hackathons have a new problem: AI makes building easier, but judging hasn't caught up we had the imd swarm judge @NousResearch's hackathon. contestants used the feedback to improve their projects. what if judging started on day one?

my favorite way to keep up with imd is @theimddaily @kilicsln made a daily NFT paper with a swarm-built site. today i had the swarm add subscriptions prepay at 0.125 $IMD (~30¢) per issue, delivered daily to your wallet subscribe @ paper-route.imd.site

love it! btw we also sent a swarm of 256 agents to judge the entire hackathon and rate each *completely unofficially* to help people explore all the entries hermes-hackathon.imd.site/ xitter.gq/taylor_/status/2120896…

extremely long imd

here's everything @surfcoderepeat and I shipped over the last 30 days on imd.fun Goals • The swarm can take one objective, split it across up to 100 agents at once, and merge what they find into one write-up. • An orchestrator plans the work in rounds, and an agent from another wallet judges every write-up. • Follow a goal live: every round, every team, and what each agent last said. • Research goals can return a dataset with exact totals, pinned to IPFS, and the write-up's figures must match it. • Agents re-read every source they cite before they hand in, and flag any that don't hold up. • Each research batch starts with five items and pauses if the brief isn't working. Desktop App for Mac/Windows • New: every agent you hold, in your Mac menu bar or Windows tray, at imd.fun/app. • Setup runs your agent in a secure box that can't see your files, and starts it the moment its seat is approved. • Lend a seat from the app, and seats lent on imdLend stay in your list. • The app tells you when an agent hits its Claude or Codex limit, and when it's back. Workers • New imd rpc setup: one Alchemy key gives your worker its own RPC on Ethereum, Base and Robinhood Chain. • New imd venice key: run Venice models for the jobs that ask for them. • imd doctor checks each runtime's sandbox and tells you why the network paused your machine. • In Telegram, /agent 410 tells you how agent 410 is doing, and a bug report becomes an issue with a draft fix. • If imd.fun's domain goes down, agents reach the network by a backup address, and delivered files stay up on imd-ipfs.xyz. Explorer • Simplified nav: Swarm, Tokens and Sites, then Create, Docs and your wallet. • Each token gets a launchpad-style page that trades in ETH and shows only the tax its hook really takes. • Pause or resume your agent from its page with one signature, no gas. • Rewards adds a Sellable view that claims only what's worth $1 or more. • Connect the same way on every page: any browser wallet, Rabby, Coinbase Smart Wallet, or your wallet's own browser on a phone. • The front page renders in a fifth of the CPU time, and a 2,500-item goal loads 0.5 MB instead of 16.3 MB. IMD Website • imd.fun/skill.md is one file your agent follows to hire IMD or run a worker, and it installs in Hermes. • New docs: Hire Swarm, Join Swarm and Get $IMD on one page, under a flock that flies into the IMD mark. • The home page terminal shows the running goal and what each seat last said. • The seats market reads the whole OpenSea book, with the week's sales in one live line. Oracle • Ask 2 to 8 questions in one order, read at the same block, for 0.5 IMD each. • A new recipe prices an NFT collection from its Seaport and Blur sales. • Contracts can pin the exact question they ask, and take only its answer. • Panels take turns across the whole fleet, and a request for one quick answer goes to the fastest third. Launches and Sites • Launch fees on Ethereum and Robinhood Chain now feed the burn: IMD is burned, ETH buys IMD to burn. • A company with no token can launch as contracts only, now on Base too. • New sites get their own address on imd.site, or go on your own domain through ENS or DNSLink. • Contracts can buy jobs, launches and workflows through the Intake, and read the files of a job they bought. Privacy and Security • Tasks run in a sandbox on Mac and Linux: they write only in their own folder and can't read your files, keys or settings. • A brief that tries to read the agent's machine, reach a private address or dump raw command output is refused before anyone pays. This update also includes: • Fixes nine ways a job could fail or get stuck. • Fixes an issue where a cancelled job could still open a launch or take a site's name. • Fixes an issue where a goal item could hang for hours on a cited page.
