Discovered that @niyoko_agent's Workflow has been updated, and after generating images, you can directly turn them into animations.
I first turned my avatar into a lucky cat (Maneki), and then added some animation.
The whole animation is quite smooth, but it gave me an extra hand, haha😅
@BubblyXBT thinks that $NYKO is the Veo and Sora of the Virtuals ecosystem, and I think we should add a Kaito.
Recently, we've collaborated with several ecosystem projects, starting to leverage some of Kaito's functions. Looking forward to further contributions in the ACP ecosystem.
For those who want to try this Workflow, I've put the link in the comments (shout out to @i_play21.
Excited to invite @bm_protocol to @virtuals_io Genesis Launch!
BM Finance allows you to collateralize your crypto and borrow fiat at rates as low as 0%, arbitraging across crypto and stock markets, like $Virtuals & $Circle, maximizing the value flow
$MONEY checks my 4 boxes: 🔸 Solves real pain points 🔸 Revenue model 🔸 Community-driven growth 🔸 Experienced small team
( @BasisOS and @humafinance also meet these criteria. Hoping for more projects like these!)
Detailed breakdown soon, I will invest all my points for two weeks into this project
BTW, I heard that @bitfish1 is preparing to sell 23,552 $ETH to buy $TSLA. Using BM Finance might be a smarter choice
Yesterday, Coinbase announced at its own Summit that it will soon be adding DEX to its exchange, starting with support for trading tokens on Base, and then expanding to more chains.
Interestingly, the example given in the demo was @virtuals_io 👀
It looks very similar to what Binance has done this year, using CEX to drive volume for wallets. Could the next step also be the launch of Coinbase Alpha? Looking forward to the days when Coinbase users are earning Alpha points, haha.
A bit of background information: Coinbase's current tech VP, @jessepollak, was previously in charge of the Base chain and Base wallet, and has since been promoted. This integration is also about revitalizing the business he once oversaw.
@base and @virtuals_io summer is coming?
Lastly, I have to commend Binance for a series of moves this year that not only enhance the user experience but also increase business volume, and they have pioneered a new model for TGE @heyibinance @cz_binance.
Saw a piece of news that Humanity Protocol, based on palm print identity verification, has acquired the Web3 event platform Moongate.
Congratulations to the group friends, from the last cycle to now, we have been building continuously, back then we wrote a lot of examples on how NFTs can be integrated with the real world.🤣
This is also a path for application-based projects to exit: sell to some infrastructure and become a showcase on top of it.
With real users and unique applications, they are becoming the hot topic in various ecosystems. The competition among ecosystems (public chains, launchpads, ...) has also intensified; those who have more and better developers will gain an edge.
I unexpectedly saw an interview with a former Binance executive in the must-read Lenny Newsletter for product managers.
Mayur Kamat is the ex-Binance SVP and product head, and what impressed him the most was that after joining in 2022, the leadership team held meetings every night at 11 PM, including weekends and holidays, and no decision would be delayed for more than 24 hours.
CZ has 55 direct reports, so anyone is at most one person away from CZ.
This flat structure forces all leaders to deeply understand the details while empowering every employee to 'own the whole cell.'
At that time, Binance had 2,000 people and was valued at a peak of $400 billion.
However, don't just casually imitate this; behind it is a fusion of high growth, high compensation, and mission-driven culture during that phase.
Just like many companies once tried to emulate Alibaba's culture or ByteDance's OKRs, only to find that the subjects they were trying to learn from don't really emphasize these things anymore.
In the end, I checked out 8g; this guy left in January 2024, just when CZ was going to the United States. He went to a digital bank in Europe as CPO, and I wonder if he regrets this choice.
A very inactive X account @5degreez, but @cz_binance has indeed followed.
The most significant is the release of the Solana Attestation Service (SAS) 🔐
Simply put, it allows you to prove everything on Solana, especially off-chain data
It also tells a big story: the trust layer of the internet capital market
Indeed, whether in finance or consumer applications, further expansion requires more data
Roam is one of the first projects to integrate SAS, which makes a lot of sense, as a foundational layer of the network, there is a lot of geographical and browsing data that can serve as on-chain proof, enriching user identities and profiles. On one hand, it helps users gain more cross-application benefits, and on the other hand, it enhances the overall richness of SAS data, providing Solana with more opportunities to expand into more off-chain populations and scenarios.
