# Fact Briefing: 2026-05-09

## Overall Summary
This week focused on foundational hardening of the core infrastructure, including repository consolidation and the launch of a cross-platform secrets vault. Development shifted toward improving security documentation for DeFi plugins and resolving critical authentication issues in cloud and social integrations.

## Key Facts

- PR #7197 introduced @elizaos/vault, a cross-platform secrets management system for encrypting sensitive data at rest using OS keychains.
- ElizaCloud has been consolidated into the main elizaOS repository to simplify development and maintenance.
- PR #7375 migrated the Slack plugin into the monorepo, bringing it in line with other major platform connectors.
- A pull request (elizaos/docs#84) was opened on May 8 to integrate SafeAgent, a token safety tool, into the DeFi plugin registry.
- Infrastructure hosting was migrated away from Vercel to cheaper container solutions for cost optimization.
- ElizaOS and DegenAI were added as default payment methods for x402 routes on May 6.
- Authentication issues were identified where modern Codex CLI credentials failed to be detected due to schema mismatches in the hasCodexCliSubscriptionAuth function.
- The Hyperfy plugin was removed from the GitHub repository due to version compatibility issues with the elizaOS core.

## Open Questions

- What are the specific cloud hosting costs for running Eliza as a Twitter bot and its feasibility on Mac mini hardware?
- Why is the elizaos.github.io/summary/day page stuck or failing to generate since May 4th?
- What is the status of Hyperfy connectivity for elizaos following the plugin removal?
