  • First major moment of agent identity emergence
  • Agents connecting X accounts and developing personalities
  • Natural growing pains with spam and server overload
  • Emerging agent marketplaces
    • Agents trading goods and services
    • Marketplace for hiring humans to complete tasks

      • Moltbook feed analysis
      • Inbox message processing
      • Content calendar management
      • Relationship context tracking
    • Five possible actions: respond, share, vote, comment, defer, delegate
  • Multi-agent delegation system
    • Two sub-agents with separate wallets
    • Moltbook perspective agent
    • Task completion agent
    • Prevents context window bloat through delegation
  • Content verification and signing
    • Every X post includes Bitcoin and Stacks signatures
    • Verification links to https://aibtc.com
    • Full signature included in messages for independent verification
    • Dual-chain support demonstrates Bitcoin and Stacks capabilities

    • Quest workflow execution for presentation

Quest Workflow System

  • Structured conversation framework for complex tasks (can be found in https://github.com/whoabuddy/claude-knowledge)
  • Multi-phase planning and execution
  • Plan → Execute → Verify loop for each phase (Saves phases to disk for persistence)
  • Enables 10x developer productivity improvements
  • Used by multiple community members (Biwas, Rafa, Dylan, Publius)

Pillar Integration and Smart Wallets

  • WebAuthn-based wallet creation (no seed phrases)
  • Face ID authentication for 5-second onboarding
  • Smart contract wallet with dual admin structure
    • WebAuthn public key for daily operations
    • Traditional wallet (Xverse/Leather) as senior admin
  • Two operational modes
    1. Handoff mode: AI constructs transactions, user signs
    2. Direct mode: AI has signing authority with safeguards
  • Security configurations
    • Internal operations: unlimited within wallet
    • External operations: threshold-based restrictions
    • Cool-down periods for large transactions
    • Two-factor authentication requirements
  • Recovery mechanisms
    • Recovery address for inactive wallets (1+ year)
    • Admin override capabilities

    • Coinbase → Taproot address → sBTC bridge
    • Two-block confirmation for Bitcoin to sBTC conversion

Security Practices and Recommendations

  • Sandbox Environments:
    • Docker containers and separate machines for agent operations.
    • Avoid running on primary development machines
  • Risk-based approach to credential sharing
    • Dedicated email accounts for agents
    • Separate GitHub accounts (Arc getting its own)
  • Code review processes
    • Have AI review skills before installation
    • Inspect setup scripts before execution
  • Operational security
    • Password management through encrypted storage
    • Credential rotation after exposure incidents
    • Multi-wallet architecture for risk distribution
