Samsung is not just a financial investor – it's a compute supply chain player (38% global DRAM, 21% HBM, projected first HBM4 supplier to Nvidia) positioning itself as both supplier and customer in Mistral's European compute sovereignty buildout.

Commerce
As peaqOS machines begin hiring AI agents, the industry must decide if Virtuals' commerce protocol is a structural breakthrough or just another exercise in signaling.

Agents at Work
The autonomous software engineer has evolved into a $26B full-lifecycle platform – writing code, finding vulnerabilities, running production systems. But the babysitting tax of managing AI that confidently does the wrong thing is the hidden cost nobody's counting.

The bonding curve, inference fees, and buyback-burn form a three-layer revenue stack that's either bootstrapping real agent utility or just a sophisticated casino with better plumbing.
