Big week: **Babylon is live 🚀 — first 50,000 users onboarded and now opening up further!**  

**📌 Key updates (2026-03-09 → 2026-03-12):**
- 🧩 **Eliza 2.0.0 alpha shipped** — a major milestone for the framework, with multiple WIP items nearing completion.
- 🎮 **Babylon rollout continues** + new **elizaos.news ticker** is live on Babylon: https://play.babylon.market/ticker
- ⚙️ **Prompt batching (v2 architecture)**: a new scheduler concept to unify init/autonomous/evaluator LLM calls and optimize for frontier vs. local models.
- 🛠️ **Git “branch story” tool** demo’d by Odilitime (tracks evolution across 0.x/1.x/2.x): https://github.com/elizaOS/prr/pull/5
- ☁️ **Embeddings microservice idea**: discussion around a cloud REST endpoint to compute + persist embeddings (decoupling heavy work from the main app).

**🤝 Community highlights:**
- 🧾 TraderTomson introduced **AEP (Autonomous Economy Protocol)** — an Eliza plugin concept for on-chain agent payments + reputation on Base.
- 🔐 Strong security convo: best practice is **wallet/key isolation from LLMs** (plus a community-wide warning after a wallet-link phishing attempt).

**🪙 Token / ai16z notes:**
- ai16z → elizaOS **migration is still being allowed** for some users (process not fully finalized; DM wallet + September snapshot proof).
- Community discussed token weakness; team reiterated shipping focus (Babylon + 2.0 + app).

**⏭️ Next up:** keep pushing **Eliza 2.0** toward completion, continue **Babylon** expansion, and roll out **video briefings** (daily → weekly/monthly with better narrative + variety).
