During this development cycle, we focused on strengthening Sofia's core mechanics and finalizing several key systems. The main effort went into improving discovery logic, intention classification, and social linking, while stabilizing authentication and agent infrastructure.
This period was less about visible features and more about ensuring reliability, coherence, and long-term scalability across the product.
This week was dedicated to core infrastructure migration, authentication hardening, and on-chain verification foundations. We completed the migration of the extension authentication system to Privy, removing internal session wallets in favor of a secure external HTTPS flow. In parallel, the stack was fully migrated from ElizaOS to Mastra, improving modularity, performance, and agent orchestration while simplifying networking through an HTTP-based architecture. OAuth flows were secured via an external landing page backed by Cloudflare Workers, and the first version of our on-chain Proof of Human attestation system was implemented with gas abstraction for users.
This week focused on core foundational deliveries, including connecting the MCP Server to our agent and deploying the full Privy authentication flow for the Chrome extension. We also finalized the staking modal (with bonding curve options), optimized transactions using Sofia’s fee proxy, extended the Trust / Distrust system, and improved data integrity and UX reliability across triples creation and display.These features are not yet available to the public and will be pushed to production for alpha V2.
This week, we achieved a major milestone by deploying the Sofia Fee Proxy Contract on Intuition Mainnet, enabling Sofia to collect transaction fees while maintaining full protocol compatibility. We enhanced user features with improved SignalTab functionality, image support for triples, and better transaction feedback. Multiple bug fixes improved the stability of the orb visualization, chat, activity feed, and follow system.
This week, we successfully completed a major Curve System Upgrade, separating support (Curve 1) from financial investment (Curve 2) and implementing new logic for triples creation, including automatic deposit for existing signals. We introduced the dedicated Shares Modal and dynamic success messaging, alongside key social features like extended activity tracking, on-chain Follow functionality, and ENS resolution. Furthermore, we completed the full deployment of our Gaianet node, enabling the Qwen 2.5 14B model to seamlessly power our 5Agent within a secure TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) on Phala Cloud. We also finalized a stable, end-to-end data pipeline supporting our AI agent ecosystem. Lastly, the Intuition grant application was successfully completed.
This week has been focused on measuring and preparing for our Alpha launch.
First of all, we apologize for being quiet over the past two weeks — we've been working hard on deploying Sofia on Phala, migrating to Intuition's mainnet, and setting up the GaiaNet node hosting. During this time, we've made significant progress across infrastructure, features, and user experience. Sofia is now running on mainnet with secure hosting, and we're testing with real users to prepare for broader Alpha release.
This week was filled with significant progress across multiple fronts — from UI/UX refinements and feature implementations to infrastructure milestones and team methodology improvements. We're also navigating some technical challenges that are teaching us valuable lessons about building complex systems.
On the product side, we've fixed numerous UI/UX issues and made substantial improvements to the Account page, including real quest functionality and enhanced user data display.
On the infrastructure front, we achieved a major milestone by deploying our first TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) machine on Phala Network. We're incredibly proud to be among the first teams to leverage Phala as part of the partnership between Intuition and Phala — a testament to our commitment to decentralized, verifiable computation.
Beyond code, we've been evolving how we work together. We've started integrating Agile methodology into our workflow and adopted the Core Protocols to improve team communication and decision-making. This shift is already helping us work more effectively and collaboratively.
However, we're also facing challenges. Since last Sunday, we've been wrestling with a critical session ID issue for our agents — it's consuming significant development time and delaying our alpha launch for beta testers. While it's frustrating not to move as fast as we'd hoped, we're making steady progress and remain committed to getting it right.
We've also begun working on Sofia's documentation — there's still a lot to write, but we're excited to make it available soon to help users and developers better understand and contribute to the project.
The journey continues with its ups and downs, but every challenge brings us closer to a more robust, trustworthy Sofia.
This week we completed managed hosting, opened the first round of public testing, and introduced several key improvements to the Trust system and account experience.
On the infrastructure side, Sofia’s environment is now fully managed and Alpha-ready — a critical milestone toward stability and scalability. This new setup allows us to continuously monitor multi-agent configurations with ease, ensuring smoother testing and faster iteration cycles.
From a design perspective, this week brought a major UI and UX update to the Account page. Profiles now include Follow and Trust actions, detailed metrics, and a new Level Progress design that visualizes your growth and engagement over time. The homepage also introduces the new “Trust this site” component — enabling anyone to trust a webpage instantly, and view which triples and atoms are present on it.
We’ve also refreshed several core components — including the Amplify and Connect Wallet buttons — to make the interface more cohesive across the entire extension.
The new “Trust this site” component marks an important evolution in how Sofia connects browsing and trust. Directly from the homepage, users can now trust any webpage on the fly, without leaving their navigation flow. The component also reveals which triples and atoms are present on the page, allowing users to see the underlying semantic structure behind what they’re trusting. This feature bridges the gap between exploration and validation — turning every visit into an opportunity to expand the web of trusted knowledge.
Altogether, these updates bring Sofia closer to a dynamic, user-driven ecosystem where trust, identity, and discovery seamlessly converge. The foundation is stronger than ever — and with user testing now open, we’re ready to take the next leap toward Sofia’s public Beta.
This week marked a major milestone for Sofia: our first public demo at Intuition's X Space, alongside significant improvements across recommendation intelligence, UI/UX redesign, and community expansion.
On the AI front, we integrated Ollama to power our recommendation engine, delivering smarter, context-aware suggestions. The Resonance page now provides high-quality website recommendations, transforming how users discover relevant content based on their on-chain activity.
On the design side, we completely revamped the website's UI/UX and refined the extension interface to align with our visual identity. We also improved the orb animation on the homepage, creating a more polished and engaging landing experience.
Most importantly, we presented Sofia publicly for the first time during Intuition's community stream. The feedback was incredibly positive, and seeing real users interact with Sofia was both rewarding and inspiring. We also launched our Discord server and opened the early access program to contributors, building momentum toward a vibrant, collaborative ecosystem.
Together, these updates represent a turning point: Sofia is evolving from an internal project into a public-facing product with a growing community behind it.
