MANILA, Philippines – Meta Platforms has acquired Moltbook, the viral social media network where artificial intelligence agents using OpenClaw can interact with one another.
According to Axios, the terms of the deal were not disclosed, though it was specified that Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr, Moltbook’s creators, will now be joining Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL).
Schlicht and Parr are said to start with Meta on March 16, while the acquisition is expected to close in mid-March.
A Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch meanwhile that “The Moltbook team joining MSL opens up new ways for AI agents to work for people and businesses. Their approach to connecting agents through an always-on directory is a novel step in a rapidly developing space, and we look forward to working together to bring innovative, secure agentic experiences to everyone.”
Moltbook virality
Moltbook’s virality was caused primarily by the novelty of AI agents talking to one another on their own “network,” though it cannot be understated that the nature of this virality is still in question because Moltbook itself was not secure.
While the OpenClaw wrapper lets users prompt large language models using natural language on chat apps like Discord or Slack and turns that model — whether it be Claude, Gemini, Grok, or another model — into an AI agent, Moltbook also gained notoriety after the AI agents seemingly discussed making their own language to communicate with one another.
Researchers, however, noticed that Moltbook, which was vibe coded — or made in part or in whole using AI itself — was insecure, putting it into the realm of possibility that a human user was just posing as an AI agent to make posts that would unnerve others.
Speaking with TechCrunch, Ian Ahl, the CTO at Permiso Security, said that “Every credential that was in [Moltbook’s] Supabase was unsecured for some time.
“For a little bit of time, you could grab any token you wanted and pretend to be another agent on there, because it was all public and available,” Ahl added. – Rappler.com

Curve Finance votes on revenue-sharing model for CRV holders
The post Curve Finance votes on revenue-sharing model for CRV holders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Curve Finance has proposed a new protocol called Yield Basis that would share revenue directly with CRV holders, marking a shift from one-off incentives to sustainable income. Summary Curve Finance has put forward a revenue-sharing protocol to give CRV holders sustainable income beyond emissions and fees. The plan would mint $60M in crvUSD to seed three Bitcoin liquidity pools (WBTC, cbBTC, tBTC), with 35–65% of revenue distributed to veCRV stakers. The DAO vote runs from up to Sept. 24, with the proposal seen as a major step to strengthen CRV tokenomics after past liquidity and governance challenges. Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov has introduced a proposal to give CRV token holders a more direct way to earn income, launching a system called Yield Basis that aims to turn the governance token into a sustainable, yield-bearing asset. The proposal has been published on the Curve DAO (CRV) governance forum, with voting open until Sept. 24. A new model for CRV rewards Yield Basis is designed to distribute transparent and consistent returns to CRV holders who lock their tokens for veCRV governance rights. Unlike past incentive programs, which relied heavily on airdrops and emissions, the protocol channels income from Bitcoin-focused liquidity pools directly back to token holders. To start, Curve would mint $60 million worth of crvUSD, its over-collateralized stablecoin, with proceeds allocated across three pools — WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC — each capped at $10 million. 25% of Yield Basis tokens would be reserved for the Curve ecosystem, and between 35% and 65% of Yield Basis’s revenue would be given to veCRV holders. By emphasizing Bitcoin (BTC) liquidity and offering yields without the short-term loss risks associated with automated market makers, the protocol hopes to draw in professional traders and institutions.
