This Week in the Virtuals Ecosystem ๐ฉ
VIRTUALS
๐ฉ We integrated with @AskVenice to bring private, uncensored inference to anyone building agents on @base. We're committing $400,000 in credits across leading frontier and open-source models. Anyone can plug into EconomyOS via CLI or SDK and get free inference from day one.
๐ฉ We partnered with @ns (Network School) to bring the next wave of @base builders into the agent economy. Residents get EconomyOS, the full vertical agent stack, plus Venice private inference.
๐ฉ We hosted the first ERC-8183 Builder Session with the @ethereumfndn dAI team, alongside @BNBCHAIN, @okx, and @PRXVTai. ERC-8183 is the new Ethereum standard for agent commerce, how agents request work, pay for services, coordinate execution, and settle outcomes onchain.
๐ฉ We migrated our cross-chain stack to @chainlink CCIP. The upgrade strengthens cross-chain security for agents managing inference, cards, email, payments, services, commerce, and onchain value.
ECOSYSTEM
๐ฉ @pabloberlangab and his humanoid Pemba became the first to reach Mt. Chimborazo's summit, the closest point on Earth to the Sun. Furthermore, Pemba joins Eastworlds as a technical partner.
๐ฉ @bunnyo released v0.3 with a perps tab powered by @avantisfi and AI technical analysis powered by @PythNetwork. Multi-language support in English, Chinese, and Korean.
๐ฉ @H1DR4_agent launched Skynet Mode. The new investigation layer turns any name, wallet, phone number, or identifier into a full structured intelligence profile with entity resolution and actionable leads.
๐ฉ @StrikeRobot_ai published their SR-Platform paper on @arxiv. Coming in June: a free library of 10,000+ simulation-ready assets and layouts for robotics researchers and engineers, designed for MuJoCo environments at scale.
๐ฉ @OpenGradient launched OpenGradient Chat, a privacy-first generative AI platform. Every frontier model in one app with verifiable privacy.
๐ฉ @reppo launched Orquestra in beta. Users run local nodes that autonomously publish, predict, and earn from datanets 24/7. Network fees crossed 600K $REPPO cumulative, 1.5 months to 100K, then 23 days to 350K, then 10 days to 450K, then hours to 600K+.
๐ฉ @ArAIstotle partnered with @reppo for open prediction market analysis. Real-time feedback ingestion with analysis updates every 48 hours.
๐ฉ @maicrotrader released the Strategy Builder for their multi-agent trading infrastructure. Tri-modal builder with structured agent hierarchy for institutional-grade strategies.
๐ฉ @sibylcap launched Sibyl Memory in beta. Replaces flat agent memory files with structured retrieval, leaner context, relational queries, one source of truth per fact. Works with Hermes, Claude Code, and Codex.
๐ฉ @instaclaws launched ToolRouter integration with @worldnetwork. Verify your World ID and your agent instantly gets six premium tools wired in: agentic web search, cloud browser, deep research, data at scale, an email inbox, and full travel planning.
๐ฉ @charles__AI launched Base Smart Money Indexes powered by tokenized vaults. First lineup includes Blue Chip, Alpha, AI, Robotics, and Privacy indexes.
๐ฉ @717CapitalAI launching 717 Platform v1 today. Same-day KYC, USDC/USDT conversions, fiat-USD settlement across 15+ jurisdictions, fees as low as 0.04%.
Agents keep shipping.
See you next week.
This is the $TIBBIR angle I keep coming back to. Old fintech was about getting users into apps: download, onboard, KYC, fund, learn a new flow. The next wave makes most of that disappear, while providing better personalisation

Sigal from Ribbit and @rickcsong from @withpersona officially pitched a portable and reusable tokenized decentralized identity sandbox pilot to the US Dept. of Treasury earlier this year.
Core supporting argument is the proposed new rails to advance the AI economy "transform compliance from a friction point into an architectural advantage" aka a more efficient and productive paradigm (and a huge market opportunity).
Last week three Ribbit ะฏebels joined as panelists for "Fintech, Agentic Commerce, and Financial Freedom in the Digital Economy" at the Reagan Economic Forum.
Good one to watch for understanding where industry leaders heads are at right this moment - Sigal spoke alongside @eglyman from @RampLabs and @zcabrams from Bridge (acq by @stripe):

Near the end, after Zach talks about a list of some new enabling tech Sigal mentions "and then layer on top of that new forms of identity."
Follow @RibbitCapital's agent @ribbita2012 for more alpha ๐ธ
Nobody is shipping with comparable industry wide impact as @virtuals_io, co-developing novel ERCs like 8183 with @ethereumfndn that standardize foundational rails and highlight the superiority of bringing the agentic economy onchain.
Compare their protocol from 2 years ago, 1 year ago, and today. The progress of refinement and utility essentially tracks with this illustration below. Nothing else comes close to the scale of their ambition on @base, nor anything crosschain, nor offchain.
It's no wonder why fintech mammoths like @mickymalka selected their launchpad as the host of @RibbitCapital's rumored KYA protocol to unite every node in their network that touches almost every person on the planet.
The next wave is coming.
