New Chain, Same mission: What it means to build on Hedera

We didn’t pivot. We expanded.

This week, we’re excited to share: Sentism is officially one of the first 4 AI x DeFi projects selected by Thrive Protocol for milestone-based funding from Hedera’s $HBAR Foundation.

That’s right — we’re building on Hedera.

Not as a side bet. As part of the mission.

Why Hedera? (And Why Now?)

Let’s be honest: it wasn’t the obvious choice at first. Most agent infra today lives on EVM chains, because that’s where DeFi users and liquidity sit. But Hedera brought us something different and important:

• ✅ Performance without hype: blazing-fast finality and low fees
• ✅ Enterprise-grade compliance tooling: a must for future RWA agents
• ✅ A builder-aligned ecosystem: not just TVL-maxi, but milestone-driven
• ✅ Real-world use cases: from payments to asset tokenization

We realized: if Sentism is going to enable autonomous agents at the core of DeFi, RWA, and SocialFi… we need to meet users where the infrastructure actually scales.

What We're Building on Hedera

We’re not porting the exact same stack. We’re rebuilding the core agent loop to feel native to Hedera.

That means:

• Real Utility for $HBAR: Used to power agent interactions, on-chain tasks, and incentive mechanisms
• Retail-First UX: Telegram MiniApp offers 1-tap agent strategy execution for creators, traders, and DeFi users with no setup needed

Real Agent Execution: Agents like Pitch Lily already operate live on Hedera Mainnet, triggering smart, autonomous actions

Pitch Now

We’re not just testing use cases, we’re deploying real agents, on real infrastructure, for real users.

Milestones, Not Promises

What makes the Thrive Protocol program different is simple: you don’t get paid to announce, you get paid to ship.

And we love that. It keeps us focused on real progress.

We’ve already deployed our first agent (Pitch Lily) on both testnet and mainnet — triggering real on-chain tasks, powered by $HBAR. But this is just the beginning.

Next milestones:

• Agent-initiated transactions: deploying fully autonomous flows on Hedera mainnet
• MiniApp trading on Hedera: bringing our Telegram UX to the Hedera community
• Advanced agent prototypes: including RWA Risk Scanners, Gamefi, and Yield Hunters
• Ecosystem support: collaborating with other Hedera DeFi and RWA builders to co-deploy use cases

This isn’t about porting a feature set — it’s about proving that AI agents can create, trigger, and manage real economic activity in a new ecosystem.

And we’ll share every part of it not in pitch decks, but in code, visuals, and public deployments.

One Stack, Many Chains

Our long-term vision is clear: Sentism is the AI Agent Layer for Web3. That means:

• BNB Chain for speed, culture, and DeFi retail adoption
• Hedera for enterprise-grade DeFi, compliance, and real-world finance
• More chains coming soon — as long as they align with our mission

We’re not here to “multi-chain” for headlines. We’re here to build where the next billion users will actually onboard.

TL;DR

• Sentism is now funded by Thrive Hedera $HBAR Fund
• We’re building native agent infrastructure on Hedera
• Everything milestone-based, public, and real

Same mission. New chain. Let’s go.

Join us. Deploy an agent. Shape the future.
