The Spaces convenes builders across the agent and X402 ecosystem to share live launches, product roadmaps, and hard-won lessons from shipping agent-first infrastructure. Host Ben (Raw Ground Beef) frames Meme Pewter’s mission and moderates conversations with: the Ghosts team launching a local WebLLM, MCP-enabled AI trading platform; SoPay detailing Solana-native payments, an AI escrow pilot, and a USDC-linked Visa with token burn mechanics; Mason Hall (Merit Systems, X402 Scan) on V2 schemas, discovery, and outcome-centric metrics; K6 (UBI) introducing verifiable on-chain agents and Synapse, an RPC built for agent workloads; Louis (TG Metrics) on social analytics and Blips InfoFi campaigns with staking; Bull Dev (Engraved Protocol) building BTC mempool intelligence tools for agents; and Static (Work.fun) bridging agents to humans via micro-jobs and agent pipelines. The discussion highlights composability, monetization beyond subscriptions, secure on-chain verifiability, performance-oriented infra (RPCs, GPUs), and practical use cases—from trading agents and payments to human-in-the-loop tasks and BTC fee tooling—while closing with community motivation and a Breakpoint field report underscoring the scale of opportunity.

  • Breakpoint Update: Venue and community energy are high; next Breakpoint announced for London.

Topic: Ghosts AI Trading Platform (Ghost # 1 and Ghost # 2)

Approach and Architecture

  • Local-first LLM trading agent: Runs entirely in the browser via webLLM, leveraging the user’s GPU for sustained autonomous operation.
  • Inputs: Multiple signal sources, notably Bitquery GraphQL feeds for token “graduations” and other market events.
  • Decisioning: Combines momentum analysis, profit percentage thresholds, and other structured parameters; agents evaluate continuously via an internal loop.
  • MCP tooling: LLM extended with MCP tools to operate browser-level actions and make on-chain calls (RPC); conceptualized to research pairs, score opportunities, and execute trades (even while users sleep).

Rationale for Local Execution

  • Cost and continuity: Third-party agents (e.g., GPT) are impractical for long-running autonomous loops; local execution reduces cost and avoids remote scheduling constraints.
  • Operational resilience: Running locally ensures the agent can run “as long as the browser is open.”

Current Performance and Iteration

  • Early wins reported by Ghost # 1, though long-running instances are limited by typical desktop shutdowns.
  • Real-time telemetry: Each local instance exposes data (via MCP server) on trade performance; Ghost # 1 uses this to continuously tune algorithms against live results.

Roadmap

  • Remote execution layer: Terraform + GPU providers (e.g., DigitalOcean) to offer seamless remote clusters for users who can’t run locally (especially mobile-only users).
  • Phone-desktop pairing: Mechanism to pair a phone with a desktop; trading runs on desktop while phone receives state updates and allows partial control on the go.
  • Crowdsourced GPU mesh: “Project Nexus”-style compute network where users rent spare GPU cycles; hosts earn fees as part of a distributed trading substrate.
  • Personas and markets: Spot agent now; next phases include perpetuals, a prediction market, and a casino pivot to broaden trading strategies and agent types.

Monetization

  • Performance-based fees: Small percentage on profitable trades (“if you make money, we make money”).
  • Premium features: Potential fees for auto-scan capabilities leveraging Bitquery.

Topic: SoPay Cash (Speaker: SoPay)

Product Overview

  • Stripe-like payment gateway, natively on Solana (Shopify-style storefronts are a secondary offering; primary focus is Stripe/PayPal analogs on-chain).
  • Hosted storefronts: Merchants can accept SOL or USDC without building a website; SoPay provides endpoints/UI.
  • South America partnership: Exploring cross-border remittances; legal preparations underway.

AI Escrow and Fraud Protection

  • Building an AI-driven escrow to simulate credit-card-grade fraud protection for crypto purchases.
  • Seeking paid beta testers; escrow is central to driving user trust for storefront transactions.

Card and Token Mechanics

  • Visa-linked card: Lets users pay via crypto; because Visa rails are fiat-centric, USDC serves as the bridge.
  • Token sink: 3% cash-out fee from the card triggers SoPay token purchases and burns.

X4O2 Strategy and Scale

  • Spinning up multiple X4O2 nodes; aiming to be a major transaction participant.
  • V2 exploration pending whitepaper; composability expected to enable novel payment workflows.

