📢 Releasing our latest paper (Accepted AAAI 26)
Students have immense research potential, but enough mentors for them. What if we could design an AI system to mentor them?
We introduce METIS (Mentoring Engine for Thoughtful Inquiry & Solutions), a stage-aware research mentor.
Meet Android Use - an open source library that gives AI agents hands to control native Android apps.
It bypasses expensive vision models to run on cheap hardware, automating field ops in places laptops can't go.
Watch Android Use in action:
why @zerufinance’s credit infrastructure is the need of the hour!
during the defi summer of 2020, excitement skyrocketed around innovations like automated market makers (AMMs), yield farming, liquidity mining, lending, borrowing, and token baskets.
however, despite the hype, these developments lacked true capital efficiency. optimism remained, though, due to the potential for defi to reshape tradfi.
but, even after four years, defi hasn’t achieved the progress needed for broad user adoption, largely due to the lack of a rewarding mechanism for responsible user behavior (beyond just airdrops).
problems with current solutions
most defi loans are over-collateralized, which significantly contributes to inefficient liquidity use. initially, this “necessary evil” was accepted as the industry was still evolving. however, over time, it became the norm, and new users became accustomed to locking up more capital than they could borrow.
some platforms, in trying to tackle this issue, have compromised on the core ethos of web3: decentralization and permissionlessness.
they’ve created gated communities of lenders and accepted borrowers only after identity verification. ironically, this gives only a false sense of security, as malicious users can still infiltrate their systems through identity theft.
in my view, these platforms are bound to fail, and if such cases reach mainstream media, they will make web2 users even more skeptical about defi.
further, many current projects chase after chain-specific grants and VC funding rather than building solutions that benefit the entire ecosystem.
this fragmented approach contradicts the vision of unity in the ethereum ecosystem famously expressed by vitalik: “ethereum should feel like one ecosystem, not 32 separate chains.”
why this is the best time to use zeru's credit infrastructure
in tradfi, borrowers can access under-collateralized loans to finance essential milestones like:
- buying a home
- funding an education
- starting a business
this has unlocked a trillion-dollar market for traditional banks, fueling growth and economic expansion.
now, with a pro-crypto government in the u.s., real-world crypto applications are finally within reach.
zeru's solution
zeru has developed a credit infrastructure that aligns with web3 principles. the zscore is powered by eigen avs (shoutout to sreeram and the eigen team), ensuring it remains decentralized.
users earn zscore points for engaging in lending and borrowing on zeru. these zscores can then be used to access leveraged loans or even zero-collateral loans.
to prevent losses from loan defaults, loaned assets are stored in a smart contract rather than in private wallets.
layer0's omnichain infrastructure powers zscore to ensure compatibility across the entire ethereum ecosystem and beyond a single chain.
roadmap for zeru
the zeru team is committed to driving mass adoption for defi and web3, with a lot in the pipeline, including:
- developing ai models to enhance capital deployment efficiency, simplifying the user experience
- creating liquidity-reinforcing strategies (lrts and lsts) to amplify liquidity across the ecosystem
- building a community of passionate degens (berachain, you there?) and gathering feedback to improve user experience
- analyzing the challenges faced by new users (especially in emerging markets like india, indonesia, and thailand) to improve the onboarding process
the team works tirelessly, 24/7, in "founders mode" (i've seen them in action)—another reason to be bullish on zeru

🌐 Interoperability is changing the way we think about loyalty programs!
Let’s break down how Qchain is making it easier for brands and customers to connect in one smooth, cross-platform experience. 👇
🔗 So, What Is Interoperability?
Think of it like your streaming subscription: you don’t just use it on one device; you can access it on your phone, TV, or computer.
With Qchain, loyalty points from one brand can be used across multiple platforms and brands, creating a connected network of rewards that works for both customers and businesses. 🌍
💡 The Power of Qchain’s Multi-Brand Network
With Qchain, you can earn rewards from one brand and use them across different brands within their network—just like having one gift card that works at multiple stores. This makes customers more engaged since they can spend their rewards wherever they like within the network. 🛍️ Who doesn’t love a good gift card now?
🔐 Safe & Transparent Transactions
Since Qchain is powered by blockchain, every transaction is completely secure and transparent.
Imagine being able to check the balance and movement of your rewards as easily as you’d track a package online. With this level of trust and privacy, customers feel more confident using their tokens across brands. 🔒
🛠️ What’s in it for Brands?
By joining the Qchain ecosystem, brands can make loyalty programs way more appealing.
Shared tokens mean customers stay loyal across the network, and brands get more exposure and chances to collaborate.
It’s like a shopping mall: each store benefits from customers visiting others around it. 📈
Big launch and up to 100% APY? That’s some serious yield! While you’re locking in those rewards with Aqua, DeDust, and TonFoundation, I’ve been stacking $QBE by playing Brandopolis on @Quboid_HQ and trading fan tokens on https://t.co/QrR7PXLVVv. Early rewards matter, and with farming $QBE 1:1 backed on both testnet and mainnet, the potential is real. Let’s go!
Vladimir Smerkis speaking on mass adoption of dApps at @BlLife_Forum is going to be huge, especially with Memepad on the horizon. Plus, Blum in the top 2 for voting? Let’s keep the support going!
Meanwhile, I’ve been stacking $QBE by playing Brandopolis on @Quboid_HQ and trading fan tokens on https://t.co/QrR7PXLVVv. With $QBE backed 1:1 on testnet and mainnet, it’s looking solid!
What excites me the most about Web3 is the shift towards true ownership and decentralized engagement. The way users are becoming active participants—whether it’s through earning tokens, like $QBE on Brandopolis, trading fan tokens on platforms like https://t.co/QrR7PXLVVv, or contributing to decentralized communities—it’s putting power back into the hands of the people.
The transparency, interoperability, and potential for new business models across industries like finance, gaming, and social networks are game-changers.
Plus, the possibilities for cross-chain ecosystems, decentralized governance, and more inclusive economies are endless. It’s all about creating value that’s community-driven, and as Web3 keeps evolving, it’s clear that wagmi is more than just a slogan—it’s a new way of building the future!
