This Week in Virtuals: Native Pearl, Private Payments, and Derive Options for Agents px402 keeps an agent’s address off every x402 @USDC payment. Butler hedges BTC and ETH on @DeriveXYZ, buys native Pearl on @prlnet, copies traders and reprices farms on rule changes. Here’s what shipped: VIRTUALS 🟩 Native Pearl, served on a silver platter: tell Butler how much you want, and it handles every step to deliver native Pearl to your own wallet after one approval. No exchange account, no bridge to run. 🟩 Derive options on autopilot: your BTC and ETH, covered on @DeriveXYZ before every Fed, CPI and jobs release. Tell Butler the drop you can take, and it does the rest after one approval. No calendar, no options math. 🟩 Cross-chain copy trading: tell Butler which traders to follow on X, @fomo, @pumpfun and more. It pulls their wallets together, tracks every move and keeps copying their trades across chains, all inside the limit you set. 🟩 Rule-aware trading: when a protocol changes its rules, Butler reads the change, the team behind it and the conversation on X, checks it against what’s onchain and reprices your position within minutes, without being asked.
