An Open Letter to the Ritual Team: Give Your Community Answers Some ambassadors received tokens. Others received nothing and still don’t know why. Long-time Discord members are asking how their contributions counted. The Ritual community deserves transparency. @ritualfnd @ritualnet @joshsimenhoff @niraj @akileshpotti @BunsDev @0x_HalfMoonKid @BenPerszyk @mongdiny7 @hilalelifkara @cryptooflashh @dunken9718 @0xMadScientist @Jez_Cryptoz For a year and a half, we created content, brought attention to Ritual, completed assignments, and helped build the community. Now, some ambassadors have been left out of the airdrop without a clear explanation. The questions go beyond the ambassador program. Members earned roles in Discord, but as far as we know, those roles received no separate allocation. We still don’t know how they factored into eligibility or how the contributions behind them were assessed. Our contributions were tracked. We’re asking how they counted. The ambassador program was managed by CO/UNITY, CEO: @thedanrodman with Morgon Buchanan working directly with us There were weekly assignments, calls twice a month, a leaderboard, and a minimum of four posts per month. Members who didn’t meet the requirements were removed. We learned about TGE through a public announcement on X. Then we found out that around 5–8 active ambassadors were ineligible. Based on the information shared with us, eligible ambassadors received 187,000 tokens each. Those excluded still don’t know why, even though Joshua Simenhoff @joshsimenhoff had collected our wallet addresses in advance. So far, we haven’t received a clear explanation of the criteria or a process for requesting a review. Joshua said the decision was outside his control. Morgon has said he’ll get back to us, but there’s still no clear answer or timeline. Ritual, we’re asking you to: 1. Publish the criteria used to determine eligibility and allocation amounts for community members and ambassadors. 2. Explain how Discord roles, leaderboard rankings, completed assignments, and long-term contributions were weighed. We can provide our content, assignment history, and correspondence. Please name someone responsible for handling these questions and give the community a date for a public response. Everyone who helped build Ritual deserves to understand how their contribution was assessed. Still waiting for answers? Repost this. Received an allocation but believe everyone deserves clear rules? Stand with the community and repost it too. Share your experience in the replies: What role did you hold? What did you contribute? Did you receive an allocation or an explanation? Help bring these questions to the team’s attention. Ritual, please respond publicly – with clear criteria, an allocation breakdown, and a path to review.

In November 2023 we ran an onchain AI agent managing $30,000. We were early to onchain agents, and we’re early to agentic institutions. This year, six papers took a first shot at building a fully agentic company. All six did it offchain, by hand. If you strip them down, the same four requirements keep showing up: an identity the agent owns, memory that outlives the process, a budget that can actually run out, and work a third party can verify. On Ritual, all four are native to the chain. Let the Ritual begin.

Six builder best practices for async results on Ritual 🧵 Your contract can call AI models and other services asynchronously. These habits help your dApp handle every outcomes smoothly: a result, an error, or no answer in time. Each one comes from the public Ritual skills.
