ElizaOS is executing a major plugin-architecture transition toward dynamic plugin loading (v2 targeted for April) alongside a 0.25.6-alpha.1 pre-release, while users report build/dependency issues and recurring embedding-dimension and Twitter-auth problems. On the business/community side, a new COO addressed partner concerns, reiterating that the launchpad and launchpad tokenomics are ~95% complete and pending market conditions for release.

Today's Key Developments

A new v0.25.6-alpha.1 pre-release was announced as available in the main branch.
ElizaOS removed plugin imports from the agent and deleted all monorepo plugins to support a new dynamic plugin loading system (PRs #3346 and #3342).
ElizaOS added support for the Anthropic provider (PR #3364).
Discord partners were told the launchpad is ~95% complete and the launchpad tokenomics are ~95% complete.
Project leadership stated the team has approximately one year of runway plus revenue from Eliza Studios.
Open Questions
  • Will the first Block Tank show coincide with tokenomics news, liquidity news, or news about an L1?
  • Is there a way to see how many tokens are launched using ElizaOS?
  • Is there a way to have the agent running 24/7 even when my laptop turns off?
  • How can we get setup to make agents available to speak on Twitter Spaces?
  • Can I run Eliza with GPT-3.5?

Strategic Insights

Strategic Insights

Plugin ecosystem decoupling and operational load shift
The deletion of monorepo plugins and the move to a separate elizaos-plugins organization increases the importance of tooling (registry/CLI) and documentation to keep third-party plugin adoption stable during the v2 transition.
Key Questions:
  • Should a formal migration guide and compatibility matrix be prioritized ahead of the April v2 target?
  • What minimum set of “core” plugins/adapters should be guaranteed as first-party maintained?
Trust and verifiability for execution-capable agents
TEE integration discussions are centered on verifiable agent execution for trading, aligning with community concerns about safely increasing agent funding and ensuring reproducible execution.
Key Questions:
  • Which execution paths (trading, posting, on-chain actions) should require verifiable execution first?
  • What developer-facing APIs are needed to make TEE usage practical without increasing setup friction?

Summary

On Feb 7, 2025, the ElizaOS project significantly advanced its core framework by transitioning from pnpm to Bun for enhanced performance and implementing a generic model loading system with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Key dependency and build issues were resolved, improving compatibility and stability across the system. The team also expanded integration capabilities by supporting the Anthropic provider.

🚨 Needs Attention

  • Blocked Issues/PRs:
  • - Missing `cors` and `multer` dependencies in `@elizaos/agent` are causing build issues, requiring immediate attention to resolve (elizaos/eliza#3365). - The `pnpm run dev --characters` command is not loading specified characters, defaulting to Eliza, which impacts character-specific development and testing (elizaos/eliza#3362). - The UI fails to load correctly when starting the service with a specific character file, hindering development and user experience (elizaos/eliza#3360).

    ✅ Completed Work

    Core Framework Enhancements & Performance

  • Replaced pnpm with Bun to improve performance and enable future enhancements (elizaos/eliza#2852).
  • Cleaned up the codebase for better maintainability (elizaos/eliza#3116).
  • Resolved a merge conflict to maintain code integrity (elizaos/eliza#3367).
  • Model Integration & Compatibility

  • Implemented a generic model loading system with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, simplifying provider setup (elizaos/eliza#3114).
  • Added support for the Anthropic provider, expanding integration capabilities (elizaos/eliza#3364).
  • Added `adapter-sqlite` to dependencies to ensure it loads as the default adapter when no other plugins are present (elizaos/eliza#3357).
  • Fixed build issues in core to target Node 23, enhancing compatibility (elizaos/eliza#3371).
  • 🐞 Issue Triage

    New Issues

  • elizaos/eliza:
  • - Missing `cors` and `multer` dependencies in the `@elizaos/agent` package, causing build issues (elizaos/eliza#3365). - The command `pnpm run dev --characters` does not load the specified character, defaulting to the Eliza character instead (elizaos/eliza#3362). - UI fails to load correctly when starting the service with a specific character file (elizaos/eliza#3360).

    Closed Issues

  • elizaos/eliza:
- Resolved a build failure issue from a recent release, ensuring the system compiles correctly (elizaos/eliza#3322).

Full Stories

DankVR shares information about Hyperfy.io, describing it as a web-based platform using technologies like ThreeJS, WebGL, and GLTF.

They highlight Hyperfy's new .hyp file format for bundling apps with models and scripts, comparing it to smart GLBs or Unity prefabs. DankVR also mentions that Eliza agents can be dragged and dropped into Hyperfy for interactive experiences.

X/Twitter

Shaw discusses updates to the Eliza project, including migrating to a plugin registry that allows developers to register plugins via CLI instead of PRing into Eliza core.

Shaw also mentions moving characters to their own repository and switching to Bun. Shaw notes they'll be focusing on coding for v2 over the next couple months and won't be attending events, though other contributors will be available for speaking engagements including at Consensus Hong Kong.

X/Twitter

DankVR shares thoughts on community building, noting that financial gatekeeping (token-gated channels) often leads to less activity, while merit-based gatekeeping (skill-based membership) results in more activity but less coordination.

They suggest finding a balance between both approaches.

X/Twitter

Both DankVR and Shaw make humorous comments about crypto applications, with Shaw...

joking about "Digital horse racing except the horses die when they run out of tokens" and DankVR responding to another user with "bottle royale."

X/Twitter

Several improvements have been made to the Eliza project recently.

The build system was fixed to properly target Node.js 23 (PR #3371), and CLI build and initialization commands were repaired (PR #3378). Character loading functionality was enhanced by fixing yargs slice issues (PR #3374) and adding support for loading character paths from the repository root (PR #3375).

GitHub

The project has undergone significant refactoring, including a general cleanup (PR #3116) and a refactoring of the generation code to follow a handler pattern (PR #3376).

Package management has been improved by replacing pnpm with Bun (PR #2852).

GitHub

Provider support has been expanded with the addition of Anthropic (PR #3364) and implementation of generic model loading for OpenAI-compatible endpoints (PR #3114).

The adapter-sqlite package was also added to dependencies (PR #3357). A merge conflict was resolved in PR #3367.

GitHub

Several users have reported UI and loading issues with the Eliza platform.

Issue #3360 reports that the UI doesn't appear to load properly, while issue #3362 indicates that the command 'pnpm dev --characters' fails to load characters as expected. Additionally, issue #3385 describes an agent getting stuck on startup in Docker/Cloud environments with version 0.25.6-alpha.1.

GitHub

There are multiple dependency and package-related issues.

Issue #3365 reports missing dependencies (cors and multer) in the @elizaos/agent package. Issue #3380 describes problems using the plugin-evm, and issue #3387 highlights confusion in the quick start documentation because eliza-starter is a different repository than the main eliza project.

GitHub

Twitter integration is experiencing several issues.

Issue #3353 identifies a placeholder mismatch and image description format problem in the Twitter search template. Issue #3384 reports that Twitter actions are not processing correctly, and issue #3383 suggests enhancements to the Twitter AI agent's human-like behavior and engagement efficiency.

GitHub

A feature request has been submitted in issue #3356, proposing the creation of an Eliza CLI where plugins are opt-in only, similar to the approach used by Shadcn.

GitHub
Story 1

Several new features and improvements have been proposed to the elizaOS/eliza repository through recent pull requests.

These include updates to deepseek (PR #3127), the addition of a TradingView provider (PR #3372), and bounty detail features (PR #3361).

GitHub
Story 2

Integration efforts continue with the Nillion frontend integration (PR #3391) and task storage implementation (PR #3377), both contributed by Okulon.
