More ways for AI agents to access crypto data efficiently! 🔥

Our team shipped CoinGecko MCP, x402 API, and now the CoinGecko CLI.

AI needs reliable, structured crypto data to do useful things. If you're building AI agents in crypto, @coingecko API should be your data layer.

[CoinGecko @coingecko]

Running crypto AI agents just got 200x more efficient & powerful 🔥

Introducing the CoinGecko CLI — a free, open-source terminal for real-time crypto market data, built for AI agents (such as @openclaw, Claude Code) & developers. #BuildwithCoinGecko

This is amazing news! I was sad that Farcaster died off after the Neynar acquisition. With a new strong parent, there is a chance of a revival and to build out this vision of a decentralized social network. Excited to see what Balaji and team at Network School can do here!

[The Block @TheBlockCo]

THE BLOCK: Balaji Srinivasan’s Network School is acquiring Farcaster from Neynar, less than nine months after Neynar took it over.

Rebranded as the Network State Protocol, it will introduce AI moderation and proof of humanity to "build a network of opt-in digital societies which ultimately gets printed out in the physical world."

The end of an NFT era. We are back to OpenSea and have flushed out the leverage in Blur/Blend. This comes after shutting down Blast. NFT still has a role to play but will be different from what we have seen previously

[Blur @blur_io]

1/ The https://t.co/zPQ1jqR7pT frontend will be deprecated on November 12, 2026.

This deprecation only applies to the frontend.

The Blur marketplace protocol will remain operational on-chain, and $BLUR will continue to control its fee switch.

F1 is way better on TV. Even if you watch it at the circuit, you still end up watching the TV to figure out what is going on.

Getting out of the circuit is a massive pain with the human traffic. And not to mention if it rains, you will be all wet in a poncho unless you are on paddock/grandstand tickets.

The race yesterday was so boring, I shut off my TV halfway through. We need more exciting races like Sepang

[mert @mert]

F1 might be the greatest scam of the decade

Totally unwatchable IRL, 50x oversupplied for paddock tickets who are just random IBM and Oracle employees, and full of new environment propaganda

Really sad to read about the CryptoBilis incident, an authorised Ledger retailer that ended up selling tampered Ledger devices. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

Imagine buying a hardware wallet to protect your crypto, only to end up losing your funds because the device was compromised 😢

I’ve never been comfortable buying hardware wallets from resellers, even authorised ones. There’s always an additional supply chain risk.

My personal rule is to only buy directly from the manufacturer’s official website to reduce the risk of retailers tampering the devices.

@0xMarcB @sandeepnailwal Yup 👍

Alright - met @sandeepnailwal at Token2049 and shared my thoughts directly with him. He apologised for his team dancing on other people’s grave. Hopefully more thoughtful tweets in the future

[Bobby Ong @bobbyong]

Sandeep - just ask your Marketing team to delete the tasteless tweet. The fact that it's not deleted means you are condoning such engagement bait. There are plenty of other better ways to get attention and grow Polygon - this is not one of them

Been speaking to founders over the Token2049 week and we share some war stories of surviving the bear market the past one year. One common theme that came out is about strengthening the core and shutting down non-core projects. At the end of the day, success comes from doing a few things incredibly well.

Singapore peak hours traffic during F1 week is like KL or Bangkok traffic

[Sandeep | Polygon @sandeepnailwal]

I think this didn't land as expected and people conjured up completely different meaning from it. TBH, even When I first saw it my morning in SGP, I was like, "WTF?"

Apparently, Marketing team was making a joke on ourselves because there are some people who always say Polygon is dead, while the fundamentals on Polygon are up and to the right.

There was absolutely no intention to subtweet the Abstract shutdown. I have huge respect for @LucaNetz and his work, and we wouldn't do this because we ourselves sunset our zkEVM, so we know the pain. I hope it clears the air.

All the best to Luca and Pengu team, I continue to cheer for them as ever. Luca is one of the best entreprenuers of the industry.
