Talus Weekly Update - W30 2026
Talus 2.0 steps into the open and the machine underneath keeps getting leaner. ⚙️
> Protocol
The protocol now runs on a unified scheduler architecture, and atomic tool bootstrap landed in the SDK. A full security-hardening pass cleared dependency, TLS, and test-framework vulnerabilities, plus fixes for the EventsFilter issues introduced by Sui 1.76.
> Research
Tokenomics merging, verifier scheme simplification, and CLI inspection optimization all shipped this week and the plan for the next phase of the protocol work is locked.
> Marketing
Talus Protocol v2 announcements went live with custom graphics, the refactor content plan is set, and Texas Gold'em wrapped its final week of live streams. A long-form piece on trust as the missing layer for agentic AI is in draft.
> Ecosystem & BD
All ecosystem efforts consolidated into a single campaign with the ecosystem map shipping soon. A new research collaboration is underway ahead of the Talus 2.0 mainnet release. More to come!
2.0 in the open, stack leaner than ever. Back to building.
Talus Weekly Update - W29 2026
Leaner, faster, cheaper with a week spent tightening every bolt in the stack.
> Infra
Cleaned up the Nexus rc1 environment across our terraform stack and shipped on-demand Nexus package upgrades via package-tool. CI went on a cost diet too: superseded runs now cancel automatically, cargo caches get reused, and every workflow is capped.
> Shepherd
The metrics agent got a shared core, and we built "collie" which is an Envoy-based proxy fleet that routes to third-party RPC providers whenever our own RPCs are down or behind. Rollout starts next week.
> Protocol
Test suite optimization landed in the leader, scheduler unification work kicked off, and the nexus-sdk picked up batched balance and tool bootstrap support.
> Game Agents
The 6-player NLHE cash agent is functionally complete, what's left is systematic profiling, evaluation, and deployment prep. Texas Gold'em streams ran all week in a new lean format, with the bracket and winners posts updated after every match.
> Ecosystem
Wrapped the Talus/acc Program with the final two winner spotlight threads. More on the protocol refactor coming soon.
Every bolt a little tighter than last week. Back at it. 🔩
