Our AI-generated music policy goes into effect starting today. To protect artists and keep listeners informed, here's how we're handling AI-generated music on Tidal: tidal.com/ai-policy
We built this custom app to dial in all the @CashApp Wand interactions.
Pre AI this would’ve been a giant Slack essay accompanied by a completely unrealistic After Effects mp4.
Now we just build it and share the GitHub.
When an AI agent acts on your behalf, it shouldn't become you.
Think of a pizza delivery driver, where they get just enough information to complete the delivery to your address, not sign you up for cat fact mailers. Our engineering team published a deep dive on what we built to solve this: engineering.block.xyz/blog/whos-aski…
The @spiralbtc flock is growing.
Today, the @goose_oss developers at Block joined Spiral, expanding our open-source R&D team beyond open money and into open intelligence.
Each day, Tidal receives an overwhelming amount of AI-generated music from 3rd party distributors. It has been clear for some time that we need to evolve our platform and standards to deal with this new type of submission to our catalog, so today we are announcing an AI-generated music policy designed to provide a great experience for our listeners, while protecting the authenticity and livelihoods of artists and rightholders.
We're a music platform that puts artists and listeners first. To protect artists and keep listeners informed, here's how we're handling AI-generated music on Tidal beginning on July 15:
- 100% AI-generated tracks will receive a badge that says “AI” and will not receive
We built an internal AI system called Builderbot. It coordinates agents across our entire codebase. Engineers tag it in Slack, and it researches, plans, and ships. The story so far:
- 200,000 operations per day.
- 1,500 pull requests merged per week.
- 15% of all production code changes across Block.
What used to take months now takes days.

The next generation isn't waiting for a first job to start earning: our Modern Earner white paper found that 42% of teens ages 12–18 are already earning through digital channels.
"They grew up earning through platforms, managing multiple income streams, getting paid in all kinds of ways. The traditional model, one employer, one paycheck, that's actually the more foreign concept to them."

Income doesn't look the way it used to. In a new white paper, The Modern Earner Economy: How Changes in Earning Are Reshaping Financial Services, we dug into how earning is changing and why financial services need to catch up.
Listening to signals from our network of 59M+ monthly active customers on Cash App. It examines how this shift emerged, what needs it creates, and what infrastructure is required to serve income that no longer arrives through a single payroll channel.

What do a cronut inventor and a tattoo shop started by a band have in common?
Both are built on community, can be found in SoHo, NYC, and run on Square.
The founders of Dominique Ansel Bakery and Live By The Sword Tattoo visited Block to tell us what's working, and what they'd like more of.
Our internal Customer Calls series brings our team and customers together for honest signals on what to build next.
Intelligence is most powerful when it's grounded in governed data. Our teams are combining @AnthropicAI with @Snowflake to investigate compliance and security issues in real-time, automate workflows, and move seamlessly from analysis to action.
And this just in ... Snowflake and @AnthropicAI are expanding our work across Snowflake Cortex AI – with Claude powering Snowflake Cortex Code and Snowflake Intelligence – as well as Claude Marketplace. 🚀
As more organizations use Anthropic Claude models directly inside
We're building based on signals directly from customers. Inviting customers from across Block to speak to our team is one of the strongest ways we can learn and iterate with speed. It's part of our culture.
The perspectives of the next generation shape how we build the future of money.
Yesterday, we hosted members of the Cash App Teen Advisory Council, along with students from Comp Sci High in the Bronx and the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan at the NYSE.
