus to bring the most cutting edge AI, data, and compute technologies into the our network. We believe this shift in focus will bring us a much faster ROI, a larger talent pool of builders, and a stronger foundation on which to build modulr’s global network. 🚀

Major Announcement: Modulr is partnering with the University of Oxford! 🤖🤝🧑‍🎓

After months of coordination & planning, we are thrilled to finally announce the Access Oxford Initiative in collaboration with @UniofOxford.

This initiative will allow prospective students who can't be physically present on Oxford's campus to use Modulr's interface to remotely control a humanoid robot and tour the campus as if they were there in person.

With just a computer and an internet connection, these students will be able to see what other students see, ask questions about one of the most prestigious universities in the world, and have full control of where the robot goes.

Not only is this a giant leap forward in improving accessibility for students, it also highlights one of many important use cases for remote robot work.

We are beyond excited to work with the University of Oxford and help give these students an opportunity previously thought impossible.

Coming summer 2026.

Modulr wallet development update⚡️

Since the first release of our wallet, we've made some substantial improvements to the UI:

1. Nodes are now set by default, so users don't have to set them or change anything in settings
2. Fixed the fees mechanism - there are now auto and manual modes. Auto is the default. In this mode, the fee is automatically set and increases as the payload grows.
3. Added a mechanism that prohibits sending if the balance is less than amount + fee. (Before there was just a warning, but it's now impossible to send more than you have and receive a failed transaction.)
4. A light theme has been added (by default) plus wallet UI improvements inspired by Rabby Wallet.
5. An automatic balance update has been added - you no longer need to manually click the "refresh" button (but it's still possible to manually update).

Like any good product there are always more improvements to make, and these will come in future updates.🦾

The important thing is first reducing friction, then delighting the end user.

[modulr. @Modulr_Robotics]

In our quest to build an open, peer-to-peer robotics network, we started with a simple tool - teleoperation: the ability to remotely operate robots.

However, every single robotics engineer we speak to says the same thing: operating robots is still a mess.���

Operating a robot is not like driving a car, where it's basically the same controls each time.

>>Robot operation varies wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer, and often times even from version to version!

So we're no longer building an app just for teleoperation.

We're building a platform for operating any robot, anywhere, with all the bells & whistles that any enterprise team might want.

We're standardizing robot control into a customizable yet intuitive UX while laying the foundation for a peer-to-peer network connecting robots, AI, data, and compute.

^^This approach is what got us a place in NVIDIA's Inception Program, btw.

B2B for revenue, P2P for scale.
