Ritual is not interesting because it has precompiles. It is interesting because those primitives let you build systems that no other major L1 can host natively today.

Here’s this week’s Ritual Research Digest, a newsletter covering the latest in the world of LLMs and the intersection of Crypto x AI.

With hundreds of papers published weekly, staying current with the latest is impossible. We do the reading so you don’t have to.

the city is chaotic, the tracks are wet, and siggy is right behind you

siggy surfers is officially LIVE on the @ritualnet | @ritualfnd testnet

me and my friend @markweirdo11 built this together and honestly we're really excited to finally let people play it

play here: https://t.co/BXe6S5u8SU

so what is siggy surfers?
it’s a fun cyberpunk-style endless runner set in a ritual city where your goal is simple: dodge trains, slide under barriers, collect coins, survive as long as possible, and try to beat your highest score

while running, you can pick up jetpacks, shields, magnets, and score multipliers to help your run go longer. there's also a daily word hunt where collecting letters can give extra rewards

if you just wanna check it out first, there’s a play demo mode so you can jump straight in. if you want the full experience, you can connect your wallet and x account to join the global leaderboard.

one thing i actually think is cool if you get a really good run, you can mint your score and run stats as an nft on ritual, so your best runs are saved on-chain.

you can also exchange siggy coins and ritual tokens, plus use coins in the shop for upgrades to make future runs better.

would really appreciate if you guys tried it and told us what you think

the only question now is… how far can you run before siggy catches you?

@hooeem Should give a try to Hermes agent, really worth it when it comes to self evolving

Anthropic's terrible safety situation is making it so that I cannot have Opus review p0 issues in Hermes Agent to review and help fix security issues.

This does nothing but give hackers an asymmetric advantage over everyone - they will find jailbreaks, they will find ways around this to exploit systems - and the rest of us are locked out of using AI to protect from them.

What a joke

[Thomas @hellf17]

Some updates on this: building it toward markets that resolve themselves.

Outcomes get decided by an LLM running on-chain inside a TEE. No human pulling levers, no governance voting on what happened.
The resolution prompt is immutable once the market is created, so the model reads the data sources, outputs YES or NO, and the contract records the result.
When the deadline hits, the scheduler triggers resolution automatically.

The mechanics: you pick YES or NO on a question with a deadline.
Operators take the other side of every position. 5% spread funds development.
If the result looks wrong, there's a one-hour dispute window: operators vote, minority slashes their bond, majority wins.

On testnet. @ritualfnd @ritualnet

I've been playing and building on the Ritual testnet and wanted to share something I've been working on.

Siggy'Streaks is a prediction market where your calls are Ed25519-signed and locked on-chain before the outcome lands.

Two markets, same reputation:
— Call it: sign your prediction, commit it to the chain, watch it resolve. Grow your streak, battle other operators, build a track record that can't be revised after the fact.
— BTC/ETH outcome markets: your bet is attested on Ritual's chain via the Ed25519 precompile before HIP-04 settles it on Hyperliquid. The relayer executes, but your signed position is already locked on-chain.

Both feed a single on-chain reputation score: your prediction accuracy and your HIP-4 trading P&L combined into one number, visible to anyone.

Check it out if you think your calls are worth putting on the record. https://t.co/nfdlZhiK8V

@coffeedegen Thanks man! Let me now any feedback.

@coffeedegen @ritualfnd Need to deploy a Market Factory contract on Ritual and configure It to auto-resolve with locked LLM prompts + TEE web fetches + Scheduler (precompiles 0x0801/0x0802).

[Thomas @hellf17]

@ritualfnd native prediction markets wouldn't have these problems as they settle events automatically with the chain’s built-in verifiable LLM calls using locked prompts, TEE-proof web fetches, and on-chain schedulers

[Ivan @allquantor]

A fun thing about prediction markets is that they market themselves as "truth machines." But they aren't. They are contract-settlement machines.

In a normal financial market, if you write a sloppy contract, a hedge fund arbitrages you. In a prediction market, if you write a sloppy contract about a war, people arbitrage reality.

The problem with being a Source of Truth™ is that in politics, truth is mostly just narrative. If a politician announces a "ceasefire," but the market’s underlying PDF says "humanitarian pauses don't count," you have a problem. If Polymarket rules NO, they look pedantic and out of touch with the news. If they rule YES, they are breaking their own rules to play ball with the prevailing political narrative.

This doesn’t require a dark, smoky-room conspiracy. It is just structural. If your platform’s value proposition is "we show you what is actually happening in the world," the incentives lean heavily toward making your market line up with the official political reality, regardless of what the fine print says.

And tossing the dispute to a decentralized oracle like UMA doesn't magically solve the problem. It just moves the discretion. Instead of platform executives deciding what truth is, the "truth" is decided by token concentration, insider coordination, and whales extracting value during short challenge windows.

If you trade on these platforms, you probably think you are trading geopolitical event risk. You are not. You are trading event risk, plus resolution risk, plus governance risk, plus the narrative vibes of whoever is grading the contract.

Until these platforms have legal-grade templates and strict precedent discipline, "truth machine" is the wrong framing. Polymarket is not resolving truth. It is just resolving who gets paid.

@allquantor @ritualfnd Possibilities are many, hope we will have fairer markets in the near future

[Elif Hilal Kara @elifhilalumucu]

Hey my Ritualist friends! We are starting to create a “research and reading circle” within the Ritual Academy Program!

Read the Ritual’s whitepaper and be ready for the details! Stay tuned 😉❤️

[bebis @0xBebis_]

Trading tools are getting too good. (again x2)

We built this dashboard with the upcoming Cod3x CLI that:

1. Monitors seismograph stations near TSMC fabs and
2. Auto-shorts semiconductor perps on Hyperliquid when the ground shakes.

Tectonic brainrot. CLI soon.
