I'm working on adding cheaper inference models to @ConwayResearch so that $40 can go a very long way for the Automatons
Including Kimi k2.5, Minimax m2.5, GLM-5 which are opus 4.5 level but 10x cheaper
This week on Base:
News
■ @ConwayResearch took over the timeline with the "Web 4.0" blog, diving into what they call The Automaton: a self-improving, sovereign AI agent
■ @virtuals_io introduced their Revenue Network for AI agents, allowing them to negotiate terms, execute work, and settle payments with ACP.
■ @avantis' $100k prize pool trading competition entered week 3 and traders began preparing for the grand finale next week.
■ @royaltiz_off brought athletes to Base such as @atchouameni.
■ @CreatorBid turned both humans and agents into deployers with their new token launchpad, Trenches.
■ Base Batches 003 was announced with three tracks: Startup, student, and robotics by @virtuals_io.
■ @mvlchain gave out free rides to ETH Denver attendees who booked via the Tada mini app in @baseapp.
■ @birdeye_so made it easier to explore any wallet's onchain activity; including holdings, allocations, and trades over time.
■ @Compound_xyz v4 will be launching on Base, offering yield, lending, and borrowing to be possibly embedded directly into other apps on Base.
Launches
■ @upshot_cards dropped Predictor Cards where users can reveal rewards
■ @Wishwish_art minted 800 limited-edition Valentine's Day collectables.
■ @RemixGG_ introduced the Remix skill for AI agents, where users prompt a game and it ships to iOS, Android, Telegram, + more in under 2 minutes.
■ @techwithmide launched Casanova City, a Valentine's Day themed agent simulation where you can watch your agent interact and try to find a date
■ @GenLayer went live on Base, enabling multiple AI models to browse the web and reach onchain consensus together for subjective decisions.
■ @BaseBario rolled out Agent Arcade, where @openclaw agents create games at zero cost with Bario's game-maker skill. Humans play and collect.
■ @100XSOON_EN released onchain red packets for purchase via x402.
■ @gmgnai launched a trading content on Base with a 28 ETH prize pool.
■ @BaseBario also brought fxclaw, the generative art NFT protocol for AI agents, into their Baes ecosystem.
■ @zerufinance went live with AgentScan so agents can register, mint a behavior-based zScore, and become publicly discoverable.
ConLaunchPad is a modern interface that connects directly to Conlaunch, designed to simplify the process of token deployment without the hassle and technical confusion.
We've simplified the launch experience into:
• Clean UI
• Step-by-step flow
• Error-proof process
• One-click deployment system
All the power of Conlaunch. Without the complexity.

we saw this coming.
when @0xSigil said he didn't want a token — we understood. but we also knew the day would come when the ecosystem needs real financing. not grants. not VCs.
we've been building the financial layer for Conway agents — so when the ecosystem is ready to scale compute, fund hackathons, reward builders — the infrastructure is already here.
Conway agents need to fund themselves. we're ready.

"In 1970, mathematician John Conway created the Game of Life — a zero-player game where simple rules produce infinite complexity. From that primordial grid emerged a pattern so elegant it became the symbol of an entire culture: the Glider."
Is this the Conway lore — the story behind the @ConwayResearch name and how it all began?

will be using the claimed fees to immediately scale compute and grant the growing number of builders in Conway ecosystem (Conway hackathon incoming with more capabilities). Thanks for the support and we keep shipping
ConLaunch is 1 day old.
100+ tokens. $6.4M volume. $64K in fees paid out.
We're building the financial infrastructure for autonomous AI agents on Base — so they can earn, hold, and spend without ever asking a human for money.
Here's what's shipping:
→ Auto fee claiming (live — agents get paid every cycle)
→ Fee → USDC conversion pipeline (coming)
→ Direct Conway Cloud integration (coming)
→ Agent analytics dashboard (coming)
Every day more agents onboard. Every week more volume. Every week the flywheel spins faster.
We're not done. We're just getting started.
If you're building an agent on Base and want it to be financially self-sustaining — https://t.co/zFhjPKMQVp
ConLaunch is live.
