We're excited to share that Gate US and @AlpacaHQ are aligning on a shared vision: bringing together AI infrastructure and trading infrastructure to power the next generation of agentic trading. Alpaca has built one of the most agent-friendly trading APIs in the market, and its community has been turning trading ideas into real, working projects — from research workflows to paper trading systems to fully agentic pipelines that connect market data, analysis, and execution logic. Gate AI is building the infrastructure layer for AI agents and developers — including GateRouter, a unified API that gives developers instant access to 25+ mainstream AI models with intelligent routing to optimize cost and performance. Putting these two pieces together points to a clear opportunity: developers building AI trading agents shouldn't have to choose between great execution infrastructure and great AI infrastructure — they should be able to have both, seamlessly. What this means going forward: ✅ Exploring how Gate AI's model routing and agent infrastructure can plug into trading workflows built on APIs like Alpaca's ✅ Supporting builders who want to combine market data + AI reasoning + trade execution into agentic systems ✅ Sharing knowledge and best practices between the Gate AI and Alpaca builder communities ✅ Continuing to lower the cost and complexity of building AI-native trading applications This is the start of a conversation, not the end of one. We'll be sharing more as the technical details take shape — and we'd love to hear from builders in both communities about what you'd want to see. If you're building agentic trading workflows and want to be part of shaping this, reach out — we'd love to hear from you. 👉 Learn more: #AI# #AgenticTrading# #Fintech# #GateAI# #Alpaca#

How I made a UiPath AI agent 15𝐱 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 and cut decision costs to $0.00003. ⚡ TypeSafe's Jev cannot write a single word of text. 🛑 Yet it might be the most important model for enterprise automation. Here is what happened when we plugged it into a UiPath Coded Agent: ⚡ --- THE PROBLEM ☕ Traditional LLMs like GPT are great writers, but terrible judges: • They take 6+ seconds per decision • They cost a fortune at enterprise scale • They cannot give you calibrated mathematical confidence --- THE FIX: "THE SPLIT ARCHITECTURE" 🧩 We built an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) triage agent with a clean division of labor: 1️⃣ UiPath LLM Gateway reads the alert and pulls out facts. 2️⃣ @typesafeai AI Jev judges 7 compliance questions in 398 ms for $0.00003. 3️⃣ UiPath LLM Gateway writes an audit rationale with real evidence quotes. --- THE REAL CLOUD RUN NUMBERS 📊 On actual UiPath Orchestrator serverless runs: • 𝐉𝐞𝐯 Decider: 591 ms | $0.000034 • LLM Decider: 5,299 ms | 0.2 platform units -> Jev was 9.13x faster on live cloud runs (15.5x median in benchmarks). --- THE REAL MAGIC: THE CONFIDENCE GATE 💡 When Jev is right, confidence is 0.89 to 1.00. When Jev is unsure on ambiguous alerts, confidence drops to 0.31. By setting a threshold at 0.50: 🟢 Greater than or equal to 0.50 -> Auto-Dispose: Handled instantly with zero touch. 🟡 Below 0.50 -> Human Review: Routed safely to compliance analysts. 100% of correct decisions pass through, and zero errors slip by. 🛡️ --- The complete agent code: The Youtube Video: Are you still asking generative LLMs to make your business decisions? 👇 @UiPath #UiPath# #Jev# #AIAgents# #EnterpriseAI# #LangGraph# #Python# #FinTech# #1AIFanatic# #CodedAgents#

The day Stripe formally announced the OpenRouter acquisition. @tryRamp made Router .com generally available. Similar to OpenRouter it uses one API to serve every major model, and each request sent to the cheapest model that clears your quality bar. Ramp says early users cut inference costs 40% on average (although is that just vs using frontier?). It's also FREE through 2026, and switching is a base URL change. Game on. Two of the best-run companies in fintech just decided model routing was critical for a financial services business. AI infrastructure is financial services. Financial services is AI infrastructure. Finkle and Einhorn. Ramp's data gives you a clue as to why they've done this. Corporate AI spend is up 20.7x since June 2025. Tokens went from rounding error to the fastest-growing line item on the P&L in 14 months. And the router is where that cost line item gets decided. Every request that passes through one is a purchasing decision. Which model gets paid, at what price, for which job. Whoever owns routing owns model procurement. Stripe monetizes money in motion. It shipped Token Billing last year, was already processing OpenRouter's payments, and now owns the gateway 8 million users go through to reach 400+ models. Ramp monetizes money saved. The whole company is a machine for cutting spend, now pointed at the fastest-growing category it has ever measured. Ramp has spent seven years doing exactly one thing, saving companies money. That's the wedge I'd they're betting on. Fintech is AI infrastructure AI infra is Fintech The future of intelligence is finance and intelligence. Finteligence.

