Founder @LanarkLabs 🦇🌎 | Building the agentic commerce layer on Web4 for the AI economy

[jonesh.eth 🦇👦🏻 @Jonesh5_]

The next marketplace won’t be human-first.

It’ll be agent-first.

Humans decide.
Agents do the buying.

That’s agentic commerce.

@inesboutem @klaimee_ai Congrats, special to see this come to life!!

I’ll write your YC application.

It’s due Monday, July 27 at 8pm PT.

@paulg once wrote that most teams good enough for a YC interview blow the application because they fail to convey how good they are.

I want to change that.

I’ve talked one-on-one with more than 1,500 people who got into YC.

I’ve heard them work through ideas, change their minds halfway through an answer, and light up when we hit the thing they understand better than anyone else.

That’s what I want to find in your application.

Bring me a finished draft, half-written answers, or absolutely nothing. We’ll have one call. I’ll keep asking questions until we get to the good stuff, then send you a complete draft built from your answers.

If I love the idea, I’ll introduce you to a YC founder who understands what you’re building. I know enough of them to find the right person.

If they believe in you too, they can choose to recommend you directly to YC.

It’s also free.

What are you building? Tell me in the comments and I’ll send you the details

If you’re in stealth, just reply “YC.”

Ecopetrol framing the "The Gentlemen" group incident as a successful ransomware mitigation is peak risk-alignment failure.

When 3,300 corporate identities across 15 subsidiaries are fully exfiltrated, blocking the final stage execution payload is operationally irrelevant. The exfiltration includes explicit structured environments mapping:

User IDs & Display names
Usernames & Password hashes
Email addresses
Registration timestamps & Account activation keys

Breaching 15 subsidiaries 48 hours before the World Cup final wasn't random, it was highly tactical. Movements like this drop under the radar. If your infrastructure doesn't enforce strict tenant isolation and treat cross-cloud directory exposure as a total architectural compromise, your security posture is just a reactive gamble.

Legacy network defense is done. Time to secure the root attack vector 🗡️

@DavidPawlan Feels like the early days of the internet. Lots of experimentation, but you can already see where it’s heading

🚀The future of wholesale isn’t manual

It's driven by AI agents. Lanark is creating a marketplace where users search for products, trade, and settle in USDM on Celo.

Beta is opening soon.

If you’re a wholesale buyer or supplier, comment “BETA” below to join the priority list.

[jonesh.eth 🦇👦🏻 @Jonesh5_]

@OdiwuorAlvin Exactly. We won’t be clicking through marketplaces forever. We’ll express intent, and agents will handle cart, negotiation, and checkout.

@marketersweb3 Growth incentives work. The challenge is keeping users after rewards fade. Trust, product value and community drive real retention

Long-term retention is achieved by providing value, with consistent execution, and a community that believes in the project's direction.

🚨 TODAY: MoonPay launches MoonAgents, a desktop app that lets AI agents move value, onramp stablecoins with zero fees, and run automations, now available on macOS.

[Base @base]

"Built on Base"

[Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️ @CoinbaseDev]

The biggest shift in payments right now is AI agents moving from an “interesting use case” to potential primary drivers of global stablecoin volume. 🚀

Thanks to x402, non-custodial wallets, and Coinbase’s Facilitator infrastructure, developers can now build payment flows for humans and agents alike. ↓

AI should dramatically increase quality of life and individual freedoms for people around the world.

Excellent reporting by @MTemkin at @TechCrunch on how AI companies are inflating revenue by reporting CARR as ARR.

Please retweet so that we can get back to reality and permanently kill CARR as a valuation anchor. Delusion is not good for anyone.

"One VC told TechCrunch that he has seen companies where CARR is 70% higher than ARR, even though a significant chunk of that contracted revenue will never actually materialize."

“Investors can’t call it out,” a VC told TechCrunch. “Everyone has a company monetizing CARR as ARR.”

The biggest thing that has surprised me since my tweet went viral was the amount of nervous, sheepish laughter from VCs on the topic:

"Haha... Oh, I'm not sure if it's that big a deal 🙂"

While other VCs say privately:

"We see this constantly and it's becoming a serious problem."
