1. Market Status

This week, the market has cooled down. The popularity of AI in the crypto space has dropped to an annual low, with the total market capitalization of AI tokens decreasing by 2% to $21.5 billion, and the robotics sector falling by 9% to $1.05 billion.

With the official launch of the Monad mainnet, market attention has shifted to zero-knowledge proofs and the EVM track. Meanwhile, with the release of Gemini 3.0 and Grok's daily active users surpassing 10 million, the usage of general artificial intelligence has reached an all-time high.

After being listed on Binance, KITE surged by 21% due to the AI agent economy boom and new capital inflow.

$ONO ended its consolidation phase with a strong breakout due to a surge in DePIN network revenue and miner holdings, achieving a daily increase of 75%.

Token Launches

  • $REPPO launched with a supply of 1 billion and an initial circulation of 16.5%
  • $SSS launched with a supply of 1 billion and a circulation of 15.2%

Event Preview

Almanak: Strategy Builder v1 will launch on November 29

2. Chart Perspective

Gensyn testnet transaction volume surpasses 500,000

A chart that makes you want to look again.

The Gensyn public testnet processed over 500,000 transactions in a single day, continuously rising from about 350,000 in less than a week. The total transaction volume has now exceeded 84 million, serving over 155,000 users.

Most of this comes from early machine learning applications:

  • RL Swarm tests distributed reinforcement learning (with over 33,000 connected nodes)
  • BlockAssist captures behavioral data from interactive environments (with over 1 million trained models)
  • CodeAssist tests editing and reasoning functions in programming tasks (with over 55,000 problem-solving instances)

Currently, most of the usage still comes from Gensyn's native applications. The real test will be how active external developers can be once the network is fully open.

Earlier this week, the testnet did experience RPC issues, causing some nodes to disconnect and go offline; however, the blockchain itself continued to run and could be fixed with a simple restart.

3. Project Analysis

CodecFlow: Replacing Scripts with "Operators"

A few months ago, I came across CodecFlow, which is an execution layer for AI agents and robots. Its core uses the "Optr" (i.e., Operators) model, allowing developers to apply the same set of automation logic to desktop computers or robotic arms without rewriting code.

How It Works

  • Operators are small AI agents that continuously monitor the screen or robot camera for dynamics, analyze the information they see, and execute the next steps. This process loops continuously.
  • Each Operator runs on an independent microcomputer, transmitting video streams to the AI system and receiving back commands for clicks, keystrokes, or robotic arm movements.
  • Training Operators essentially involves demonstrating the task flow to them. After just a couple of manual operations, the system can learn from the demonstration. Once Operators master the skills, they can be released for others to use.

Considerations

The operation of Operators relies on consistent behavior across different machines. Since real robots and actual environments do not always maintain uniform performance, unexpected situations can arise quickly.

Codec has also developed the Fabric architecture, which can quickly deploy machines running Operators and seamlessly migrate tasks between the cloud, local computers, and real robots without interruption. Its core advantage lies in the fact that each agent operates in an independent, secure, isolated environment, ensuring that the task execution process is not disturbed.
