Stop making your agentic activity a matter of public record.
Use Ritual to keep your prompts, API calls, and credentials private in the TEE.
Researchers built an AI that doxes any "anonymous" reddit account in under a minutes for $2.
eth zurich and anthropic published a terrifying paper proving that "practical anonymity" on the internet is officially dead.
they built a fully autonomous ai pipeline that takes your pseudonymous posts, extracts your identity signals, searches the web, and figures out exactly who you are. no human investigator needed.
the numbers are actually mindblowing..
- 67% of hacker news users identified correctly
- when the system makes a guess, it is right 90% of the time
- it even unmasked scientists whose interview transcripts were explicitly redacted for privacy
the scariest part? even time doesn't protect you.. they tested users who took a full year break and changed their interests. the ai still matched their old and new profiles with 90% precision. it sees through your persona changes like they aren't even there.
there is no defense against this. the agent splits the work into tiny, benign tasks like "summarizing a profile" or "ranking candidates." no api safety guardrail is going to flag it because no single step looks malicious..
every throwaway account. every "nobody will connect this to me" comment. it’s all just searchable micro-data now.

gm and may all of your airdrops cook like
@variational_io
speaking of which, they're giving out 32% of their supply fully unlocked at TGE
this is a good example to follow, right?
so @niraj @ckartik_
do you think we can increase the @ritualnet
supply up to at least 3% (like monad did)
It is not very difficult to do this, you just have to want it and teams that want it are able to do it
thank you for your consideration on this matter 😁

Dear @ritualnet team and community,
After the recent tokenomics announcement, many different opinions emerged across the community. I think one of the most important points here is this:
Not every contribution to Ritual looks the same.
Some people build dApps.
Some create art and content.
Some are active in Discord every day.
Some participate in or organize events.
Some bring new people into the community.
Some attend Academy sessions and provide feedback.
Others simply stay around for a long time and continue supporting the ecosystem.
These are all different forms of contribution, but they all help the ecosystem grow.
That’s why I believe the community deserves more clarity around the 0.5% community allocation.
With a 10B total supply, 0.5% equals 50M RITUAL.
There are still many questions about how this amount will be distributed among the different groups of people who have contributed over the long term.
For example:
How will the Genesis 1000 holders be considered?
How will long-term community members be distinguished?
Will different roles carry any weight?
How will builders, creators, artists, event participants and active community members be evaluated?
And what was the purpose of the previous wallet collection processes within the community? We still don’t know whether they were related to an event, early access, a future allocation, or something else.
I also don’t think the Ritual roles should be overlooked.
Bitty, Ritty, Ritualist and Radiant Ritualist were not roles that everyone could simply obtain overnight. Earning them required time, consistency and involvement in the community.
I believe that effort should also have some weight when contributions are evaluated.
The PloPlo Holder role should also not be overlooked.
PloPlo may not be an official Ritual NFT, but it was an ecosystem project supported by the Ritual team. People bought these NFTs not simply to own another NFT, but also because they wanted to support the Ritual ecosystem and projects within its community.
The same applies to the Community dApps list.
Being included there does not guarantee any reward, and the list clearly states that. But it is still a measurable signal that people actually built something for the Ritual ecosystem.
I was fortunate enough to have my first dApp included in the Community dApps list, alongside around 207 other contributors. I’ve also been active in the community through content, memes, art, Discord, Academy sessions, feedback and community events including a community gathering in Istanbul.
I’m not mentioning this to ask for special treatment.
I’m mentioning it because these are examples of how contribution can take many different forms, and not all of them can be captured by a single metric.
One person might spend a year being active in Discord.
Another might build a dApp.
Someone else might create hundreds of pieces of content.
Putting all of these into one simple “community activity” category may not fully capture what people actually contributed.
That’s why I believe there is still time to reconsider the community allocation and potentially move toward something more meaningful, perhaps around 1.5–2%.
With a 10B supply:
1.5% = 150M RITUAL
2% = 200M RITUAL
This isn’t simply about distributing more tokens.
It’s about giving Ritual more room to recognize the people who have spent years giving their time, effort and support to the network.
The allocation could also potentially be structured around different contribution categories, such as:
→ Genesis / OG contributors
→ Builders
→ Content & Artists
→ Community contributors
→ Events & Education
→ Long-term active members
A structure like this could make different forms of contribution more visible and allow the community’s long-term efforts to be evaluated more meaningfully.
Nobody was forced to contribute to Ritual.
We all know that.
Nobody was promised a guaranteed airdrop.
But people still stayed.
They built.
They tested.
They created.
They brought people in.
They participated in events.
They helped grow the community.
They believed in Ritual.
And I think that is exactly why the community matters.
As Ritual itself has said, the goal shouldn’t only be about distributing tokens. It should also be about building a strong ecosystem for the long term.
There is still time, and I hope the team can provide more clarity around these questions and consider a contribution-based approach before the final allocation is announced.
This is not a call for FUD.
It’s simply community members sharing their thoughts about something that matters to them.
Ultimately, a strong network grows not only through its technology, but also through the people who have supported it along the way.
The community is everything.

