@Pip the WoT guy and @franzap what say you? Is your WoT API better with or without the DVM part?

The fact that they don't use the DVM on their own website says it all. Instead they use a normal HTTP API at https://npub.world/api/query and server-rendered profile pages apparently.

Perhaps time to rethink it for the agentic era ... we have MCP and A2A now, too

Yes, I was thinking about that thoughtfully when drafting dvmcp spec and my article about dvms and the reflection pattern.
