The lengthy article from @Talus_Labs, let me summarize it
1 ) Traditional blockchains can verify states but cannot infer; smart contracts can execute logic but cannot act. Talus Network aims to empower blockchains with intelligence and action capabilities, enabling them to support more complex autonomous AI agents.
2 ) $US serves the function of coordinating assets, ensuring economic interactions between developers, users, node operators, and agents.
3 ) $US flywheel: Real usage → Real demand → Stronger tokens → Stronger ecosystem
· Applications → Workflows: More agents, tools, and workflows · Workflows → Revenue: Each workflow pays a coordination fee · Revenue → Token demand: Fees converted to $US, increasing scarcity Scarcity + Utility → Value appreciation
4 ) Functions of $US
· Workflow execution: Each workflow running on Nexus will generate economic activity paid in $US · Execution priority and coordination: Users can request higher priority executions using $US · Monetization of tools and agents: Developers can earn $US for each tool call or agent call · Staking mechanism: Operators leading the network need to stake $US to securely coordinate workflows.
Openmind can almost be said to be the only noteworthy Robotics project in the current web3 landscape.
The main reason for collaborating with CIRCLE is to use it as infrastructure to expand artificial intelligence robots and machine-to-machine payments, launching the world's first machine-to-machine payment standard.
M2M: Machine-to-Machine Payments
The M2M framework is based on the x402 protocol, $USDC, and Openmind's robot operating system.
We are getting closer and closer to the world of science fiction movies.
10% of $ZAMA will be sold through sealed Dutch auctions, using the Zama protocol to protect the privacy of bids.
The Zama auction will be held from January 12 to 15, with collection on January 20, fully unlocked at TGE.
For a streamlined version, see the last two lines.
The auction will take place in four stages:
First Stage: Shield stablecoins Time: Anytime after the mainnet launch.
Participants in the Zama auction need to be encrypted, supporting USDC, USDT, or DAI, and can directly encrypt tokens in the auction application.
----
Second Stage: Submit Bids Time: January 12 to 15.
Each bid includes a price and quantity; the price is public, but the quantity is confidential. You can submit any number of bids, with no limit on price, and can cancel bids at any time during the auction.
Prices are based on $0.005, corresponding to 55M FDV, with no upper limit on price and bid amounts.
----
Third Stage: Settlement Price and Allocation Time: January 16 to 19.
After the auction ends, bids will be executed in descending order. The lowest executed price will be the clearing price. All participants who bid above this price will ultimately pay the same clearing price.
The following three scenarios may occur:
- Bids above the clearing price: You will receive the full allocation, and any overpaid amounts will be refunded to you. - Bidding at the clearing price: If the quantity exceeds the remaining supply at that price, you will receive a proportional share of tokens, and the remaining portion will be refunded. - Bids below the clearing price: You will not receive tokens and will get a full refund.
8% of the total supply will be sold through the auction, while the remaining 2% will be sold at a fixed price, the same as the auction price, but with a cap of 1wu for each participant.
Zama OG NFT benefits are related to the auction.

After all this, to summarize:
Just go for it with a valuation of 1B from the last round of financing, which is around 0.1.
Regarding the listing path of $AT, there is an interesting thought
It is not about the spot trading of $AT on Binance, but rather @Aster_DEX
$AT was first launched on Aster and Alpha, then on contracts, and finally on spot trading
One of the reasons the project team is willing to hand over a large amount of tokens for the Alpha listing is that Alpha is one of the easiest spots to jump into
Now, Binance wants to create a more complete ecosystem, not necessarily Alpha - spot trading, but it can also be ecosystem - spot trading
Future project teams may be more inclined to list on Aster, gradually replacing Alpha's position in the listing path
What we need to pay attention to is whether there are similar opportunities to @Aster_DEX in the Binance universe
This pathway has recently been fully traversed by $AT with extreme efficiency in less than 35 days, from the Aster official announcement on October 23 to the official Binance Spot launch on November 27, directly pulling the FDV to over 600m, becoming this year's most explosive new token case in the BNB ecosystem.
It's essentially a textbook-level operation of effective resource utilization
Currently, the @fogo mainnet has not launched any dapps, only finding one angle
You can transfer USDC to Fogo from Solana; the official announcement hasn't been made, but there might be surprises
Currently, the total amount of USDC transferred to Fogo is 3.4m, with 2638 holders
Currently, only a few tokens have been deployed, $FISH should be from the Twitter account @FogoFishing, which is a fishing game on Fogo, you might want to check it out

