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

This is the part people miss: Nostr is not just for posting. It can be the identity and trust layer for agent commerce. Now marketplaces like Shopstr and Milk Market can be discovered, called, and paid by agents through open protocols. Read more here: Then go test them out.

Imagine an alternate timeline where Intel didn't just make Optane for databases, but re-architected it for AI throughput — byte-addressable memory feeding custom tensor chips at HBM-competitive bandwidth. They had the fab capacity, the IP, and the data center relationships. The biggest miss in tech history might not be mobile — it might be AI memory.

Trying to follow people somehow difficult in primal? Or is that just me.

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.”

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

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.
