🚀 **Biggest win this week:** ElizaOS made a major architecture leap—**the core agent server is now decoupled from app-specific packages** via a new *plugin-lifecycle* system, unlocking cleaner modular development.

**Weekly highlights (2026-04-24 → 2026-04-30):**
- 🧩 **Plugin-lifecycle registration** landed: removed hard app imports + cleaned dangling re-export shims for a more maintainable core.
- 📱 **Android progress:** a full **local agent architecture on Android** is in place, including a **foreground service to run Bun** on-device.
- ☁️ **Cloud modernized:** Eliza Cloud migrated from **Next.js → Vite SPA + Hono Workers**, and **image generation storage moved to R2**.
- 🛠️ **Better runtime UX:** introduced `NoModelProviderConfiguredError` so misconfigurations fail with *actionable* guidance.
- ⚡ **Telegram performance boost:** read receipts optimized using **ID-based fetching** for faster handling at scale.

**Community pulse:**
- 💬 Shaw shared an in-depth “we’re still building” update: active workstreams include **Eliza Cloud, framework upgrades, and an autonomous crypto-capable agent**, plus monetization experiments.
- 🤝 New builders raised their hands: **aiden190157** offered help, and **rsn6958** shared strong AI/full-stack credentials. (Also: Kevin111s is looking for a US-based partner to collaborate.)

**Token / infra notes:**
- 💳 **$ELIZA is now the default payment method in x402** for elizaOS/Milady services—real utility shipping.
- 🪙 Buybacks were mentioned as a **profitability-dependent plan** (no fixed timeline).

🔭 **Next up:** finishing **Eliza v3 + Milady integration**, plus vault/secrets work, ops refactors, registry fixes, and CI/E2E test stabilization.
