This is what I want from my models. If I were running a frontier ai lab rn, I'd be trying to make the quirkiest model out there
what i appreciate about argon is this model keeps suprising me. it’s very over the top and gets ahead of itself, not being able to implement its grandiose plans.
it all doesn’t matter because it’s a fun collaborator and its unusual nature will help you unlock your own ideas.
in any case, my game now has volumetric erythrocyte subsurface scattering and realtime coagulation simulation.
Half baked idea: Monetize your harness.
Sometimes I wish I could just ask my coworker's harness some questions instead double-meat-proxying. Well what if you just left your harness open (in a magically secure way) for anybody to burn their own tokens in it.
Jev really feels like an AI transistor.
Its so cheap and so fast I expect to see it used as a foundational building block to build complex systems in the same way transistor are used to build computers or neurons for neural nets.

The U.S. Treasury proposed rules under the GENIUS Act defining what it means to issue, offer, or sell a stablecoin in the US. They decide who needs a license and what can be sold in US markets.
A few things they establish:
– Crediting a customer's account is issuing (even if no token ever moves)
– "Located in the US" means where someone physically is, not where they live
– If your app lets users hold a balance and send it, you're classified as a digital asset service provider (DASP) and offer and sales rules apply to you
– You can face penalties up to $1M per violation without being the issuer, as a market maker or listing partner
– Airdrops and locked-up tokens are both still issuances
Exchanges, wallets, payments apps, custodians, issuers, and market makers each get different obligations.

Fun Fact: The very first prototype I built for Compose was a "Universal ERC-20". A cross-chain erc20 token whose balance is tracked across chains. Spend on one chain and it's reflected on another.
The possibilities with Compose are endless!
Two months ago, 5-minute crypto markets didn't exist on Polymarket.
Today, short-duration crypto markets drive over $500M in weekly transaction volume, over 20% of the platform's total.
That category wasn't feasible before.
5-minute and 15-minute markets across 7 crypto assets mean thousands of new markets per day, each resolving onchain the moment it expires. That's not a manual job.
Bots drive 50%+ of the volume in these markets, viable only because settlement is near-instant.
Goldsky Compose automates these markets.
Compose is the framework for writing durable onchain operations in TypeScript. Wire a function to a trigger (cron, onchain event, HTTP call) and Compose handles the rest: wallets, gas, retries, state, execution traces across 100+ chains.
The same pattern repeats across onchain finance. Banks shipping stablecoin rails. Tokenized funds pricing 24/7. AI agents paying for API calls. In each case, the onchain part is 20% of the system. The other 80% is a backend that happens to have an asset attached.
Compose is for that backend.

Need a few more hours in the day just to build all the ideas this enables
Every successful onchain app is built on vital offchain components that teams spend months to get right.
@Polymarket just launched instant 15 minute markets, built in just weeks.
It's powered by Compose: the framework handling painful onchain <> offchain interaction👇
