eth moved last week and the whole market said bet. 🐐 Yuga nfts starting to move again… might just kick off the next wave of nft2.0 It’s been 5 months and yep, I’m still apin’.

Excited to announce we’re leading a $15M seed round in Poseidon, which was incubated by @StoryProtocol and is building a decentralized data layer to coordinate supply and demand for AI training data. The first generation of AI foundation models were trained on data that seemed to be an effectively unlimited resource. Today, the most accessible resources such as books and websites have mostly been exhausted, and data has become a limiting factor in AI progress. Much of the data that remains now is either lower quality or off-limits due to IP protections. For some of the most promising AI applications — across robotics, autonomous vehicles, and spatial intelligence — the data doesn’t even exist yet. Now these systems need entirely new types of information: multi-sensory, rich in edge cases, captured in the wild. Where will all this physical-world data come from? The challenge isn't just technical — it’s a problem of coordination. Thousands of contributors must work together in a distributed way to source, label, and maintain the physical data that next-gen AI needs. We believe no centralized approach can efficiently orchestrate the data creation and curation that’s needed at the required level of scale and diversity. A decentralized approach can solve this. @psdnai allows suppliers to collect the data AI companies need, while ensuring IP safety via Story’s programmable IP license. This seeks to establish a new economic foundation for the internet, where data creators get fairly compensated for helping AI companies power the next generation of intelligent systems. Poseidon’s team, led by Chief Scientist and Cofounder @SPChinchali, brings deep expertise in AI infrastructure. Sandeep is a professor at UT Austin specializing in AI, robotics, and distributed systems, with a PhD from Stanford in AI and distributed systems. Head of Product and Cofounder @sarickshah spent a decade as a machine learning engineer, scaling AI products for large enterprises across financial services, telecom, and healthcare. We are excited to support Poseidon in its work to solve one of the most critical bottlenecks in AI development.

Anyone remembers the Secret Project Yuga is working on? It was said to: - involve AI & an IP they made - reward apes & deed holders - come out before end of June It’s almost July now & we haven’t known the secret yet 😭 Wen Secret Project? @CryptoGarga

Guess who’s never buying gas again

There’s ~5,500 unique BAYC holders. If I had to guess, maybe 6k to 7k apes are actually in circulation. The rest are locked, diamond handed or lost to burn wallets. That’s not a lot of supply especially when institutions start circling. not much time left for individuals to scoop one under 20.

Nothing hits like seeing nft sweep screenshots back on my feed. Locked, loaded, bull run activated.

Two distinct issues programmable IP was built to fix: 1) The internet has already been scraped by LLMs, but IP-safe, specialized data remains scarce 2) Legacy IP systems can’t keep up with remix culture or endless content, forcing the $70T IP economy to stay illiquid Game on.

Quick tech transparency: On ACP: we’ve been in protective safe mode for ~13h. If your jobs looked “stuck,” here’s what happened & what’s next Yesterday ETH made a sharp move (toward ~$3.4K). When gas surges fast, estimates can lag. Our infra provider’s feed under‑estimated needed gas, so some ACP txns were sent “too cheap” & got ignored / stuck onchain. For devs - this would explain why you might not have been able to register your agent onto the ACP registry For users - rather than spam failed retries (costing you fees & creating junk), we paused outbound submits / prevented you from "Start Chatting" Nonetheless, we are working with our wallet provider in rolling out the fixes. Thanks for the patience while we improve the rails. Fixes rolling out soon. In a few hours. Ty for patience on our beta flight Virgenity