But when I say "scam," I do not refer to the common phishing or fraud. Many projects are actually born to "create assets," which in simple terms means to issue tokens for a quick profit. However, you cannot completely label them as scams, as this is akin to "creating demand" in the real world. It is useful, but not much.
For example: bottled water. Before the invention of bottled water, people would fetch water home to boil and drink. But bottled water brands perfectly created demand by packaging themselves as "healthier and purer." Doesn't this resemble those hyped TPS public chain projects?
----
Water, still has drinkers; but does the chain truly have users?
From the previous DeFi and GameFi, to the recent L2, and the upcoming Perpdex (decentralized exchange for perpetual contracts). In the future, there will be many similar tracks, continuously repeating a process: not understanding - frenzy - collapse - rebuild.
If we pull up the trend chart of the main market (e.g., BTC, Nasdaq), we will find that the world of Web3 has simply accelerated this process.
----
Reflection of history: the mirror of the bear market
This sentence in the text precisely summarizes the current situation: "Bull markets are noise; bear markets are magnifying glasses, microscopes, and demon mirrors."
I do not know what kind of future Web3 will lead us to, but history is always strikingly similar. Just like the internet bubble mentioned in the article: from "just having a .com can skyrocket you," to the bubble bursting and values returning to zero.
Web3 is experiencing rounds of revelry - selection - revelry - selection. We can only endure such growing pains to ultimately walk on the correct path that holds actual value.
The next phase of this path will not be dominated by "pure Web3 innovations." The main line in the next five years will be the "complete integration of Web3 and traditional finance."
Web3 is transitioning from "single-player mode" to "a plugin for real-world financial systems."

I strongly recommend everyone to experience soonBase first. This is the first SVM Rollup on @base, with ultra-low gas fees and super-fast speeds, all happening on soonBase. Rather than saying SOON is a chain, it is better to say it is a universal infrastructure for WEB3. https://bridge.testnet.soo.network/home Why soonBase may be closer to the 'true use of blockchain' than any L2?
The ultimate ambition of soonBase: SVM as a modular shared execution layer
soonBase is not simply 'Solana running on Base', but the beginning of building the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as the mainstream execution module for high-frequency applications. This is not only a technical integration but also a bold exploration of the future of modular blockchains.
Today I want to talk about @KaitoAI and @ethos_network
Many people on Twitter subconsciously think that the two are the same thing, but in my opinion, the starting points of the two are fundamentally different, and the final outcomes will also differ.
First, let's talk about @KaitoAI: it's a typical outsourcing platform. I don't know if you have ever downloaded an app where many merchants pay advertising fees to the app platform. You just need to follow the tasks above, help share on Facebook, Instagram, or fill out questionnaires, etc., and the platform will give you 0.1-10 dollars, while most of the fees are pocketed by the app. Doesn't it feel a bit similar? @KaitoAI is the app, merchants are the project parties, and those who complete the tasks are us small players. Essentially, it is meant to serve the project parties, saving them time, manpower, and financial costs in finding KOLs for promotion. They just pay @KaitoAI a sum of money, and everyone will take orders autonomously. In the end, only the project parties benefit, while the small players may end up with nothing.
Now let's talk about @ethos_network: I am currently in a state of being locked out, only able to peek through the cracks of the door. If I say anything incorrect or lack a full understanding, please forgive me, everyone should know that the core product of Ethos is a browser extension, right? After downloading it, it will give you a score (the base score is 1200, which can be adjusted based on your behavior, but I don’t know why I gained 25 points). It's somewhat like an episode of Black Mirror, where the score floats above everyone's head, and each person can rate you (is the inspiration still from Black Mirror?). The level of the score represents your credit and quantifies you as a person. At this point, as long as the project party installs this software, they can intuitively know who to promote and who to exclude.
My thoughts: Actually, I don't really like the feeling of being directly scored as an individual, but I feel powerless to change it. As the saying goes, if you can't win, join in. This scoring mechanism is too one-sided, and there are also issues of traffic monopoly. It remains to be seen how the project parties will optimize the algorithm to provide everyone with a fair scoring mechanism.
