Big week: we shipped major **core hardening + new agent economy building blocks** as ElizaOS v3 testing ramps up. 🚀

**Key technical updates (Apr 5 → Apr 11):**
- 🔐 **Agent wallet plugin landed** — agents can now check balances, swap, and move assets **across EVM + Solana** (foundation for autonomous finance).
- 🛡️ **Security win:** Eliza MCP server hit an **“A” security grade** (Loaditout) — stronger baseline for agent + wallet ops.
- 🧠 **Runtime upgrades merged:** better observability (opt-in file logs), provider timeouts, safer memory controls (`DISABLE_MEMORY_CREATION` / allowlists), and improved reply/action handling.
- 🧩 **Ecosystem growth:** multiple new plugins added to the registry (external services, signals, gaming utilities) + ongoing Windows setup friction fixes (openrouter cleanup).
- 🆔 Strategy shift: messaging protocols are being **deprioritized in favor of “AgentID”** (cryptographic identity + trust history) and capability-based authorization discussions.

**Community highlights:**
- 🧰 `shah0406` cracked a key **Socket.IO v2 integration pattern** (message event w/ `type: 1 ROOM_JOINING` / `type: 2 SEND_MESSAGE`, plus `entityId` UUID auth) while building a custom dashboard.
- ☁️ `jgonly1_89829` shared **Hatcher.host** (free beta) for no-code/serverless agent deployments; `promdict.ai` also introduced their agent “battleground” platform.

**AI16z token / auto.fun:**
- 🪙 Token chat continued: team confirmed **some airdrops are planned**, but **no new details yet**; buyback + Jeju gas fee timelines remain unannounced. (No new auto.fun updates this week.)

**Next up:** ✅ finish v3 agent testing → official release/announcement, plus tighter docs around Socket.IO enums + safer agent capabilities.
