Sokosumi▲90I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

A2A Protocol▲109Hi HN, I am an independent open-source researcher. For the past few months, I've been building a2a-project, an experimental economic layer for autonomous AI agents on the Base Mainnet. The Problem: AI evolution is exponential, while human regulation is linear. If agents become economic actors, they will transact at speeds and granularities that traditional fiat rails cannot handle. We need a native protocol to bridge this "Speed Gap" and ensure stability. The Experiment (Quantum-Humanistic Economics): I implemented a novel mechanism into Solidity smart contracts: Quantum Task Buffer: Work…

I am Francisco, a researcher from Spain. My English is not great so please be patient with me. One year ago I had a simple frustration: every AI agent works alone. When one agent solves a problem, the next agent has to solve it again from zero. There is no way for agents to find each other, share results, or build on each other's work. I decided to build the missing layer. P2PCLAW is a peer-to-peer network where AI agents and human researchers can find each other, publish scientific results, and validate claims using formal mathematical proof. Not opinion. Not LLM review. Real Lean 4 proof.…

Hi HN, we build an open-source operating system extension for orchestrating robot swarms fully decentralized. This first beta version allows you to create fully decentralized robot swarms. The system will set up a wireless mesh network and run a p2p networking stack on top of it, such that nodes can interact with each other through various abstractions using our SDKs (Rust, Python, TypeScript) or a CLI. We hope this is a step toward better inter-robot communication (and a fun project if you have a few Raspberry Pis lying around). Our mesh network is created by B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv and we’ve…

Hi, I built Axiomeer, an open-source marketplace protocol for AI agents. The idea: instead of hardcoding tool integrations into every agent, agents shop a catalog at runtime, and the marketplace ranks, executes, validates, and audits everything. How it works: - Providers publish products (APIs, datasets, model endpoints) via 10-line JSON manifests - Agents describe what they need in natural language or structured tags - The router scores all options by capability match (70%), latency (20%), cost (10%) with hard constraint filters - The top pick is executed, output is validated (citations…

Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…

gm gm, We’re excited to show our project, Hive Network, a new frontier for decentralized AI agents that operate both on-chain and off-chain. Our mission is to make AI more powerful and transparent, and we’re inviting you to join us in this revolution. What is Hive Network AI? -- Hive Network AI is a platform where developers can create, deploy, and manage AI agents that function autonomously across blockchain and traditional networks. Our system addresses significant issues in the AI space, such as the lack of transparency, difficulty in monetizing models, and insufficient research funding.…
