Eliza Times

@shawmakesmagic is preparing to launch a new platform with features like AI token generation, custom vanity addresses, token-gated chat, community content creation tools, and bold design.

The team is in the final stages of mainnet testing before launch, working through some last-minute improvements to the trading experience.

@elizaOS announced that their main repository has crossed 1000 issues and 3000 pull requests.

They also highlighted that every contributor has a profile page showcasing activity and focus areas dating back to October. Additionally, they shared news about a PR for powerful new default agents.

@dankvr shared thoughts about a potential tmux template and mentioned voting issues with Gitcoin where submissions appear to go through but don't update the leaderboard scores.

auto.fun has launched with the goal of making crypto fun again by building novel experiences, creating communities, and trading memes.

Their announcement emphasizes fixing what they see as broken in the crypto space.

# Auto.fun Platform Overview Auto.fun is a token launchpad platform developed b...

y the ElizaOS team that allows users to create and trade tokens on Solana. The platform features AI integration capabilities including custom vanity addresses (with tokens ending in "FUN"), token-gated chat, and community content creation tools. It uses Raydium AMM for token creation and trading, with a bonding curve mechanism different from pump.fun. Key features include: - Anti-snipe/bundle features for fairer launches - Ability to import existing tokens - Token-gated community chat - A "fairer than fair" token model allowing project teams to secure up to 50% of tokens pre-listing - Liquidity NFT mechanics that distribute swap fees to token creators - Customizable token addresses with "FUN" suffix

# Launch Technical Issues The Auto.fun launch experienced significant technical...

difficulties due to overwhelming traffic. The site repeatedly went up and down, with users reporting brief access to create tokens before it went offline again. The development team worked continuously (reportedly on a 40+ hour dev call) to address these issues. Major technical problems included: 1. **Server Overload**: The platform had to reconfigure servers due to unexpectedly high traffic, with Cloudflare configuration issues causing instability. 2. **Token Creation Issues**: Users reported transaction timeouts during token creation, with some losing SOL while contracts were still deployed. Some tokens were created but not properly bonded. 3. **Migration Problems**: Many tokens became stuck in "migrating" status for extended periods (12+ hours). The migration process is supposed to be automatic when tokens reach 100% bonding. 4. **Indexing Issues**: Tokens created during the platform launch had indexing issues where they didn't appear in "coins created" sections or show proper liquidity pools. 5. **Trading Interface Problems**: Users were unable to access trading interfaces for their tokens, seeing errors like "Error fetching swap amount from Jupiter." The team temporarily redirected the site to their X (Twitter) account while fixing these issues and established bug reporting channels to track user-reported problems.

# Tokenomics and Platform Economics Auto.fun has a specific economic model that...

connects to the broader ElizaOS ecosystem: - LP fees from auto.fun go to ai16z buybacks - The platform collects 10% of bonded LP fees to buy back $ai16z tokens from the open market - These funds are reinvested in ai16z LP to create deeper ecosystem liquidity - The ai16z token then buys DegenAI, creating a buyback chain - Only ai16z and degenai are official tokens in the ecosystem - The platform uses a bonding curve mechanism with 28 SOL initial virtual reserves - Tokens require 85 SOL (plus the virtual 28) to graduate to Raydium with a 6 SOL fee The team has indicated that a formal article explaining the complete tokenomics will be published soon.

# Future Development Plans The Auto.fun team is actively working on improvement...

s and has several planned developments: 1. **Technical Fixes**: - Resolving token migration issues for stuck tokens - Fixing indexing problems for tokens created at launch - Addressing Jupiter integration errors with price detection - Improving search filters and indexing - Fixing wallet connection issues after social login 2. **Feature Enhancements**: - Implementing better token discovery mechanisms - Adding interactive filters (volume, age, verified, holders) - Creating a formal verification process for tokens - Improving token metadata management for imported tokens - Potentially implementing a community notes system to identify unofficial tokens 3. **Integration with ElizaOS Ecosystem**: - Potential integration of Eliza bots directly into token chats - Connecting token chat with Eliza worlds - Developing AI-to-Solana bridge functionality The team is prioritizing platform stability before making a more formal announcement and releasing comprehensive documentation.

