Today's Key Developments

PR #7197 introduced @elizaos/vault, a cross-platform secrets management system for encrypting sensitive data at rest using OS keychains.

ElizaCloud has been consolidated into the main elizaOS repository to simplify development and maintenance.

PR #7375 migrated the Slack plugin into the monorepo, bringing it in line with other major platform connectors.

A pull request (elizaos/docs#84) was opened on May 8 to integrate SafeAgent, a token safety tool, into the DeFi plugin registry.

Infrastructure hosting was migrated away from Vercel to cheaper container solutions for cost optimization.

Open Questions

What are the specific cloud hosting costs for running Eliza as a Twitter bot and its feasibility on Mac mini hardware?
Why is the elizaos.github.io/summary/day page stuck or failing to generate since May 4th?
What is the status of Hyperfy connectivity for elizaos following the plugin removal?

X News

Twitter/X API is now strictly required for integration; pricing revisions have made it more affordable.

Discord Updates