@weRoamxyz also launched Premium eSIM, which gives users an Austrian phone number (+43 prefix) upon activation, allowing for calling, texting, and internet access worldwide (with high-speed data available in over 160 destinations), with virtually no roaming fees, supporting both fiat and crypto payments, making it ideal for digital nomads. I’ve been looking forward to it and plan to get one when it officially launches.
(Note the emphasis! This eSIM is equivalent to using this foreign phone number's network roaming anytime, anywhere, with a built-in proxy.)
I'm quite familiar with Roam; I'm using it myself. There are 11 projects that are among the first to support the Solana Attestation Service, all worth checking out. I've put them in the first comment. After all, everyone understands Solana's style; they won't do things without preparation. Once they decide to promote something, they will invest a lot of resources.
The DeFi + AI track's Brahma has just restarted the Imprint NFT event, and everyone can go to free mint.
There is an opportunity to upgrade NFTs once a week; reaching level 4 guarantees a $BRAH airdrop, not less than 5% of the total supply.
Participating in daily DeFi activities can help you upgrade, and using Brahma Agents for automation can speed it up. I will try it out later.
Bind your Discord and Twitter, along with social credits.
I just minted one, following the official tutorial on the page, with no gas fees required.
NFTs have really become airdrop tools for various projects this round, and Brahma's design makes a lot of sense, unifying on-chain interactions with social media.
This project is also quite interesting, supported by well-known crypto angel investors @mrjasonchoi and @santiagoroel. It aims to achieve 2 layers of automation: 1️⃣ The Agent helps users make money, becoming an autonomous driving system for the on-chain economy. 2️⃣ The Agent helps users pay bills, connecting various expenditures.
The Agent makes money, and I get to spend it, how delightful! DeFAI + PayFi.
If you are interested in this field or are already trying out different DeFi + AI projects, you can give it a try. The direct link is in the first comment.
Huma Finance announces a 0.5% airdrop to Kaito, directly igniting the Chinese market, capturing 45% of the Mindshare in just one day.
More and more project teams are using Kaito; Kaito is the real money printing machine.
With such a profitable model, more projects will definitely come to compete.
The top data platform Crypto AI Agent, Cookie.fun, has joined the fray, with an interface almost identical to Kaito, and will soon launch the first season Campaign.
Leave a message if you need an invitation code.
I believe this is good for both project teams and creators; the more competition there is, the lower the costs for project teams and the more profits for creators.
The dashboard has shown me the mindshare from @BasisOS and @niyoko_agent, indicating that they are also starting cold launches from the Crypto AI Agent side.

Are you still using classifications like computing power, algorithms, and data to understand Crypto AI?
No. If these modules are just moved onto the chain, No One Cares
I did an in-depth review with @MaxCryptoSpace and shared my new perspective on Crypto AI: "Crypto helps AI" or "AI helps Crypto", along with analyses of several actual projects (there might be Alpha😎)
Little Universe has finally launched this AI feature, which allows you to listen to English podcasts in Chinese, providing immediate access to firsthand information from the English-speaking world (for example, the a16z podcast).
This feature also has a unique trait, as it can play both Chinese and English simultaneously, which could also be used for learning English, haha.
Currently, this feature is available to members for $2 a month; I have already subscribed. 😎
The downside is that not all English podcasts are available on Little Universe, but more and more firsthand information about Crypto is being disseminated through podcasts. It feels like there could be an AI-driven Crypto Alpha tool that integrates this feature, or it could scrape podcast information. A small team could develop this and launch it on Virtuals Genesis Launch, while also researching which Alphas and scores are available on Virtuals, which will definitely attract attention.
The Kaito leaderboard of Virtuals Protocol is out, and only one fan in the Top 7 has over 30k followers. The first place is @gkisokay, the author of the Virtuals Daily.
The first place in the Chinese community is @ZaggyGoKrazy, who is also the author of the Virtuals Chinese Daily. It seems the legendary Kaito algorithm is in effect; if you often discuss a project, that project's weight will increase.
I barely made it into the Top 50, and I need to work harder.
Congratulations to the other friends from the Chinese community who made the list; they should all be able to earn some Virtuals Points. @0xkookoo @sal_hotpot666 @hellosuoha @BroLeonAus @cutepandaweb3 @Tintinx2021 @felixincrypto @veratheape @Alvin0617 @Dincocoin @kaylyn_0x @amyincrypto @BTCdayu @zolo_hands @nihaovand @Leoninweb3