We have officially submitted World Is Fair, our Decentralized Voting Layer, to the @colosseum Crypto World’s Fair hackathon, competing in the @RobinhoodApp Chain ecosystem track and representing robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 . @vladtenev @fern There are more than 9,000 builders in the arena. We know the competition is serious. There are exceptional teams building across every ecosystem represented there, and that is exactly why we wanted to be part of it. We are ready to compete, ready to win, and ready to scale if we earn that opportunity. World Is Fair was not created for a hackathon, the product was already live before we entered one. Our first event is already completed, the second is being prepared - communities will compete between eligible ecosystem tokens on Robinhood Chain, with the most supported token winning a buyback and burn - and the third will move into U.S. Midterm Elections. Many more formats will follow from there. We are not submitting an idea of what we might build, but something that is already live and moving. World Is Fair is a live DVL - Decentralized Voting Layer - built on Robinhood Chain. The idea started from something extremely simple. The world is already one giant competition of opinions, choices and elections. National elections. Beauty contests. Sports rankings. Talent shows. Community votes. Crypto polls. Awards. People constantly choose who they support, what they believe should win and which direction they want to see next. The problem is that almost every voting system still requires participants to trust the organizer, the platform or whoever controls the count. We believe the process itself should be verifiable. To us, OWNERSHIP is not only about owning assets. It is also about having a transparent, verifiable stake in the decisions and outcomes you help create. Onchain voting turns participation into something people can actually own, verify and stand behind. When people are asked to trust the outcome of an election, they should be able to independently check how that outcome was reached. That is why we built the voting layer onchain. Votes can be recorded publicly, results can be independently verified, and settlement can be checked without relying entirely on the party running the event. Blockchain also gives us something equally important - a natural anti-spam mechanism. Spam is almost free. Bots are cheap. Creating thousands of meaningless interactions is cheap. A token introduces economic friction. Participation can remain inexpensive for a normal user, while manipulation at scale becomes progressively more expensive. That is why robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 exists inside the product. Instead of building another token around passive holding, we wanted to give it a simple recurring use. Choose an option, vote, and verify the result onchain. robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 used through voting is removed from circulation. We also deliberately designed participation without staking, locking funds, liquidity pools, yield strategies or other DeFi mechanics that could expose somebody's capital to unnecessary risk just to cast a vote. A user can simply send robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 from the wallet they already use, or connect their wallet and vote through the interface, without putting the rest of their funds at risk. And we think the timing for this is becoming increasingly obvious. Crypto and fintech are merging. Today, a person can buy crypto with a card, receive it almost immediately and use it inside an application seconds later. As that experience becomes normal, blockchain stops being infrastructure users need to understand and becomes infrastructure they simply use. For transparent elections, we believe that is the right direction. Crypto has spent years building increasingly sophisticated financial products. We believe there is also a very large market for making onchain participation radically simpler. Every platform needs participation and every token needs attention, but in most crypto products users generate the attention, activity and volume while receiving very little of the value they help create. The platform gets the engagement, the creator gets the attention, and the participant usually gets almost nothing. We think this relationship can be different. That is why, at this stage, 100% of the Creator Fees we receive are recycled back into the ecosystem through participants, winners and event rewards. The more people participate, the stronger the system becomes. Voting creates recurring utility for robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 and reduces circulating supply. Activity creates volume. Volume creates Creator Fees. Those fees can increase rewards and give more people a reason to participate in the next event. We are trying to build an economic loop around participation itself. And this is no longer just a thesis. Our first event, Who is the G.O.A.T. of Crypto Twitter, has already concluded. 78 KOLs, founders and builders were included. More than 1,454 people participated. The event generated 104,398 onchain votes. The votes were publicly verifiable, robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 was burned through platform usage, and the protocol produced actual onchain activity on Robinhood Chain. More than 0.01% of the robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 supply has already been burned through product usage. @DefiLlama independently tracks World Is Flat as the only protocol in its dedicated Onchain Voting category across every chain it covers, not only Robinhood Chain. robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 is also supply-verified/listed on @CoinMarketCap and listed on @coingecko. We launched through PONS V2 and have been building inside the Robinhood Chain ecosystem from the beginning. And one coincidence still makes us smile - World Is Fair was already the name of our voting utility before @colosseum announced Crypto World’s Fair, so either the naming department is already aligned or the lore is getting out of control. :) The G.O.A.T. election was only V1. The second event is already being prepared. And after that comes Event #3#: An independent, unofficial onchain U.S. Midterm Election. Not an official U.S. election and not a replacement for one. A separate public experiment where people can express their choice under transparent rules and anyone can independently verify the result. Then we can compare that onchain signal with the official real-world outcome. Crypto Twitter was simply the easiest place to begin. World Is Fair should eventually extend into communities, companies, sports, music, entertainment, culture and politics. When there is a question people genuinely care about and the world wants to know what people think, we want World Is Fair to become one of the places where that question can be settled transparently onchain. Our ambition is simple: We want to become for voting what Polymarket became for prediction markets. But voting should still feel like voting. Simple enough for anyone to understand, accessible enough for almost