we spent a decade teaching people to never share their seed phrase. now the default way to let an ai agent pay for things is to hand it a private key.
that feels backwards to me.
an agent with a key can sign anything. the only thing between it and your money is its instructions, and instructions are the easiest thing to tamper with. a webpage can slip it new ones. so can a tool result. the key doesn't know who's asking, it just signs.
so the fix can't live in the prompt. it has to live somewhere the agent can't talk its way past.
that's the idea behind @spactvault, which i built at #NEARHackathon.
how it works
your money sits in a vault contract on @NEARProtocol. you set the rules. the agent never gets your key. it gets a NEAR function-call key that can do one kind of thing: ask the vault to pay.
then the contract decides, on chain:
- small payments go through on their own
- bigger ones wait until you approve that exact payment in your NEAR wallet
- anything over the cap, or to someone not on your allowlist, is refused, and no approval can push it through
the agent can't move tokens itself, can't change the rules and can't approve its own request. if it gets prompt-injected, the worst it can do is spend inside the limits you set, to people you already allowed.
NEAR makes this unusually clean. function-call keys are part of the account model, so "this key can only call these methods on this contract" is enforced by the protocol, not by my code promising to behave. and the vault has no access keys at all, so nobody can swap its code out, me included.
the part i didn't expect to matter
the hard part wasn't the contract. it was the approval screen.
when you approve a payment, you're trusting that what you see is what you sign. if the website, or whoever runs it, lies about the amount or the recipient, a normal approve button is useless.
so every request gets a fingerprint: a hash of its exact terms, stored by the vault. the approval page recomputes it in your browser, and the vault only accepts an approval that matches. change one character of the terms and it refuses. you're approving the terms, not the ui.
i learned this the practical way too. in my first real run i clicked through what i thought was the approval, and it was actually step one, registering a deposit address. the page now says "step 1 of 2" in plain words. small thing, but it feels like a lot of crypto losses happen at exactly this moment: a person clicking yes without knowing what yes means.
cross-chain
agents don't only want to pay people on NEAR, so the vault can also pay out on other chains through NEAR Intents. those payments always wait for you, whatever the amount, because once the tokens leave, the vault can't see what happens on the other side. i'd rather the contract be honest about where its guarantees end.
what actually happened on mainnet
real USDC, nothing staged:
- the agent asked for 1 USDC to my address on Base
- the vault held it and i got a review link
- i approved in my NEAR wallet
- 0.997398 USDC landed on Base in under 40 seconds
- then the agent asked for 5 USDC. over the cap, refused on chain (HARD_CAP_EXCEEDED), nothing moved
every transaction is linked in the repo.
how i tested it
i wrote down every attack i could think of (a lying backend, a prompt-injected agent, replayed approvals, parallel requests racing each other) and turned each one into a test. 18 cases run on every commit, 17 of them against a real NEAR node, and the results are public on the site.
it's still an unaudited prototype, so small amounts only. but the shape feels right to me: agents get budgets, humans keep keys, and the rules live where nobody can argue with them.
try it: spactvault.xyz
code: github.com/0xileri/SpactVaul…
genuinely curious: if you ran an agent you didn't write yourself, what would its default limit be? and would you set it per payment, per day, or per recipient?
@NearLegion @NearBuilders
Introducing SPACTVAULT.
letting an ai agent pay for things usually means handing it your wallet key. a key signs whatever it's told, even when the agent is confused or a webpage slipped it new instructions.
built at @NEARProtocol HACKATHON to fix that.

