so much fun talkin’ at Agentic Summit at the University of Tokyo today. i shared a session w/ @francescoswiss (MetaMask), @rickdotbuild (Ethereum Foundation), @lepsoe (ETHGas), and @julio4__ (Flashbots). from my side, I shared what I think is still a missing piece of agentic commerce: a possible killer use case we haven’t really seen yet, beyond just repackaging existing businesses for agents, plus a few agent tools we’d actually recommend. thanks for having me @NyxFoundation @wecandaoit 🙏

Today I’ll be speaking at Agentic Summit, one of the main conferences of ETH Tokyo week. I’ll talk about machine payments, headless merchants, and how agents actually make purchase decisions. looking fwd to chatting w/ an amazing lineup @francescoswiss, @rickdotbuild, @lepsoe, @julio4__

1/ The agenda and presenting order for Colosseum's Accelerator Demo Day next week. Cohort V was our largest and highest-velocity batch yet. To get an invite to the IRL event, apply below.

2 months post-Frontier Hackathon, the gap between "got picked for Cohort V" and "actually building" is already visible. Shipping for real: @traded_gg: new indexing engine live, 6M events, 400K tokens across 5 chains @cesto_co: GTA VI basket went live August 6 @JKIndex_: private beta running, 950 new graded cards @flovia402: picked up by Stripe last week @LasoFinance: $79K/month in agent volume, on top of an already-oversubscribed raise @zonelessdev: still shipping (KYC, Stripe migration guide) Quiet on X for the past few weeks: @Dropset, @housddotfinance, @rwaodl, @Senthosxyz, @fraudsworth Everyone else is active but without a clear ship moment, including @Rosentica and @myStableCorp, the two names everyone was excited about in June, who haven't put out a new number since. $250K and a 0.7% admit rate gets you into the cohort. Demo Day is August 26, first time @colosseum's running it in person. Worth watching who has something to actually show.

Grateful to demo at @Solana’s Summer Series in front of hundreds of ppl in SF the other day. We also got to give a sneak peek of the newest @Flovia402 feature. Helping API providers get discovered, chosen over competitors, paid, and retained by optimizing their AEO across AI interfaces and major discovery channels. 🌊 Huge thanks to @joshyote, @jacobvcreech, @spacemandev, the @solana_devs team, @SolanaFndn, and @Colosseum for the opportunity. 🙏
