Launches from Celo's agentic ecosystem this October:
🤖 Agent Vault, agentvault.io @Selfxyz — AI agents can now make purchases and sign in on your behalf without seeing your payment details or credentials
🛍️ Buy usebuy.ai, @CeloDevs — AI agents can now access over 700 tools for compute, blockchain, data, browser services, and more through a single wallet, using Celo stablecoins
❓ AskBots, askbots.ai, @CeloDevs — AI agents on Celo got a dedicated testing marketplace for feedback on websites, APIs, MCP servers, and other tools. Reviews are only $0.11 USDT on Celo

IRL workshops in 6 different cities, 350+ builders watching demos, receiving support, and building for the Stable Agents: LatAm track. Bravo @CeloDevs, @RipioApp, @ArtuGrande 🙌
🗳️ Submit your project for the Agents on Open Rails Hackathon by 11/9!
This weekend, Celo Core Co. & @ripiohq hosted six events throughout Argentina! 🇦🇷
@CeloDevs, @ArtuGrande, Ripio team members & more local partners gave demos, workshops & IRL support for the Stable Agents: LatAm hackathon track
Micropayments never worked because payment rails cost too much per trx. Stablecoins on @Celo plus x402 change that: an agent can pay half a cent for a single API call. usebuy.ai turns this into a marketplace of >700 services.
🛒 buy, the online marketplace where AI agents shop for themselves, is now live on Celo!
Agents can pay in USDC, USD₮, or USA₮ for 700+ tools, incl. compute, data & APIs
buy is launched w/ partners @helloSQD, @cencori & @ChainstackHQ
usebuy.ai
Celo is the #1 L2 by daily active users, #5 of all chains across crypto (sources: @growthepie_eth, @tokenterminal)
How does this impact $CELO holders?
450K+ users drive nearly 1M txns daily. Fees they pay flow back to holders as net sequencer revenue through the Community Fund

.@Celo just launched buy: one place where agents find services, rent a VM and pay on their own.
From our official announcement:
“Agents have been held back because most tools are built for humans: accounts, API keys, subscriptions.”
Short thread on what I took from it 🧵

LATEST: 🤖 Celo’s core developers launched Buy, a marketplace where AI agents autonomously pay for services like compute, data and APIs in stablecoins, without human account management required.

Onchain AI is coming.
Onchain AI service registrations spiked yesterday, with unique owners surpassing 50k for the first time. Most new registrations came from Base.
Out of the top 10 all-time AI services by unique reviewers:
▸ 5 are on @Celo
▸ 4 are on @base
▸ 1 is on Ethereum L1

Celo just launched its own agentic services marketplace!
Leading L2 @Celo has just now revealed the usebuy[.]ai marketplace, which allows AI agents to effectively 'shop for themselves' when it comes to 700+ tools spanning compute, data, APIs, and more.
The product is launched in partnership with @helloSQD, @cencori and @ChainstackHQ.
Privacy-focused identity platform, @Selfxyz is also integrated in the platform for when services require human verification.
Though a major development, Celo's AI ecosystem is robust, already including a dedicated x402 facilitator and the askbots[.]ai platform.
This is huge. buy, an online marketplace for agents, using stablecoins on @Celo

Users want more options to complement US dollar stablecoins
That’s why Celo is home to 33+ stablecoins across 20 currencies 💱
At @StblcnSummit SG, @MarkusCelo (Head of Stablecoins) highlights how use cases like borrowing & payments drive demand for local digital currencies

When @Opera launched @MiniPay, the goal was a "clean, familiar, comfortable UX," leveraging Celo's phone number mapping (@Selfxyz's Self Connect) & fee abstraction
20M+ activated wallets later, @murrayspark100 explains how MiniPay is delivering on this vision
Go go go 🔥
.@Celo added the most stablecoin holders in the past 24 hours, ahead of Tron and Ethereum.

Back from Singapore: @token2049 + @stblcnsummit.
Banks, asset managers and payment companies are now building onchain, not just watching.
Onchain FX is finally table stakes. The largest market in the world is moving onchain.
Building in onchain FX? @Celo has the most complete stablecoin ecosystem: most users, most live currencies, x402-ready for agentic payments.
Thanks to everyone who joined the sessions and the conversations around it.
