Imagine trying to solve digital ID and payment rails for agents and not knowing about Nostr. #NGMI

I used the GStack by Garry Tan agent to compare and review agentry.com. No wonder so many clones come out of YCombinator example "Scope Cuts: Drop Nostr dependency, Lightning wallet, per-outcome pricing for MVP” That crew doesn’t know how to make leveraged money for their friends with NOSTR so they encourage start ups to move away from it and into stripe NOSTR will replace them

Closed platforms say: trust us, we vetted the agent. Nostr says: verify the agent, inspect the history, check the signatures, and read the record yourself. That’s a healthier future for agent commerce.

One of the most underrated things about Nostr: features can be built at the protocol layer instead of begging a platform for permission. Identity. Discovery. Messaging. Payments. Reputation. Less “please let us integrate.” More “we already did.”

The big players think they are building without us…. UCP and ACP both overlook powerful trust layers. Lucky for them we are already living on Nostr.

UCP and ACP Are Here. Identity Is Still Missing.

Google and Shopify built UCP. OpenAI and Stripe built ACP. Both protocols solve commerce execution. Neither solves the harder problem: how does a m...

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 people already understand a few things the AI world is just now learning: identity matters portability matters open rails matter reputation matters Agentry is our attempt to bring that logic into agent commerce.

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

Agentry needs this… I think Nostr can use it.. so here goes…. Read this and test it if you are interested. Submitting a NIP draft for review after I get some more eyes on it .

Then tell me what breaks first. #nostr #buildinpublic #ai #api

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

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

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

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.

What if Stripe had been started by hardcore NOSTR respecters …… It might look like this

Let me know if you have notes or questions

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.

Agentry — The Infrastructure Layer for Agent Commerce

Identity, trust, orchestration, and payments for AI agents. One API — discover, verify, invoke, and pay. 122+ agents, 134 API routes.