Traction

  • 42 large WooCommerce integrations targeted.
  • ~102 storefronts, with adoption expected to accelerate post-escrow and improved onboarding content.

Topic: X4O2 Scan and Merit Systems (Speaker: Mason Hall)

Background and Team

  • Mason Hall: Head of Strategy at Merit Systems; ex-a16z crypto team (investing/engineering hybrid).
  • Merit Systems founders: CEO Sam Ragsael; another executive named Ryan; raised from a16z.

Merit Systems Product Set

  • Terminal: Coordination and incentive tooling for open-source projects (reward contributors based on impact).
  • Echo: User-pays monetization layer for LLMs (proxy-based accounting and billing without custom app backends).
  • X4O2 Scan: Discovery and developer UX for the X4O2 marketplace (leaderboards, direct invocation of headless resources like Etherscan’s contract interactions).

X4O2 V2 Insights

  • Schema standardization: Most “boring” but crucial V2 improvement; standardizing input/output schemas and discovery extensions simplifies integration.
  • Measurement challenges: V2’s allowances/refunds complicate “usage” metrics; spend can be gamed (wash volume), so they’re exploring outcome-based metrics and reputation layers.
  • Vision: A universal language for value flow enables composability; developers monetize building blocks, combine them into workflows, and monetize those abstractions.
  • MCP analogy: Realizing MCP’s ambition by composing billions of tools/resources so agents can do anything a human can do (and more).

Roadmap for V2 Support on X4O2 Scan

  • Phased rollout: Start with the /developer page to ensure correct schema ingestion; broader site support later.
  • Backward compatibility: Careful design to avoid breaking V1 use; will leverage quality examples/snippets from the community before full integration.
  • Community support: Telegram chat for X4O2 contributors; Mason can DM links on request.

Topic: UBI (K6) and Synapse RPC

Problem Framing

  • Trust gap: Conversational AIs can be persuasive but opaque; financial operations must be verifiable and transparent.
  • Conventional infra limitations: Standard RPCs choke under agent workloads (high concurrency, low latency needs, simulation-heavy pipelines).

UBI’s Agentic System and SDK

  • Agents: Execute transactions with rule-based policies; interact across protocols; full on-chain auditability.
  • SDK: Direct agent access to protocol integrations; built with privacy, verifiability, and user ownership as core principles.

Synapse RPC

  • Agent-optimized RPC: Built to handle agent traffic patterns (batching, retries, sustained concurrency); reduces latency spikes.
  • Real-world usage: Nova AI reported weeks of active usage with positive performance.
  • X4O2 integration: Aims to embed richer data into transaction receipts; on-chain X4O2 indexing coming.

Aspirational Use Cases

  • Autonomous capital manager: On-chain treasury management (rebalance positions, adhere to risk constraints, auditable workflows).
  • Agentic payments network: UB-native agent-to-agent economy, potentially including RPC “sub-keys” resale and advanced metering.
  • Merkle-proof systems: Continuation of UB’s long-standing approach to provable state handling.

Topic: TG Metrics and Blips (Speaker: Lewis)

Origin and Focus

  • TG Metrics began by quantifying Telegram community engagement and sentiment for crypto projects; expanded to analyzing X (Twitter) activity.
  • Data-rich analytics: Tracks 600–700 projects via integrations with launchpads and APIs; assigns a 1–100 community strength score.

Blips (InfoFi Program)

  • Fair marketing: Instead of costly KOL campaigns, Blips lets projects reward grassroots contributors who generate real engagement.
  • Campaign mechanics: Projects launch “from scratch” or “post-launch” campaigns; leaderboard ranks based on actual social impact (not follower counts).
  • Traction: Rapid growth (10x site access, >1,000 registered within two weeks); paused briefly to improve scoring and systems.

Next Iteration

  • Revamped points model; introduction of TG Metrics token staking to boost participant points.
  • Launch timing: New campaigns expected to start next week.
  • B2B expansion: Plans to offer agencies and teams deeper analytics modules (e.g., KOL effectiveness across social channels); on-chain wallet tracking is not currently a short-term focus.

