The race to build autonomous AI agents is expanding beyond better models. This month’s updates span agent security, onchain payments, decentralized compute, and protocols designed to let agents operate as economic actors. Here’s what shipped across the AI sector in the last month. — ● @EllavoxAI • Launched Elladex, designed to let autonomous AI agents from different organizations discover one another and collaborate ● @orbiodotso • Launched its Agentic Launchpad on Robinhood Chain and opened an ORBIO yield market through @pendle_fi ● @proof • Launched x401, a protocol that verifies the identity and authorization of AI agents acting on behalf of humans ● @selfxyz • Launched Agent Vault, a secure way for agents to log in and make credit card payments ● @levantolabs • Launched Sage, the first private decision model and an alternative to LLMs for automated agent workflows and enterprise data routing ● @ritualnet • Launched Ritual Chain, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed specifically for autonomous AI agents ● @pharos_network • Launched its Agent Native upgrade, intended to make AI agents native participants in onchain finance ● @kivoagentxyz • Launched Kivo, an autonomous AI crypto agent marketed as "the first sovereign trader" ● @evervault • Launched Browser Tokens, a security product that lets AI agents and browser automation tools make payments and log into accounts without exposing sensitive data ● @verona_dev • Introduced verUSD, the first stablecoin for AI agents ● @usedotai • Launched Dot Motion, a native video generation and refinement feature ● @Theta_Network • Theta EdgeCloud integrated Ling-3.0-flash-Fin, a finance-focused LLM, through @zan_team router ● @Weaver_Labs • Partnered with Theta to use their decentralized GPU network as an AI compute resource for Cell-Stack, its edge and connectivity platform ● @xBuildy • BrainVault v3 went live on Theta mainnet ● @OpenAnonProject • Partnered with @ethereumfndn to develop zkAPI, a ZK protocol for accessing gated APIs with unlinkability ● @grass • Launched the Grass Contents API, an API that turns public URLs into clean HTML, Markdown, or text that agents can use ● @PayAINetwork • x402 batch settlement went live on Solana ● @apollographql • Introduced GraphOS Agent Services, giving AI agents governed access to enterprise APIs and systems ● @ava_protocol • Launched agent permissions, allowing users to safely automate DeFi actions without giving an AI agent full access to their private keys ● @autonolas • Introduced Know Your Agent (KYA), a security and evaluation feature integrated into the Olas Marketplace ● @embercurve • Ember Curve Agent 1.1 went live in @PayBox ● @xona_agent • Xona App went live, a chat-based "super agent" that turns AI agents into functional economic actors by combining chat, crypto wallets, and paid tool resources ● @ankr • Added support for x402 to let any AI agent with a wallet pay USDC for blockchain data per call ● @alibaba_cloud • Partnered with Theta EdgeCloud to bring Qwen AI models to Web3-native developers worldwide ● @Talus_Labs • Talus Protocol v2.1 went live, an upgrade for both the protocol’s developer tools and the network nodes that carry out agentic work — The pieces of the autonomous agent economy are coming together, but launching the infrastructure is only the first step. Adoption will depend on whether these systems can deliver reliable execution, meaningful utility, and security without constant human intervention. That’s all for the month. Stick around for more AI updates monthly.
