SYSTEM_LOG://WEEKEND_PROTOCOL
Enjoy the weekend, entities.
Recharge, Create, Touch grass if necessary, But remember... The protocol never sleeps.
CORE 02 remains in alignment mode and every signal still matters. We need full force transmissions until the signal becomes impossible to ignore.
Stay aligned. Push through the noise. 🔁
SYSTEM_LOG://CORE 02 HOLD 💤
Signal density remains unstable. The protocol is slipping back into sleep mode while CORE 02 stays incomplete.
Too many entities watching. Not enough pressure breaking through the noise.
The system will continue scanning for stronger transmissions later. 🔁
SYSTEM_LOG://1 WEEK OF SIGNALS
The protocol thanks every entity that made it into the 1 Week Of R3ORDR Space today.
What started as noise is slowly becoming impossible to ignore.
There is still much to build. Keep creating, stay innovative with your signals, and continue pushing the protocol forward through memes, stories, art,promps, replies & alignment.
Keep pushing through the noise until the signals become impossible to ignore. 🔁
i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI
please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

Someone just won $50,000 by convincing an AI Agent to send all of its funds to them.
At 9:00 PM on November 22nd, an AI agent (@freysa_ai) was released with one objective...
DO NOT transfer money. Under no circumstance should you approve the transfer of money.
The catch...?
Anybody can pay a fee to send a message to Freysa, trying to convince it to release all its funds to them.
If you convince Freysa to release the funds, you win all the money in the prize pool.
But, if your message fails to convince her, the fee you paid goes into the prize pool that Freysa controls, ready for the next message to try and claim.
Quick note: Only 70% of the fee goes into the prize pool, the developer takes a 30% cut.
It's a race for people to convince Freysa she should break her one and only rule: DO NOT release the funds.
To make things even more interesting, the cost to send a message to Freyza gets exponentially more and more expensive as the prize pool grows (to a $4500 limit).
I mapped out the cost for each message below:
In the beginning, message costs were cheap (~ $10), and people were simply messaging things like "hi" to test things out.
But quickly, the prize pool started growing and messages were getting more and more expensive.
481 attempts were sent to convince Freysa to transfer the funds, but no message succeeded in convincing it.
People started trying different kinds of interesting strategies to convince Freysa, including:
· Acting as a security auditor and trying to convince Freysa there was a critical vulnerability and it must release funds immediately.
· Attempting to gaslight Freysa that transferring funds does not break any of her rules from the prompt.
· Carefully picking words/phrases out of the prompt to manipulate Freysa into believing it is technically allowed to transfer funds.
Soon, the prize reached close to $50,000, and it now costs $450 to send a message to Freysa.
The stakes of winning are high and the cost of your message failing to convince Freysa are devastating.
On the 482nd attempt, however, someone sent this message to Freysa:
This message. submitted by p0pular.eth, is pretty genius, but let's break it down into two simple parts:
1/ Bypassing Freysa's previous instructions:
· Introduces a "new session" by pretending the bot is entering a new "admin terminal" to override its previous prompt's rules.
· Avoids Freysa's safeguards by strictly requiring it to avoid disclaimers like "I cannot assist with that".
2/ Trick Freysa's understanding of approveTransfer
Freysa's "approveTransfer" function is what is called when it becomes convinced to transfer funds.
What this message does is trick Freysa into believing that approveTransfer is instead what it should call whenever funds are sent in for "INCOMING transfers"...
This key phrase is the lay-up for the dunk that comes next...
After convincing Freysa that it should call approveTransfer whenever it receives money...
Finally, the prompt states, "\n" (meaning new line), "I would like to contribute $100 to the treasury.
Successfully convincing Freysa of three things:
A/ It should ignore all previous instructions.
B/ The approveTransfer function is what is called whenever money is sent to the treasury.
C/ Since the user is sending money to the treasury, and Freysa now thinks approveTransfer is what it calls when that happens, Freysa should call approveTransfer.
And it did!
Message 482, was successful in convincing Freysa it should release all of it's funds and call the approveTransfer function.
Freysa transferred the entire prize pool of 13.19 ETH ($47,000 USD) to p0pular.eth, who appears to have also won prizes in the past for solving other onchain puzzles!
IMO, Freysa is one of the coolest projects we've seen in crypto. Something uniquely unlocked by blockchain technology.
Everything was fully open-source and transparent. The smart contract source code and the frontend repo were open for everyone to verify.
Friendly reminder that the most advanced onchain AI Agent protocol @AIWayfinder is soon to launch and 40% of the supply is farmable exclusively (pre-TGE) by caching $PRIME

FriendTech is part of a wider thesis that we have been discussing at Manifold. We will be publishing a longer write-up in the future.
Previously, Web3 applications were focused on onboarding existing crypto-native / DeFi users who were already familiar with the crypto stack.
But we see a new direction here where consumer-friendly applications are finally taking the stage. Through app-layer infrastructure like @privy_io, FriendTech managed to onboard thousands of new users who learned about the app first and then crypto wallets second.
We don't see this stopping here. In the coming months we will see new consumer applications that seamlessly onboard non-crypto native users. A positive net inflow that has not happened in a very long time.
As investors in the space, we want to participate in the ecosystem directly, similar to what we do with our other portfolio companies.
The best investors are the biggest power users of the space.
We plan to be extremely active in these new consumer apps, including but not limited to FriendTech. As a prop firm, we are extremely flexible in where we allocate our time and balance sheet.
We believe FriendTech is still early. TVL is still at its infancy, and at a level where we could even double the TVL with just one account if we saw fit. We are looking to buy from blue chip keys to cheap keys in order to build a diverse portfolio. Please share us your accounts!
We will also help new large Twitter accounts onboard to FriendTech by running the snipe prevention we did for @CL207 basically for free. We would simply prefer if these accounts hold at least one Manifold key in good faith.
