We’ve officially completed the acquisition of Bitte. Proud of what we built. Working with newer agent frameworks like @openclaw has reinforced something for me: we were building in the right direction from the start. Huge credit to @microchipgnu @surgecodes @PKuveke and the Bitte team for helping shape that vision. One thing that became clear to me is that @openclaw focused on the larger immediate market. Bitte was built around crypto transactions and web3 infrastructure, while they applied a very similar agent architecture to web2 use cases where developer demand is significantly broader today. Sometimes the difference is not the product, but the market timing and surface area. The underlying stack remains remarkably similar: hackable agent frameworks, MCP/tool calling, templated integrations, and orchestration layers, whether connecting to DEXs like @CoWSwap and @JupiterExchange @SnapshotLabs. We started as an NFT company in 2018, @mintbase pioneered one of the first NFT ticketing implementations at Berlin Blockchain Week in 2019 + @NFT_NYC, deployed singles with @deadmau5, and pivoted into AI in 2023 to build one of the first embeddable agentic DEX swap experiences powered by AI agents. Being early is both a gift and a challenge. I still strongly believe crypto rails and RWAs will play a major role in global commerce as agents orchestration matures. Building Mintbase and Bitte taught me many hard lessons, but staying true to our values and keeping our integrity throughout the years is something I’m deeply proud of. Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. For now I’m taking some time to reset, planting 77 trees in Portugal, learning to farm, and getting my hands dirty with real soil along with some side quests playing with all the neat new agentic tooling. Excited for what comes next.

WTF are we building?

People ask me why can't a cron job just do the processes like "Unstake this, swap it, bridge it, then swap and stake that after" let the epochs do their thing no need for AI. Before AI there is no way @BitteProtocol could have built a super dapp where from one prompt you can interact with @Uniswap @CoWSwap @memedotcooking @AftermathFi @coingecko @DefiLlama @BenqiFinance on so many chains: @base @avax @NEARProtocol @SuiNetwork @BNBCHAIN @gnosischain It would take a lot of brut force for devs to solve just this one use case I would love to solve for myself. In the new AI pubsub MCP landscape, once contracts are bound to LLMs, we wont just solve this one use case, but any Bitte Agents abilities suddenly become accessible. While most chain agent frameworks skipped the step of basic transaction building and jumped to autonomous TEEs as it was the fad, I think they will get bit when we see the agent ecosystem moving to self hosted easily deployable WASM blobs where they can trust their private keys and data to live. The future is so clear, @PKuveke lays it out here.
