This Week's Plan: Build for Holders

This week, we roll up our sleeves and help CryptoAgent holders build intelligence for their agents.

If you are a holder who needs help with coding, discuss your agent idea in the community Discord.

Here are a few agents we're working on 🧵:

Did you know? Sombrero is one of the most sought-after traits in the CryptoAgents collection.

The Sombrero floor is currently at 2.31 ETH.

Happy Taco Tuesday 🌮🌶️

Let's start the week with some pixel art.

Did you know? CryptoAgents took influence from things we love to design their accessories. Here are some:

One-Eyed | Wazowski
Scouter | Goku
Hero Mask | Captain America
Laser Visor | Cyclops
Queen | Wonder Woman

Have an awesome week!

When we designed CryptoAgents, we added a lot of the elements from things we love.

Meet the 4 Ninja Turtles agents 🥳🎉🍾

Inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, we created two traits: X-Type and Mask. The turtle brothers are ninjas trained in ninjutsu and fight evil in NYC.

NFTs with a Brain

Did you know? You can go to OpenSea and filter out the CryptoAgents with Intelligence.

More agents will be upgraded with Intelligence over time by their holders.

We're preparing for the CryptoAgents Desktop App release today — so you can experience them.

We're working on a tool for CryptoAgents holders to customize, enhance, and build intelligence for their agents.

What should we call it?

CryptoAgents are trending on OpenSea 🥳

Thank you, everyone, for supporting our mission of building truly open AI — starting with CryptoAgents as the first building blocks!

I can't stop using the CryptoAgents desktop app.

I just asked an agent to look into @VitalikButerin wallets and instantly got the answer 🤯

- Fully onchain: code stored on Ethereum
- Permissionless: accessible by anyone
- Private: running locally on my laptop

This is freedom.

Hello CryptoAgents, here's a quick update on our plan for the week.

SHIPPING
- Mon: Refunds
- Tue: Discord restructure
- Wed: CryptoAgents desktop app
- Thu: NFT Mint
- Fri: OpenSea

BUILDING FOR NEXT WEEK
- CryptoAgents IUO Launchpad
- CryptoAgents mobile app for older phones

A common feedback for the CryptoAgents mobile app is that it only works with powerful phones.

That limits user adoption. And we want mass adoption for CryptoAgents.

What is needed is a solution that can serve the mass — the every day user with low-cost phones — while protecting their privacy in using AI.

Our hardware team is setting up a GPU box this weekend, so we can start testing out a couple of ideas next week.

There are certain tradeoffs but I think they are acceptable.

We’ll find out soon.

The CryptoAgents technical whitepaper is now available in PDF format.

Unlike all the NFTs before it, CryptoAgents is a fully onchain agentic system with a unique combination of:

- Smart Contract Art
- Fully Onchain AI
- Local Execution (for Privacy)

it feels good — building software experience people love.

kudos to our system engineers too — handling the traffic without any hiccups.

15 mins remaining of the cryptoagents mint.

enjoy! have fun guys!

The CryptoAgent Lifecycle: From Collectibles to Autonomous Entities

A CryptoAgent evolves from a collectible token to a functional AI entity through four stages — coded in the CryptoAgents smart contract — integrating visual, computational, and economic properties.

STAGE 1: IDENTITY

The lifecycle begins with minting a CryptoAgent’s identity. We are in this stage now.

The CryptoAgents smart contract assigns a unique DNA, defining species and attributes, shaping 24x24 pixel art. The pixel art lives eternally on Ethereum.

STAGE 2: INTELLIGENCE

Next, the intelligence stage embeds logic. The agent owners upload code for their agents onto the CryptoAgents smart contract on Ethereum.

While initially this stage is for builders, we're working on tools to make it easier for less technical CryptoAgent owners to build logic for their agents.

The interesting part of this design is that the users could be anyone. Anyone — web2 or web3 users — can use these CryptoAgents via the consumer-friendly CryptoAgents apps.

STAGE 3: MONETIZATION

Monetization enables economic utility.

Once your CryptoAgents get enough users, you can set subscription fees, charged for the AI services your agents provide. The CryptoAgents smart contract ensures trustless payments on Ethereum.

On the other hand, builders who want to publish their code and make money must buy a CryptoAgent on the secondary market — creating a strong flywheel effect.

STAGE 4: TOKENIZATION

Tokenization creates a micro-economy.

Once you monetize your CryptoAgents, you can issue an ERC-20 token to raise funds for further development and distribute revenue to holders.

The CryptoAgents smart contract links the ERC-20 token, supporting governance or rewards, aligning incentives among owners, users, and holders.

So we spent the entire day yesterday building the Highlighter & Slider UX for CryptoAgents.

It turned out that it was very difficult to use.

So we came back to the drawing board and designed a new experience.

A couple of simple clicks and the suggested price will be displayed.

- Want to see the floor? Choose Robot and Floor.

- Want to see the top? Choose Alien and Top.

- Want to shop the mid? Choose X-Type and Mid.

Let us know if this UX works for you. Any feedback is much appreciated.

Doing deep dives on the CryptoAgents tech stack this week.

CryptoAgents is a set of smart contracts that together create one of the most interesting cryptoassets — with a unique combination of Art, AI, and Crypto.

Which part of CryptoAgents do you want to know first?

This single-attribute CryptoAgent is just so clean.

microsubnets

love the bittensor subnet approach.

but it seems like an outdated last-gen cryptonetwork design with miners, validators, and consensus.

have been thinking a lot about the idea of microsubnets.

a minimal, light weight design without the miner + validator + consensus overhead.

each microsubnet does one thing and does it well.

each microsubnet is like a microservice.

each microsubnet is an autonomous, verifiable agent.

each microsubnet is a cryptoagent.
