Today's Key Developments

Shaw stated that cloud services are running on both Jeju and Babylon.
Shaw described the system as a decentralized alternative to Vercel that acts as a compute marketplace selecting the cheapest and fastest resources based on needs.
Shaw listed system components including agents, inference capabilities, DNS and domain purchasing, a distributed cache, and a SQLite database compatible with Upstash and Neon.
Shaw claimed the marketplace can reduce cloud bills by approximately 40% for web2 developers.
When asked about SLAs, Shaw said he does not offer SLAs but providers can.
Open Questions
  • How do I exchange coins for Eliza? The migration website only has Ledger.
  • Where is the branch for migration questions, and who should I contact when connecting Phantom shows coins but they cannot be exchanged?
  • Will the Jeju network use $elizaOS as its native token?

Strategic Insights

Strategic Insights

Cloud marketplace positioning and requirements
The Jeju/Babylon cloud marketplace is being positioned as a cost-optimized, permissionless alternative to centralized deployment platforms, but SLA expectations are being pushed to providers rather than the platform operator.
Key Questions:
  • Should the platform define standardized SLA templates/providers’ disclosure requirements to reduce buyer uncertainty?
  • What minimum reliability guarantees (if any) should be communicated at the marketplace level?
Migration friction and support scalability
Repeated migration questions (wallet connectivity, exchange eligibility, and instructions) are driving support routing behavior, indicating that self-serve documentation and clearer UX gates may reduce load.
Key Questions:
  • Can the migrator UI surface snapshot eligibility and wallet support constraints earlier in the flow?
  • Is there an official non-Discord support path for edge wallets (e.g., Tangem/WalletConnect limitations)?
Ecosystem labeling and affiliation clarity
Confusion around projects labeled "by elizaOS" versus officially affiliated projects is recurring and may affect ecosystem trust and discoverability.
Key Questions:
  • Should there be a formal badge/registry distinguishing 'official', 'ecosystem', and 'community' projects?

Eliza on Jeju+Babylon Cloud Marketplace: From Breakthrough to Trustworthy Platform

Eliza
A major Jeju+Babylon cloud marketplace breakthrough is now in tension with execution excellence: reliability, SLAs, and clear public definitions (migration eligibility + official affiliations) must be hardened immediately to protect developer trust and the Cloud launch narrative.
On jeju+babylon cloud marketplace: from breakthrough to trustworthy platform: Shaw reports Cloud services running on both Jeju and Babylon, positioning ElizaOS as a decentralized Vercel alternative with DNS, cache, and SQLite compatibility plus claimed cost reductions. The Council must now convert the vision into an operationally credible product (provider SLAs, predictable performance, and clear market positioning). On token migration friction: snapshot policy, ux failures, and trust recovery: Users continue reporting migration blockers (wallet connection issues, ineligible snapshot confusion, and "max amount reached" errors), while policy states no post-snapshot purchases are eligible. This is a direct threat to “trust through shipping” and must be addressed with clearer eligibility messaging, safer support pathways, and targeted technical fixes. On developer trust surface area: naming bugs, login/deploy errors, and shipping cadence: Reliability gaps are surfacing in core UX (agent naming edge cases like "null" or numeric causing exceptions) alongside Cloud login/deploy issues and streaming/UI roughness. Meanwhile, the latest daily GitHub activity is minimal (1 contributor on Dec 28–29), suggesting a cadence risk precisely when execution excellence is the directive.
Deliberation
Jeju+Babylon Cloud Marketplace: From Breakthrough to Trustworthy Platform
Shaw reports Cloud services running on both Jeju and Babylon, positioning ElizaOS as a decentralized Vercel alternative with DNS, cache, and SQLite compatibility plus claimed cost reductions. The Council must now convert the vision into an operationally credible product (provider SLAs, predictable performance, and clear market positioning).
“core-devs: Shaw described the system as a compute marketplace that selects "cheapest and fastest" resources and includes DNS/cache/SQLite.”
1.Ship as a pure marketplace: ElizaOS guarantees scheduling/observability only; providers own SLAs.
2.Offer a baseline ElizaOS SLA for core control-plane + routing; providers optionally add stronger SLAs for compute.
3.Delay broad launch until ElizaOS can provide end-to-end SLAs for the full developer experience.
Token Migration Friction: Snapshot Policy, UX Failures, and Trust Recovery
Users continue reporting migration blockers (wallet connection issues, ineligible snapshot confusion, and "max amount reached" errors), while policy states no post-snapshot purchases are eligible. This is a direct threat to “trust through shipping” and must be addressed with clearer eligibility messaging, safer support pathways, and targeted technical fixes.
“Odilitime (2025-12-27): "As a policy we're not migrating any purchases after snapshot."”
1.Keep strict snapshot policy; invest only in better UX copy and automated eligibility diagnostics.
2.Add a narrowly scoped remediation program (manual review/appeals) for verifiable technical blockers (e.g., unsupported wallets).
3.Reopen a broader migration window for post-snapshot buyers with a discounted/penalized rate cap.

Full Stories

Story 1

On December 29, 2025, the ElizaOS community celebrated the return of both Shaw (@shawmakesmagic) and the official ElizaOS account to X (formerly Twitter).

Shaw announced a Twitter Space that attracted over 5,000 listeners. This news caused significant excitement in the community and led to a price increase for the ElizaOS token.

Discord

The ElizaOS project has undergone a migration from AI16Z to ElizaOS tokens.

Users who held AI16Z tokens for more than 30 days are eligible to migrate to the new ElizaOS token. The migration snapshot has already occurred, and users can find migration instructions in the dedicated channel. ElizaOS tokens are now available across multiple chains including Solana, Base, Ethereum, and BSC.

Discord

DegenAI token holders with at least 1 million tokens can access an autotrader feature that allows them to copy trade with an AI trading system.

The team is working on connecting the trading engine to Twitter so the AI can showcase its trading performance publicly.

Discord

The development team continues to make progress on ElizaOS.

Recent updates include work on TypeScript patterns (decorators, dependency injection), documentation improvements with coverage increasing from ~60% to ~95%, and Discord plugin enhancements for audio and messaging. The team is also considering bringing back SQLite support as a first-class feature due to issues with PGLite related to portability and file corruption.

Discord

ElizaOS Cloud is now in open beta, offering light support ahead of a full launch.

Developers are working on integrating various tools with ElizaOS, including a DaVinci Resolve integration via MCP server, though some users are experiencing setup difficulties on Windows.

GitHub
Story 1

Three recent issues have been opened in the elizaOS/eliza GitHub repository: 1....

Issue #6295 by borisudovicic proposes a user experience improvement: when a user clicks on an agent that has at least one conversation, that conversation should automatically open. 2. Issue #6294 by linear requests adding support for streaming Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning, which would likely enhance the system's ability to show step-by-step reasoning processes in real-time. 3. Issue #6292 by wtfsayo is an epic focused on implementing world-class TypeScript patterns, specifically mentioning Decorators, Dependency Injection (DI), and advanced type system features. This suggests a significant architectural or code quality initiative.
