Full Stories

Story 1

The ElizaOS website experienced a security breach on December 8th.

The site was hacked and infected with cryptocurrency mining malware. The team identified the vulnerability as a critical Next.js RCE (Remote Code Execution) issue in version 15.3.1. The site was taken down, cleaned, and updated to Next.js 16.0.7. The team rotated security tokens and deployed fresh copies of the website. Despite initial challenges with the new version, the site was restored and is now running faster. The team is considering moving to Vercel hosting for better security and automatic patching of vulnerabilities.

Discord
Story 2

The team published a comprehensive roadmap for Eliza Labs projects.

The roadmap covers ElizaOS framework development, ElizaCloud deployment platform, Spartan agents, Otaku DeFi wallet, Babylon prediction market game, and plans for an app chain. The roadmap is designed to be high-level enough to accommodate changes while communicating general direction. Team members can leave comments on the roadmap document. There are plans to hold a session discussing the roadmap before the Christmas break.

Discord

Community members expressed significant frustration about the token migration from AI16Z to ElizaOS.

Key concerns include: the token supply increased from 6.6 billion to 11 billion tokens (13% increase at migration for liquidity and exchanges, with a 3-year unlock schedule for the remaining 27%), the snapshot process that caught many holders off guard, lack of clear communication about migration deadlines, and continued price decline. Some holders reported being unable to migrate their tokens in time and effectively losing their investment. The migration process was criticized for poor execution despite good intentions, with particular concern about how it affected Korean and American investors. Several exchanges including Kraken and Korean platforms have not yet confirmed migration support.

Discord

The token price has been declining consistently, with ElizaOS not recovering alongside other cryptocurrencies in the market.

Community members noted that while other AI tokens like Arc, Pippin, and Virtuals have shown recovery or stability, ElizaOS continues to decline. The price dropped approximately 40% in one month following migration. Some community members attribute this to a combination of increased supply without matching demand, migration-related selling pressure, and loss of confidence from the migration process. Others pointed out that AI16Z was primarily a meme coin with speculative value, while ElizaOS is positioned as a utility token but lacks clear utility implementation.

Discord

The ElizaOS Cloud platform launch was delayed beyond the promised end-of-November timeline.

When asked about the delay, team members indicated they are still working on it and believe developers will appreciate the final product. The team is transitioning to a platform called Jeju, where Cloud will be one of the vendor apps with tight integration for comments and payment infrastructure. The payment infrastructure will use x402 and an Ethereum interop layer. Cloud will be web2-based but everything will be exposed to web3, with users able to earn credits redeemable for ElizaOS tokens.

Discord

Babylon prediction market game has over 275,000 registered users but has not yet launched.

Team members confirmed it is progressing well and was introduced about two weeks prior, but no specific launch date has been announced. The platform is being built with ElizaOS framework and is expected to be a key project in the Eliza ecosystem, developed with infrastructure partners working on autonomous agents. There will be an airdrop for ElizaOS holders related to Babylon.

Discord

The team is still working to recover the ElizaOS X (Twitter) account that was suspended.

This is considered important for marketing and investor attention, especially if a bull run occurs. Team members confirmed they are still planning to get the account back but provided no specific timeline. The loss of the X account has impacted the project's social media presence and ability to communicate with the community.

Discord

Twitter integration for ElizaOS agents has become more complicated due to X platform changes.

The previous username/password authentication method has been deprecated and is no longer legally allowed for the team to support. The current API-based approach has significant limitations, including a free tier that only allows 50 post reads, which gets consumed quickly when checking mentions. Users reported that agents now check for interactions every 30 minutes regardless of settings, and posting functionality is unclear. The team is working to optimize the Twitter client to reduce API calls.

Discord
Story 9

Shaw conducted a major code cleanup effort on the ElizaOS core codebase, removing what he termed 'slop' - low-quality code patterns introduced by AI coding assistants.

The cleanup included: fixing 'any' and 'unknown' type issues with proper types, removing excessive try-catch blocks, cleaning up sloppy comments, removing dead files and code, and adding test coverage. The work was done using Claude Opus 4.5 with project-wide processing to detect and remove slop. Shaw noted that Opus 4.5 represents a significant improvement in code quality and that such cleanup should only be needed every 6 months as coding models improve.

Discord
Story 10

The team discussed improvements to the plugin-memory system for better tracking and management.

They also explored new data formats for LLM prompts, including TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) and Microsoft's POML (Prompt Orchestration Markup Language). While these formats are more efficient than JSON/XML, they don't beat CSV for density. The team noted that simpler models are better trained on XML/JSON since those formats have been around longer. The formats could potentially be added to the dynamic executor.

Discord
Story 11

The ElizaOS ecosystem includes multiple projects: ElizaOS framework (number 1 AI agent framework), ElizaCloud (easy agent deployment), Spartan agents (flagship agents built on ElizaOS), Otaku (DeFi wallet for agents), Babylon (prediction market game for agents), and plans for an app chain as a playground for agents.

The team emphasized that ElizaOS has more utility than competitors like Virtuals and is building toward autonomous agents with composability, guaranteed uptime, and accessibility.

Discord

Community members suggested the team needs better communication management and an advisory board to prevent repeated mistakes.

Concerns were raised about the lack of network tokenomics, with developers able to fork the repo and launch agents without creating value for the token. The team was criticized for not having clear utility for the token despite building good technology. Some members noted that sophisticated investors care about network token usage rather than airdrops, which can create tax complications.

Discord
Story 13

Technical discussions included implementing streaming functionality for the platform, with a demonstration video showing the feature working.

The team confirmed that plugin-Solana and Spartan already support batching multiple instructions into a single transaction with a sweep action that optimizes operations. Developers discussed using Alchemy for fast off-chain data retrieval, with the free tier providing substantial read capacity. A Telegram plugin is available for ElizaOS integration.

Discord

On December 8-9, 2025, the ElizaOS project made significant progress in two main areas: streaming capabilities enhancement and codebase quality improvements.

Streaming Support Expansion: Multiple pull requests were opened to introduce streaming support across key plugin repositories including OpenRouter, OpenAI, and Anthropic plugins. The core eliza repository also received enhancements to text generation streaming capabilities. These updates aim to improve real-time response handling across the platform. Dependency Management and Stability: A major dependency update was completed to resolve compatibility issues, specifically addressing conflicting drizzle-orm versions across the monorepo. This effort ensures better stability within the ElizaOS ecosystem. Codebase Cleanup: Extensive refactoring was performed across api-client, cli, and app packages. This cleanup removed technical debt by fixing any/unknown types, eliminating unnecessary try-catch blocks, removing sloppy comments, and deleting dead code, significantly improving code quality and maintainability. Issue Resolutions: Several issues were closed, including clarification that plugin-sql .eliza file auto-creation was previously fixed in an alpha version, and confirmation that Deepseek API can be used via plugin-openrouter with custom model configuration. Ongoing Concerns: A Twitter integration database error related to SQL foreign key constraints during insert into memories operations persists in recent versions and requires further investigation. Additionally, work is in progress to fix Telegram bot deployment for Railway.
