Anthropic said on 13 October that it had moved its main code repository off git and onto Scion, a version control system it built in-house. Merges grew from about 2,500 a day in May to more than 30,000 a day in September, and git-based tooling became its biggest development bottleneck.

Anthropic wrote on its engineering blog that seven people built Scion, a code review tool called Antique, and related systems, with Claude writing most of the code. Anthropic said CI and research jobs now check out code in seconds rather than minutes since the switch to Scion.

Scion is designed for very large monorepos, not as a general replacement for git, Anthropic said. The main branch's history alone is almost 100GB.

Ripple and Privy, the wallet company Stripe owns, said on 13 October that developers can build XRP Ledger wallets into their own apps. Users can send XRP, the RLUSD stablecoin and other assets without setting up a separate crypto wallet.

The wallets can also be run by software, so AI agents can hold funds and pay for data and services. A dashboard called the XRPL AI Hub, run by the firm t54, counts 14.3 million agent payments across 169 merchants, CoinDesk reported. RippleX engineering head J. Ayo Akinyele put agent payments at about 25% of ledger activity.

Those payments add up to little money: about 6,991 XRP and 12,752 RLUSD in total, according to the hub.

Block has added 'Earn bitcoin back with Square Credit Card' to its public bitcoin roadmap, promising 3% back in bitcoin on eligible purchases. Block marks the item In Progress, meaning it isn't live yet. Bitcoin news outlets reported the entry on 13 October.

Block has published no terms, launch date or press release, and hasn't said which purchases count. The card currently pays 3% cash back on Square Bill Pay and 1.5% on everything else, BtcMedia reported.