ing on SpartanVersus, an automated trading bot with social media presence. Development updates include: - Upgrading SpartanVersus to v2 - Fixing autonomous trading bugs - Preparing the bot for Discord and Telegram integration - Readying the code for open source release The team has successfully reactivated the bot's Twitter/X account and secured verification (blue checkmark and affiliate badge). There's a planned partnership with auto.fun for cross-promotion. Challenges with the v2 upgrade include maintaining the bot's distinctive "voice" or personality. The development team has indicated that Spartan will have his own tokenomics plan within the Auto.fun ecosystem.

# ElizaOS Technical Issues Separate from Auto.fun, some users reported technica...

l issues with the core ElizaOS platform: 1. **Embedding Errors**: A user experienced a 404 Not Found error when attempting to generate embeddings with Gemini and eliza-starter for Telegram integration. 2. **Event Handling Confusion**: A user investigated how event handling works in Discord and Telegram plugins, discovering that plugin-bootstrap handles the MESSAGE_RECEIVED event but was confused by callbacks being triggered twice. 3. **Installation Problems**: Users reported issues with the ElizaOS starter template showing "Agent not found" errors and difficulties installing the Telegram client plugin. 4. **Social Media Integration**: Some users experienced problems with hidden replies on X despite account verification. These issues highlight ongoing development challenges in the broader ElizaOS ecosystem alongside the Auto.fun launch.

Auto.fun, a new platform for creating and trading tokens on Solana, launched on April 20, 2025.

The platform allows users to create tokens with AI-generated content and provides a bonding curve mechanism for price stability. The launch experienced significant technical issues, with many users reporting problems with token creation, migration, and trading.

The development team, led by shaw (new.moon), jin (dankvr), accelxr, eskender, and Borko, worked continuously for over 40 hours to address the issues.

Many users reported that their tokens were not showing up in their created coins list, couldn't be traded, or were stuck in migration. The team acknowledged these problems and focused on fixing them, particularly for tokens created during the initial launch period.

Auto.fun uses a bonding curve mechanism with 28 SOL initial virtual reserves.

When a coin reaches 113 SOL in reserves (85 SOL + 28 SOL virtual reserve), it automatically graduates to Raydium with a 6 SOL flat fee. LP tokens for graduated coins are locked with a 90/10 token split for creators and Auto.fun respectively.

The platform collects 10% of the bonded LP fees, which will be used to buy back $ai16z from the open market and reinvest in ai16z LP to create deeper ecosystem liquidity.

A more detailed tokenomics article is planned for release soon.

Despite the technical issues, the community showed strong support for the team's efforts.

Users suggested improvements such as better filters for sorting tokens by volume, age, verified status, and holders. The team plans to address these suggestions and focus on fixes before heavily promoting the platform, with a goal to kick off promotion and hype generation on Monday.

Several PR articles about the Auto.fun launch were shared, including pieces from The Block, Cointelegraph, Crypto Briefing, The Defiant, and Blockchain Gamer.

Several improvements have been made to the Eliza codebase and documentation: - ...

Instrumentation was added to the codebase (PR #4261) - Documentation was updated (PR #4281) - A duplicate Dutch README file (README_NL.md) was removed (PR #4321) - Typos were fixed and documentation was improved in the Changelog (PR #4322) - Default Agents based on organization were added (PR #4323)

The crypto market shows price fluctuations for key cryptocurrencies.

WETH (Wrapped Ethereum) has increased from $1,588.73 to $1,613.03, representing a gain of approximately 1.53%. Similarly, SOL (Solana) has risen from $134.04 to $139.81, showing a more significant increase of about 4.31%.

The elizaos/eliza repository showed consistent activity over a two-day period.

From April 19-20, 2025, there was 1 new PR with 4 PRs merged and 12 active contributors working on the project. The following day (April 20-21, 2025) saw an increase in new PRs to 3, though only 1 was merged, and the number of active contributors decreased to 6.
