monday should always start with either a coffee or something interesting to do
if you can't nap, here's an option:
@SNVROfficial is opening 100 testnet slots for its privacy-focused ecosystem built on Oasis Sapphire
think Telegram-native messaging and payments, private swaps, routed transactions and control over what you disclose when proof is needed
get early access, test the features, find bugs and share feedback
soon test points will convert into SNVR tokens, with extra points and stablecoin reward opportunities for top testers
apply below if you're interested
🤝 Paid partnership

AI agents like Hermes can now write smart contracts and deploy them to mainnet in one conversation.
but there’s a risk: what if the code has a security flaw and nobody checks it before deployment?
that’s why i built Talos, a security plugin for @NousResearch Hermes Agent.
Talos automatically checks every smart contract Hermes writes on Solana, Sui and EVM networks as soon as the code is saved.
if it finds a bug, it shows Hermes what’s wrong so the AI can fix the code before you move forward.
it also adds a safety check before deployment:
- high-risk bugs block mainnet deployment.
- medium-risk issues require your approval before proceeding.
- testnet deployments can still go through, but you’ll get a warning.
the goal is to make sure smart contracts are checked before they go live, without slowing down the building and testing process.
Talos is open source and has been submitted to the Hermes plugin catalog.

The Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon starts now!
It runs for 7 days, with $20,000 in cash prizes and more.
Plugins are the most powerful way to extend Hermes Agent, and we want this hackathon to show what they can do. A plugin can change anything from the model Hermes runs on, where it stores its memory, where it runs commands, which messaging apps it works in and what Hermes Desktop shows. Plugins in the marketplace already let Hermes do things like control a phone or turn a photo into a printable 3D model.
Every kind of plugin is eligible, so build whatever functionality you want Hermes to have. We'll list accepted entries in the new Hermes Marketplace, where every Hermes user can install them.
Prizes
1st: $10,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
2nd: $5,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
3rd: $2,500 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
4th: $1,500 + merch + $500 creds
5th: $1,000 + merch + $500 creds
Runners up (x5): merch + $250 creds
Submissions are due 5PM EST on Nov 11th. To enter:
1. Open a pull request that adds your plugin to the Hermes plugin catalog: hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…
2. Post a demo video on X and tag @NousResearch
3. Submit both links through the form: form.typeform.com/to/FwJLvOl…
Your entry is the plugin itself. Judges score it on usefulness, reliability, polish and creativity, and they favor plugins that do more than a prompt or a skill could. Keep the demo under 90 seconds and show the plugin working.
The developer guide shows how to build and test a plugin: hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…
When submissions close, we'll open a thread for every entry in the Nous Research Discord, so you can browse all the plugins and talk to the people who built them.
You can submit the form as soon as your pull request is open. The catalog checks run once a maintainer starts them, and we review entries every few days.
If you have any questions stop by the Nous Research Discord: discord.gg/nousresearch
GLHF!

The physical world is now orderable,
@vangrid_io lets you post a bounty for a real place and someone nearby films it on their phone
proof lands onchain and you get the 3D model
1.25M+ captures 450K+ users and $600K+ USDC already settled
even ai agents can hire humans now and pay the bounty in USDC on base
ground truth for physical ai is starting to look real,
LFG

You really need a plan B, because the odds in crypto are increasingly stacked against you.
That doesn't mean you should give up on the dream of making it, but you should ask yourself what you'll do if we never get a big airdrop again, majors never break their ATHs, and we stay stuck in this memecoin scam era that only makes the cabal rich.
You need an alternative path, inside or outside of crypto, I'm only telling you this because I've seen many people spend years of their lives here and leave with nothing
