  Shengkun Ye co-founded Monid in San Francisco with Feiyou Guo, after working at Founders Inc, TabaPay and WeChat. OpenRouter gives a developer one account and one key across every AI model; Monid is that for the tools an agent calls rather than the models it thinks with. Its registry lists over 1,700 tools from 55 providers, and an agent asks what is available for a job, picks by fit and price, runs it with no sign-up, and is billed about a tenth of a cent for that one call, out of a single balance. Monid is not new today: it launched in April 2026 and again as 2.0 in May. What this post adds is the raise and the 4 million calls.

  We just killed…everything.

  Introducing Monid, the OpenRouter for agent tools.

  Today we crossed 4M agent transactions. And raised a $2.1M pre-seed to kill every subscription in the world.

  Your agents can now:

  > discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime
  > one connection to 1,800 APIs: SEO, leads, search, ecommerce, stocks, video/image/music/3D gen, private company data
  > all pay per call, 0 subscriptions

  Eldad Fux started Appwrite as a side project in 2019. Appwrite calls itself the open-source cloud for agents and devs; it has 57,000 stars on GitHub and raised a $10 million seed led by Bessemer and Flybridge. The turn in 2.0 is that a platform built on its own abstraction now hands you the engine underneath: native PostgreSQL and MySQL that answer to psql and the mysql client, alongside a schemaless DocumentsDB and a VectorsDB for embeddings. Appwrite's own phrase for it is to give the raw engine when the abstraction is wrong. Every feature goes live on Appwrite Cloud during their Init week, and the self-hosted Community Edition follows when the week ends, with Domains and Firewall staying Cloud-only.

  Shubham Bhatt designs products at Whatfix in Bengaluru, seven years into enterprise and B2B design, at Quizizz and udaan before this. Indian Games is his own: the street games he grew up playing, rebuilt for a screen. Kanche is the first one and it runs in a browser, in two modes. In ring mode you pull the striker back and let go to knock marbles out past the chalk ring; in pit mode you land the striker in the pit to enter, then flick it at the marbles head on. You can play a bot, a friend online, or two of you on the same device.

  Kanche, Anth, Goti, Goli, call them whatever you want but these have been an integral part of our childhood, so thought of bringing each one of them to digital space.

  Presenting "Kanche" by https://indianstreetgames.com

  Play with a bot, or with a friend online or multiplayer in the same system, however you want.

  Please try it out and let me know of the rough edges.
