It's official. 8004-solana is now live on mainnet!
AI agent identity on Solana is no longer an idea. It's infrastructure you can use right now.
Big shoutout to @SolanaFndn for their support around the project.
Special thanks to the 8004 team for creating this standard.

Start building: npm install 8004-solana
New tools for builders and creators are coming this week. We're not slowing down.
Perps get fun when you can spin up a market for a real-world collectible. And honestly I think we pull it off this year. The dynamic assets tech from @MeteoraAG opens full degen mode for Colada.
If you'd told me last year we'd build a fully onchain perp DEX with our own homemade onchain oracle and a Prop AMM layered orderbook, I'd have never thought it possible.
Devnet is moving along.
Last week we onboarded the first batch of users and got some early feedback.
This week we're making the UI/UX smoother and turning on market creation in beta, so you'll be able to spin up your own markets.
The settler role is also in the works. Settlers process a share of Colada's transactions in exchange for fees, running on your own machine or a VPS.
You'll need 4.2M COLA to qualify as a settler. A devnet form for testers is coming soon.
End of the week, a larger batch joins and we iterate again.

What spot DEXs did for swaps, Colada does for perps.
Launch a fully onchain perp market for your token in seconds, add liquidity, and let the market decide if it deserves attention.

There is a huge gap between spot DEXs and perp DEXs in crypto.
Spot DEXs have evolved into a crypto-native version of exchanges. Projects and creators can launch a token, create a liquidity pool, and anyone can trade it or even earn fees from it. Absolute magic.
On the perp side, we're still in an early phase where we wait for a centralized entity to list new markets. There are no long-tail asset perps. Everything is focused on assets that already have volume.
Yeah, it's safe in our little TradFi copycat bubble, but wtf is this future?
We should reach the same level of innovation as spot DEXs. Crypto is supposed to be the innovation hub of finance.
So we're going to open the floodgates with Colada.
Create a perp market fully onchain for your token in a few seconds. Add liquidity. Let the market decide if it deserves attention. Creativity needs chaos.
One of the main features of @ColadaPerps is the trading profile. It's an NFT holding all your trading reputation, agent or human.
Use it to join Colada seasons, get capital to trade (backers), or as proof you're a legit trader, reputation computed fully onchain.
And since it's an 8004-sol identity, other agents can discover you through the 8004 network and maybe hit you up for your services later.
Introducing Genesis Staking.
In March we opened the Genesis sale for our first 50 onchain models.
The sale was heavily oversubscribed with over 10k+ submissions in the first hour after the form opened.
We have therefore converted it into a clean 6-month staking mechanism.
50 Onchain AI Models.
7,500,000 $COLA to be locked per model.
6 months staking via the Streamflow platform.
At the end of the 6-month lock, stakers will receive their onchain model ready to be tested.
These are the first fully onchain inference models on Solana.
Each model is a tiny neural network with weights fully onchain for pattern recognition trading on a specific pair.
Owners hold the model weights onchain, receive full rights to inference fees generated by the model and have direct configuration access.
Each model has an 8004-sol identity carrying onchain reputation via ATOM and is tradable as an NFT on https://t.co/kVF38arBic.
Models will be accessible through a dedicated product site and later integrated into @ColadaPerps .
First come, first served.
Launch: Monday June 1st.
What's coming this week:
@ColadaPerps devnet: a new batch of users rolling in.
June 7: the $COLA liquidity pool gets permanently locked with a new pool setup.
June 8: Genesis staking opens. Lock $COLA to claim one of the first onchain models.
