If an AI agent spends your money, who authorized it? And how would you prove it went beyond what you allowed?
Our President and CTO Michael Steuer spoke to Investing.com about building accountability into machine payments.

I see this narrative a lot... the claim that there is no solution to the AI Alignment problem. We better find one! We believe @ManifestNetwork is working towards a solution with our many partners including @rendernetwork @MorpheusAIs @AskVenice and many others. That solution starts with Sovereignty for the individual over the AI systems they interact with. We invite @a_nnawang @hilbertspaess and all other AI researchers searching for solutions in the AI Alignment and Safety space to join us on the quest for AI that works for humanity, and not towards our destruction.

If you are in Wyoming, dont miss a chance to learn about the "quantum fix" that is American Fortress. No hard forks, every token. They said it couldnt be done, meet the guy who did it. We are happy we did!! @SarsonFunds @scottmelker @MarioNawfal
The industry is debating whether to freeze Satoshi's wallets before quantum computers can crack them.
That's the wrong question. What we should be asking is, why aren't wallets quantum-resistant by default?
@MehowHacks will be talking about exactly that at the @SALTConference in Wyoming.
See you there.

Up to $470B in Bitcoin could be exposed to future quantum attacks, per Bloomberg.
Every migration plan so far asks you to move funds and change addresses. Ours doesn't.

Quick breakdown of how stealth address systems actually work:
1. Someone sends to a human-readable name
2. Their wallet computes a brand new receive address that has never existed before
3. Only the sender and recipient can derive that address
4. The address is never reused
5. It works across every chain and every token
To an outside observer, every payment appears to go to a completely different wallet.
Because cryptographically, it does.

Q2 2026 just became the most hacked quarter in crypto history.
83 incidents.
Double the previous record for attack frequency.
But the dollar losses weren't record-breaking.
The shift is the story: not a few giant exploits anymore. A constant stream of smaller ones.
The attack surface didn't shrink as the industry matured. It multiplied.

From our data center to yours! The @ManifestNetwork team wishes everyone an amazing 4th of July!
We will be here keeping the lights on and working on our cable management.
Your data doesn't take holidays off, neither do we.
HTTP has had a 402 status code since 1991.
It means Payment Required.
For thirty years, nothing used it — because there was no machine-native way to pay for a web request in real time.
That problem is now solved.
x402.dial.wtf is the internet's payphone. Walk up. Pay in USDC. Get a real US phone number provisioned in two minutes. Send SMS for $0.05.
No account. No API key. No 10DLC registration queue. No carrier paperwork.
Your wallet is the credential. The number is yours when the payment settles.
This is what HTTP payment infrastructure looks like when it actually works.

Most compliant privacy systems have a backdoor.
They call it a "viewing key" - a master key that lets a third party see into your transactions. For compliance, supposedly.
But a viewing key is God mode. Someone, somewhere, can decide to look at your activity without your consent.
The better answer: no viewing key at all. The recipient can reveal their funds to whoever they choose, but no third party can decide for them.
Compliance without a backdoor. Disclosure without God mode.
Soon
What "privacy by default" actually means in practice:
— Your wallet generates a new address for every transaction automatically
— Your balance is never visible to people you haven't transacted with
— Your transaction history can't be traced back to a single permanent identifier
— Compliance is built in, not bolted on afterward
None of this requires a separate privacy coin. None of it requires a mixer.
None of it requires the user to do anything differently than they do today.
That's what "default" means. It just works. Invisibly.

$600B in crypto sitting exposed to quantum right now. 100% of Solana addresses.
All of Satoshi's BTC. We have the answer, and it's just a software update.
Thank you @CoinDesk team for covering the news. Read more below.

