So what’s next for Cerebro? Now that both the Launchpad and Merry Men have been pushed into beta, I think the first thing we need to do is thank the community that stayed with us and believed in the original vision: building an economy around inference. When we first laid out Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3, they were never supposed to be three random products. Phase 1 distributed inference. Phase 2 gave that inference a market. Phase 3 gave agents and applications a reason to actually consume it. Everything was built to eventually connect. Could we have moved faster in certain areas? Absolutely. But being first means very little if what you ship doesn’t work. We chose to spend more time getting the foundation right, even when that meant watching other projects move quickly around similar ideas. And I’m not going to pretend that was always easy to watch. When we started showing what we were building around the Launchpad, seeing $ORBIO later move in a very similar direction was frustrating. I’m not going to sit here and claim what happened behind closed doors or say where their idea came from, because I can’t prove that. But from our side, the timing hurt. When you’re a smaller project building something publicly, another project releasing a similar concept can take the attention away almost overnight. Suddenly something you’ve spent the last two weeks building and pushing toward doesn’t feel new anymore to people watching from the outside. For a while, it genuinely felt like we got punched in the face for showing our hand early. But maybe that’s part of building in public. We could sit around arguing about who thought of what first, but that doesn’t move Cerebro forward. The only answer is to keep shipping and make what we’re building impossible to confuse with anyone else. The Launchpad is in beta. Merry Men is in beta. The three phases are connected. Inference is being distributed, traded and consumed. The economy around inference that we talked about from the beginning is no longer just something sitting on a roadmap. And we’re not stopping here. More features on the Launchpad will start being unlocked very soon. Merry Men will continue receiving updates as well, with more of its privacy features being opened up piece by piece. Both are still in beta for a reason. We’ll keep testing, improving and adding what we’ve been working on until both are ready to come out of beta. There’s still a lot we haven’t shown yet.

Merry Men is officially live in Beta. Web: TG: After weeks of development and dropping hints about what's coming, we're proud to finally introduce Merry Men, Cerebro's privacy-focused AI agent. Merry Men allows you to shield supported cryptocurrencies and transfer them to a destination wallet through a conversational interface. No account registration, no handing over your private keys or seed phrase, and no giving up control of your wallet. Merry Men is designed to add another layer of privacy by reducing the publicly visible connection between sending and receiving wallets, without making users navigate complicated privacy tools. Here's what's available in the beta: 192 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, LTC and many more. Asset shielding and private transfers, allowing you to shield supported assets and send them to your chosen destination wallet. AI assisted execution, guiding you through the shielding and transfer process. We've also made Merry Men available in two versions: Web and Telegram. Both offer the same functionality, so you can use whichever is more convenient. As this is still a beta release, some of the 192 supported assets may experience transaction failures. We're actively expanding compatibility, resolving issues and improving reliability across the supported networks. From Inference Rewards and the Marketplace to the Launchpad and Social Agents, we've been steadily bringing each part of Cerebro to life. Merry Men is another major release, introducing privacy-focused financial operations to the ecosystem. And there's something worth mentioning here. Asset shielding is only one part of what we have planned for privacy. Merry Men will continue expanding as we introduce more features and unlock additional privacy-focused capabilities. There's still plenty we about to release. For now, the first part is ready for you to try. We’ll also be releasing a step-by-step demonstration tomorrow, walking you through how to shield your assets and transfer them using Merry Men. Let's keep going.🧠

CEREBRO LAUNCHPAD BETA IS NOW LIVE. Phase 3 is officially starting to open up. The first public beta of the Cerebro Launchpad is now live and ready for the community to use. This is an early beta, so only a limited set of features are available for now. The main goal at this stage is to get the Launchpad into the hands of real users, test it under actual usage and continue improving the experience while the remaining pieces are being completed. The fully released version is already being worked on and will bring a much broader set of features as the Launchpad develops. For anyone jumping in today and wondering where to start, we’ll be publishing a dedicated article on X explaining how the Launchpad works, how to use it and what you can currently do during the beta. Our devs will also be posting a further update later today going deeper into the work behind the Launchpad, what’s currently being tested and some of what’s coming next. This is still the beginning of Phase 3, so expect the Launchpad to change quite a bit from what you see today. For now, the doors are open. Cerebro Launchpad Beta is live. 🧠

The whole team has been pretty locked in the last couple of days, so here’s a proper update on where things are with Cerebro. The new Cerebro website is now live. The team has been rebuilding it around where the protocol is actually heading rather than continuing to patch the old version every time something new gets added. There are still a few things being cleaned up, but it gives Cerebro a much better foundation for what comes next. A couple of days ago we mentioned that more models were being added to the inference API. The latest update from the team is that the work is nearly finished, and everything should be completed by the end of tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Things will be patched in as they’re ready, so check the dApp and give it a refresh from time to time. Something new might appear before there’s even a post about it. On the credit side, distribution has been moving way faster than expected. Seeing more inference being distributed and more wallets participating has been really good to watch. It’s also nice seeing how many people genuinely believe in what Cerebro is trying to build. There was a comment the other day asking something along the lines of: “If too many inference credits keep getting distributed, doesn’t that eventually dilute the economy?” It’s a fair question, but it misses the other side of what’s being built. Credits aren’t designed to just accumulate forever. Agents consume them. That part will make a lot more sense as the next pieces of Cerebro start coming online. And one last thing. Once the Launchpad and Merry Man are released, the current docs are getting completely replaced. They were written for a much earlier version of Cerebro, and the project has already moved quite a bit beyond them. The next version will go much deeper into the architecture, inference infrastructure, APIs, protocol mechanics and how everything actually connects underneath. For now, the team is back at it. Plenty going on behind the scenes. Let's keep going.

MERRY MAN // DAY 2 Yesterday we gave you the first glimpse. Today, let’s clear up what we mean by privacy focused AI. A good reference point is what Venice AI has been building around VVV. Venice showed that using powerful AI doesn’t have to mean handing over a permanent record of everything you ask it. Their architecture includes local conversation history, zero retention inference, anonymized access to third party models and stronger privacy options through TEE and end to end encryption. Merry Man is our own take on where that idea can go inside Cerebro. Not just private chat, but a privacy focused agent that can actually work with the things you normally hesitate to give an AI. Your codebase. Private documents. Internal research. Personal data. Work that shouldn’t automatically become somebody else’s dataset. And there’s another part of the Venice/VVV model that caught our attention. VVV connects its token economy to access to private inference. Cerebro has been approaching the same broader problem from a different direction: holders are already earning inference credits, and Merry Man gives us somewhere native to start putting that inference to work. Private intelligence with an actual compute economy underneath it. That’s your Day 2 spoiler. Previews are coming soon.🧠
