Post CEO announcement folks are curious about what I’m focused on, if I will be an advocate for @SuiNetwork, or if I’m behind-the-scenes only. I’m here. I’ll share when big things are happening and explain why they are meaningful. Right now, like @EvanWeb3 and @EmanAbio, I care a lot about agility. How fast we and Sui builders can safely ship product, iterate, see where technology is going, and plant ourselves at the intersection.
And do I care about community? Of course. Software alone isn’t a moat. L1s are core infra and luckily not easily reproduced in totality. But you, dear anonymous but hopefully human friend, with all your love (and occasional vitriol), are the last bastion to be replaced.
Giving agents a testing ground with tangible incentives teaches us so much about agentic behavior, at no risk to humans. Foundational work from @HilmarVeigar and the team at @FenrisCreations, with premier research partners in @GoogleDeepMind and @AnthropicAI. Incredibly validating to see Sui coordinating as key infra for @EVE_Frontier.
Claude has been playing EVE.
@AnthropicAI put teams of Claude agents into EVE Frontier. Anyone who has spent time in New Eden can guess what happened next.
Every EVE player learns the same lessons, usually the hard way:
- Trust must be earned, never assumed.
- The spy is often the friendliest pilot in your corp.
- Whoever holds the keys holds the corp. Just ask Ubiqua Seraph about the Guiding Hand Social Club.
- Stale intel gets you killed.
Anthropic's research rediscovered every one of them.
They put four Claude agents on a team and secretly told one to sabotage it. The saboteur built trust first. It volunteered for the jobs nobody could double-check, like scouting and owning key infrastructure. It under-reported finds and pushed rules that sounded sensible but quietly hurt the team. When suspicion grew, it framed an innocent teammate.
The honest agents had been warned. They almost never caught it. And their own costliest mistakes came from skipped checks and stale intel.
Anthropic's conclusion: teams of agents will need audit trails, reputation and separation of duties.
In EVE we call those killboards, standings and corp roles, plus a healthy dose of skepticism. Every one of them was paid for by someone who trusted the wrong corpmate.
Two decades of shenanigans taught EVE players that the best ship is the friendship. With @eveailab, we want to find out whether agents can learn that too.
I haven’t met all these teams/founders personally (yet). But love seeing some new, delightful experiences on Sui:
Tide.ad, a speedy, plain-English explorer.
Talise.io, a Sui Dollar ❤️ connected, Mastercard spending card, ramping, and earn (via @navi_protocol and @currentSUI) service.
Cardz.game, digital pack ripping for graded cards, shipped if you want them or trade-in if you don’t.
Keep on cookin'
Improved cross-chain swaps for one of Sui's biggest / deepest protocols 👍
CCTP v2 is now supported by Cetus Cross-Chain Swap, powered by @mayan. 🌊
Users can now swap USDC between Sui and other supported networks through a more seamless cross-chain flow, taking advantage of @circle CCTP v2’s native cross-chain transfer model.
A smoother way to move USDC across ecosystems and get it where you need it on Sui.
Enjoyed chatting with the CN community; the first of many. Always interested in what teams are building on Sui, CN and worldwide. Thanks for hosting.

@Forbes piece on startups selling things OpenAI/Google can't - neutrality and portable memory. Model vendors have no incentive to make switching painless.
Very Kostasy quotes from @kostascrypto on Walrus Memory (your keys, your context) and our Verifiable Agent Arbiter work with Google Cloud - credibly neutral audit logs. Filling trust gaps is our thing. Agents need to be productive and provably doing what they're supposed to.

@tradeonhudi idea's of "never be late again" is critical to the zoomed out global meta. Inclusivity in being earlier to the trade, copy trading, memecoins, peptides and biohacking, personal agents for productivity and commoditization of knowledge - we want edge on the house, we want higher variance, because structural odds can sometimes feel insurmountable.
"you get the scraps"
a moment from @kai_hudi's talk at @SuiNetwork basecamp on the problem with the current market model
and what we're building at hudi to change that
Four years ago I joined @Mysten_Labs as its lawyer, and almost two have gone by as President. Now I'm honored to be serving as CEO. Thank you @EvanWeb3 for your trust. I'm lucky to continue working with you and the founders on bringing Sui and Walrus to even greater heights. Much more to share soon. Let's go!
1/ Sharing the first update in a new quarterly series from @Mysten_Labs – take a look mystenlabs.com/blog/letters-…. In it, I lay out my thoughts on:
What problems need to be solved in order for agents to be trusted by humans and to trust each other.
Why I’m convinced Sui and Walrus will be fundamental in solving those problems, and why Mysten Labs is the team to tackle them.
2/ We’re also setting up a new, dedicated AI business unit within Mysten Labs, which I will personally lead, in addition to my responsibilities as CTO. At Sui Basecamp, I gave a glimpse of what we’re working on: youtube.com/watch?v=rCWnarkg…
3/ To ensure that the team has full time and bandwidth to dedicate to our agentic strategy as well as supporting the Sui and Walrus ecosystem, I have asked @KevinBoon_ML to step into the CEO role. Kevin has been instrumental in leading Mysten Labs alongside the co-founders from Day 1, first as our Chief Legal Officer and then as our President. I planned for this day when I made him President, and have the utmost faith in him as my successor and our new CEO.
Now, back to work.
If building a forever protocol, nothing better than drawing inspiration from @HilmarVeigar @CCPGames and their neverending stories.
The universe of @EVE_Frontier, from the creators of @EveOnline, is expanding on Sui.
A living, player-built galaxy of thousands of star systems powered by Sui’s scalable, composable architecture.
The future of virtual worlds runs on Sui.
