What it does

Agent Settlement Extension (ASE) is an economic metadata layer that extends existing A2A and MCP agent communication protocols with financial semantics. It adds standardized structures for cost attribution, delegation, and settlement events, enabling agents to exchange not just tasks, but economic intent. ASE is part of the Caracal project, building the foundation for governed, auditable agent economies.

SCM (Secure Contract Machine) is a containerised runtime that enables AI agents to negotiate security policies, execute constrained actions, and generate cryptographically verifiable audit records for multi-agent coordination. - Garudex-Labs/secure-contract-machine

⚠️ Notice: This project is currently under active thesis research and prototyping. It is not ready for production use . SCM (Secure Contract Machine) is a containerised runtime designed specifically for the era of multi-agent coordination. It provides a secure, deterministic environment that enables AI agents to negotiate security policies, execute constrained actions, and generate cryptographically verifiable audit records. SCM is developed to address a core problem in multi-agent environments: secure coordination under mutual distrust. As AI agents increasingly operate across different organizations and access sensitive systems, they must establish shared operational policies and provide…from github.com

    Hi 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…

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
