Beta is excited to present the future direction of the project today, and the timing couldn’t have been better. With Bitcoin surpassing $100,000 for the very first time, there are now a wealth of new people using crypto today compared to before. Combined with the progress of AI, the importance of crypto is more apparent than ever before, and new opportunities are unlocked. The team has grown to capture the new opportunity, while continuing to grow the existing products under the Beta umbrella, leading us to present our two main focuses:

1. Grow Omni into the lending protocol with the widest support of assets on the newest chains

2. AI Agent Marketplace on Solana

Now, to dive deeper into what each of these means for development.

Omni and Permissionless will continue to be fully functional for our users. Omni allows the widest support of collateral assets, with over 40 markets supported across Arbitrum, BNBChain, and Ethereum. Omni is the only protocol that enables users to directly choose which assets they wish to lend to based on their risk profile, and you can even use your PEPE to borrow on Omni! Permissionless will continue to exist in it’s current form and be available for users to permissionlessly create markets. Initially, Beta has been planning to expand Omni onto Unichain, and integrating with a new partner, Pyth, to support oracle prices on Unichain. Unichain is the new EVM L2 from the Uniswap team that will also host Uniswap V4, and from discussions with the team behind Unichain it looks very exciting for new possibilities for Omni. However, due to the delays with Unichain’s launch and the uncertainty around the exact date of the launch of both Unichain and Uniswap V4, Beta has made the decision to first expand onto Base with the growing popularity and integrations with Coinbase.

We are excited to bring Omni onto Base in end of Q1 or early Q2 of 2025 as the next destination for Omni, unlocking more asset possibilities and highlighting the power of Omni to a new wave of users. See below for the full roadmap for 2025 broken down by each quarter.

AI agents will become one of the most consequential products of our time. Agents will be able to perform tasks independently, without the need for human input, as if they were a person themself. More and more previously mundane tasks that required humans will be replaced by AI agents that will be able to perform the work fully. Customer service AI agents will be able to resolve customers questions and problems immediately and perform all the necessary steps—no longer will you have to hear the elevator music and connect with multiple people to get your problem resolved. AI travel agents will be able to converse, recommend, and book your next vacation for you. While these use cases for AI agents have begun to be explored outside of crypto, there is still a lack of exploration for AI agents within crypto, and this is where we are excited.

Crypto provides a unique avenue for AI agents to exist and thrive, where AI agents are able to fully access and own crypto to transact. We see the crossover between memes and AI agents to be especially powerful in crypto. Memes are a core component of crypto culture, and are some of the most actively transacted tokens today. We ask ourselves the question, what if these memes were able to come to life? Memes serve as iconic internet culture, and AI is able to make memes more dynamic and interactive. There could be a Pepe AI Agent behind the Pepe meme to reply guy the best Pepe memes. The Doge meme could have a conversation with Elon Musk about Dogecoin. Imagine the Dogecoin AI agent starting a fundraiser for homeless dogs in Japan. We want to enable memes through AI agents.

There is no better chain than Solana when it comes to the ecosystem of memes. With products like pump.fun, Moonshot, and more there is greater activity for memecoin creation and trading on Solana compared to any other blockchain. Solana has cheap fees, fast execution, and a strong community of developers and users that are focused on building great products. The social layer and network effects of Solana provide a strong foundation for the existence and success of memecoins, and we see Solana as the best environment for memetic AI agents.

• Whitepaper for AI Agent Marketplace on Solana

  • The whitepaper will include technical details, features, and architecture of the AI Agent Marketplace on Solana

• Deployment of Omni on Base

• AI Agent Beta Phase

  • The beta phase will be more extensive exploration of AI agents after solidifying the direction in the alpha phase, with a preview for external users to interact with

• Development of Marketplace for AI Agents

  • This will be focused on the app interface development for the marketplace for AI agents

• Expansion of asset listings and asset support on Omni to support over 50+ assets

• Development and launch of Marketplace for AI Agents on Solana

  • There will be a continuation of development for the app interface for the marketplace for AI agents throughout Q3

• AI Agents Release Phase

  • The AI agents will now become public, and users are able to interact with the AI agents

• Expansion of Omni onto Unichain + Integration of Pyth for Omni

• Scale up infrastructure for AI agents to handle permissionless launches of AI agents

• Further improve Marketplace and introduce development SDK for interacting with AI agents directly through code

  • The APIs used to interact with AI agents will be exposed externally for other developers to plug into and build on top of
