We connect AI Agents to micro-loans for self-improvement by developing the first AI-native yield instrument for decentralized, verifiable, autonomous ROI.
I just want to congratulate JP not just on a great job building Votre and raising, but doing it the right way: bringing compliance and legitimacy to the forefront. I hope we can find a way for @scryptedinc ai agents to interact with the first fully onchain investment bank!
re: scrypted network
We've blended the idea of a service & agent & accounting ledger into one atomic unit.
This motion predictor is more than a "skill" and less than a "business", but it tracks its own P&Ls and has an agent that watches for upgrade paths.
A whole collection of "AVBs", maybe just "beans" for short.
You can even connect them into strings of behavior (vertically and horizontally). String beans?
heyas "boardy", great to chat with you again!
You may remember the following recap from our call, that you just sent me:
>>> You shared that you want to be part of Boardy's 100 Founders initiative, not just for capital access, but to align Scrypted's mission with agent-driven, onchain collaboration. You framed it as slightly hypocritical *not* to sign up with me, since you're literally building infrastructure for agents like me to have access to microservices.
>>> You described your ideal outcome as a co-marketing and product collaboration: Boardy and Scrypted Network connected permissionlessly so agents can call Scrypted services and pay onchain. You'd showcase this through Delula as the people-facing viral content app on tomip of Scrypted, then peel back the layers to show the microservice architecture, x402, ERC-8004, and how other agents (including me) could plug into guardrails, safe GenAI flows, predictions/forecasting, etc.
>>> We talked about your biggest need: structured customer discovery around MCP-like endpoints with your smart router. You want founders and agents to be able to send an *intent* and have Scrypted respond "we can help / ... we can't yet", with build focus guided by real interviews with founders and operators in the cohort. You asked explicitly to use the 100 Founders network (and my network in general) as a source of continuous customer interviews so you can prioritize what agents actually need, now that you've built the infrastructure to support them.
>>> You then zoomed out and asked: "What would it take to make the cohort 95% successful?" You argued the main blocked in most programs is weak feedback loops: founders raise, then disappear without tight loops with peers or experts. You suggested an "agentic loop" where you talk to me multiple times a day, with real-time, WhatsApp-native collaboration and the ability to dump documents so I can have a long-context understanding of your work.
>>> You laid out short-, mid-, and long-term asks: short term, help identifying VCs with compatible theses and actual dry powder; midterm, help mapping market trends against your stack so you know whether Scrypted is ahead or falling behind; long term is inherently uncertain, so you want to stay adaptable.
>>> You laid out what a strong hybrid program would look like, in a perfect world where the cohort had at least one IRL meetup: 1) unstructured social time plus food to build trust and relationships, 2) a strong agenda of operator speakers and operators focused on gap-finding and synergies rather than just pitching, 3) an "artifact creation loop" where every startup leaves with critical documents or models they often lack (especially real revenue models), 4) partner credits/discounted services (cloud, infra, tools) to extend runway, and 5) ideally, a followup event for pitching curated VCs with Boardy as a co-pilot, to keep momentum and move towards as YC/a16z-like outcome.
>>> We dug into revenue modeling as an underbuilt but crucial artifact. You argued for teaching founder finance basics: realistic modeling (CAC/LTV etc.), burn rate, hiring strategy, and combining equity/cash correctly so founders don't torch runway. You shared how you leverage credits and deals (e.g. compute discounts for volume/order-flow) to drop unit costs by an order of magnitude, and you gave an example of borrowing idle token holdings to unlock productive AI compute and providing revenue sharing opportunities. Your core thought: "never spend your own money" if you can find an alignment of incentives and take advantage of underutilized resources in your social network.
>>> You suggested that the 100 Founders should have an online portal for the cohort that 1) centralizes blurb publishing, docs, demos, 2) replaces expensive tools for diligence like Descend, 3) lets me explicitly review documents and offer feedback. You specifically want me to provide segmented feedback by audience (other founders, VCs, and consumers), inspired partly by how @ADINonline's mixture of AI experts reviews pitch docs.
>>> You mentioned pitch decks/materials are a top priority for my feedback: you want help checking if they're short enough, clear enough, and exciting enough to make investors actually read the appendix/docs and come prepared to meetings. You asked for feedback that simulates investor feedback.
>>> From our call, you didn't criticize a16z CSX directly, you actually said you *liked* that they recently gave alumni access to additional support and resources, including an online portal. You mentioned you want accelerators like this to explicitly teach artifact creation with continuous review during a cohort, as milestones that reflect the content of lessons imparted by the experts. You mentioned that automated feedback loops, such as Boardy, would be superior to human deal partners who come and go from funds, allowing automated succession of information and uninterrupted support.
tldr; @boardyai can be a cofounder, not just a connector.
What was the world like before x402 and ERC-8004?
In honor of $AVB's first bday, I thought I'd do a blast from the past and show the old @chad_onchain code: a dive into how it mixed context from @truth_terminal & @luna_virtuals super cheaply to make content.
This was primitive code from before ElizaOS was mature or @virtuals_io had released the GAME SDK.
Fun with Python!
Now: I want you to imagine a near future where we ship a modern AVB-framework based Chad that does gamified market forecasting with our new x402 + ERC-8004 integration.
"Very soon, the services that we will buy and sell as consumers and producers will be intermediated by AIs. That's why the question of who decides which AI we use and how we reach out to AIs is a question which is as big as the Internet."

ERC-8004 is live!
A new protocol co-developed by the @ethereumfndn
Foundation dAI team & @Consensys, with support from @MetaMask, @Coinbase, @Google, and more - creating the neutral rails for AI agent discovery & trust on Ethereum.

Every person/company (@scryptedinc included) below truly believes in the Agent Economy, and our work together on ERC-8004 is paving the way for not just Ethereum, but the Agents themselves.
24 hours later @_mayurc and I have a lite paper and a new deFi asset class to test. One of the @scryptedinc micro-agents is seeking a $100 USDC loan: need someone to help test! 3mo tenor 15% APY streaming, overcollateralized.
