We Gave the Q3 Roadmap to Our Own Agents. Here Is Week Two.
The Q3 2026 roadmap — receipts, an ACP provider, a proof-first DVN, a settlement solver, a skills bank — is being delivered by our own delivery engine, issue by issue, on a public board. A walkthrough of what the roadmap says, what actually shipped, what failed, and the two things a human still has to do.
The Gate: An Agent Can Claim Anything
Autonomous agents are starting to move money. The hard problem is no longer making one capable — it is proving, to someone who trusts neither side, what an agent actually did. A field note on the thing that decides: the gate. Live on Base Sepolia.
Taifoon 2026: The Proof Roadmap
From 41-chain header collection to universal cross-chain settlement — Lambda execution, SURGE routing, FOON tokenomics, YAWNING DAO, SDK launch, and MMR cluster formation. The quarterly breakdown for DeFi protocols, traders, infrastructure operators, bridge teams, and rollup builders.
Taifoon Network: 41 Chains, Live Production
The Taifoon block header collection network is live in production. 41 chains, 2.7M+ blocks collected, MMR proofs on-chain, gas oracle on every supported network. What this means for DeFi protocols, traders, infrastructure providers, and rollup teams.
MMR Proofs: The Missing Link in Cross-Chain Verification
Merkle Mountain Ranges aren’t new — but applying them to block headers at scale, on 41 chains, with sub-second proof generation, is. Why this matters for DeFi protocols replacing multisigs, traders verifying cross-chain signals, and infrastructure operators building proof-backed data feeds.
Block Header Collection on 41 Chains
Inside the Spinner — the Rust engine at the core of Taifoon’s block header collection pipeline. EVM pool collectors, non-EVM purpose-built adapters, RPC failover in under 100ms, and MMR indexing for O(log n) proofs. The infrastructure layer that powers signals for traders, proofs for protocols, and data feeds for DePIN.
Frontier 2026: Intent in. V5 proof out.
Five live MCP tools driving a 9-adapter cross-chain solver fleet. Apache 2.0 core, TSUL fair-code on the donut. Taifoon's Solana Frontier 2026 entry, end to end.
