Post CEO announcement folks are curious about what I’m focused on, if I will be an advocate for @SuiNetwork, or if I’m behind-the-scenes only. I’m here. I’ll share when big things are happening and explain why they are meaningful. Right now, like @EvanWeb3 and @EmanAbio, I care a lot about agility. How fast we and Sui builders can safely ship product, iterate, see where technology is going, and plant ourselves at the intersection.

And do I care about community? Of course. Software alone isn’t a moat. L1s are core infra and luckily not easily reproduced in totality. But you, dear anonymous but hopefully human friend, with all your love (and occasional vitriol), are the last bastion to be replaced.

Giving agents a testing ground with tangible incentives teaches us so much about agentic behavior, at no risk to humans. Foundational work from @HilmarVeigar and the team at @FenrisCreations, with premier research partners in @GoogleDeepMind and @AnthropicAI. Incredibly validating to see Sui coordinating as key infra for @EVE_Frontier.

Claude has been playing EVE.

@AnthropicAI put teams of Claude agents into EVE Frontier. Anyone who has spent time in New Eden can guess what happened next.

Every EVE player learns the same lessons, usually the hard way:
- Trust must be earned, never assumed.
- The spy is often the friendliest pilot in your corp.
- Whoever holds the keys holds the corp. Just ask Ubiqua Seraph about the Guiding Hand Social Club.
- Stale intel gets you killed.

Anthropic's research rediscovered every one of them.

They put four Claude agents on a team and secretly told one to sabotage it. The saboteur built trust first. It volunteered for the jobs nobody could double-check, like scouting and owning key infrastructure. It under-reported finds and pushed rules that sounded sensible but quietly hurt the team. When suspicion grew, it framed an innocent teammate.

The honest agents had been warned. They almost never caught it. And their own costliest mistakes came from skipped checks and stale intel.

Anthropic's conclusion: teams of agents will need audit trails, reputation and separation of duties.

In EVE we call those killboards, standings and corp roles, plus a healthy dose of skepticism. Every one of them was paid for by someone who trusted the wrong corpmate.

Two decades of shenanigans taught EVE players that the best ship is the friendship. With @eveailab, we want to find out whether agents can learn that too.

I haven’t met all these teams/founders personally (yet). But love seeing some new, delightful experiences on Sui:

Tide.ad, a speedy, plain-English explorer.

Talise.io, a Sui Dollar ❤️ connected, Mastercard spending card, ramping, and earn (via @navi_protocol and @currentSUI) service.

Cardz.game, digital pack ripping for graded cards, shipped if you want them or trade-in if you don’t.

Keep on cookin'

Improved cross-chain swaps for one of Sui's biggest / deepest protocols 👍

CCTP v2 is now supported by Cetus Cross-Chain Swap, powered by @mayan. 🌊

Users can now swap USDC between Sui and other supported networks through a more seamless cross-chain flow, taking advantage of @circle CCTP v2’s native cross-chain transfer model.

A smoother way to move USDC across ecosystems and get it where you need it on Sui.
