XWorld Easter Egg Quest: Call Your Crew & Crack the Code!

BTC price hits 2-month high amid bet Bitcoin will break $32K ‘soon’ Bitcoin（ $29,691） tapped $30,000 into the Oct. 20 Wall Street open as analysts directed attention to the weekly close. In an optimistic longer-timeframe view, trading team Stockmoney Lizards predicted that resistance immediately above $30,000 would soon crack. Updating a chart fractal comparing BTC/USD in 2023 to its 2020 breakout, analysts argued that the time for significant upside is now. An approval of the United States’ first Bitcoin spot price exchange-traded fund (ETF) would form the clinching factor. “31/32k will break soon,” part of accompanying commentary read. “P.S.: Many of you will once more say: ‘But 2020 was after halving, here we are before’ — answer: doesn’t matter. This year mass adoption / ETF approval will be THE driver.” Ethereum Cofounder Vitalik Buterin Confirms Plans for AI Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has shared new revelations that show a possible integration with artificial intelligence (AI) in the mid- to long term. Responding to community members in an ask-me-anything (AMA) session hosted on the decentralized social protocol Warpcast, Buterin said AI remains one of the thoughts that has filled his mind for the past two weeks. While Vitalik Buterin was not detailed about the specific things he thought about, he said he is considering the ways in which the Ethereum community could productively engage on AI-related issues. Some of the issues he highlighted include X-risk, a concept that showcases how humanity can be harmed on a massive global scale. In recent times, proponents have been citing how possible Blockchain technology can coexist with AI. Drawing on the revolutionary technology underpinning both concepts, a combination of AI and blockchain has been tipped as a futuristic solution to some of the world’s biggest challenges to date. While there are a number of crypto projects exploring AI solutions to date, Buterin’s assertion of the concept lends another perspective, considering the role he plays in the broader digital currency ecosystem. The possible timeline of any potential engagement was not revealed, and from his actions, we might expect a detailed blog post in this regard in the future. ‘Magic: The Gathering’ creator’s crypto game lands on Epic Game Store “Magic: The Gathering” creator Richard Garfield has helped design a blockchain game, and it is launching on the Epic Game Store. The Dungeons & Dragons-style fantasy card game Garfield created became a massive hit, fostering an ecosystem of players who for years actively bought, sold and traded the game’s physical cards. Garfield is now hoping his digital card game “Brawlers” will also capture gamers’ imaginations. The player-vs-player game was co-designed by Garfield and developed by fledgling web3 gaming firm Tyranno Studios, which focuses on creating titles on the WAX blockchain. “Just like traditional physical card games, Brawlers allows people to purchase card sets and use them to play with others, simultaneously retaining full ownership and control over their assets to easily trade or exchange them,” Garfield said in a statement. “This opens up many new opportunities for developers to build successful web3 games with living and breathing economies where each player is a full-fledged participant and avoids all the pitfalls of exploitative microtransactions.” Refik Anadol NFT collab with Brazilian tribe yields $3.9 million in a week Cutting-edge artist Refik Anadol’s latest digital art collection dubbed “Winds of Yawanawa” may be the one lone bright spot in an otherwise dim NFT market. The project, a collection of “data paintings,” has generated $3.9 million (2,493 ether) in sales over the past week, according to OpenSea data. The eruption of interest in Winds of Yawanawa, a collaboration between the Brazilian indigenous community Yawanawa and Anadol, comes amid a broader NFT market downturn that has seen trading volumes plummet by more than 90% since a bull run bolstered by excitement for mostly low-resolution picture-for-profile NFT collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks. One popular NFT watcher took to X to highlight both the success of Winds of Yawanawa and how large of a portion of overall trading the collection accounted for in a day’s worth of trading. “Winds of Yawanawa did 451 ETH of volume on OpenSea yesterday, about 25% of the total ETH volume on OpenSea,” posted @punk9059, director of research at Proof Collective, an organization that supports blockchain-powered art. “What’s striking is partially how much [Winds of Yawanawa] is doing, but also how little else is trading.” Magic Eden’s Tokenized Collections Program Debuts with 100 Physically-Backed Pokémon Cards Last week, the renowned cross-chain NFT platform, Magic Eden, introduced its groundbreaking Tokenized Collections Program in collaboration with Collector Crypt, a pioneer in bringing physical collectibles to the Web3 space. The program’s inaugural drop, featuring 100 graded Pokémon cards, is set to launch today, Wednesday, October 18, exclusively on the Magic Eden Launchpad.

