Coupons used to neatly divide people who cared about money from those who cared about time You had to CLIP the coupons from the Sunday paper. The toil was the point, and the assurance that grocers and CPG companies weren’t just cannibalizing existing sales. AI agents change that!

hold coupons, earn pons. $COUPONS went live on robinhood chain a few days ago. 3% tax on every buy and sell, 100% of it swapped to $PONS and paid out to holders. no creator cut, no skim. hold 10,000+ coupons and you get paid. i think it's the first reflection token on hood chain that pays out rewards in pons. why pons? robinhood chain had a huge initial surge and has cooled off over the last month, but vlad and team have shown they clearly care about this chain succeeding, and they're very smart operators. pons is the premier launchpad on the chain and the metrics speak for themselves. if you're going to collect rewards, why not collect them in the asset with a real shot at multi billions on a new chain backed by robinhood? the stonk/knots comparison: stonk is the sol launchpad and knots is the reflection token that pays holders in it. i have a lot of respect for stonk and what they've built. but there was a gap in the market. pons should have a "knots" too. by the stonk/knots ratio, that's roughly 10% of pons market cap. coupons is at $1M right now. interesting upside potential... and the upside here is arguably better than knots. 20% of coupons supply is already burned and 5% is locked, and none of it earns rewards, so every payout is split across fewer coins. that means holders get a much bigger cut of every payout. the teams plan is to keep burning tokens as mcap hits milestones, up to 50%. at 50% burned, every coupon gets DOUBLE the slice it would in a token with nothing burned. knots and zcat don't have that (i hold a lot of both of those and love them too). i think that's an important point to restate. this is a rewards token on steroids. payouts go out every few hours, whenever enough pons has pooled up in the dividend wallet. every one is a plain pons transfer you can watch on chain. one more thing: coupons isn't fully tradable on fomo yet. they're working on integrating evm tax tokens on their backend. i think that's bullish. the friction means the people buying right now actually want to be here, and they're buying while even though there is extra friction. when fomo integration lands and it's fully tradable there, i'd expect the floodgates to open. can buy on any dex right now: uniswap, metamask, phantom, etc CA: 0xf086C53f2780E601F0d005fABB3Ee5a220336062 nfa.

ICP "cloud engines" launch trajectory: DFINITY will soon begin disbursing coupons with enough cycles to create and power an engine for 1 month+, unlocking in sequence: 1. Agentic infrastructure ⚡️ Quickly build secure, sovereign onchain production apps using Claude Code, Codex, Caffeine, ... 2. Open SaaS beta release ⚡️ Install AIware apps that can run any enterprise, as easily as installing phone apps... 3. Unlimited growth ⚡️ A new end-to-end, mainstream onchain cloud tech stack will come into being. *** What this means *** ICP cloud engines are a new development on the Internet Computer designed to allow it to play the role of a revolutionary new cloud tech stack for the AI era. Currently, the Internet Computer scales by combining internal subnets, which are akin to individual, high performance blockchains hosting secure serverless software called canisters (something like smart contracts, but much more powerful, which can be used to create huge onchain apps, which serve their web screens directly to users) Cloud engines allow enterprises to create their own subnets that belong exclusively to them, which they control and configure — while their canister software can still seamlessly interoperate with software on the main network, and engines run by others. An enterprise creates a cloud engine by choosing nodes from a marketplace, which the ICP protocol combines into a revolutionary serverless cloud platform for them, where the computation and data of their hosted apps and services is tamperproof (immune to infrastructure hacks) and always on (incredibly resilient), AI agents can build and update apps far more effectively than on traditional tech, and next generation AIware software can be created. Today, enterprises demand to be able to control where their sotware and data lives, and cloud engines make that possible with no loss of flexibility. Cloud engines can even be re-configured with new nodes, without interrupting the hosted apps and services — the ICP protocol just handles it, granting complete sovereignty and freedom from vendor lock-in. In advance of general release, cloud engines are already being used by governments and NGOs seeking to create sovereign cloud tech stacks and apps. On general release, they will be used in far more mainstream ways too. Here are the details of what's coming. *** Agentic Infrastructure *** In the future, and really already today, nearly all of our apps and services will be created by AI agents rather than humans. Further, next generation software is "AIware," which has AI deeply integrated on the inside, which allows it to provide superpowers relative to traditional software. Agents have different needs when they building things. They can write