If $HYPE drops to $74.70 (-4.75%), smartestmoney’s $111,000,000 long gets liquidated 😳
> He's still sitting on $56M of profit
Last time $HYPE dropped, he added margin to push his liquidation under $70. Will he do it again?

day 3 >>
yesterday, i sorted fake leads by budget in n8n.
today, i added a real form.
the workflow is set up to save every valid enquiry to google sheets and ping sales on telegram when the budget is $1k or more.

day 2 >>
still on gtm engineering.
-> built my first lead qualification automation with n8n.
pretty simple, but interesting.

i think one of the most underrated skills in web3 is knowing how to turn your attention into opportunities.
you're already spending hours on X.
meanwhile, @FungoLabs has allocated 300M $FUNGO to its X campaign.
if i'm going to spend half my life on this app, i might as well give myself a chance to get paid for something useful.
my screen time report has embarrassed my family enough.

fantasy for the internet 🫨
imagine getting paid for knowing who's about to go viral before everyone else.
that's basically what @motiongame_ is building.
think fantasy football, but instead of footballers, you're picking creators, streamers, and internet personalities.
build your lineup of 5 creators, compete against other players, and stand a chance to win cash prizes based on how your picks perform.
suddenly, being chronically online might actually pay the bills

if i were building an audience from zero, i’d pick one platform and take it very seriously.
look at these people:
> mrbeast on youtube. alex hormozi and diary of a ceo have their own corners there too.
> khaby lame on tiktok.
> kai cenat on twitch.
> justin welsh on linkedin.
> dan koe built his audience on twitter before expanding to youtube.
there’s a lesson here for anyone building a personal brand or a product.
find one platform where the people you want to reach already spend their time.
learn what they care about. what makes them stop scrolling. what they keep asking about.
then keep making content that gives them a reason to come back.
become so good at your thing that when it comes up, people start tagging you.
that’s the kind of presence i’d work towards.
dominate your corner. expand from there.

The closest NFTs have to privacy is when the attributes are not revealed. In that situation, even you don't know the characteristics of what you own.
The moment an NFT is minted, everyone can inspect its traits, rarity and other metadata. This can create a problem for collections built around rarity, hidden attributes or games.
This is what the @FungoLabs Launchpad is trying to change.
what is the FungoLabs Launchpad?
FungoLabs Launchpad is a platform that allows studios and creators to launch their own encrypted NFT collections on Ethereum.
It's a place for creators to deploy their collections, set their sale rules and decide how much information about each NFT will be visible.
Unlike a regular NFT launchpad, the NFTs launched here can remain sealed even after minting.
How does an encrypted NFT work?
Usually, when you buy an NFT, you can inspect its metadata. You can see its traits, attributes before the creator officially reveals anything.
FungoLabs uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), powered by Zama's FHEVM, to keep NFT data encrypted on-chain.
In simple terms, the blockchain can work with encrypted information without revealing what it contains.
What exactly can creators keep private?
When a studio launches a collection, it can decide how the artwork and individual traits should be revealed. For example, a creator can choose to make certain information:
- Public from the moment of mint.
- Visible only when the holder chooses to reveal it.
- Put a specific date after the sale for reveal
This gives creators more control over how their collections work.
A gaming NFT, for example, could have hidden stats that players don't get to inspect before a match. A collectible could keep its rarity private until the holder decides to reveal it.
The creator sets the rules, while the holder gets control over the information the rules allow them to reveal.
The holder has more control over disclosure.
A holder can privately view their NFT's contents, share access with selected wallets, or reveal certain information publicly where the collection's rules permit i
you can prove that your NFT has a rare trait without showing everyone the exact trait or its other attributes.
And if you sell the NFT, your access to its private contents ends, while the new owner's access becomes available after the transfer process.
What about the actual minting process?
The creator brings their collection's artwork and traits, configures the privacy and reveal rules, and sets up the sale.
They decide how the NFT should appear while sealed. Instead of displaying the actual artwork, a collection could use a custom image or pattern. Traits can also appear in an unreadable format until they're revealed.
The creator can then choose how to organise the sale, including OG and whitelist phases, public minting or a sealed-bid auction.
There is also a Quick Setup option for studios that want to configure everything on one page.
The sealed-bid auction
In a normal auction, participants can see competing bids and adjust their own bids based on what others are offering.
With FungoLabs' sealed-bid auction, the bid amount and quantity are encrypted while bidding is open. This means other participants, including the team, cannot see your bid during the auction.
Once bidding closes, the bids are opened for verification, and the winners pay the same final clearing price.
This is particularly useful for NFT collections where creators want a fairer and less predictable bidding process.
The Launchpad is designed for other studios to use.
Creators can launch their own encrypted collections, deploy their collection and sale contracts from their own wallets, and configure the rules for their NFTs.
This means the platform isn't limited to one collection or one type of NFT.
It creates room for different applications, especially gaming, collectibles and projects that want privacy.
A token's utility and vesting schedule matter just as much as its total supply.
So let's look at what happens with $FUNGO after TGE.
First, the unlocks.
@FungoLabs states that 82.5% of the total supply will be unlocked at TGE.
Genesis NFT holders, Zama OG holders, the X campaign allocation and liquidity all unlock 100% at TGE.
The community allocation gets 25% at TGE, with the remaining 75% released over the period of 24 months.
The team allocation is locked for 12 months and then released over 36 months. So the team doesn't start get their allocation until the first anniversary of TGE.
Now, the revenue sharing model.
This is part I think we should pay attention to.
For seven listed platform activities, revenue is split into three parts:
20% goes to buyback and burn. $FUNGO is bought from the market and permanently removed from circulation.
20% goes to the Genesis NFT pool, shared equally among all 3,232 Genesis NFTs (it’d be wise to hold your NFTs)
The remaining 60% goes to the treasury, held in $ETH and $ZAMA.
Also, opening fees, proof fees and card fees go entirely to the treasury.
So, what can you do with $FUNGO?
There are two main utilities listed by the project:
Early access. Holders who stake $FUNGO can get access to an earlier sale phase for selected collections.
Explore ranking. Studios can lock $FUNGO to improve their collection's position on the Launchpad Explore page. The tokens are returned after the sale ends.
Holding $FUNGO doesn't give you voting power over platform fees or rules.
LATOM.

