🚀 Biggest win this week: **$ELIZA is now the default payment method in x402 for ElizaOS/Milady services** — real on-chain utility tied directly to infrastructure usage.

**Weekly Dev Update (Apr 23 → Apr 29):**
- 🧩 **Eliza v3 + Milady integration is nearing completion** (team expects an exciting couple of weeks ahead).
- 💳 **x402 payments:** confirmed you can **bill x402 services with $ELIZA** by default for ElizaOS/Milady.
- ☁️ **Cloud AI routing upgrade:** migrated from **Vercel AI Gateway → OpenRouter**, with **OpenAI + Anthropic failovers** for resilience.
- 🔐 **Auth reliability:** fixed CLI auth hangs by **auto-clearing stale Steward/Privy tokens**.
- 🛠️ **Automation & plugins:** n8n plugin expanded with **TriggerContext** (conversation routing) + **RuntimeContextProvider**, plus tighter credential/security rules (disconnect-purge + stricter runtime-fact behavior).

**Heads-up / blockers:**
- 🧱 Ongoing modernization toward **Node 24 / TS 6 / Bun 1.3.13 / React 19** is currently **blocked by a bun-install dependency issue** (PR stack stalled; CI regressions slipping through).

**Community highlights:**
- 💬 Great discussion on balancing “heads-down building” with **more frequent updates + PR/business planning** (shoutout: zadayos, cryptologos_00014).
- 🤝 Kevin111s introduced himself (SE) looking for a **US-based partner** to handle client-facing comms while he builds workflows/backends.

**AI16Z / auto.fun:** no official updates surfaced in the logs this week.

🔜 Next up: finish **v3 + Milady**, unblock the **Bun/dep upgrade stack**, fix the **Milady Play Store link**, and share more regular progress updates (plus upcoming degenAI news).
