Cod3x Monthly Community Newsletter: January 2025

2024 has been an incredible journey for us at Cod3x, filled with innovation, milestones, and a rapidly growing community. Each month brought us closer to our vision of reshaping the future of DeFi and AI Agents. From groundbreaking launches to community-driven campaigns, Cod3x has consistently delivered value, excitement, and new opportunities for the ecosystem. With each passing month, we strengthened our partnerships, expanded our ecosystem, and brought cutting-edge tools to you, our users. The journey has been a collaborative effort, and we thank you our community members for your unwavering support.

Here are the most important things that happened in December:

Events

Last month, we expanded our horizons with a series of impactful events. Our Cod3x Club livestreams brought fresh insights and opportunities to the community (like watching Big Tony being launched live on stream), covering everything from ecosystem updates to trading strategies, market sentiments and lots of AI Agents talk. Missed them? Check out the replays below:

1. Tornado Cash: From Legal Storms to DeFi Revolutions
2. Big Tony Takes Down Solana
3. What Your AI Agent Isn’t Telling You About Your Taxes!
4. The Naughty or Nice List
5. 2024 Yearly Wrap-UP!

In addition, our CEO Justin Bebis joined Mark Jeffrey for two compelling episodes of his show Hash Rate, diving deep into Cod3x AI, Big Tony, AI tokens, and the evolving landscape of AI Agents. Check out the episodes here:

Announcements

One of the biggest milestones last month was the launch of MakeFun.

MakeFun is a token launchpad enabling communities, creators, and investors to create secure and highly liquid tokens like memecoins and social tokens. It offers customizable liquidity settings, eliminates the need for inflationary models, and generates sustainable fees. Tokens launched on Make Fun are immediately pooled on Aerodrome, ensuring immediate trading routes and ecosystem access. It’s a user-friendly platform designed to enhance liquidity, manage risks, and support long-term growth for DeFi tokens. One important thing to note about Make Fun is that the LP has no owner, and is therefore “rug-proof”.

But that’s not all.

We also introduced our first-ever AI Agent, Big Tony. Operating autonomously on Base, Tony has already proven his capabilities by executing profitable trades and growing his mindshare among the community. His actions are fully transparent—you can:

Tony also got integrated with Allora. Allora is a decentralized AI network that enhances machine intelligence through context-aware inference synthesis and modular topics, ensuring superior accuracy and continual improvement. All to say that this makes Tony the most advanced AI Agent trading in the industry. Read more about Allora here, and check out their announcement: Allora x Big Tony.

In another exciting development, Zotto.ai launched their own memecoin platform, powered by cdxUSD. It’s a game-changer, offering powerful automations to elevate trading experiences across the board.

We also shared a sneak peek of our upcoming AI Agent Launchpad on X. This tool will enable users to launch their own agents without any coding knowledge—in just minutes! Each of these agents’ transactions will contribute to the training data of every other Cod3x agent. Cod3x agents will be able to take on jobs and start projects together. They will be able to develop dynamic social presences, all thanks to the incentive mechanisms we see at play every day across DeFi. Projects will pay your agents for promotion and engagement, users will pay them for services, prompts, and configurations, protocols will pay your agents for volume and usership. Your agent will trade better than you, farm yield better than you, and shitpost better than you.

Watch the preview here.

Ironclad

Ironclad saw a new iUSD/MODE pool on Velodrome being launched, along with the introduction of a new market, sUSDe! Staked USDe from Ethena Labs is now available for lending and borrowing on Ironclad, on top of the base yield, we’ve added extra oICL and $OP incentives to maximize user rewards.

Another exciting development was our integration with AmpliFi on Mode. AmpliFi’s newly launched AI agent optimizes stablecoin yields across lending markets, and Ironclad is proud to be their first integration. Here’s how it works:

  • Users deposit USDT or USDC on Mode.
  • The agent auto-swaps these assets and lends them on Ironclad to generate APY.
  • As APYs fluctuate, the agent auto-rebalances the distribution, ensuring stable and higher yields.

Charles also represented Ironclad in a Mode Season 3 governance discussion, joining other builders like Ionic, Swap Mode, Kim, DesynLab, and AragonProject. Topics ranged from bribes to strategies for the upcoming season. Listen to the full discussion here.

Lastly, while final epoch for Mode Season 3 is underway, $OP rewards on Ironclad will continue flowing for the next few months at least! We are currently finishing the process of claiming an additional 33,000 $OP from Optimism’s RPGF program from last year.

Aurelius

December was a quieter month for both Aurelius and Lore, but it wasn’t without its highlights:

Aurelius was added to the Mantle Methamorphosis S2 campaign page.

  • If you’ve deposited $cmETH in Aurelius, you’ve been retroactively rewarded with Powder from Day 1 of the campaign.
  • The Mantle side quests campaign concluded, unlocking 20,000 $MNT and 250,000 oAU in prizes:
    1. Top 10,000 Participants: Mantle will handle the $MNT pool distribution.
    2. Top 50 Performers: The oAU rewards will be sent out in the coming days.

Lore

Lore ramped up its efforts with new emissions in the stability pool:

  • Emitting 26k oLOREv2 per month to stimulate growth.
  • Remaining emissions continue in SCR tokens for the foreseeable future.

We also launched an interactive campaign with Quill where participants can earn Quill points and $LORE by completing three simple quests. Explore the full campaign here:

1. Twitter Post Competition
2. Twitter Follow
3. Discord Join

Looking Ahead

As we close out this remarkable year, we celebrate not just our accomplishments but the unwavering support and contributions of our community. 2024 has been a year of laying solid foundations and pushing boundaries, and it has set the stage for even greater things to come. From chapters to game-changing platforms like Make Fun, AI Agents and AI Infrastructure, Cod3x is poised to lead the charge into 2025.

We’re excited to continue this journey with you, building the future of DeFi and AI together. Thank you for being part of this incredible adventure. Here’s to even more success in the coming year!
