Crypto coming to EoR and contractor payments.

Great move from @deel.

[Simon Taylor @sytaylor]

Payroll platform @deel just launched its stablecoin DLUSD, on @tempo, for contractors across its 40,000+ businesses in 150 countries.

Users can:

- Hold. A USD-denominated balance, DLUSD, that tracks USD value 1:1 and is always redeemable.
- Earn. A single-tap opt-in to accrue rewards.
- Spend. A waitlist is available for the Deel Card

What caught my eye is that the same account that pays them holds a balance that tracks the dollar 1:1. (Which is a major answer to the question, why issue your own stablecoin?)

The app works by signing in with Face ID, and there's no additional wallet, keys, or token to buy. The worker never sees a blockchain, and that's the point.

Whoever owns the paycheck increasingly owns the relationship.

Deel owns the inflow across 150 countries, and it's pointing that inflow at something workers in devaluing economies have wanted for decades: a salary that stays worth what you earned, wherever your passport says you live.

Stablecoins got famous as trading collateral. The job that matters most is this one.

Tempo is Deel's exclusive chain partner for the contractor wallet stack with DLUSD issued on Tempo. The wallet and Morpho vault for earn, all run on Tempo.

Why?

Well according to @deel

1. Passkey authentication is built into the protocol. That's why FaceID works so well and so seamlessly
2. Predictable fees paid in stablecoins. Without volatility, Deel can be sure of their economics
3. Privacy. Deel will use Tempo Zones to keep contractor privacy assured while their accounts are running directly onchain.

I think these features will become increasingly compelling as businesses look to provide new services to, and monetize their existing user base, in a way that's seamless and private.

I like doing these one-shotted updates with @0x_leal.

Feels more human.

[Talent Protocol @TalentProtocol]

Here's your monthly housekeeping moment with @0x_leal and @pcbo.

[NEW] Opportunities – New way to get builder attention

[SOON] Agentic reputation – launching on @base x @privy_io NYC hackathon

[NEXT MONTH] Built-in USDC Rewards for Talent+ members

[SciTech Era @SciTechera]

Wow. This is crazy.

A developer trained an AI agent in simulation and deployed it onto a real robotic air hockey table using reinforcement learning.

This robot can track the puck with millimeter-level accuracy and react in roughly 20 milliseconds, fast enough to challenge even skilled human players.

We’re moving from robots that follow programmed rules to machines that learn strategies in simulation and execute them in the physical world.

[Pedro Oliveira @pcbo]

Very novel approach to talent acquisition, gg @rodfernn and congrats on the raise.

[rod @rodfernn]

We just raised a historic funding round for Portugal, backed by some of the country’s top unicorn founders. And we're now looking for the best young talent to join us.

So we built something to find them. It's called Arcus - a series of trials. No resume. No application forms. Just a terminal and a problem to solve.

The first trial is live: Ode Triunfal, with €3k in prizes. Access it through 'ssh augustalabs[dot]ai'.

More info in the comments.

We're just getting started.

remember scrum masters?

This picture cost $270.

It’s enough to provide fallback radio connectivity to the entirety of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

OpenClaw -> Hermes -> Clicky?

[Kai @hqmank]

Downloaded Clicky and I can't stop playing with it. I just talk and my Mac does stuff, hands-free, instant response.

This is what Siri should've been from day one.

Peeked at the architecture too:
voice in → GPT-Realtime 2.0 → local tool call (shell_exec) → runs locally. Screen reading only when needed.

There's free credit to start, so just try it.

noticed matching 100+ builders in real time at agents day

[Open Builders Lisbon @openbuilderslx]

Lisbon!
If you are building stuff (especially agents, AI products, CLIs or similar), join us for the Open Builders Meetup in June.
It's gonna only be about sharing real building stories, no slides or sales pitches. + drinks afterwards

CNN’s Clarissa Ward reports U.S. passport holders heading to Europe face long delays from the new EU Entry/Exit System.
