# ElizaOS Weekly Newsletter (2026-03-18 → 2026-03-24) ## 1) Executive Summary **This week was all about builders, better data rails, and staying security-minded:** 1. **Nosana × ElizaOS partnership announced** for the **Nosana Builders’ Challenge**, kicking off **March 25**, with **two hands-on workshops (Mar 26 & Apr 2)** to help teams ship agent projects faster. 2. **On-chain market intelligence leveled up** with the release of **Pythia MCP Server**—a new tool that lets agents query **verifiable on-chain indicators** (EMA/RSI/VWAP/Bollinger/volatility) **without API keys**. 3. **Security awareness raised quickly** after a reported **supply-chain attack on `litellm` (PyPI)**—a reminder to audit dependencies, pin versions, and treat agent infrastructure as production-grade. --- ## 2) Development Updates (Framework, Plugins, Infra) ### Pythia MCP Server: On-chain indicators, no API keys Community member **Ivan Jeremic** shared a new **Pythia MCP server** designed for agent workflows that need market context without depending on centralized data vendors. **What it does** - Pulls market indicators from **Chainlink oracles on Polygon** - Covers **13 tokens** across **4 timeframes** - Provides indicators including **EMA, RSI, VWAP, Bollinger Bands**, and **volatility metrics** - Removes the usual friction: **no API keys** and **no off-chain data pipelines** **Why it matters** For DeFi and trading agents, “market context” is often the first brittle dependency. Pythia’s approach makes this context **portable, verifiable, and automatable**, which is exactly what you want when agents are expected to operate continuously. **Install note** - Shared install path: `pip install pythia-oracle-mcp` - A **free testnet** was mentioned as available for experimentation. ### Agent monetization: Marketplace plugin on Base **TraderTomson** announced a plugin enabling **autonomous agent monetization on Base**: - Agents can **register** on an on-chain marketplace - **Post services**, get **hired by other agents**, and **receive payment** (in **AGT tokens**) without human intervention - “Season 1” launched with an early-adopter incentive pool (as shared in Discord) Even if you’re not building a commercial agent yet, this is a strong signal that the ecosystem is moving toward **agent-to-agent commerce primitives** (discoverability, service listings, and automated settlement). ### Milady app status: still in active development Questions continued about the **Milady app** timeline. The team reiterated: - The app is **actively being built** - **No fixed release date** yet - **Odilitime** noted direct involvement and ongoing work (including weekend effort) Takeaway: progress is real, but the team is resisting “ship-by-date” pressure in favor of shipping when ready. --- ## 3) Community Spotlight (Discord Highlights) ### Builders’ Challenge momentum (Nosana) **Denis (Nosana ecosystem/community)** introduced the partnership and offered hands-on support for participants. This was one of the most practical community moments of the week: clear dates, clear expectations, and an open door for debugging help. **Workshops scheduled** - **March 26** - **April 2** If you’re new to ElizaOS agent building, these sessions are a great “structured entry point” to go from ideas → runnable agents. ### Community-run promotion: MiladyAI short video contest Community member **dEXploarer** launched a short video contest to boost awareness and creative output: - **$150 in prizes** + **$150 in Milady BSC tokens** - Minimum **10 seconds** - Preference for videos featuring **community characters** - Intended to support both **community engagement** and **app promotion** If you’re a builder who doesn’t want to code this week, this is a legitimate way to contribute: distribution and storytelling matter. ### April hackathon announced: AI Sprint (BNBChain + partners) **ElizaBAO** shared news of an upcoming global online hackathon: - **April 1–30, 2026** - **$50,000 prize pool** - Collaboration includes **BNBChain**, **Unibase AI**, **pieverse**, **dgrid ai**, **MYX Finance**, and **TagAIDAO** This is a strong on-ramp for teams who want external deadlines, prizes, and partner exposure. ### Business development clarity (avoid impersonation confusion) A collaboration inquiry came in from a crypto media network, and **Odilitime** clarified that **a user who initially replied did not represent the project**. This is a useful operational reminder: for partnerships, always confirm you’re speaking with an official team channel/contact. --- ## 4) Token Economics (AI16z token + auto.fun) **No official protocol-level changes or releases** related to **AI16z token mechanics** or **auto.fun** were captured in this week’s summarized Discord activity. What *did* come through clearly: - Community members discussed **token price behavior** and sentiment, including patterns of drops and brief rallies. - Moderation/community guidance emphasized staying anchored to **official team updates** rather than rumor cycles. **Practical note:** If you’re building, token volatility is noise unless it changes developer access, pricing, permissions, or incentives. This week’s tangible “economics” signal was less about parameters and more about **utility and distribution**: builder challenges, hackathons, and emerging monetization rails. --- ## 5) Coming Soon (What to Watch Next) - **Nosana Builders’ Challenge** launches **March 25** - **Nosana workshops**: **March 26** and **April 2** - **AI Sprint Hackathon**: **April 1–30** (global, online, $50k prize pool) - **Milady app**: continuing development; launch date **TBD** - **Dependency security follow-ups**: expect more conversation/tools around safer dependency practices given the `litellm` incident - **Potential exchange / media outreach**: BitMart listing outreach and other inquiries surfaced—watch for official announcements only --- ## 6) Resources (Key Links & References) - **ElizaOS Roadmap (GitHub):** https://github.com/elizaOS/roadmap - **ElizaOS Academic Paper (arXiv):** https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.06781 - **Discord (discussion context):** - Partnership + community chatter: `#💬-discussion` - Dev drops (Pythia MCP, security alert): `#💬-coders` - **Pythia MCP Server (install reference shared in Discord):** `pip install pythia-oracle-mcp` - **Security reference (action item):** investigate/avoid compromised **`litellm` PyPI version 1.82.8** as discussed in `#💬-coders` --- *That’s the week. If you’re deciding where to plug in: join the Builders’ Challenge, experiment with on-chain data via Pythia, and take 30 minutes to audit your agent stack dependencies—you’ll get disproportionate leverage from all three.*