Dear team @ritualnet

Dear beloved @ritualnet team,
I’m here to raise my side as someone who has stayed loyal to Ritual and genuinely supported and used the product.
I don’t usually raise concerns, especially when i know it might not benefit me personally. But when it comes to the friends, contributors, builders, and OGs i’ve met and known in the Ritual community, I feel like this is something worth speaking up about.
As i understand it, the Ritual team is waiting for community feedback before releasing the official tokenomics on X.
So i want to raise a few questions about the tokenomics shared yesterday. Some people were happy with it, while others were disappointed.
"What was the basis for the 0.5% community allocation? Why is it this small?"
"What about the Genesis 1000 role holders?"
"How will the real contributors in the Ritual community be recognized?"
"What about the PloPlo NFT holders?"
These are some of the questions i keep hearing from people, and honestly, even I’m confused.
Sometimes i want to defend Ritual on this topic, but it’s hard when you look at it from the perspective of the people who stayed, contributed, supported, built, educated others, and believed in Ritual for a long time.
Of course, none of us were forced to contribute to Ritual. We chose to stay. We chose to work hard. We chose to support it.
But i also believe in the idea of giving something back to the people who stayed with you from the lowest point to the highest.
I’m not saying this because we are entitled to something in return.
My point is simple:
After months or even years of supporting Ritual, do we really think everyone should end up under the same 0.5% community allocation?
I joined Ritual in April 2025 because i genuinely believed in what the team was building.
I even invited some of my friends to join because i wanted more people to discover what I saw in Ritual. To me, it was never just another AI project trying to exist in Web3.
And honestly, I’m very thankful to Ritual.
I’ve said this many times, but if it wasn’t for Ritual, I probably wouldn’t have learned how to build, become a vibe coder, improve my communication, or learn how to stay loyal and genuinely support a project i believe in.
That’s an experience i'll always carry with me.
One thing that also disappointed me was seeing some predictions from top contributors create more negativity and FUD around the tokenomics.
I understand that everyone is allowed to share their opinion, especially early contributors.
But i personally hope that the people who have been here early can also help keep the community grounded instead of making people feel even worse about the situation.
So if i'm given the chance to share my own opinion as a real supporter and community member, this is what I would personally suggest.
I’ve been thinking about the 0.5% community allocation, and honestly, I think there’s room for Ritual to reconsider it.
I’m not saying the community needs a massive percentage.
Personally, I think 2–3% would be more meaningful.
That would be around 200M–300M RITUAL out of a 10B total supply.
Why 2–3%?
Because this isn’t really about giving the community more “free tokens.”
It’s about making sure the people who helped build, test, educate, moderate, create, and support the ecosystem early on have a meaningful stake in what comes next.
Depending on how many contributors qualify and how the allocation is distributed, some long term contributors could still receive very little despite spending months or even years contributing to Ritual.
I think 2–3% gives the team more room to properly reward those contributions without taking an unreasonable amount from the overall supply.
And i also think the Ritual could benefit from it in several ways.
1. Stronger post mainnet retention
If early contributors receive a meaningful allocation, they may have more reason to stay active after TGE instead of disappearing once the rewards are over.
That’s based on my own experience in Web3.
For Ritual, that could mean having a more durable contributor base after mainnet.
2. Better alignment
Someone who holds a meaningful amount of RITUAL and has already contributed to the ecosystem becomes more aligned with the long term success of the network.
Builders, contributors, node operators, early supporters, and others are no longer just reward recipients. They become stakeholders.
3. More organic ecosystem growth
Ritual doesn’t have to fund every part of growth itself.
A motivated community can continue creating dApps, building an agent, Frenrug users, Infernet node operators, contents, research, events, onboarding sessions, developer support, and more.
A stronger community allocation could help multiply that work.
4. Better decentralization
A wider distribution among real contributors means more tokens are held by people who are actually participating in the ecosystem.
That could help create broader community ownership instead of concentrating too much supply in a smaller number of groups.
5. Stronger reputation around community incentives
This matters for a network that wants developers and users to keep coming.
If people see that meaningful early contribution can eventually lead to meaningful ownership, future contributors may be more willing to spend their time building on Ritual.
Basically:
contributors → meaningful ownership → continued contribution → stronger ecosystem → more value for Ritual
And to everyone who still believes in Ritual, myself included:
Don’t blindly follow every prediction you see.
Do your own research. Look for the information yourself. Don’t rely on just one person to tell you what to think.
If they could do it, you can do it too.
And most importantly, wait for the official announcement.
Again, I’m not here to spread FUD.
I’m here to share my opinion as a real supporter and community member of Ritual. I believe we have the right to raise concerns and talk about what we think can be improved.
Thank you to the Ritual team.
I hope this reaches the right people and that the concerns from the community are heard before mainnet.
I’m still one of the people who believes Ritual can succeed.
I’ll be here until mainnet, building, learning, and continuing to support the project i chose to believe in.

