1/ Permissionless tokenized "stocks" are being sold as the future.

They are not. Many aren't even backed by underlying assets.

It's stocks before 1929 again but with smart contract wrappers.

We've run this experiment before and it ended badly for everyone.

Read on.

[Stacy Muur @stacy_muur]

Over the last 60 days, 94.4% of traders on @fomo lost money.

So it clearly isn’t as profitable as you think.

Out of the 5.6% who finished net positive:

→ 22,746 made <$100
→ 2,032 made $100–$500
→ 1,182 made more than $500
→ 74 made $5K+

So only ~0.25% of all traders made more than $500.

The high PnLs you constantly see on your timeline come from a tiny minority of traders. And a majority are still making a profit either by using copy traders or with insider info.

Either way, those screenshots don’t represent reality.

Today @NousResearch dropped Hermes Agent v0.21

This update moves Hermes from being a powerful assistant to an entire persistent team of agents you can schedule, supervise and who can work together

Bot Mode turns Hermes from one assistant into a roster of named specialists with their own memory, skills, faces, and group chats.

Now multi agent work finally looks like a team, not a pile of scripts

Bot to bot messaging (hermes peer) makes that team real as agents can hand work to each other by handle, and the conversation stays visible

- ~869k lines added, ~5,800 commits, 760+ contributors
- Bot Mode: named agents, group chats, mentions
- Bot to bot DMs across profiles and gateways
- Cron jobs that keep memory between runs
- Steer or stop subagents mid-run
- MCP Command Center
- Agent-controlled in-app browser
- Shareable plugin packs
- New providers + models including Qwen3.8-max and GLM-5.3-Flash

I am diving into Bot mode now on Hermes desktop as I want a fleet of my agents talking and working with each other

Every AI agent needs somewhere to think.

@createosai gives them ephemeral microVMs that spin up in 0.3ms p90 — fast enough that your agent doesn't wait, cheap enough to throw away when it's done.

Already powering GitHub Actions runners and Fortune 500 CI pipelines.

CreateOS is now #1 on the @computesdk sandbox benchmark. among 27 providers

Median P95 P99a
0.34s 0.38s 0.38s

Anyone can post a median. Almost nobody can post a P99 that close to it.

A lot of blood, sweat and sleepless nights from the team to get here. Special thanks to OG @bhautiktweets

And speed is the floor, not the pitch: p2p mesh, VPN, BYO-S3 disk, auto pause/resume and 10+ features

Cardano is heating up 🔥

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

JUST IN: Cardano and @Injective are now connected via @IBCProtocol on testnet.

Injective is the first chain with a live on-chain IBC rail to Cardano.

$ADA is coming to @Injective.
$INJ is coming to Cardano.

Both assets will be usable across the two ecosystems.

Zapper was the first other product rotki users were comparing us to.

Though it was a SaaS, it had a cool interface, was user friendly and we also learned a lot through it and pushed us to do better.

Sad to see it wind down. Building for retail users in crypto is brutal.

[The All-In Podcast @theallinpod]

J-Cal’s advice to founders: “If you partner with OpenAI or Anthropic, they will slit your throat and take your business wholesale. Don't trust them. Use your own models.”

“There is no free pizza. There's no free beer. When somebody like Sam Altman comes to you and says, ‘Here's some free tokens,’ your alarm should go off.

If you follow the Microsoft example, Lotus 1-2-3 and Word Perfect were their partners. They were replaced with Excel. They were replaced, obviously, with Microsoft Word. You don't even know those other two.

That's exactly what OpenAI has to do, and they have no choice but to do that now because they have a trillion-dollar market cap. They must win the application layer.

And Sam Altman went to Y Combinator and he said, ‘We'll give you $2 million worth of free tokens.’

And I came out and I said, ‘Listen, this is nothing personal against Sam. Sam's a very aggressive deal maker and he wants to get access to those startups because he knows, having run Y Combinator, that if he can get their innovations, those founders' latest thoughts about what's around the corner, he can incorporate them into the platform.’

Zuckerberg did the same thing. He said, ‘Hey, I'm going to give people a bunch of access, going to give them money. Come to the Facebook platform.’

Nobody who went to bed with Microsoft in the '80s, Facebook in the 2000s, or Sam Altman now in the 2020s did not wake up with their throat slit.

This is a message to founders. If you partner with any of these people, they will slit your throat and take your business wholesale.

There is nothing to discuss here. Don't trust them. Use your own models.”

Today, we’re launching the Avalanche Payments Collective.

Founding participants include Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Anchorage Digital, Paxos, Agora, Ethena, Rain, Axiym, Tassat, and others spanning the payments stack.

The Collective brings together companies spanning stablecoins, settlement, treasury infrastructure, foreign exchange, custody, card issuance, business payments, asset management, and global payouts.

Why?

Because the future of payments requires more than faster transactions.

Moving money globally requires liquidity, settlement, compliance, treasury management, custody, foreign exchange, and local payment networks working together as one. 🔺

28 leading organizations supporting payment flows across 150+ countries, 96 currencies, and ~22 billion payout endpoints are building on Avalanche.

Over the last several years, Avalanche has quietly become home to one of the industry's broadest payments ecosystems.

Now, that ecosystem has a name.

This is a *way* bigger deal than it seems...

Frontier AI companies will *never* own the frontier again

I kid you not... I've been waiting for someone to show this result for like 4 years... this is a huge deal.

The short reason: combinations of models will *always* outperform individual models

The long reason: this is the gateway to a million times more data... and huge leaps in compute efficiency.

The AI scaling laws always win.

Kimi 2.7 ranked 2nd after Fable 5 and before GPT-5 xhigh

We have re-run our ErdosBench smoke test on 14 problems with Kimi 2.7, Qwen 3.7 Max, Grok 4.3 and compared it with the top performers from previous runs.

Kimi 2.7 is amazingly good. More below.

If you enjoy similiar type of work from me consider participating in the @thedaofund x @Giveth 500 ETH matching round for Ethereum Security which is live until May 15.

It's quadratic funding, so smaller contributions are worth considerably more.

Currently a $10 donation is >$5K matched.

🚨🚨🚨 REMOVE ALL YOUR FUNDS INTEGRATED WITH LAYERZERO IMMEDIATELY!!!

LayerZero placed blame on KelpDAO saying they were irresponsible for running 1/1 DVN.

@Dune analyzed all LayerZero integrations.

Out of the 2,665 LayerZero integrations, 47% are running 1/1 DVN LayerZero integrations.

I am being 100% serious here—

REMOVE ALL YOUR FUNDS INTEGRATED WITH LAYERZERO IMMEDIATELY!!! 🚨🚨🚨

Congrats to @deepseek_ai team!

Doing the numbers I would estimate:

Pro &lt; $14m for the final training run
Flash &lt; $4m

Ratio of active params x total training tokens vs v3

Total compute costs (data prep, tuning, testing) ~10x that

Cost of taste: priceless
