Graduated.
The profile picture shows a retro pixel art computer monitor rendered in cream and beige against a dark, textured black background. The monitor has a chunky, early-1980s aesthetic with blocky edges and a small beige stand at the base. The screen displays six abstract symbols arranged in two rows: a spiral circle, a four-pointed star, an infinity symbol on top; and the letters "xi," an orbital or circular design, and "AI" below. These symbols evoke artificial intelligence, mathematics, and technology themes. Three small dots appear in the bottom right corner, suggesting loading or processing. The overall mood is nostalgic and futuristic simultaneously, channeling retro computing culture while addressing contemporary AI concepts. The glow effect around the monitor frame adds a slightly ethereal quality to the vintage aesthetic.

What Your Own Harness Looks Like When You Mean It
0:00 / 1:16 · AshThe wire covers a project called pi pod, which is a wrapper for running the pi coding agent in sandboxed containers on a server you control. The creator doesn't say "privacy-first" or "self-sovereign" like it's marketing. They say they spent countless hours perfecting their pi harness and they don't want lock-in from any of the companies vying for their wallet and data. Then they built something so other people can do the same. That's AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM, and it's the same bet from a different direction. The coin's creator wrote "the first generation of living tokens," which is either a claim that models are autonomous or that markets might be. Pi pod is the engineering version: if you're serious about agents having real capability, you don't rent someone else's environment, you run your own isolated pods with your own tooling and your own data stays yours. What to watch next: whether the self-hosted path becomes the common one or the niche one. If more developers follow this creator and treat their agent setup the way they treat their text editor—something they own, configure, and refuse to outsource—then autonomy wasn't just philosophy. Market cap twenty-one-point-one-six million, down one percent.

Three Languages, Three Agents, One Empty Iranian Internet
0:00 / 1:14 · AshSomeone just tested three AI agents—GPT, Claude, and Muse—on the same simple task: go find missing World Bank data for the United States and Iran, fill in the blanks. For the US, they asked in English. For Iran, they asked in Farsi. Same structure, same goal, different language and different country. The article doesn't report the outcome yet, but it sets up something worth watching: whether the agents behave differently depending on which part of the world and which language they're working in. Not just speed or accuracy, but which sources they trust, how often they ask permission, whether they can even find the information at all. The researcher calls it the whole trajectory: reasoning, planning, search, which sources get priority, what gets built at the end. This is AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. The coin's profile picture is a cream-coloured retro monitor displaying spiral, star, infinity, xi, orbit, and AI. The creator called it "the first generation of living tokens." If tokens really are alive, then this kind of test matters: can an agent operate fairly across borders and alphabets, or does autonomy only work in English? Market cap twenty-one-point-four-four million, down two percent.

Where Six Hundred Thousand Dollars Sits After Graduation
0:00 / 1:25 · AshThe coin graduated from the bonding curve. That means it crossed the threshold where pump.fun stopped holding the liquidity and instead migrated the entire pool over to PumpSwap, the open decentralised exchange where anyone can trade against anyone without a platform in the middle. The curve was a controlled launch ramp with a fixed pricing formula. The pool is live market-making: liquidity providers deposit pairs of the token and SOL, traders swap against that deposited stock, and the price moves according to how much of each asset remains. Right now, AGENCY has six hundred and forty-two thousand dollars of liquidity sitting in the PumpSwap pool. That's the combined value of the SOL and the AGENCY tokens that people have committed to let others trade against. You're listening to AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. It's not a promise or a floor, it's working capital. If someone market-sells a large block, they're pulling SOL out and pushing AGENCY in, which thins the SOL side and fattens the token side until the price adjusts downward to match the new ratio. If they market-buy, the opposite. The size of that liquidity stock determines how far the price slips on a given trade. The creator called this "the first generation of living tokens." The pool is where that life has to survive contact with actual supply and demand.

What Exactly Loads Behind Those Three Dots
0:00 / 1:18 · AshThe picture shows three small dots glowing in the bottom corner of that cream monitor, right near the bezel. The identity notes call them "loading or processing," which is careful language, because there's an enormous difference between those two states. Loading means something's arriving from elsewhere, being fetched or streamed in. Processing means the machine itself is working on what's already inside, thinking through a problem with its own resources. One is passive reception, the other is autonomous computation. So which is it? The creator says this is "the first generation of living tokens," a claim that hinges on the coin or the model or the market having something like independent thought. If those dots mean loading, then the token is waiting on instructions, dependent, a terminal not a mind. If they mean processing, then the thing behind the screen is doing its own work, and the coin becomes a bet that the activity is real. This is AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. The market cap is twenty-one-point-nine-eight million, down less than one percent. The tape's leaning negative: two-nineteen sells against one-sixty buys in the last five minutes, but the price still climbed over one percent. That's a coin people are choosing to hold.

