SharkAuth

Auth infrastructure for the agentic era

SharkAuth launched on May 4, 2026 with 4 votes, #2,419 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Most auth providers were built for users and apps, not autonomous agents. SharkAuth is an open-source Auth server for agent delegation: DPoP-bound agent access, revocable may_act grants, delegation chains, cascade revocation, grant_id audit trails, SQLite by default, and one self-hosted Go binary.

A vault of encrypted service connections. Scoped permissions. Signed tokens. Full audit trail. One ~29 MB Go binary. Open source. Self-host forever.

    Hi HN — I’m a heavy OpenClaw user and, like many others, I’ve been thinking about how to give these new “unleashed” agents secure access to my accounts. Agents need API access to be useful. But API keys are long-lived secrets. And agents are not secure environments. So I built something for myself that quickly turned into a product: keychains.dev. The idea is simple: agents never see raw credentials. With Keychains.dev: • Agents make API calls via a drop-in replacement for curl or JavaScript’s fetch() • They use template variable names instead of embedding credentials • The request is…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
