EVMAuth

EVMAuth is an open protocol to enable secure authorization in a simple, standard way for Web3 apps, APIs, and AI agents. More specifically, EVMAuth is a smart contract written in Solidity that can be deployed to any EVM (e.g. Ethereum, Radius, Base) that extends the ERC-1155 token standard, enabling developers to restrict and sell access to web resources, content, and applications based on token ownership. EVMAuth has a ton of practical applications, such as: • access control • memberships • subscriptions • API credits for metered usage • gamification (achievements, badges, etc.) •…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

EVMAuth is an open protocol to enable secure authorization in a simple, standard way for Web3 apps, APIs, and AI agents. More specifically, EVMAuth is a smart contract written in Solidity that can be deployed to any EVM (e.g. Ethereum, Radius, Base) that extends the ERC-1155 token standard, enabling developers to restrict and sell access to web resources, content, and applications based on token ownership. EVMAuth has a ton of practical applications, such as: • access control • memberships • subscriptions • API credits for metered usage • gamification (achievements, badges, etc.) • pay-per-view media content • event tickets • trial access • gaming assets • software licensing • in-app purchases • certifications • retail rewards • crowd-funding campaign rewards • collectible assets ...and many more. Similar to the x402 protocol recently launched by Coinbase (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43908129), EVMAuth can and should be used in conjunction with the long dormant HTTP 402 "Payment Required" response status code. In addition to the core Solidity contract code, there is also an EVMAuth TypeScript SDK available (https://github.com/evmauth/evmauth-ts), with a working code example using Express v5 and HTTP 402 (https://github.com/evmauth/evmauth-ts/tree/main/examples/exp...) Feedback and contributions are welcome and encouraged!

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