At the end of October 2025, 1X Technologies' humanoid robot Neo swept through the tech world like a heatwave. This sleek robot, backed by OpenAI, is touted as the first truly home-friendly physical assistant. Priced at around $20,000 or $499 per month for leasing, Neo can clean, carry items, and even learn new tasks through imitation. In just a few days, it became the internet's focal point — seemingly, a tireless family companion has finally arrived. Yet, behind the cheers, a profound reflection on "autonomy" quietly unfolds. Remote control offers the illusion of convenience, but it exposes a core pain point in the AI industry: human operators still lurk in the shadows, and what happens to your privacy data? As Curious CEO David Tomasian puts it: "True autonomy is the only way machines can belong to us." An Illusion: The Myth of Humanoid Robot "Autonomy" Neo's launch is indeed exhilarating: standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 66 pounds, it uses tendon-driven actuators mimicking human muscles, wrapped in a soft shell for safety. Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolf exclaimed on X that Neo has "advanced" his timeline for home robot adoption. In demos, Neo waters plants, opens doors, washes clothes, and scrubs dishes, turning mundane chores into something poetic and efficient. But this excitement was quickly doused by reality. The Wall Street Journal's hands-on report reveals that many of Neo's movements are still remotely controlled in real time by "experts" via VR. This isn't sci-fi — it's the current state of AI, where remote piloting aids companies in training models through imitation and reinforcement learning, yet reduces the robot from "independent helper" to "human extension." Tomasian sharply notes that under this model, your "private robot" isn't truly private: it not only observes your life but uploads data to the cloud, fueling the manufacturer's training. When a robot can "see" your home layout, recognize your voice, and analyze your habits — yet remains tethered to the manufacturer's servers — who does it really belong to? From Factory to Home: The Privacy Cost Beneath Autonomy The wave of humanoid robots is flowing from factories to living rooms. Figure AI's Figure 02 and Tesla's Optimus aim to reshape industry, while Neo pushes the vision into consumer territory — not just productivity, but companionship itself. This trend is especially urgent in elderly care. Pilot projects in Japan, Korea, and parts of Europe are testing robots for assisting daily activities, monitoring health, and providing emotional support. But Tomasian points out: "The difference between aid and true care lies in understanding context and emotion." If data isn't encrypted and stored locally, "the robot isn't yours—it's someone else's lens." Privacy expert Kohei Kurihara disclosed on X that Neo users must sign a waiver allowing manufacturers access to certain operational data. This "tech-for-convenience" pact hides cracks in trust. A Medium article bluntly states that this $20,000 robot "needs a human babysitter", with complex tasks requiring an appointment for "expert mode," making users feel like they're renting a "surveilled puppet." Tomasian emphasizes that for embodied intelligence to evolve like language models, three things are essential: on-device reasoning, multimodal understanding, and encrypted autonomy. AI must not just execute commands but comprehend "why" they are given, ensuring data sovereignty belongs to the user. True care reliability stems from security and privacy, not algorithmic complexity. In other words, autonomy isn't just a technical issue — it's a social contract: Machines should embody trust, not extend surveillance. From Embodied to Digital: AI Agents' Lessons on Autonomy Neo's controversy reflects a deeper trend: "Autonomy" isn't confined to mechanical limbs — it's also about digital intelligence. Rather than teaching robots in your living room how to wash dishes, why not have agents on the network learn to "act on your behalf"? AI Agents are the extension of this direction. They're not humanoid replicas but digital extensions of human will — capable of executing tasks, making decisions, and completing transactions on behalf of users, with data ownership retained by the individual. IBM's "2025 AI Agent Report" states that Agentic AI promises an 8x productivity boost, hinging on autonomous reasoning combined with privacy protection. Google Cloud research shows 52% of enterprises using generative AI have deployed AI Agents. Deloitte predicts half of companies will enable Agentic AI by 2027. Gartner forecasts that within four years, agents will autonomously handle 15% of daily decisions. This shift redefines "autonomy": no longer machines mimicking human limbs, but agents learning to represent human intent. XWorld: A Real-World Experiment in "Machines Belonging to People" Amid this trend, the XWorld platform's explorations stand out. Since its 2023 launch, it has built a self-sustaining "agent economy" by combining AI training with token incentives: users can create, deploy, and monetize their own AI Agents. The integration of stablecoins makes settlements lower-friction, ensuring value flows under user control. Today, XWorld boasts over 11 million downloads and 1 million monthly actives in its Telegram MiniApp ecosystem, with cumulative token trading volume exceeding $34.7 million. Here, autonomy is no illusion — it's a reality co-built by users, developers, and agents: machines not only execute instructions but become "intelligence we own." Epilogue: Who Truly Owns the Machines? Neo reminds us: when "autonomy" becomes a selling point, oversight and trust must evolve in tandem. The future shown by the AI Agent industry offers another possibility: Machines are no longer just used, but truly "owned"; They no longer serve the network, but human will and data sovereignty. XWorld's experiment may provide the answer: when "agent autonomy" merges with "user ownership," machines finally begin to belong to us. In the future, when robots no longer need human eyes, that may be humanity's true liberation. 🔗 Learn more and join XWorld Website | Whitepaper | Twitter | Telegram | Youtube | Linktree
