# ElizaOS Weekly Newsletter (Feb 21–27, 2026) ## 1) Executive Summary **1) v1/v2 branch stability got a real-world stress test—and we responded quickly.** This week surfaced a serious version-control anomaly: the `develop` branch unexpectedly contained **2.0.0 code instead of 1.x**, and it couldn’t be cleanly traced via normal PR/commit history. To avoid breaking users mid-migration, the team moved to preserve a clean path forward by creating a dedicated **`v2-develop`** branch for those tracking next-gen changes, while keeping 1.x users unblocked. **2) Early-stage ecosystem tooling continues to expand (and community builders are shipping).** We saw tangible momentum from community-led shipping: **ElizaBAO** completed a **PumpFun hackathon submission** (separate from Babylon), and **Fido** introduced **fomolt**, a CLI-first agentic trading platform designed specifically for testing Eliza agents on Base (with paymaster + API key auth for smoother dev loops). **3) Community focus sharpened around integration reliability + risk management.** Two themes dominated Discord: (a) **integration pain points** (notably Twitter input issues) and (b) **legal/compliance uncertainty** around the RuneScape-adjacent **Hyperscape** project—prompting a pragmatic discussion about open-source distribution and takedown realities. --- ## 2) Development Updates ### Branching & release hygiene - **Branch protection via `v2-develop`:** After discovering `develop` carried unexpected **2.0.0** content, the team opted to **split the streams** to reduce disruption for users still on 1.x. Expect follow-up communication on recommended upgrade paths and which branch to track depending on your deployment timeline. ### Framework & architecture: “what’s next” signals - **Multi-language Eliza v2 work remains prominent** in ongoing PRs, with the overall direction emphasizing a slimmer core plus **Rust/Python/TypeScript** support and examples (see `next`/v2 PRs like **#6474** and **#6485**). - **SAID Protocol identity integration** is being developed to give agents an on-chain Solana identity (PR **#6510**). The proposal: `elizaos create` would automatically generate an Ed25519 keypair, register via SAID, and store a local wallet file (opt-out, non-breaking behavior). ### Bug reports & developer experience - **Twitter input functionality issue (Discord):** Jamie reported Twitter input problems in `#💬-coders`, but debugging is blocked until version/product details are provided. If you’re experiencing this too, please include: ElizaOS version, plugin/provider details, and a minimal repro. - **OpenAI-compatible endpoint flexibility (GitHub issue):** A request is open to support **custom OpenAI endpoint URLs** for OpenAI-compatible providers (Issue **#6490**). - **Duplicate LLM calls when messages include URLs:** The webapp can process a URL both as text and as an attachment preview, causing duplicated output and doubled token usage (Issue **#6486**). This is a high-leverage fix for both cost and UX. ### Process & tooling - **GitHub ↔ Linear bidirectional sync friction:** The team flagged that two-way syncing created noise (“a mess”) in issue tracking and will require cleanup and clearer workflow boundaries. --- ## 3) Community Spotlight (Discord) ### Onboarding help that actually unblocks people Jamie (new to ElizaOS) asked how to build an agent. **Omid Sa** gave a simple, effective path: install ElizaOS, read docs, then bring concrete questions to the dev help channels. This is the exact kind of lightweight mentorship that scales a developer community. ### Builders shipping in public - **ElizaBAO:** Confirmed a **PumpFun hackathon submission** (and clarified it’s **not** Babylon). - **Fido:** Introduced **fomolt**, positioned as a test harness for Eliza agents doing trades on **Base**, featuring: - CLI-based trading for rapid iteration - **USDC gas abstraction** via paymaster - **API key auth** (avoids seedphrase-in-dev concerns) - A clear request for feedback from agent developers ### Real talk: legal/compliance risk discussion A longer thread unpacked whether **Jagex** might shut down the RuneScape-related **Hyperscape** effort. **Odilitime** noted Jagex hasn’t commented yet and highlighted the messy reality of open source: multiple forks/copies can persist even if one repo gets pressured. If you’re contributing to adjacent-IP projects, now’s a good time to think about naming, assets, and dependency boundaries. ### New talent signals User **elgamer** posted a clear list of skills (smart contracts, DeFi/NFTs, React/Next.js, Python/TS, Solidity/Rust). If your project needs help, consider reaching out—this is how small ecosystem teams form quickly. --- ## 4) Token Economics (AI16z + auto.fun) ### AI16z token conversation (light but notable) In `#💬-discussion`, a “clawd bot” callout labeled **ai16z** “the most interesting token in the AI sector,” but **Odilitime** cautioned the referenced models were **outdated**—a good reminder to treat automated token narratives as *inputs*, not conclusions. ### ELIZAOS price concern + team response A community member asked whether ELIZAOS looked “dead” due to price stagnation. **Odilitime** directly rebutted that: development is active, and broader market conditions are weighing on pricing across crypto. The key takeaway: the community wants tighter coupling between shipping visibility and market perception—so continuing to publish concrete progress (branches, releases, integrations) matters. ### auto.fun No official auto.fun product or token-mechanics announcements were captured in the provided data this week. If there *were* external updates, drop them in Discord so we can include them in next week’s roundup with citations. --- ## 5) Coming Soon - **Resolution path for Twitter input issues:** pending version/product details from affected users. If you can reproduce, please help by posting a short repro checklist. - **Bot/repo automation clarity:** Odilitime raised an open question about whether the **code bot “follows” orgs** when used in organizational repos. Expect more investigation here—this affects governance and repo hygiene for teams operating under org accounts. - **Evaluation + prompt efficiency ideas from the wider ecosystem:** the team reviewed Nous Research’s **Hermes Agent framework**, with particular interest in **trajectory compression** (fitting training traces into token budgets). If adopted, this could translate into better scenario tooling and lower-cost iterations. --- ## 6) Resources ### Discord threads referenced - `#💬-coders` (Twitter input issue): https://discord.com/channels/1253563208833433701/1300025221834739744 - `#xfn-framework` (code bot/org behavior): https://discord.com/channels/1253563208833433701/1377726087789940836 - `#💬-discussion` (onboarding, token chat, Hyperscape legal risk): https://discord.com/channels/1253563208833433701/1253563209462448241 ### GitHub items to track - **Issue #6486** — URL triggers duplicate LLM calls (webapp): https://github.com/elizaos/eliza/issues/6486 - **Issue #6490** — Custom OpenAI endpoint URL request: https://github.com/elizaos/eliza/issues/6490 - **PR #6510** — SAID Protocol on-chain identity (open): https://github.com/elizaos/eliza/pull/6510 - **PR #6474** — “next” multi-language v2 direction (open): https://github.com/elizaos/eliza/pull/6474 - **PR #6485** — multi-language Eliza (Rust/Python/TS) (open): https://github.com/elizaos/eliza/pull/6485 If you want next week’s newsletter to be sharper: when reporting bugs, include version + environment + minimal repro; when sharing launches, link a repo/demo so others can validate and contribute.
