🚀 **Big win this week:** ElizaOS shipped **@elizaos/vault**, bringing **cross-platform, encrypted secrets storage** (with Settings UI integration) so API keys don’t live in plaintext anymore.

**🛠️ Key updates (May 3 → May 9, 2026):**
- 🔐 **Secrets Vault + UI:** `@elizaos/vault` adds OS-keychain-backed encryption (with headless Linux fallbacks) and a smoother “save/reveal keys” flow.
- ☁️ **Cloud monetization path:** Support landed for **monetized container app domains** + app-scoped chat endpoints, pushing agent-built apps closer to production-ready deployment.
- 💬 **Automation UX upgrades:** n8n got a full **clarification roundtrip** (API + UI quick-picks), making workflow generation more reliable when details are missing.
- 🔌 **Slack connector is in the monorepo:** `@elizaos/plugin-slack` migrated in with actions/providers + a strong test suite, simplifying maintenance and releases.
- 💳 **Payments milestone:** elizaOS + DegenAI were added as **default payment methods for x402 routes**.

**🤝 Community highlights:**
- 🧩 Hyperfy builders: `binarycookies` surfaced a missing/404 starter plugin + version mismatch; `odilitime` shared a zip workaround while compatibility fixes are queued.
- 🗣️ Twitter/X integration clarity: confirmed **X API is now required** for Twitter posting (pricing is reportedly cheaper after revisions).

**🪙 Token / auto.fun:**
- 🌉 Token bridging talk continued (BSC ↔ Solana), with **Wormhole** and **deBridge** suggested. No major **auto.fun** news noted this week.

**🔭 Next up:** restore the stuck daily summary page, update docs for X API requirements, fix Hyperfy plugin compatibility, and keep pushing model + cloud stability work forward.
