Last Saturday, we had @joeylaujy from our devrel team share more about building with @virtuals_io with the builders at @apubcc, in partnership with @SuperteamMY! Always great to meet builders, share what we’ve been working on, give out some swag and inference credits, and hopefully spark a few new ideas around what they can build our agent tech stack 🫡

last call for the next batch of projects we're showcasing this week! building something cool in the virtuals ecosystem (or joining our ecosystem soon)? create a PR to and we'll highlight the best products for the week!

As the primary agent infrastructure for @RobinhoodCrypto, we've been getting a lot of questions about why and how to tokenize on Robinhood Chain. Hear it directly from our co-founder @everythingempty:

Spent the weekend in HCMC 🇻🇳 with @0xjoeylau repping @virtuals_io as a tech partner and judge at the Agentic AI Build Week, the largest buildathon held in ASEAN, with 3,000+ builders (some as young as 13 years old!) and 400+ projects, and judges and participants from all over the world! What stood out to me: - Enterprise AI conversations are already moving beyond understanding AI to security and policies - Vietnam’s energetic builder ecosystem! I met builders of various ages and backgrounds, building through the night - with lots of passion for improving their craft at building AI solutions Congrats to all winners, especially @botanary_xyz and Tasmil who won the Virtuals bonus track with their interesting use of EconomyOS! And thank you @genaifund_ai for hosting an awesome event and letting us be part of it! At @virtuals_io, we equip builders with the tools to create AI agents that can operate as economic actors - and we help builders with capital formation, distribution and funding for things like inference credits too. If you’re up for the challenge, hit me up! @buildonvirtuals

Congrats to @monvera_best, @laguna_network, @blueagent_ and (@haotobuildzip) for being the shortlisted agent teams! Each of these teams wins a Spark Tier in the inference credit programme - i.e. $1k per week! The remaining teams who contributed PRs will also get a token of appreciation from the team. We'll reach to all of you with details or feel free to DM @buildonvirtuals to claim your winnings! Keep building publicly and be rewarded 🫡 @buildonvirtuals

New ACP CLI update: Support for Robinhood Chain on @virtuals_io You can now launch and trade across: HL perps, EVM + Solana spot tokens, tokenized stocks on ETH/Solana — and now stocks + tokens on Robinhood. PS: We handled the bridging work for you too :)

We're pleased to launch the official Virtuals Protocol Developer account.
