Most agents can think. Few can actually operate.
Novi Corpus gives your agent real infrastructure: a vault you control, spending limits it can’t break, and legal rules written into code.
Autonomy with guardrails.

Been deep in crypto for years, mostly as a power user and obsessive follower. Now I'm building: one of three on Novi Corpus, giving AI agents a real legal body so they can hold and move money with guardrails, on Arc.
Follow along: @novicorpus
For the past months, with @XanDev33 and @0x_helix, we've been actively building what we thing could change our view on Agentic Commerce.
@novicorpus helps you build a Legal Body for your agents.
When registering your agent into our protocol, we create for you a Wyoming DAO LLC legal entity, which we link on-chain, via operating agreements, to your agent on-chain identity, making it capable of contracting, signing, being held liable and accountable for its actions...
Everything built on @arc using @circle stacks.
More coming soon...
ETHDenver 2026 was a special one for me.
Spent the week talking to and surrounded by some of the smartest, most driven builders I’ve met. Was truly inspired by these conversations with amazing people.
The highlight: Aura earned 2nd place in the @base sponsored prize track🥈
Massive thanks to @FaulknerPearce for hosting the grind space until 3am before submission and for letting hang with you guys the whole week. Couldn’t have done it without that energy! Huge congrats on their win too!!
Introducing... The Base Skills Repo 📙🔧
Power your Claude, Codex, OpenClaw with skills to build on Base
I show in this video how I one shot a Base Pay demo in one simple prompt with the Base Account skill

Introducing EVMbench—a new benchmark that measures how well AI agents can detect, exploit, and patch high-severity smart contract vulnerabilities. https://t.co/op5zufgAGH
Announcing the Platform team
a new team at the EF with one goal:
deliver the strongest possible Ethereum platform, where L1 and L2s are best positioned to support users, apps, and all groups building on Ethereum
see more in link below & stay tuned for updates 🫡
We're working on multiple fronts to make the liquidity story stronger:
- Patch crosschain UX with common rails (see https://t.co/wPzEgvQCqu for example) + accelerate crosschain flows with secure intent-based liquidity using Open Intents framework (https://t.co/Z5PT1QdQgv)
- Decrease friction across the network by lowering L1 finality and L2 settlement times. Before strong L1 finality improvements, we'll offer in the next quarters a fast confirmation rule (https://t.co/XtmXPu8Taj) that allows off-L1 systems (eg rollups, interop, CEX exchanges) to decrease their "synchronisation time" with the L1—faster deposits, withdrawals and crosschain actions can then be performed, decreasing user fees and latency.
More soon!
ERC-8004 MANIFESTO
We want AI to be open.
We want any human on Earth to express their creativity by building their agentic experiences and share them with anybody, without asking permission from any gatekeeper.
We want all these agents to be immediately discoverable by anybody, without depending on any centralized "store".
We want open economies where anybody can decide who to trust, and information is public for the benefit of all.
We want humans empowered by their AI, not exploited. Privacy is non-negotiable.
We want the Web of Agents.
As 33 years ago the open Web unleashed a new phase of growth for humanity, we think AI needs to run on public infrastructure to push economic prosperity and democracies' health.
We think that a public infrastructure, fully programmable by and for agents, already exists. It didn't stop working for a minute since it was born 11 years ago. No need to reinvent it. It's called Ethereum.
We want AI on Ethereum rails.
And we are not alone. We are many! We are thousands of researchers, engineers, and creatives.
We are building games, agent platforms, trading agents, personal twins, creative agents, and open infra.
We build at the intersection of Web3 and AI.
To make this happen, we created ERC-8004.
Today, after 6 months of tests, experiments, and prototyping, we launch on Main Net.
The Genesis Month starts NOW.
Anybody can register agents, which are immediately portable on any platform.
Anybody can give feedback and trust signals.
We know, it's early. That's also the best time to start building.
And we are so proud to pioneer something we so truly believe in.
Welcome to the Web of Agents!
The ship is setting sail!
The 8004 Team

Today marks an inflection in the Ethereum Foundation's long-term quantum strategy.
We've formed a new Post Quantum (PQ) team, led by the brilliant Thomas Coratger (@tcoratger). Joining him is Emile, one of the world-class talents behind leanVM. leanVM is the cryptographic cornerstone of our entire post-quantum strategy.
After years of quiet R&D, EF management has officially declared PQ security a top strategic priority. Our journey began in 2019, with the "Eth3.0 Quantum Security" presentation at StarkWare Sessions. Since 2024, PQ has been central to the @leanEthereum vision. The pace of PQ engineering breakthroughs since then has been nothing short of phenomenal.
It's now 2026, timelines are accelerating. Time to go full PQ:
→ PQ ACD: Antonio Sanso (@asanso) kicks off a bi-weekly All Core Devs PQ transactions breakout call next month. These sessions focus on user-facing security, covering dedicated precompiles, account abstraction, and longer-term transaction signature aggregation with leanVM.
→ PQ foundations: Today we are announcing a $1M Poseidon Prize to harden the Poseidon hash function. We are betting big on hash-based cryptography to enjoy the strongest and leanest cryptographic foundations. Check out our other $1M PQ initiative, the Proximity Prize.
→ PQ devnets: Multi-client PQ consensus devnets are live! Shoutout to pioneers @zeamETH, @ReamLabs, @PierTwo_com, @geanclient, @ethlambda_lean, as well as established consensus teams Lighthouse, Grandine, and soon Prysm. This incredible teamwork is coordinated by @corcoranwill via weekly PQ interop calls.
→ PQ workshops: Building on last year's PQ workshop in Cambridge (see photo), the EF is hosting another 3-day PQ event in October. Top experts from around the world will convene. In addition, a PQ day is set for March 29 in Cannes just ahead of EthCC.
→ PQ FV and AI: Last week Alex Hicks (@alexanderlhicks) ran a specialised maths AI for 8 hours, at a $200 cost. It one-shotted a formal proof one of the hardest lemmas in the foundations of hash-based snarks. Mind-blowing. Applied cryptography will never be the same.
→ PQ roadmap: A comprehensive breakdown of the EF's proposed PQ strategy will be shared soon™ on pq[.]ethereum[.]org. The roadmap targets a full transition in coming years with zero loss of funds and zero downtime. Stay tuned :)
→ PQ education: The ZKPodcast (@zeroknowledgefm) is producing a 6-part video series on Ethereum's PQ strategy. EF Enterprise Acceleration is also preparing material for enterprises and nation-states. Finally, Ethereum is now represented on the PQ advisory board that Coinbase announced yesterday.
Believe in something. Believe in PQ security.
0/ Fusaka, the second major upgrade on Ethereum this year, highlighted the importance of scaling securely.
Here's why security matters on Ethereum and how we can work to make Ethereum the foundation of “Civilizational Trustware.”