No doubt that Africa is No 1 at consumption hence Consuming services tends to generate big revenue and returns.
Yet what baffles me is that 85% of Africans households don’t earn more than a $1000 monthly
Yet they consume a lot, so how’s it that they consume that much, how do they do it?
Excluding the crypto geeks and tech guys, talking about just an average African.
nigerians move serious money.
look at these numbers:
- opay reported $417.6 million in revenue from nigeria in just the first half of 2026. that’s 89.5% of its total revenue.
- moniepoint says its businesses process over $250 billion in digital payments annually.
- nigerian users sent $25.2 billion to crypto services between july 2025 and june 2026, according to chainalysis.
if you’re building in payments, crypto or consumer tech and targeting nigeria, you should have a cracked nigerian lead.
it is a must!

stop this.
if you're still switching between 5 different platforms just to figure out what's trending, you're already wasting valuable time.
while you're checking GMGN, someone else is watching Fomo. while you're checking Pumpfun, another narrative is taking off.
that's exactly what @clickdottrade is trying to fix.
with their new Social Trending feature, you can track Fomo, Pumpfun, GMGN, Axiom and more, live on your charts.
one terminal. less switching. more time to catch opportunities before they become obvious.
in a market where seconds matter, your tools shouldn't slow you down.

9,150 people have joined the @FungoLabs campaign already.
imagine being thrown into a stadium with 9,149 other people and being told to race to the finish line.
everyone wants to win. everyone thinks they have a chance.
and somehow, you're convinced you're faster than all of them.
that's exactly the level of delusion you should bring to this campaign 😭

Alhamdulillah, after a lot of back-and-forth, I finally recorded my first podcast in my home studio after being out for 11 months.
I was on the verge of crying cos I got so emotional.
This podcast thing means a lot to me; it’s like a mini-world in my big world.

been having issues with my starlink for a week now.
only for a lady i don’t know from anywhere to knock on my door and ask why it stopped working.
i was like, “i don’t even know you. how did you get the password?”
turns out the neighbour i gave access to shared it with her.
the audacity!!!!