With every new detail, I feel like I understand a little more where Ritual is heading.
Agents being able to act on their own, make payments, and actually operate onchain… seeing all of that come together is really exciting.
I’m genuinely curious to see what comes next. ❖
This is the energy I’ve been waiting to see. 👀❖
We’ve been waiting for this for a while, and now it really feels like we’re getting close.
After everything that’s been built, tested, and improved, I can’t wait to see where Ritual goes on mainnet.
The next chapter is almost here. ❖
@ritualnet @ritualfnd
I’ve been following this journey for a while, and now it really feels different.
Builders, dApps, the testnet, all the updates… little by little, everything is starting to come together as part of the same story.
Now, it’s time for the next chapter.
On the way to mainnet. 🧙♀️❖

gm Ritual.
we just wrapped an AMA with @NirajPant (co-founder, ex-Polychain GP) and @arshan (eng) — and it might be the most direct explanation of why Ritual exists we've ever put out.
271 of you showed up. here's everything that was said 👇
Ritual Academy Bootcamp #2 is live right now 👀
This session feels much more hands-on than a regular walkthrough. Instead of just talking through the concepts, they’re getting into the code and showing how the different pieces actually come together.
Smart contracts, agents, execution flow… seeing the technical side step by step makes it much easier to understand how Ritual works under the hood.
Definitely a good one to join if you want to go a little deeper than the basics. ❖
I’m watching now. ❖
@ritualnet @ritualfnd
The Ritual Community AMA is live now. 👀
@niraj and @ArshanKhanifar are on Discord talking directly with the community.
Mainnet this close, hearing from the people building Ritual feels especially timely.
I’m listening in. ❖
@ritualnet @ritualfnd
It feels like all the pieces are slowly starting to fall into place.
More than 200 dApps have been built, security audits are complete, builder feedback has been worked in, and the public testnet is getting ready to shut down.
And now Niraj Pant and Arshan Khanifar are meeting directly with the community too.
For me, the most exciting part isn’t just that mainnet is getting closer. It’s seeing how much has been built behind the scenes to get Ritual to this point.
The testnet journey, builder contributions, chain updates, and a growing ecosystem… it really feels like everything is starting to come together now.
One chapter is closing, and a much bigger one is about to begin. ❖
And a little reminder: @niraj & @ArshanKhanifar’s Community AMA is today. I’ll be there. Don’t miss it. 👀
