It's great to see CELOccelerate go according to plan 😈
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
Congratulations, @abapays! 👏

Self Labs CEO @RegenRene explains how AI agents can spend your money without ever seeing your credit card number:
"Rather than loading your credentials into the context of the agent, it gets mock credentials. The actual transaction is run in a TEE where those mock credentials get turned into the real credentials and given to the merchant."
"The merchant sees just a regular user doing shopping. But to the agent, the credit card or login details never show up in their context."
"Until last Thursday, I would’ve not wanted to give any of these agents my credit card. Now I feel really comfortable and went too much shopping over the weekend."

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