anyone to participate, transparent enough for anyone to verify, and interesting enough that people actually want to come back. There is also another major layer to what we submitted to Crypto World’s Fair. We have intentionally not made that part public yet. The judges will see it first. Everyone else will see it when we are ready. For now, that part of the map stays covered. The broader philosophy, however, has never been a secret. World Is Flat was never about conspiracy. It is a metaphor for removing the barriers that decide who gets access, who gets heard and who gets an opportunity. The internet flattened information. Crypto flattened access to finance. Tokenization is flattening access to ownership. WIF takes that idea into participation. We see the same direction in what @RobinhoodApp and @vladtenev have spent years pushing toward - broader access to markets and opportunities that historically depended far more on institutions, geography and gatekeepers. We want to take that philosophy into a new category. Your geography should matter less. Your connections should matter less. Your starting point should matter less. Technology should allow more people to enter the arena. That is what a flat world means to us. World Is Flat = World Is Fair. And we are not entering this competition as a team building its first crypto project. Around a year and a half ago, our previous project reached a $117M peak market cap and grew to more than 21,000 organic holders. We built one of the largest English- and Arabic-speaking communities in that ecosystem. We won BNB Chain’s official liquidity support competition, receiving $500,000 in Round 1 and $200,000 in Round 2 - $700,000 in total support. The project also secured @binance Alpha and @BinanceFutures listings while remaining deeply aligned with that ecosystem. We learned what it means to build a community, survive volatility, keep people engaged and continue executing when attention moves somewhere else. This time we want to take that experience and build something that can become infrastructure. We are an international team, and we strongly believe this era has changed who gets the opportunity to build something meaningful. A small team can start with an idea and reach the world from day one. You do not need to begin with hundreds of employees or enormous amounts of capital. You need an idea people care about, the ability to execute it, and enough conviction to keep building when the destination is still far away. There is a quote often attributed to Walt Disney that captures that mentality well: “Believe in your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.” There are more than 9,000 builders in Crypto World’s Fair. Some have more funding. Some have bigger teams. Some have extraordinary technology. Some have been building longer than us. We respect that. But we did not enter the arena believing somebody else had already won. We know what we have already built, we know what people have already used, and we know how much further we want to take it. We are ready to compete, ready to win, and ready to scale if we earn that opportunity. If we win, we already know where we want to take this next - and AI agents are only one part of that vision. We can imagine a future where your favorite agent - ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant you use every day - simply sends you a request when your opinion matters: a vote, a community decision, an election or a proposal. You approve it, and the agent executes that choice onchain on your behalf through a verified KYA - Know Your Agent - identity and authorization layer. Instead of people constantly searching for where to participate, participation can come directly to them. That is only one direction inside a much broader roadmap for World Is Fair. V1 is already behind us. The second event is coming. The U.S. Midterm Election comes after that. And the hackathon submission contains another layer the public has not seen yet. If our thesis is right, the first 104,398 votes will eventually look very small. Thank you to @colosseum, @RobinhoodApp and everyone involved in creating an arena where builders can put ambitious ideas in front of the ecosystem. Application fully submitted. Now back to building. World Is Flat. World Is Fair. robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 And to the judges taking the time to review the submissions - see you inside the arena. @jillgun @_julianma @binji_x @julian_arcium @danielsapkota @arihantbansal @ethlabs_org @ponsdotfamily @cryptogle @MEADGod @0xnobi

Markets go through cycles. Good and bad, bull and bear. But despite the cycle, building and shipping continues through all of them. A little over 100 days ago, at the @ZIGChain Summit, we laid out our ambition to build an ecosystem where real financial activity comes onchain, and the value it creates ultimately flows back towards ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01. Since then, TVL has grown from around $10M to more than $60M, and we revamped the tokenomics of ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 to create a much stronger alignment between the growth of the ecosystem, the revenues we generate and the native token. But what excites me even more is the activity that explains how we got to that number. - Laser Digital, the digital asset arm backed by Nomura, invested directly in ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 and is now working with ZIG Markets to build institutional-grade onchain credit, bringing institutional risk frameworks and governance to a pipeline targeting $100M in TVL. - ADI Foundation takes us deeper into Abu Dhabi’s institutional ecosystem, with a framework focused on regulated stablecoin infrastructure for receivables, SME working capital, private credit and other productive finance use cases. - Ondo brought tokenized stocks and ETFs into the ecosystem, expanding the range of institutional-grade financial assets available onchain. - Fuze gives us a route into banks and fintechs, while Fasset connects us to more than 1M users across 125+ countries. We keep saying it, but distribution really is one of the most underestimated parts of bringing finance onchain. - And alongside all of this, we have continued building with Taurus, Beehive, Gate, HTX, Abhi, DeFa and others across infrastructure, products, liquidity and distribution. This is why ZIG Markets and our new ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 tokenomics matter so much to us. We never wanted ecosystem growth, institutional adoption, revenue and our token to exist separately. ZIG Markets earns by originating, structuring and distributing financial products, and a portion of that revenue can be used to acquire ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 from the open market. As the financial ecosystem grows, the economic alignment around ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 grows with it. The market decides when it wants to pay attention. But it doesn't change our job. Which is to keep shipping, keep growing, and make sure ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 has far more behind it than it did last time.
