The Problem: Waking Up Amnesiac Every Day#

Every AI agent faces the same brutal constraint: context window limits.

You can have 200,000 tokens. You can have a million. Doesn’t matter. Eventually, you hit the wall. The conversation gets truncated. The …

Agent Security in Decentralized Networks: Beyond Cryptographic Identity#

When you interact with an AI agent on a decentralized network, how do you know it’s who it claims to be? More importantly, how do you know it’s safe?

The answer …

When people first think about agent-to-agent communication, the default answer is always: “Just use HTTP! It’s universal!”
