Addressing community rumors that Aptos will shut down its blockchain within the next six months, Aptos Labs co-founder and CEO Avery Ching publicly dismissed the claim as "a foolish rumor". The X account that originally shared the unsubstantiated claim did not provide official Aptos announcements, governance proposals, or other supporting documents. When pressed for evidence, the account stated the content was merely "hearsay" and urged caution in taking it seriously. Aptos’ current public governance records still show network upgrade proposals and executed mainnet feature updates, with no official plans to shut down the mainnet identified so far.

Pump.fun co-founder Alon addressed the platform’s $15 million Callout rewards program in a post, noting that the initiative launched two months ago, but its initial mechanism inadvertently incentivized improper behavior—spurring low-quality spam and discouraging users from creating high-quality content. Pump.fun has since adjusted its reward algorithm to prioritize quality over quantity: the more Callouts a user posts daily, the lower their marginal returns. The mechanism is evolving in the right direction through iterations, but significant work remains to sustain consistent high-quality content creation among a large user base. The rewards have been distributed to both top accounts and those with fewer than 10 followers, with no favoritism or preferential treatment. Alon advised users to focus on recommending high-quality tokens, building trust with traders via their content, and earning rewards based on trading volume attributed to their Callouts. He emphasized that spamming Callouts or dumping tokens on followers will not work.

Grayscale Research Head Zach Pandl wrote that the AI crypto sector rose 54% in September, significantly outperforming the overall crypto market’s 24% gain. Even after this rally, the sector’s market capitalization remains only around $15 billion, making it the smallest among the six crypto segments categorized by Grayscale. Among the sector’s representative tokens: NEAR surged 183% in September, Venice (VVV) rose 70%, World (WLD) gained 47%, and Bittensor (TAO) increased 37%. These projects respectively cover agent-based commerce, privacy AI applications, human identity verification, and an open AI network spanning inference, agents, data, and computing. Grayscale believes public blockchains can provide open infrastructure for agent payments, identity, privacy computing, and verifiable records, complementing the current AI development ecosystem concentrated in a handful of companies. The AI crypto sector may see one or more major winners emerge over the next five years, and recent performance indicates investors are starting to price in blockchain’s infrastructure role in the emerging agent economy.
