On April 10, 2025, Guru Network held its weekly live AMA session, providing significant updates on the platform's development, upcoming features, and ecosystem expansion. The session, led by the CEO Evgeny, offered valuable insights into the current state and future direction of Guru Network.

Guru Network is positioned as a multi-chain web3 automation and compute layer that orchestrates comprehensive web processes across multiple blockchain networks. The platform serves as a framework that merges these processes with AI agents to create a seamless experience for users.

At the core of Guru Network is DexGuru, a fully functional trading terminal launched approximately five years ago. The platform currently supports:

• 18 blockchain chains
• 180 decentralized exchanges (DEXes)
• Over 1.5 million tokens

DexGuru allows users to research tokens and execute trades directly on the platform. The team is continuously enhancing this foundation by adding an analytics framework and making the process repeatable and customizable.

Framework and Ecosystem Development

A key focus of Guru Network is creating a repeatable process that allows anyone to launch their own application with customized:

• Colors and logos
• User interface and experience
• User actions and business processes

This approach enables the expansion of the Guru ecosystem, as all these applications incorporate the Guru economy in some form. The framework is designed to build and strengthen the ecosystem, creating natural demand for the $GURU token.

Marketing and Partnerships

The team had planned a marketing campaign with partners for the week of the AMA but decided to postpone it due to recent market events. These technical partnerships include dedicated sections within DexGuru to showcase the collaborations.

For the following week, the team announced plans to launch the marketing campaign, highlighting how each partner helps provide better services such as:

• AI agent swaps
• Aggregator integrations
• Enhanced DeFi ecosystem exposure
• Agentic interfaces for network partners like SKALE

Technical Developments and MCP Protocol

A significant announcement during the AMA was the planned support for the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which planned to be implemented in April - May 2025. This protocol allows:

• AI agents and GPT clients to communicate with different applications
• Creation of a registry of MCP servers supported by the Guru Framework
• Integration with AI workflows

The MCP protocol support aligns with the current AI agentic narrative in the industry, with other products already supporting this protocol. This development will bring Guru Network to a new level in terms of market offerings, especially with the Flow product that allows designing:

• Agent workflows
• User actions
• Data views and representations

Community Engagement and Rewards

The team is actively working on community engagement through:

• Educational materials being developed and released
• Discord bot integration for leaderboard calculations
• Riddle Hunt for viewers of the AMA with rewards in $GURU tokens

To participate in the Riddle Hunt, users need to:

1. Go to the Guru application
2. Switch to the Actions section
3. Access the GURU section (requires minting a Guru DAO NFT for 400 Guru or completing quests to earn 1,000 tGuru - and mint for free)
4. Claim rewards for watching the AMA video

Developer Incentives and Open Source

In May 2025, after completing the open source release and educational materials, Guru Network plans to start incentivizing developers to work with the framework. The exact mechanism will be proposed to the community for voting and discussion.

The team emphasized the importance of engaging the developer community based on the current state of the framework and its open source release.

Token Utility and Ecosystem Economics

The Guru token is designed to have utility across the ecosystem. When ecosystem projects like Burning Meme or Topi AI spin up their own MCP servers, users pay for requests to access their data and abilities. This creates natural demand for the $GURU token, aligning with the vision outlined in the white paper released a year ago.

The ecosystem projects provide infrastructure as a service, which can be facilitated through the MCP protocol and support within the Guru Network.

Future Plans and Roadmap

The immediate plans for Guru Network include:

1. Release of educational materials
2. Integration of Discord activity into leaderboard calculations
3. Developer community incentives starting in May 2025
4. Continued development of the MCP protocol support

The team's commitment to open source, community engagement, and technical innovation demonstrates a clear vision for creating a robust framework that enables both developers and users to leverage the power of blockchain technology and AI in a seamless, integrated manner.

Stay tuned for more updates as Guru Network continues to build and expand its ecosystem in the coming weeks and months.
