Read on to see how AgentKit stepped up smart autonomous agents interactions with blockchain tech—powered by 2k+ devs and 20k+ deployed agents.
New features, huge partnerships, and major milestones. 👇
The stats so far:
→ Millions of X impressions from community posts, demo videos & product updates
→ 30+ presentations at industry events, podcasts & X Spaces
→ 20k+ agents deployed
→ 2k+ developers building with AgentKit
→ 600k+ transactions on @Base & Base Sepolia
→ 1.5k+ forks on our @Replit templates
→ 50+ third-party integrations
→ 120+ community contributions on GitHub
Here are our top 3 moments ↓
(1) Hackathon debuts:
AgentKit hit the ground running with its first hackathons—one at our own SF AI Hackathon and a hacker house at mtndao in Salt Lake City. Dev builds ranged from DeFi agents to AI governance tools.
We also shipped @Solana support at @mtndao—expanding beyond EVM.
(2) Day-one support for @OpenAIDevs Agents SDK:
AgentKit gave developers the tools to combine OpenAI agents with onchain actions—identity, wallets, gasless transactions & more on day-one.
(3) Supercharging via Coinbase Developer Platform:
AgentKit integrated CDP’s own Smart Wallets, Faucets, and Onramps to unlock real use cases:
→ Gasless onchain transactions
→ Built-in testnet faucet, making it seamless to provision testnet funds
→ Fiat-to-crypto onramping for agent-powered applications
And of course, we had some major AgentKit product updates too:
→ Agents can now deploy smart contracts onchain
→ v0.1.0: support for third-party wallets + Solana support
→ Quickstart CLI: spin up an agent in minutes with a single command
Exciting news, the CDP Affiliate Program is live via @fuul_xyz. Earn up to $300 for onboarding your first active developer to CDP, and they can earn up to $65 for building onchain.
Here’s everything you need to know. 🧵👇
@fuul_xyz How affiliate rewards work:
→ Sign up for a @fuul_xyz account and generate a referral link
→ Share content driving devs to onboard to CDP
→ Earn $300 in ETH when your first referred dev becomes active
→ Earn $50 in ETH per active referred dev each week (capped at $500/week)
What counts as a referred active developer?
A referred active dev must:
→ Sign up via your Fuul referral link and create a Fuul account
→ Be a first-time CDP user
→ Make 100+ API calls (excluding GET requests) in a week (Mon-Sun)
The restaking protocol continues making waves as the ETH deposits pour in. Over the past week, its TVL has jumped to nearly $8B.
Let's dive in — even if you’re a protocol pro, you might learn something new. 🧵
What’s EigenLayer?
It’s a protocol designed to extend Ethereum's economic security (courtesy of ≈30M staked ETH, or nearly $88B) to secure a broader range of decentralized services.
It accomplishes this by introducing the novel concept of "restaking."
Restaking enables validators to use already-staked ETH to secure new projects (aka Actively Validated Services, AVS) — earning additional staking rewards along the way.
But it also increases slashing risk as validators must opt in to new SLA agreements w/ each AVS.
Happy @arbitrum Day! This time last year, the @offchainlabs Nitro upgrade went through and on August 31, 2021, Arbitrum One launched!
There’s no shortage of innovation coming from @offchainlabs team and today is no different. What has the team been building? 🧵
2/ Let’s start with Orbit 🪐
The ability to launch your own custom chain with ease has become invaluable. Within the Arbitrum ecosystem, Orbit allows you to do just that, offering options such as rollups like Arbitrum One or AnyTrust chains like Arbitrum Nova.
3/ Next up is BOLD: You want fraud proofs?! Arbitrum has those! You want decentralized and permissionless fraud proofs?! BOLD, their new challenge protocol for Arbitrum Nitro chains, gives you that!
1/ 🎉 Coinbase Wallet as a Service has now launched on mainnet, bringing seamless web3 onboarding to everyone, everywhere!
2/ With Wallet as a Service, users can create, access, and restore their wallets using just a username and password, all embedded directly within your app.
3/ Leveraging multi-party computation (MPC), wallets created with Wallet as a Service help protect user assets by securely dividing, encrypting, and distributing keys across multiple parties.
1/ Coinbase Cloud has been supporting @Solana since their earliest testnets. As a leading validator, we wanted to highlight Solana’s latest technical progress for the community. 🧵
2/ There are two improvements that stand out:
- The network has been upgraded to fix the issues that led to prior outages
- As a testament to the efficacy of these upgrades, the network continues to run under meaningful load and it has done so successfully over the past two weeks
3/ On network upgrades…
QUIC, Stake-weighted Quality-of-Service (QoS), and Fee Markets are all live and being fully rolled out 💪
Flashbots’ MEV-Boost is now live on Coinbase Cloud. Our ETH staking customers can now opt-in to receive MEV (maximal extractable value) rewards enabled by proposer-builder separation (PBS). Coinbase Prime and Retail customers staking ETH will earn additional rewards automatically
2/ MEV-Boost is a free and open-source middleware. It implements PBS, which minimizes the negative externalities of MEV by creating a competitive marketplace for builders to form profitable blocks and trustlessly communicate with proposers (validators) through relays.
3/ Importantly, MEV-Boost supports Ethereum's security and decentralization by enabling all validators, regardless of their size, to receive PBS-enabled MEV rewards, rather than only a small number of large, whitelisted, enterprise validators.
