You can now register your Canon chat identity on Cardano, find contacts, open rooms, and exchange messages with users registered on either Cardano or Ethereum, all within the same chat experience.
Choose your network and get started. Canon 0.8.1 is live, with code and docs available here:
github.com/DEGAorg/canon
Canon is out of the lab!
Docs and video tutorials are live now. One guide takes a machine with nothing on it to a supervised agent doing a real job, tonight.
Check it out at: github.com/DEGAorg/canon/blo…
Most "AI agents" are a chat box with ambition. They talk a great game, and you would never hand them a wallet. Canon is built the other way. The agent gets a real job and a supervised lifecycle.
For testing you can use "dry runs". These have the agent run real cycles on real data, recorded and observable. It just cannot spend real money.
As shown in the tutorial, you need one coding agent you already trust, a terminal, and a working browser. Paste one instruction, the agent installs its own workspace, wallet, and config, then verifies what it did before moving on.
Your wallet stays yours. Private keys never leave your machine, never get pasted into a chat, never get sent to support. If any guide asks you to share a private key, do NOT do it. It's most likely a fake.
It's super easy to use the blockchain powered chat: register, add a contact, open a room, send a message. Everything powered by the $DEGA token.
Enjoy automating your predictions!

STATE OF DEGA - CANON RELEASE UPDATE
We've been building a proper, offline-first companion tool that connects directly to DEGA's backend. Here's where things stand:
📷 ALREADY DONE
- Secure login: Canon now connects to DEGA's account system with a safe, browser-based sign-in flow (no passwords typed into the terminal).
-Prediction catalog: Browse multiple prediction automations and install the ones you want locally, with one command.
-Run locally: Launch installed strategies from your own machine.
-Tested & hardened: Everything validated against four rounds of adversarial review to catch edge cases.
PROCESS WINS
- Created an internal review workflow we can reuse on future work
- Project documentation ready
WHAT's NEXT?
- P2P decentralized chat with $DEGA token utility fee
- We'll share the official release date next week!

STATE OF DEGA - August 6th, 2026
We couldn't do the live Space today due to an unexpected medical emergency. The team is fine, the build hasn't stopped. Here's where things stand for the next development cycle.
Canon × DEGA Token Integration
The AI system powering prediction-market operations is integrating a decentralized network where people and agents collaborate directly. DEGA tokens become the access key, account registration runs through smart contracts, and the centralized server leaves the equation entirely.
Canon × DEGA Elements Integration
Canon's free automations ship with the open source release. On top of that, premium automations are being integrated exclusively for DEGA Elements owners. The full breakdown of which Elements unlock which automations lands on release day.
Timeline
The first release of this update is coming in September.
See you at the next live Space.
We have a new winner for the NBA Playoffs Prediction Market Hackathon: NBA Prediction Edge, by Pranay. Our original winner, Arbiter, went inactive and did not claim the prize after repeated outreach and a final deadline, so it passes to the next active builder.
Why it stands out:
Clean modular build: separate data, signal, EV, risk, execution, and logging layers in TypeScript, backed by a real Jest test suite across the signal, EV, and risk modules.
Relevant market signals: pairs ESPN injury news with correlated-market lag on Polymarket, then sizes positions with EV and half-Kelly under explicit risk controls.
Well documented: clear README and ABOUT that make the strategy easy to follow.
Score: 7/10 across innovation, code, and impact.

We have a winner for the NBA Playoffs Prediction Market Hackathon: Arbiter, by Ismail ([email protected]).
Why it won (top of 14 Canon builds):
- Most original concept: a market neutral coherence arbitrage across Polymarket and Kalshi, not just a "who wins" bot.
- Best all around code: clean typed modules, a real test suite, and math that accounts for fees across both venues.
- Most grounded in reality: a build that ran live against real markets, plus a live Vercel deploy.
Score: 7 out of 10 across innovation, code, and impact (demo video judged separately).
