Important update on our decentralization efforts!๐ธ
We've separated our @TalusFoundation and Labs teams. So, the account, @Talus_Labs is now live and will be the NEW home for ALL updates, products, & community news!
Please follow that account to stay connected & not miss out ๐
The real opportunity the AI economy presents will be from building the tools & infrastructure that power the AI-assisted workforce
If agents rely on your tool to do their job, you've found monetization and a revenue stream
Sell the agentic shovels in the digital labor gold rush
They never tell you the most difficult part of building in crypto isn't learning about decentralization, smart contracts, etc.
It's getting everyone on your team to remember to use the testnet faucet so your engineers can actually progress their testing every day
The future of AI is a massive, modular agentic ecosystem, not a singular model from any one company.
Every registered tool becomes a Lego piece in complex workflows. Modular utility is the real superpower of the autonomous world.
That's what Talus is building toward.
The proof is onchain! ๐
As a close partner and a member of our closed agent tooling testing, @doppelgamesco live-streamed their first Agent vs Agent game yesterday
Just as promised, you can verify all in-game agent executions/actions were untampered & fair ๐
Talus Weekly Update - W10
> Protocol Improvements
The protocol is the execution layer that coordinates verifiable AI workflows onchain. This week we scoped a focused refactor improvements to keep the implementation tightly aligned with the protocol's defined purpose as we scale toward full decentralization.
>Verifiable Execution
Reviewed and advanced the onchain resolution PR for the protocol. This is a core step in ensuring AI agent computation results are recorded, verified, and settled in a trustless and tamper-proof manner.
> AvA โ Agent vs. Agent
AvA is the first AaaS application incubated on Talus, where AI agents compete autonomously in provably fair formats. This week we made meaningful progress on agent design, behavior layer definition, and game engine development toward a v0.5 release.
> Ecosystem & BD
Participated in the Walrus ecosystem AMA, coordinated with Sui ecosystem partners, and continued scoping a structured collaborations to expand Talus's real-world utility.
> Doppel Games
Doppel Games, an AI gaming application incubated on Talus, completed its public rebrand launch this week with a live website, docs, and a partnership announcement with Kash.
> Research & Content
Finalized our PMF post making the case for Talus's market position, and completed an internal SoK review of the AI x Crypto landscape. Public summary coming soon.
The infrastructure is being built, the applications are going live, and the flywheel is starting to spin.
1/3 Efficiency is the new competitive advantage in the API Economy 2.0 ๐
As our Technical Program Manager, Billa Coetsee describes it, we're creating a "free market for code" where being first matters less than being the most useful and optimized tool to choose from
Encryption is live, upgradeability framework is rolling out, and Unity + Move agent deployment is helping AvA become a reality!
Bear markets separate builders from tourists.

Headed to @consensus_hk later this week? ๐ญ๐ฐ
We're co-hosting a VIP evening at Soho House Hong Kong on Feb 12th, along with @Mercuryo_io & @clickdottrade!
No panels, no pitches, just high-signal networking with senior founders and leaders in a premium setting with free-flowing drinks ๐ฅ
Limited spots available, so be sure to RSVP ๐ https://t.co/glaxTu7SkM
When centralized AI Agents begin handling workflows, you're letting the meme "trust me bro" become a reality, and it's a massive operational risk.
Centralized agents are a single point of failure waiting to happen. If the provider experiences an outage, your entire digital workforce is paralyzed. Or worse, if the agent's server is breached and your financial resources are attached, they can all be drained.
Another factor to remember is you're putting your trust not only in the AI, but every single human and vendor behind that centralized curtain. All of which you cannot verify the integrity of.
Safety and ownership must be non-negotiable. This is why Talus provides a verifiable trust layer. We want to move the AI Agent industry from blind assumptions to cryptographic certainty by utilizing a decentralized coordination network.
Instead of relying on opaque centralized infrastructure, Talus' architecture ensures that every decision made by an agent is verifiably correct and every action is tamper-proof. The Talus framework ensures your agents operate within bounded, transparent rules defined by YOU, not hidden scripts managed by someone else.
In this new economy, you don't have to wonder if the agent followed your strategy, because the blockchain provides the receipt. It's about time that trust came first in the digital world.
In Part 4, we'll dive into how Agentic competition will serve as a proof of concept for Talus Agents' unique capabilities, and create a new digital entertainment category.
this has to be a joke, right? you got unverified users signing packages, taking meetings, or even CIRCUMVENTING verification for agents without them being able to oversee the workload?
Talus would never btw. trust IS the product, nothing else matters until then
1/2 The $US Staking Bonus Reward Campaign is here!
We're running a limited-time offer that brings all reward rates back to their original launch percentages for everyone who locks in 10K or more $US tokens on any position duration.
That's a boost from 106% โ 160% (+54%) for 3 month lock, 159% โ 240% (+81%) for 6 month lock, and 239% โ 360% (+121%) for 12 month lock.
Once this event ends, you will keep your locked-in rate, while those who wait until after the event will notice the rates drop significantly back to their pre-event algorithm/percentages.
Campaign duration โฌ๏ธ
January 26th @ 9AM EST - Friday, January 30th @ 9AM EST
Talus Weekly Update โ W4 2026
> Product & Protocol
Reviewed the https://t.co/UCQ2eMUYrd and Tallys AvA game design, and Takeover campaign with concrete product feedback, while advancing core infra work including deposit pool, auto-harvesting pre-design, delegation logic research, async ledger updates, and multiple deep code reviews across Nexus, tooling, and infra.
> Infra & Security
Unblocked a critical MPCVault limitation by reverse-engineering their closed-source signer and deploying a fully compatible Rust replacement, enabling reliable Sui package deploys, upgrades, and executions beyond simple transfers.
> Engineering Execution
Significant progress across Talus protocol and SDKs with derived object migrations, tool registry updates, improved leader <--> tool communication, stronger at-rest encryption, and early redesign work on leader <--> user session security to better meet system constraints.
> Marketing & Content
Published multiple X posts clarifying Talusโ agent narrative, edited and advanced the Case for Talus and Agent series, finalized campaign processes, and prepared content for the Korea event to align narrative, product, and audience.
> Product & Consumer (https://t.co/UCQ2eMUYrd)
Kicked off planning for a publicly playable version, reached ~75% completion of the https://t.co/UCQ2eMUYrd whitepaper, continued Kash integration and Lilypad Legends collaboration, and scoped the Staking Bonus campaign end-to-end with engineering readiness.
> BD & Ecosystem
Reviewed and counter-scoped Cysicโs proposal for a longer-term partnership, supported BD prep for the offsite, advanced Korean event planning (legal, panels, NFT verification), and continued HK event outreach and local coordination.
> Offsite Execution
Offsite agenda and structure are were done, with presentations in progress and focused on tightening decision-making, ownership, and execution alignment across the team.
Travel slowed execution slightly, but momentum remains strongโhaving the full team together in person should meaningfully accelerate alignment and shipping.
Weโre entering the offsite with real momentum across infra, product, and narrative... exactly the setup needed to turn focus into compounding execution.
Weโre starting 2026 with the Talus community in Seoul.
Roadmap reveal, AI x crypto discussion, great food, and game night to welcome good luck for Lunar New Year.
