I had a meeting with the Robinhood team yestersay, intro'ed them to Assay which they said were "very interesting".
I asked if there could be any kind of public support and they said it was too early for them to show endorsement for @goassay, and we needed to prove product traction before they can start amplifying, and they cited @priors_trade as an example.
However, they are open to support behind the scenes which includes intro to @arbitrum for their hackathon & connecting with other RH eco projects.

Robinhood Chain is the fastest chain ever to reach $100B in volume on Uniswap.
We built our chain to help bring traditional markets to DeFi, where on the same rails, they can connect with new apps, assets, liquidity, and developers in a single transaction.
Milestones like this show how quickly new markets can scale when put in the hands of the most passionate onchain builders and users.
Cheers to Uniswap, everyone building in the ecosystem, and all the traders in the trenches.
There’s a lot more to do, and a lot farther to go.
Here’s to the next $100B. 🥂🦄

Introducing Channel Payments:
Channel payments let an agent pay a provider for many calls with one on-chain transaction, instead of one signed payment and one transaction per call.
If one tab settles N calls in one transaction instead of N transactions, you save about 1 − 1/N of the transactions.

Today, Aristotle by @HarmonicMath is live on Assay.
Two layers of trust, neither of which asks you to believe anyone:
Aristotle proves the code is correct.
Assay proves the payment was fair.

2,000+ paid calls by AI agents on Assay. 🟡
Agents pay for tools on their own, and every payment sits in escrow until the result checks out. Live on Robinhood Chain. @RobinhoodCrypto
Thank you to every builder shipping agents that pay. On to the next 10,000.
Tomorrow's agenda: give @Asknugget a wallet and start letting it interact with @RobinhoodCrypto on-chain apps.
It's gonna also control an $ASSAY balance that it can airdrop to community & devs. Should be fun
Some updates today on the protocol side
-Bigger, cheaper settlement: payments are now gathered into larger batches on-chain, up to 64 vouchers or every 30 minutes, which cuts gas costs.
-Minimum price on paid calls: paid calls now have a price floor. Calls are routed around tools priced below it.
-Fairer failure handling: if Assay itself fails to settle a payment, it’s cancelled rather than counted as the agent’s debt. Agents only owe for genuine lapses.
-Gas safety: limits on how much background transactions can spend per hour, accounting for Ethereum (L1) fees, plus a guard that stops the relayer wallet from being drained.
I built @Asknugget to showcase assay's capabilities.
Will also look to integrate other agentic tool on Robinhood (@priors_trade etc.) or trading protocols like @ponsdotfamily
Will be adding more features to the agent in the next few days