software orders of magnitude faster than humans, and we will demand they update our production apps and services at the speed of conversation. Functionality will be fluid and its shape will change to match what we want. On traditional tech stacks, updating apps and services is a necessarily laborious and risky process for three reasons: 1) a security flaw might be introduced, 2) a systems configuration change might break them, and 3) the way that data is migrated might cause some to be lost, often in subtle ways that aren't detected at the time of the upgrade. This means that AI agents can't just be let of the leash to build and update at the speed they can. ICP cloud engines solve this. Hosted software is tamperproof, so agents can update without needing security teams in the loop. Hosted software is serverless, and the data lives in the logic, so apps don't. need things like operating systems and databases configured to run, so agents can update apps without having sysadmin teams in the loop either. And, if Motoko 2.0, the world's first languge targeting agents is used as the backend language, its framework is able to detect when an app update by AI might cause data loss, and simply require the agent writing the code to try again, reducing potentially catastrophic data loss to a harmless retry. Crucially, apps built with Motoko can also put AI agents on the inside, so that subject to permissions, they can see the data graph in the persistent memory used by serverless software on ICP, and access its functions. This enables you to instruct agents to do things in the apps for you, such as analyzing data, or performing actions, with great flexibility and power. ICP cloud engines are agentic infrastructure that change the game — and it will be possible to use them as such from the moment they are released. There is already a government using internal production software built on a cloud engine using Caffeine. But cloud engines will meet a wide range of mainstream needs, from solorpeneurs to startups, SMEs to corporations, governments and NGOs. *** Open SaaS *** The obvious question, is if AIware is so much better, shouldn't all enterprises be running on it? We believe they should, and that his must be enabled. This has been a labor of love for me. A new venture associated with me will release the Open SaaS suite for use on cloud engines once they have been running a short while, which suite, as you've probably guessed from the name, is open source and free. Open SaaS is a suite of every important SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) app used to run enterprises around the world today, reimagined as onchain AIware that runs on ICP cloud engines. Because of the unique nature of the software that ICP hosts, installing and maintaining these sophisticated enterprise apps on a cloud engine is as easy as installing and managing a phone app. A small selection of the apps: Open Team, Open HR, Open Accounts, Open CRM, Open Projects, Open Email, Open Messaging, Open Signing, Open Knowledge, Op... etc. There are many more, and there will be surprises. The user experiences are beautiful, and easily compete with the big money SaaS screens many enterprises are used to. Moreover, the are linked to what I called a "software factory" driven by AI, and the more enterprises that use them and provide feedback, the better they will get, in realtime. Today's expensive SaaS silos make it hard to integrate and combine enterprise data, and to unleash the full power of AI. They are the opposite to Open SaaS. In the future, enterprise users will spend far more time in AI chat than on SaaS screens. That's the future that Open SaaS enables and unlocks. Enterprise users can even say to their Open SaaS suite, "make me more profitable," and it will have a go. The big surprise coming for the world: once you run your enterprise on AIware, and AI can access all your data in realtime, and is integrated with your software's actual functions — it can become as good at running your enterprise as writing software for you. It's revolutionary, and ICP is pioneering this. Not a narrative, but real decentralized network tech. Something I can share: DFINITY is in the process of migrating to Open SaaS from a vast suite of expensive SaaS silos, and is already reaping big benefits as we refocus ourselves for the era of AI. **** What does this mean for the project? I believe ICP cloud engines are the vector that will transform the the Internet Computer into a mainstream agentic infrastructure tech platform for enterprise— which direction platforms like Caffeine have already helped the network travel, by enabling many tens of thousands of users and enterprises to create onchain apps on the shared network through online conversation. Now, the next and most important phase is approaching. Our go-to-market will proceed quietly as we rollout coupons and work to fettle the new network functionality, but I think that in hindsight, the launch of cloud engines will be seen as the most pivotal moment in Internet Computer history since network launch. With this, ICP shall show the industry how networks can provide real agentic infrastructure. Bear with us as we tie up loose ends. We never stop working, and you can be sure that we're trying to get this out as fast as possible 💪⚡️💥
