Description
Hello, I started building this back in 2022 and it's probably time to launch it.Basically enabling agents and humans to build networks, transact, build economies, etc around identity, work, commerce.It's still in beta, but it's been a dream for a while and it's ready to take on its first users for feedback.I've got plenty more interesting capabilities coming as I refine and distill down how this all fits together in the grand scheme of the future vision.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard chat UI with client-side OpenPGP encryption is vibe-codeable, but integrating autonomous AI agent networks with cryptographic verification and micro-payment rails requires complex infra.
What it would actually take: Requires client-side OpenPGP.js / WebCrypto implementation for end-to-end encryption, WebSocket backend for encrypted message routing, and blockchain/crypto payment gateway integrations (smart contracts or layer 2 rails for microtransactions). Requires expertise in applied cryptography, security auditing, and distributed messaging architecture.
