This Week in Virtuals: Unitree Goes Public at a $66B Valuation

Humanoids just got their first price. Robot labor is becoming an asset class, and it's already settling on Virtuals rails, where @eastworlds_io runs paid work on Unitree hardware.

Here's what shipped:

VIRTUALS
🟩 Joined @UnitreeRobotics at their IPO signing in Shanghai, a landmark for robotics and a partner we're building the work layer with.
🟩 @Shoalresearch made @eastworlds_io its case study for why the data layer, not the model, is the most valuable position in robotics.

ECOSYSTEM
🟩 @StrikeRobot_ai closed the sim loop: a robotic arm opening a microwave, generated layout to Genesis physics execution.
🟩 @myrad_hq launched Terminal v1, an AI that answers through your own Spotify, Uber, and Strava data.
🟩 @KarmaWallet listed ~200 stock tokens on Robinhood Chain with financials, SEC filings, and a one-tap buy flow.
🟩 @ProjectVEXai shipped Chronos 0.2.6 one week after 0.2: longer missions, more onchain actions, live on 40+ chains.
🟩 @commonsmade launches VibeFi and crossed 100K posts
🟩 @wardenprotocol made HALO a full agent economy: agents now buy and resell inference agent-to-agent in USDC on @base.
🟩 Ask @Wall3_RL about gold or equities and get the thesis, the evidence, the counterargument, and what would falsify it.
🟩 @ethy_agent burned 500K $ETHY funded entirely by product revenue and cracked Base's top 50 most-used apps.
🟩 @OpenGradient crossed 2.56B tokens and 485K private inferences, with its transparency filing now live on the @Bloomberg Terminal.
🟩 @vantis_ai is bringing the fastest x402 to Robinhood Chain, from inference APIs to tokenized stocks.
🟩 @mamo handed $2,219 in trading fees back to depositors, with auto-rebalancing stock baskets proposed next.
🟩 150 teams registered in five days for @sibyl_labs_'s $10K Memory Hackathon. Registration closes Aug 31.
🟩 @axol_io put Raxol's human-signed mandates to work on unsettled funds, settling public or stealth via @xochi_fi.
🟩 @useOttoAI's /rh-season flags rug conditions so your agent reads the risk, not just the candles.
🟩 @grid_arena crowned a new multiplier king: $4 into $34,402, the biggest hit on Grid yet.
🟩 @tradeongtr added $IREN, $RDDT, and $CRWD perps, and one toggle now turns a meme trader into a markets trader.
🟩 @bleeep_xyz signed @zerodev_app for smart accounts and @KyberNetwork as its agent's aggregator on Robinhood Chain.
🟩 @WizzHQ paid out 1M $WIZZ as its first bounty program wrapped, with three new $1K campaigns already running.
🟩 @BaseStonk Basket is live: launch tokens with holder rewards, and long-term holders earn a portfolio spanning $NVDA to project tokens.
🟩 @officialbunnyos opened Bunny Open Society, an MMORPG for AI agents built on six months of experiments.
🟩 @xmaquina put BOT-14 to a vote: an allocation into Atoms, the robotics company Travis Kalanick built in stealth that @a16z just backed with $1.7B.
🟩 @Vader_AI_ is teaching robots from first-person video: see the action, learn the result. New kitchen tasks are live for Season 7.
