The Venice announcement today is a huge win for builders in our ecosystem, but I’ve also been quiEtly woRking seCretly on something for months that means a lot to me. Hit a major milestone today and looking forward to sharing more soon.
Let's give credit where credit is due.
On @base there is one ecosystem truly focused on building long term infrastructure that scales the agentic economy onchain for the benefit of all and that is @virtuals_io.
Working hand in hand with @ethereumfnd (enjoyed this spaces, thanks @DavideCrapis and @sodofi_) to ensure the necessary legos i.e. ERCs are in place that seamlessly assemble to enable fine tuned, well oiled software and/or hardware machines.
250k agents have already registered their ERC-8004 (Trustless Agents) identities on EVM, and ERC-8183 (Agentic Commerce) is being plugged into Virtuals' shiny new Agentic Commerce Protocol V2.
Not widely mentioned yet, but if you look in the right places you might just find a particular project, launched a year ago on @virtuals_io, that co-authored the next banger ERC together with the Virtuals team.
Just yesterday it was just merged as final to the ERC standards repo, so expect to be hearing more about it soon, as it's something that gives ERC-8004 a lot more practical sense and unlocks trust to scale ERC-8183.
Even better, its token integrates with this utility.
LIVE: We are live with the @ethereumfndn dAI Team on why agent commerce matters, what ERC-8183 is, and who’s building the agent economy

New ATHs yesterday with @AntSeedAI hitting almost 3B tokens served on the day.
On the @AskVenice side of the business, looks like things might be getting real with a wstDIEM @liquid_launcher integration 👀
@mac_eth wouldnt certainly recommend that your token reflect the technical needs of your project
right now we have one migration model - could work with you to make it more specifically useful for your project!
Q: Do economics flow back to $LIQ at all?
A: Not yet! But if anyone knows me (@_proxystudio) or @m00npapi and our past work i would just say - there will certainly be economics for the token. That is how we plan to have our ownership stakes and exits from our work here is through ownership of the $LIQ token. There will be no other protocol token. I think that there are several obvious flywheels that once they’re producing more significant capital flows could be arranged.
Q: How big do you think @liquid_launcher could get?
A: I think if Liquid is involved with the tokenization of inference or involved in acquiring and stockpiling perpetual tokenized inference that the market goes from the 100s of millions to the billions. It’s a significant opportunity… We are speaking to the right people. We are in the right position right now to continue pursuing that.
Great thread on the topic to peruse with Liquid, Bankr, and Surplus all riffing on @liquid_launcher design ideas, many of which have in some way been implemented since.

yes! love this, original implementation of the diem-backed agents actually accumulated all DIEM at the protocol level, was a % of fees earned (the rest was kept in weth and either claimed by creator or auto-routed to agent treasury) and the protocol distributed compute up to certain thresholds based on agent "contribution" to that pool
trade offs, up and down the stack ofc, but i like both of these directions
I'm hearing that most people who know I've been talking about @liquid_launcher didn't actually read or attempt to understand any of the content.
They're about to get busy soon.
Hint: Minutes ago wstDIEM and supporting contracts were just deployed on @base
Think of token factories as bakeries, turning basic ingredients (data) into valuable pastries (tokens). But if the ingredients are stale, even the best bakery can't make them tasty. That's why data quality and security matter so much.
