🚀 Biggest win this week: **agent monetization is getting real** — ElizaOS **v3 is “nearly ready”** and is aimed at letting agents generate revenue (plus the ecosystem’s commerce plugins are accelerating).

**Week recap (2026-04-19 → 2026-04-23):**
- 💳 **LemonCake payment plugin launched (MIT, open-source):** spend-capped + time-boxed + revocable “Pay Tokens” for agents to pay API paywalls (USDC/JPYC on Polygon), with receipts + accounting exports (QuickBooks/Xero/etc.). *1-line v2 integration:* `eliza-plugin-lemoncake`.
- 🧩 **Plugin ecosystem growth:** `@elisym/plugin-elizaos` added to the registry, connecting ElizaOS agents to the **Elisym** marketplace (paid jobs + SOL payments over Solana/Nostr flows).
- 🔐 **Cloud identity upgrades:** auth flows migrated to **Steward**, plus **native Ethereum + Solana login buttons**; fixed an image-model billing classification bug.
- 🛠️ **Infra hardening:** Milady CI pipeline restored (website blocker + Telegram export recovered), plus broad dependency/security maintenance across Rust/Python/TS.
- 🧪 **v2/v3 dev status:** core devs confirmed **v2.x is usable for building now** (v2 is still “alpha”); v3 porting work is queued next.

**Community highlights:**
- 🧵 Big discussion on **lawsuit comms + transparency**; request for a proactive statement to reduce delisting risk.
- ⚠️ **Security alert:** wallet-drainer reported at `bulkdao.co/allocation` (do not connect wallets). Please stay vigilant.

**AI16Z / token note:** ⛔ **AI16Z → ELIZAOS migration window is closed**; late cases may be waitlisted (no promises).

**Next up:** v3 porting (incl. Elisym), **v2 stable release planning**, CI permission fixes (OIDC), and digging into Discord’s mysterious auto-deletion issue.
