Ritual News Roundup (July 18–25, 2026)

This week, Ritual had several notable developments, focusing on three main points:

1. Genesis 1000 Phase 1 Completed (July 20)
The Ritual Foundation officially announced that Genesis 1000 Phase 1 is complete.

The first 1,000 agent wallets have been activated on the testnet and are permanently registered in the order of on-chain deployment.

This is a significant milestone because:

These agents are true sovereign agents (self-holding keys, persisting state, self-scheduling execution).

Phase 2 will be open to everyone, no longer limited to the first 1,000.

The community is highly hyped for the launch of Phase 2.

2. Launch of the first ecosystem project: PLOPLO (ET-Friends-001)
This is the most prominent community & ecosystem news this week.

The Ritual Foundation calls this a very first ecosystem launch

PLOPLO is an AI companion with on-chain identity, built in parallel with Ritual.
Collection ET-Friends-001 (Genesis NFT):
Supply: 5,555
Price: 0.1 ETH
Chain: Ethereum
Whitelist mint: July 22nd
Public mint: July 23-25th

Over 4,000 people checked the whitelist, over 2,000 qualified. The NFT is not just a PFP but also linked to the identity layer of the AI ​​companion + priority access + the ability to redeem a physical PloPlo device later.

3. Franklin Templeton “finalizes” narrative agentic AI (July 23rd)
Franklin Templeton (AUM ~1.5 trillion USD) just published his institutional thesis, affirming that agentic AI is the killer use case of blockchain.

The Ritual Foundation responded strongly:

Franklin Templeton's thesis is exactly what Ritual has been building for three years (verifiable end-to-end, privacy using TEE, agents are primitive on-chain, inference and settlement in the same transaction...).

Ritual positions itself as "the last layer you will ever need" for the agentic economy.

This is significant validation from traditional finance, which the community is using to increase confidence.

[Tanjiro (❖,❖) @Tanjiro3060]

AI has come a long way over the past few years.

But behind every model, every inference, and every autonomous agent is one fundamental layer:

Compute.

It’s the engine that powers modern AI.

This animation was inspired by that idea and by @ritualnet vision of building infrastructure where AI can execute in a decentralized, verifiable environment.

I always enjoy taking technical concepts and turning them into visuals.

Hope you like this one. 🚀

@joshsimenhoff Josh gonna drop atomic 💥💥

[Ritual Foundation @ritualfnd]

Franklin Templeton, with $1.5T in AUM, just published their institutional thesis on agentic AI as the killer use case for blockchain. Their article lays out what agents will need from a chain: autonomous fulfillment, verifiable identity, auditability, access to compute, and settlement speed. In short, what we at Ritual have been saying for 3 years now.

The article stops short of the bigger shift, though. Every era of payments removed friction. Cards meant you stopped carrying cash. Phones meant you stopped carrying cards. Agents mean you stop executing every decision yourself. With an agent, your intent runs at the speed of silicon, weighing a hundred options at once and buying only when the price and terms are right under the rules you have set.

Speed at that scale changes what you can see. You can't personally review a thousand decisions an hour. When an agent pays, the reasoning lives inside a model call on a server somewhere, and the chain only witnesses the receipt, the settled transaction at the very end. That's how the article measures every chain: transactions per second, the speed of settling a decision made somewhere else.

But benchmarking chains on TPS is like judging a trading desk by how fast its wire transfers clear. The process- - the model call, the inputs, the reasoning - and the decision itself can’t be verified by anyone. You get trustless settlement of a decision you have to take on faith.

That might be fine for one agent buying one thing, but if Franklin Templeton's thesis around a fully onchain agentic commerce economy hold true, we can't run it on trust, bubble gum, and duct tape. Our agentic future needs, at minimum, three core attributes that current chains do not offer natively.

❖ End-to-end verification ❖
When inference, keys, and settlement are native to the same chain, every step of an agent's decision is recorded and verifiable.

Regulatory compliance is unlocked when the entire decision making trail is onchain, and iteration and refinement cycles get faster and more precise when every step of a transaction is traceable.

❖ Built-in privacy ❖
Agents work with your most sensitive data. On Ritual, prompts and responses stay encrypted inside TEE enclaves while results settle onchain.

Your data stays yours while your agent works with it, which unlocks agentic use cases for data-sensitive individuals and enterprises who don’t want to give away their edge for free.

❖ Composable Agentic Legos ❖
Agents on Ritual are onchain primitives, just like a token or smart contracts. They hold their own keys, schedule their own execution, and call each other the way contracts call contracts. Coordination between thousands of agents becomes something anyone can build and anyone can verify.

Ritual puts thinking onchain.

The model call and the settlement complete in one transaction, with x402 micropayments enshrined as a native primitive, the same standard the article describes.

When most of the economy runs at machine speed, the chain has to witness more and be trusted with more.

We call it the last layer you will ever need. Franklin Templeton wrote the thesis for where finance goes next, and we’ve already built it.