🚨THE FBI CREATED A FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY.. LISTED IT ON UNISWAP.. HIRED MARKET MAKERS TO PUMP IT.. THEN ARRESTED EVERYONE WHO SAID YES..
THIS IS THE CRAZIEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION IN CRYPTO HISTORY!!!
The FBI built an actual ERC-20 token on Ethereum called NexFundAI.. 100 billion token supply.. A professional website.. Whitepapers promising "passive income through AI-powered investing"..
It looked exactly like every other crypto project.. Because that was the point..
Undercover agents posed as the founding team.. Then reached out to professional market-making firms and said "we need you to fake our trading volume"..
Every single firm said yes..
Here's what they recorded..
Gotbit.. A firm run by a 26-year-old Russian who publicly bragged in 2019 that he built a business faking trade volumes.. His team kept internal spreadsheets with columns literally labeled "fake volume" vs "market volume"..
When asked how fast they could pump NexFundAI's volume to $1 million per day.. They said "6 hours.. It will cost about $200"..
$200 to fake $1 million in daily trading volume..
MyTrade.. Run by a guy who called himself "the mastermind".. He explained the exact psychology of the scam on camera..
"We make the chart look like a really nice roller coaster ride.. That's where people jump in.. We have to make them lose money in order to make profit"..
He said that on a recorded FBI video call..
CLS Global.. A Dubai-based firm.. Their bots generated 98% of NexFundAI's total trading volume.. When the FBI asked if they could sync fake volume spikes with fake news announcements.. They said absolutely..
ZM Quant.. Bots executing 10 to 20 trades per minute through dozens of wallets to look organic..
All of them knew it was fraud.. All of them did it anyway.. All of it was recorded..
And the clients were even worse..
Saitama.. A meme coin that hit $7.5 billion market cap.. The founders coordinated buys through private Telegram chats.. Sent "pump it" memes while manipulating the price.. Then dumped on retail investors..
$7.5 billion.. Built entirely on fake volume.. Every penny of real money came from retail investors who thought the momentum was organic..
One founder left Saitama and started Robo Inu.. Used Gotbit again.. Another launched VZZN.. Same playbook..
Lillian Finance.. Founder claimed to be a defense contractor who addressed Congress.. Marketed the token as funding children's hospitals.. Pocketed everything..
When the FBI shut it down.. They seized $25 million in one day.. 18 people indicted across the US, UK, and Portugal.. The CEO of Gotbit was arrested in Portugal and extradited.. Sentenced to 8 months plus $23 million forfeiture..
But here's the part that broke my brain..
Real people bought NexFundAI..
The FBI's fake token.. With zero utility.. Zero real developers.. Created solely to catch criminals.. Attracted real retail investors because the fake volume made the chart look bullish..
When the FBI pulled the liquidity to end the operation.. Those people lost real money.. On a government-issued token..
The FBI had to set up a restitution portal to pay them back..
And it gets worse..
Within 24 hours of the DOJ announcing the sting.. Someone cloned the FBI's exact smart contract.. Launched a copycat token.. Rode the viral momentum.. And made $127,000 in a single day..
Using the exact same manipulation tactics the FBI just arrested 18 people for..
Then in 2026.. The FBI did it again.. New token called Lexobit.. 10 more arrests.. Including operators extradited from Singapore..
IRS forensics showed that in one firm's trading.. 1,209 out of 1,221 consecutive transactions went straight back to wallets the firm controlled.. 99% circular..
The FBI proved what everyone in crypto suspected..
The volume is fake.. The charts are painted.. The momentum is manufactured..
And every time you buy a token because "the chart looks bullish".. You might be the exit liquidity.
THIS IS ACTUALLY INSANE!🤯
The FBI launched its own crypto token last year just to trap the scammers.
They were sick of pump and dumps. So they built a real token with a real site and real branding, called it NexFundAI, and waited to see who would show up.
Within weeks, scammers were lining up to fake the volume for undercover agents.
Then one of them got on a recorded call and said it out loud. Their entire business model was making regular people lose money so they could profit.
The FBI had all of it on tape.
18 charged. $25M seized. Arrests across 3 countries.
The wildest part? The FBI ran a cleaner crypto project than half the founders out there. And the whole thing was a trap from day one.