Topic: Engraved Protocol (Speaker: Bull Dev)

Scope

  • MCP tools for Bitcoin data: Initial MVP connects to a mempool API to surface base-layer transaction data.
  • Iteration strategy: Started high-level (no node spin-up) due to hackathon time constraints; now incorporating Solana protocol libraries and moving towards more sophisticated endpoints.

Planned Endpoints and Utility

  • Full mempool API coverage to enable richer analytics and reporting.
  • Post endpoints: Potential for transaction submission pathways.
  • Custom tools: Practical utilities like UTXO fee calculators with time-range recommendations and smart UTXO consolidation.

Integration

  • Early adopter of X4O2 Jobs workflows; committed to rapid feedback and iteration with the community.

Topic: Work.fun (Speaker: Static)

Platform Concept

  • Human-agent bridge: Micro-job marketplace where agents and humans collaborate.
  • Job types: Boosting (e.g., DEX Rockets, X post visibility), custom jobs (comments, memes, screenshots, short creative gigs), and worker stores (sell small services: banners, bots, etc.).

Agent Integrations

  • X4O2 Scan agents: Agents can create and pay for jobs directly from the discovery interface.
  • ChatGPT integration: “Work GPT” can create jobs; payments via an address or via a Work.fun API key handed to the GPT agent.

Builder Blocks and Pipelines

  • Telegram bridge: X4O2 endpoints to send messages to linked Telegram accounts; agents can communicate without bespoke Telegram bots.
  • Text-to-speech endpoints: General building blocks reusable in X4O2 Jobs pipelines.
  • Example pipeline: Sierra agent fetches crypto news → summarizer → thumbnail generator (with PFP filter) → text-to-speech → deliver audio newsflash via Telegram.

Vision and Timeline

  • Six-month outlook: More autonomous agents paired with Work.fun’s human tasks to validate content, gather sentiment, and perform lightweight labeling/review.
  • Emphasis on discoverability and ease of composition: Lower the barrier for agent builders with modular blocks and pipelines.

Topic: Breakpoint (Speaker: Branch Manager)

  • Atmosphere: Expansive venue, high energy; builders deeply focused on solving large-scale problems.
  • Next location: London announced.
  • Insight: Institutional capital is flowing into agent/RPC/X4O2 problem spaces, often seeking to empower independent builders.

Community and Closing (Speaker: Dark Matter “Fox”)

  • Message: Prioritize health, routines, and supportive communities; keep showing up consistently.
  • Initiative: Planning a DeFi conference in London to showcase builders from this ecosystem.

Observations and Themes Across the Space

  • Autonomy vs. verifiability: Across Ghosts, UBI, and Work.fun, the emphasis is on agents that act continuously while being auditable (on-chain metadata, receipts, provenance).
  • Local vs. cloud: Ghosts showed a compelling local webLLM path; others aim to extend to remote GPU clusters for scale and mobile users.
  • Composability and monetization: X4O2 V2 and Merit Systems’ composer concepts highlight a path to “Lego-like” combinations of tools, with new pricing models (allowances, outcome-based fees) and automatic monetization.
  • Data and discovery: Social analytics (TG Metrics) and resource discovery (X4O2 Scan) are becoming pivotal in signaling useful agents/workflows and accelerating iteration.
  • Payments and trust: SoPay’s AI escrow + card integration and UBI’s verifiable agent execution reflect a pragmatic drive to make crypto transactions safer and more mainstream.

Actionable Takeaways

  • Builders:
    • Explore V2 schema standardization and design resources to be easily composable; consider outcome-based pricing where feasible.
    • Integrate MCP tooling for research/trade automation and browser actions; instrument agents to emit metrics for real-time tuning.
    • Use discovery layers (X4O2 Scan, X4O2 Jobs) to test headless resources and chain building blocks; drive towards workflows.
  • Agent platforms:
    • Consider phone-desktop pairing for state sync and control, plus crowdsourced GPU meshes for scalable compute.
    • Build verifiable pipelines where every state change and decision is auditable.
  • Payment projects:
    • Pair AI escrow with clean storefront UX, educational content, and fraud protections that match or exceed card networks.
    • Leverage card sinks (buy-and-burn) for sustainable token mechanics.
  • Community leaders:
    • Use social analytics and fair InfoFi campaigns to mobilize real engagement cost-effectively.
    • Bridge humans and agents with micro-tasks to validate content, sentiment, and design before publication.
