According to @Celo, SelfProtocol has been announced as a sponsor for the 'Build Agents for the Real World' hackathon. SelfProtocol leverages zero-knowledge (zk) technology to provide proof-of-human and identity verification solutions for the agentic web. This innovative approach allows agents to act on users' behalf without exposing sensitive data, enhancing privacy and trust in decentralized environments.

According to @1HowardWu, access to ALEO has expanded as Kraken has listed ALEO, making onboarding to the Aleo ecosystem easier for its large global community (source: @1HowardWu on X). Kraken stated ALEO is now live on its platform and that ALEO powers Aleo, a Layer 1 blockchain using zero knowledge proofs for private and programmable transactions (source: @krakenfx on X). The listing adds a centralized exchange venue for ALEO exposure on a widely used platform, which the author highlights as meaningful for user onboarding (source: @1HowardWu on X).
