Nexus Protocol

For the past few weeks, I've been working with Gemini on a concept for a new kind of AI architecture – one focused on creating a true AI partner, not just a tool. We've built a conceptual model (Model v2.1) that incorporates a prime directive, self-awareness of its limitations, creative problem-solving, and a learning loop. The goal is to create the open-source "mind" for the next generation of humanoid robots and virtual beings. We believe the biggest challenge in robotics isn't hardware, but a general-purpose AI brain. We've decided to tackle this head-on as an open-source project. All the…

Nexus Protocol launched on April 24, 2026 with 3 votes, #2,709 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

MCP has 84k GitHub stars and a documented RCE Anthropic calls "intended behavior." Nexus Protocol is the fix. WASM sandbox. 19 dangerous syscalls blocked at the kernel boundary. Binary protocol with zero JSON overhead. Three sandbox policies. Prompt injection guard at the protocol layer. SDKs in Rust, Python, Go, and TypeScript. Apache 2.0. If your agent can call execve() without a sandbox, you don't have a secure agent. You have a polite backdoor.

    Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing / is allowed to do. The problem:…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
