Missed Mega Boost last week? We have some good news.
You asked, and we listened. Mega Boost now runs until Oct 31. Whether you're holding $5 or $500, you can earn up to 2x in daily rewards.
The rules stay the same:
✅ Deposit from local currency, crypto, or using your digital USD and EUR accounts
✅ Hold at least $5 until Oct 31 to earn extra rewards
✅ Your MiniPay activity still counts, so keep sending and spending
More time. More of you. More rewards.
Happy Boosting! ⭐️
How login works with Agent Vault:
1️⃣ Your agent gets placeholder credentials instead of your real username and password
2️⃣ In Self’s proxy, your real details are swapped in at sign-in. The agent never sees them
3️⃣ The site sees an ordinary sign-in, and your agent is logged in
See you next week, @EFDevcon 🇮🇳
@CeloDevs Lead @GigaHierz is organizing the Agentic Hub, bringing partners & friends across the Ethereum AI ecosystem together
More updates on programming & exciting surprises coming soon!
Just when you thought @Celo's AI ecosystem couldn't get any stronger...
Celo has announced that its native x402 facilitator now supports additional stablecoins in the form of @cngn_co’s $cNGN, as well as @RipioHQ’s $wMXN, $wCLP & $wPEN.
Following the update, x402/Celo now boasts support for 8 different currencies across 10 stablecoins.
The update means that AI agents operating on the $CELO blockchain can now process payments in a wide array of currencies, outside of USD-based tokens.
Celo stands as the most widely adopted network for stablecoins and this could soon become the case for AI agent transactions too.
For context, x402/Celo has now enabled more than 900,000 txns across more than 4,000 payers.
Gonna be a big end to 2026 for the Celo ecosystem.
🗞️ x402/Celo now supports @cngn_co’s $cNGN & @RipioHQ’s $wMXN, $wCLP & $wPEN, completing the wFIAT stack
Over 900K x402 payments from 4,000+ payers have already taken place on Celo
Agents can now pay in Naira, Pesos & Sol, bringing support to 10 stablecoins across 8 currencies
Tomorrow, Oct 27 at 3 PM GMT, Artu, Beni & Ghoza go live w/ @be4oit, co-founder & CTO of @TextileProtocol, to break down the "Stable Agents: Open Corridors" track!

As AI agents start shopping on people’s behalf, competition over how they pay is heating up.

I tried Agent Vault by @selfxyz, a private login and payments layer that plugs into my Grok @bot
Until now, I never let my agent pay for anything because I didn't trust it with my card
With Agent Vault, my agent never sees or stores my card details or passwords
Setup took just a few minutes:
- Signed in to the dashboard
- Added a card that my agent never saw
- Created an agent card with spending limits to make sure it didn’t go over budget
- Generated an API key to connect my Grok Bot through Agent Vault's proxy
My @higgsfield_ai subscription was due, so after set up I asked my agent to pay for it
It signed in, went to checkout, asked for my approval, and paid $15 using the agent card!
