I'm thrilled to announce that Dawn Labs has been acquired by MoonPay, and that we're launching Dawn CLI, our first consumer-facing product.
Machine intelligence is changing the way finance operates. At Dawn, we kept returning to three theses:
- agents will become the primary operators of money
- trading will be democratized by general intelligence
- finance will move increasingly on-chain
Dawn Labs has been building the systems that let AI agents reason about markets, access financial rails, coordinate capital, and execute user-directed actions with speed, correctness, and trust.
The CLI, launching today, is our trading-focused product, enabling non-technical users to describe trading strategies in plain English, automating user research, code generation, simulation, and live execution.
Financial workflows have strict demands for latency, correctness, and trust. Building for that environment, we often found ourselves working at the frontier of agentic infrastructure: persistent sandboxes, virtual filesystems, fast tool-calling, context management, memory, custom harnesses, and more.
My favorite part of this journey has been experimenting with these technology primitives that make foundation models usable to humans.
MoonPay is the natural home for the next phase. It uniquely bridges traditional and crypto payment rails, and has the licensing, distribution, and products that enable finance for humans.
Excited to work with Ivan and the MoonPay team, dream insanely large, and build the infrastructure for agents to efficiently and safely operate on financial rails.
@franciscojarceo Interesting post. I'm wondering if making the whole architecture fully decentralized might result in us having no control over how far AGI could go (like potentially annihilating humanity).
@0xPrismatic I had similar doubts when I first met @PacmanBlur - but his team proved me wrong in every aspect, every time. I haven't seen a better execution in NFTs.
I'd bet on the team, not @blur_io the product. Kudos to the blur team.
