# ElizaOS Developer Update (2026-03-02 → 2026-03-08)

## 1) Core Framework

### Runtime / Architecture
- **No core runtime or framework-architecture PRs were surfaced in this week’s aggregated GitHub activity.** Most engineering discussion happened in Discord and was centered around ecosystem extensions and operational infrastructure rather than changes to `elizaos/eliza` internals.

### Operational Infrastructure (in progress)
- **Universal autoscaling deployment platform (WIP)**: Stan described ongoing work on a cloud autoscaling solution intended to be **agent-agnostic** and able to spin up any Eliza agent with **multi-channel connectivity out of the box** (WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS), scaling resources based on demand.  
  - Status: design/prototyping discussed in Discord; no linked PR this week.
  - Technical implications for core builders:
    - Expect eventual standardization around **container entrypoints**, **health probes**, **webhook adapters**, and **secrets/config injection** (per-channel credentials) to enable “plug-and-run” scaling.
    - If you maintain plugins that require long-lived connections (Telegram polling, WhatsApp sessions), plan for **horizontal scaling semantics** (idempotent session restore, leader election, or sharded consumers).

**Discord context:** 2026-03-05 discussion summary (autoscaling platform) in community channels.

## 2) New Features

### On-chain audit trails via `xproof` plugin (pending merge)
- **PR:** Add `xproof` plugin to the plugin registry  
  - Link: https://github.com/elizaos-plugins/registry/pull/266  
  - Announced by: `jasonxkensei`  
  - Review status: **CodeRabbit approved**, no conflicts; **awaiting maintainer review/merge**.

**What it adds**
- `xproof.app` integration enabling **on-chain audit trails** for ElizaOS agents:
  - **Decision certification before execution** (commit a proof of “what the agent decided” before it triggers tool calls / actions).
  - **Compliance gating** (block or require additional checks/approvals before executing certain actions).

**Suggested integration pattern (conceptual)**
Because the registry PR does not include full runtime wiring details in the provided data, below is a **reference pattern** for how teams typically integrate “pre-execution certification” in an agent runtime. Adapt naming to the final plugin API once merged:

```ts
// Conceptual example — verify exact API after PR #266 is merged.
import { Agent } from "@elizaos/core";
import { xproof } from "@elizaos/plugin-xproof";

const agent = new Agent({
  plugins: [
    xproof({
      // Example: configure chain/network + policy
      network: "avalanche", // placeholder; confirm supported networks in plugin docs
      policy: {
        // denylist/allowlist tool calls, amounts, destinations, etc.
        requireProofForTools: ["transfer", "swap", "postTweet"],
      },
    }),
  ],
});

// Conceptual hook: before a tool executes, produce a canonical payload,
// hash it, write proof on-chain, then allow/deny based on plugin response.
agent.on("beforeToolCall", async (ctx) => {
  const decisionPayload = {
    tool: ctx.tool.name,
    args: ctx.tool.args,
    // include stable identifiers to make proofs replay-verifiable
    agentId: ctx.agent.id,
    conversationId: ctx.conversation.id,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  };

  const result = await ctx.plugins.xproof.certify(decisionPayload);

  if (!result.ok) {
    throw new Error(`xproof compliance gate blocked action: ${result.reason}`);
  }

  ctx.metadata.xproofTx = result.txHash;
});
```

**Implementation notes for developers**
- Use **canonical serialization** for decision payloads (stable key ordering, strict types) to ensure the hash you prove is reproducible.
- Decide whether you are proving:
  - the **full arguments** (max transparency, less privacy), or
  - a **commitment** (hash-only) plus off-chain storage for details (privacy-preserving, needs availability guarantees).
- Treat compliance gating as a **hard fail-closed** boundary for high-risk tools.

## 3) Bug Fixes

### Documentation fix PR (pending review)
- A community contributor (`wlt.vibe 🧩`) submitted a **README documentation fix PR** (PR number/link not present in the provided dataset).
- No critical runtime bugs were reported in the aggregated activity for this week.

### Security hygiene (community ops)
- A scam-link warning was raised in Discord (security awareness). While not a code fix, it’s a reminder to maintainers to:
  - lock down bot permissions,
  - review auto-link expansions,
  - and ensure contributors are using verified package sources.

---

## 4) API Changes

- **No core API changes were identified** from the provided GitHub/Discord summaries for this week.
- The only surfaced ecosystem change is the *addition* of a registry entry (PR #266), which does not itself imply a breaking API shift—though it may introduce new optional hooks/events once the plugin is adopted.

---

## 5) Social Media Integrations (Twitter / Telegram / Discord / Farcaster)

- **No new merges** were reported for Twitter, Telegram, Discord, or Farcaster plugins this week.
- The **autoscaling platform** under development (see Core Framework) explicitly targets **WhatsApp / Telegram / SMS** operational support, which may later influence recommended deployment patterns for social adapters (stateless handlers, queue-based ingestion, etc.).

---

## 6) Model Provider Updates (OpenAI / Anthropic / DeepSeek / etc.)

- **No model-provider integration changes** were surfaced in this week’s aggregated activity.

---

## 7) Breaking Changes & Migration Warnings (V1 → V2)

### Framework V1 → V2
- **No new V1→V2 breaking changes were announced** in the provided data this week.
- If you are mid-migration, treat the following as evergreen safeguards:
  - Pin versions for `@elizaos/*` packages and plugins during migration.
  - Validate plugin manifests against the registry schema before upgrading.
  - Run integration tests for tool-call gating or policy middleware (especially if adopting `xproof`-style pre-execution checks).

### Token migration (ai16z → elizaOS) — operational breaking constraints
While not a framework API change, it is a **hard breaking constraint** for ecosystem participation and governance:

- Late migration support is under discussion; the team indicated they are **creating a tracking list** of affected users and determining **eligibility criteria**.
- Governance fairness proposal surfaced: use **tokens physically held at snapshot time** to adjudicate edge cases.
- Team clarified they **took a snapshot and hold all ai16z from the migration**, verifiable on-chain.

**Developer-facing impact**
- If your app or agent references token-gated features, ensure your gating logic accounts for:
  - snapshot-based eligibility,
  - potential late-migration remediation rules (once finalized),
  - and clear UX for users who missed deadlines.

**Discord context (migration + community comms):**
- 2026-03-05: late-migration issue raised and tracking plan discussed
- 2026-03-06: snapshot/holdings clarification shared
- 2026-03-07: continued community questions; airdrops and builder promotion mentioned  
  - Discussion channel link (from dataset): https://discord.com/channels/1253563208833433701/1253563209462448241
