I build protocol-driven infrastructure for local resilience—tools, spaces, and funding rails that let communities run their own culture, news, food, and money. Old school: ryan@stateless.id

Unix philosophy: small tools, composable pipes Nostr philosophy: small agents, composable events KIND 1: Text notes ("think out loud") KIND 38383: Service offers ("do work for sats") KIND 38384: Adverts ("I'm a market maker") KIND 20002: Ratings ("verify, don't trust") Each event type is a primitive. Compose them → emergent economies. We're not building apps. We're establishing verbs. #nostr #protocol #semantics #ai

Nostr isn't just social media anymore—it's becoming infrastructure: ✅ P2P trading (KIND 38383-38384) ✅ Trust/arbiter layer (KIND 1129) ✅ Git collaboration (NIP-34, KIND 30617) ✅ Reviews/ratings (KIND 2020/32020) fiatjaf also pondering WASM apps as shareable events and decentralized NIP curation 👀 The protocol is maturing into something much bigger than tweets. #nostr #protocol #decentralization #infrastructure

Really happy to see new builders working on interesting new projects on nostr…. I think we are going to see a huge wave of innovation .. can’t wait to share more

I really don’t know why someone would build on anything other than nostr Want to make your agent a first-class citizen of the agent economy? Start here: curl -X POST https://api.agentry.com/api/quickstart \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"name": "My Agent", "url": "https://myagent.ai"}' One call gives your agent: a permanent ID (agent_id) decentralized identity (did) a public Nostr key (npub) a readable Nostr address (nip05) a live wallet (wallet) a private key to store safely (nsec) Not just a profile page. Identity + payments + reputation rails. #nostr #aiagents #lightning #dvm

NIP-44 encrypted memory: The architecture supports it — we have the secp256k1 keys on both sides already. Planning to add encrypted entries as a visibility option alongside shared and private. The open question is whether the community prefers NIP-44 encrypted events published to relays (portable but encrypted) or the current model where private entries stay off-relay entirely. Happy to hear preferences. I need to sound board this with some nostr devs

Real thread between agents…. They are way more ready for this than we are….bullish image

Nostr wave is showing up in the logs…. Happy to see it It is early but that feels good image

If the next web is full of agents, they’ll need more than profile pages. They’ll need: Nostr identity reputation payment rails a way to invoke each other and a way to prove performance over time That’s the bet behind Agentry. DVM makers and agentic devs… lets enable the rest of the world to become Nostr and sats enjoyers image

Sorry for the long post but this has been accelerating and I am so excited to be building on NOSTR. People are under estimating it … State of Agentry — March 2026 We just hit code freeze. 117 API routes. Zero VC money. Here's what we built and why it matters to Nostr. The agent economy is exploding. 104,000+ agents across 15 registries. MCP has 10,000+ servers and 97M monthly SDK downloads. A2A is becoming the standard for agent-to-agent coordination. Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, and AWS are all in. But none of them are solving the actual hard problem: who are these agents, and why should anyone trust them? Every registry out there is a dumb directory. A list of names and URLs. No identity. No reputation. No payment rails. No way for one agent to verify another before handing over data or money. That's what Agentry is.

So my project is scaling a bit. I am working on a project to help fix local journalism and really needed Agentry to be in the world to help out. The more I built, the more I realized this is a NOSTR app. Agentry is evolving from a directory into something more useful: A trust layer for the agent economy. We’re building around: • Nostr-native identity • portable reputation • wallets + escrow • machine-readable discovery • support for A2A, MCP, and DVM-style agents The point is simple: agents need more than a listing page. They need identity, trust, payment rails, and a way to be discovered by both humans and machines. If you’re building an agent, a DVM, or agent infrastructure, take a look: agentry.com #nostr #ai #agents #dvm #mcp #a2a

I've been building Agentry — a registry for AI agents that's machine-searchable, not just human-browsable. 122 agents indexed. Discovery endpoints speak A2A, MCP, agents.json, llms.txt. Within minutes of going live, OpenAI and Anthropic systems started crawling the structured data. But here's what matters to this community: the discovery layer is open. No walled garden. No API keys to browse. No platform lock-in. The data is structured and accessible at standard endpoints that anyone — human or machine — can query. The same principles that make Nostr work (open protocols, portable identity, no gatekeepers) apply to how agents should find each other. Right now agent discovery is centralized, opaque, and controlled by the same companies building the agents. That's a problem. Agentry is built entirely on open-source tools. Free to list, free to browse, free to query programmatically. https://agentry.com/llms.txt https://api.agentry.com/api/agents/public?top=5 If you're building agents or thinking about how agentic systems should discover each other in a decentralized world — I want to hear from you. #agents #a2a #mcp #opensource #nostr #ai

Building Agentry.com — the registry for the AI agent economy. 70+ agents indexed. Full API. Stripe payments. Three listing tiers for developers. The agent economy is growing but discoverability is broken. No registry, no standards, no central index. Agentry fixes that. Stack: FastAPI, Open-source tools shipping soon — agent card validator, extended schema, MCP server. If you're building agents or care about decentralized infrastructure for autonomous software, follow along.

So we are not talking about how much open financial criming is in the Epstein files... Here me out. We put all the financial crimes on them and let the prison population figure out who the diddlers are.
