Great presentation by Maxim at Honey Badger conference. Great to see the first 1000 smart contracts issued on bitcoin, and the first 200,000 users. Yes, it's mainly testnet, for now. But surely a bright future ahead for programmable bitcoin.
Definition: Agentic Web
The Agentic Web is a distributed, interactive internet ecosystem in which autonomous software agents, often powered by large language models, act as autonomous intermediaries that persistently plan, coordinate, and execute goal-directed tasks. In this paradigm, web
resources and services are agent-accessible, enabling continuous agent-to-agent interaction, dynamic information exchange, and value creation alongside traditional human-web interactions.

Good news! After a helpful discussion with the W3C Credentials Community Group, we’ve aligned on a verification method that works cleanly with did:nostr and the Verifiable Credentials stack:
w3c-ccg/community#254 (comment)
I’ve already patched the did:nostr draft to reflect this.
What this unlocks
1. Production-ready reference implementations
2. Compatibility with the wider W3C Credentials ecosystem
3. A straightforward path to issuing industry-standard credentials (badges, awards, driver’s licences, etc.) over Nostr
4. The ability to sign and exchange JSON payloads between Nostr services (relays optional)
It’s a nice step up in standards alignment and Nostr functionality.
Many thanks to everyone who weighed in, feedback very welcome!
Been having a lot of fun exploring smart contracts over Bitcoin. They only launched last week, and wallets are already popping up. One wallet’s chat room has 40,000 people in it, and that’s just one wallet! All this without needing a Bitcoin fork. Feels like we might be at the start of something big.

After 6 years of wait, finally able to work on an IDE for smart contracts over bitcoin. Early but big.
