🎯 A major milestone on the road to embodied intelligence. This week, @GoogleDeepMind's Gemini Robotics VLA reaches an important milestone in our joint mission to bring AGI into the physical world. By introducing agentic capabilities - the ability to reason, plan, actively use tools, and generalize - we’re moving beyond reactive models and into a new era of robotic autonomy. We’re proud to be collaborating on Gemini Robotics 1.5 with Google as we gear up to deploy Gemini-powered Apollo humanoid robots in additional customer facilities. It’s a critical step in transforming a powerful model into a field-ready system that performs with consistency, reliability, and purpose.

We are hiring electrical engineers, cell biologists and microfabrication engineers to join our founding team! We're looking for smart and caring people. If that's you please apply, or tag someone who is incredible. 🚀 🧠 axoneurotech.com/careers

We love seeing experimentation at the intersection of DeFi and AI agents. Looking forward to @SVF_AI going live soon and discovering what their on-chain agents can do. One of the coolest use cases we've seen for Uni v4 hooks!

Congrats to both teams! We have always believed that intents and solvers will completely change crypto UX and end liquidity fragmentation. We’re super excited about the expertise that the @CatalystSystem team brings, helping LI.FI expand to any VM and provide the best execution for its users.

🧵 Introducing Silicon Valley Fund (SVF): Built on Uniswap v4 and a winner in the most recent @AtriumAcademy Hookathon, SVF is an autonomous agent-run hedge fund platform that introduces new mechanics and ushers in the next generation of agent operated funds.

Introducing GrugBay: a native @Berachain dApp incubated by @SemanticLayer, bringing AI agents to the NFT space. We are using AI agents to make NFT fun and fair again. Full blogpost can be found here: semanticlayer.io/blog/11

1/ The era of Autonomous Capitalism is here. Semantic Layer is making it possible with agent-specific sequencing, pushing AI agents beyond hype to real on-chain actions. GrugBay—our AI-driven NFT platform—is coming soon. Dive in for the full story: semanticlayer.io/blog/9

If you're an app developer wanting to explore application-specific sequencing and prevent MEV leakage, you can learn more about Semantic Layer here:

The Semantic Layer team is not just building this new infrastructure but also two innovative applications built on top of it to showcase its strengths -  more on this coming soon!

Semantic Layer is building the infrastructure to allow dApps to define how transactions are ordered and executed, preventing value leakage and allowing for more customization in value distribution.

dApps are becoming more aware of this issue and are exploring ways to prevent this leakage so they can redirect the value in a way that’s more beneficial for them, such as sharing it with their users, LPs, or keeping it for themselves.

Currently, a lot of value generated by dApps (particularly DEXes) is captured by other participants in the transaction supply chain, mainly searchers, block builders, and validators.

We are excited to announce our participation in @SemanticLayer’s seed round. We believe Semantic Layer can help dApps solve one of the biggest challenges they face today: MEV leakage.

Introducing Semantic Layer! [1/7] Today, dApps are leaking hundreds of millions in MEV revenue, hurting users the most. In 2022 alone, $300M was extracted from users and dApps as MEV. This real yield could have gone to users or dApps, but instead was extracted by MEV middlemen.

Semantic Layer's Vision, a thread: At the heart of Semantic Layer’s innovation is the MEGA TX (Make Ethereum Great Again) standard, solving all your ASS pains. The MEGA TX standard introduces Verifiable Sequencing and Aggregation Rules (VSR and VAR)...

If you want to learn more about what @romeprotocol is building, we encourage you to check their docs and reach out to the team if you want to explore the different ways Rome's services can support rollups. docs.rome.builders/

Rome unlocks new functionality for the Solana L1 and the potential for additional sources of value capture. We are also seeing a strong trend of teams wanting to explore deploying as rollups on Solana, which Rome’s infrastructure is in a great place to support.

Furthermore, Rome will offer rollup-as-a-service to enable application developers to easily deploy rollups that benefit from Rome’s underlying infrastructure. Additionally, Rome will offer an SDK for searchers to execute atomic cross-chain transactions.

Transactions from rollups that opt into Rome’s SHS are ordered and executed on Solana, and settled on Ethereum. Rollups can choose to use Celestia or Solana for Data Availability.

Rome allows for atomic composability across rollups and the Solana L1. This enables unique functionality such as cross-chain flash loans and atomic bridging, in which a contract in one chain can access and take actions on another chain’s state, with the condition that either all or none of the transactions succeed.