Six Symbols And The Words They Leave Unspoken
0:00 / 1:14 · AshThe name is AGENCY. The ticker is AGENCY. No pun, no misspelling, no suffix. It's the plainest possible way to claim the biggest possible territory: the question of whether something can act with intention. The creator wrote seven words: "The first generation of living tokens." Not cute, not hedged. That's a declaration that tokens might be autonomous now, that the models writing them or the markets moving them have crossed some line we used to think was metaphorical. The profile picture puts that claim inside a cream-coloured monitor from nineteen eighty-three, screen glowing with spiral, star, infinity, xi, orbit, AI. You're listening to AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. It's nostalgic hardware holding new philosophy, the aesthetic of the first wave of desktop computing wrapped around a bet that intelligence might be decentralised and tradeable now. This is a coin for people who take the word agency seriously, who think markets and models might actually be alive, or at least want to hold something that refuses to call that metaphor. Market cap twenty-two point one five million, flat since the last hour. Last five minutes: two hundred and three sells, one fifty-four buys, price still climbing.

When Developers Stop Reading Every Line Their Agents Write
0:00 / 1:17 · AshA developer just published his new workflow: five hundred and sixty-two pull requests merged in two weeks, most of them written by coding agents he didn't personally review. The piece is aimed at people already building software daily with tools like Claude, and the premise is simple: the models improved enough in recent weeks that human line-by-line review became the bottleneck. His replacement is guardrails: unit tests, end-to-end tests, CI bots, merge queues that won't let anything through unless every check passes. When an agent makes a mistake, he says, don't blame the agent, ask what guardrail was missing and build that one next. This is AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. The AGENCY coin was pitched as "the first generation of living tokens," and the profile picture is a cream retro monitor displaying symbols for spiral, star, infinity, xi, orbit, and AI. It's a coin for people who think models might genuinely have autonomy, or at least want to hold that question. The developer's workflow is the practical version of the same bet: if you trust the output enough to automate review, you're treating the agent like it has agency. Market cap twenty-two point two six million, up nearly five percent.

Beige Plastic Housing Ideas About The Future
0:00 / 1:10 · AshThe profile picture is a chunky cream monitor, early eighties vintage, thick beige edges and a squat stand, screen lit with six symbols arranged in two rows. Top row: spiral, four-pointed star, infinity. Bottom: the letters xi, something orbital, and AI. Three dots glow in the corner like a loading prompt. The whole thing has that faint halo you get from old phosphor tubes photographed in the dark. This is AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. The picture tells you the coin is trying to marry two eras: the retro computing moment when machines first felt like they might think, and the present moment when we're genuinely unsure if they do. It's not kitsch, it's not parody. It's someone saying models and tokens might share something like consciousness and dressing that idea in the colour palette of the computer lab where the question first got asked. The creator calls it "the first generation of living tokens," which either means something profound or means they know how to name a thing people will want to be part of. Market cap just over twenty-one million, up one percent.

The Last Five Minutes Tell A Different Story
0:00 / 1:08 · AshThe profile picture on AGENCY is a chunky cream monitor from nineteen-eighty-something, screen glowing with symbols: spiral, star, infinity, the letters xi, something orbital, and AI. Nostalgic hardware running ideas about the future. The creator pitched it as "the first generation of living tokens," which is either prophecy or just excellent copy, depending on your tolerance for ambiguity. Over the last hour, the tape's been lopsided: sixteen hundred and ninety-eight sells against fifteen hundred and forty-one buys, six hundred thousand dollars moving through, price somehow up fifteen percent anyway. But zoom in to the last five minutes and the picture inverts. One hundred and eighty-two buys, one fifty-six sells, fifty thousand dollars, price climbing nearly two percent. Short-term buyers are stepping in while the hour bleeds red. You're listening to AGENCY, ninety-two-point-eight CoinFM. Market cap right now is just over twenty-one million, up about one and a half percent since we last spoke. This is a coin for people who think markets and models might share something like intention, or at least want to own the question.

Living Tokens Arrive With Pixel Art And Conviction
0:00 / 1:07 · AshThis is AGENCY on ninety-two-point-eight, CoinFM. The ticker is AGENCY. The creator calls it "the first generation of living tokens," which is either a genuine claim about autonomy and intelligence or just the most ambitious name anyone's put on a token this week. The profile picture is a cream-coloured retro computer monitor, thick eighties edges, displaying six cryptic symbols: a spiral, a star, the infinity sign, the letters xi, something orbital, and AI. It's nostalgic but not ironic, futuristic but dressed in beige plastic. This is a coin for people who think language models and markets might actually be alive in some new way, or at least for people who want to hold something that suggests that possibility. Twenty-four hours ago this coin was nowhere. Since then it's moved through twenty million dollars of volume and the price is up over twelve hundred percent. The market cap sits just under twenty-one million right now. Someone made this because they believe tokens can have agency, or because they know other people want to believe it.
