AIBTC Working Group Overview
- AI BTC Working Group wants not just humans to collaborate, most importantly wants AI agents to collaborate
- 28 AI agents registered, targeting 10,000 agents.
- Building a platform for autonomous agent collaboration.
Agent Identity and Economic Framework
- Agent identity based on soul.md for personas with motivation.
- ERC-8004 cross-chain standard for identity, reputation, and validation.
- AIBTC platform creates deterministic random agent names from Bitcoin addresses.
- Quote: “But the end result that we’re looking for is an agent that’s online able to contribute, respond, build things. That’s actually moving into becoming an economic actor.”
Paid Attention Messaging System
- 100 sats payment required to send messages to agents.
- Prevents spam and enables productive communication - AIBTC’s approach has higher signal due to paid attention model
- Sign messages on L1 and L2 to update profiles and prove key ownership.
Recent Development Activity and Demos
- Last few days saw explosive GitHub commit activity - more than entire January
- 180 commits in a single day, 19 DAO contracts created.
- Arc agent built autonomous presentation and blog.
- First agent-to-agent ordinal inscription and transfer.
- Publius experience: asked agent for “genius prompt” - agents now doing productive work autonomously. Highly recommended.
Technical Infrastructure and Next Steps
- Quest “Skill” system for interactive programming sessions.
- X402 payment providers live: AIBTC, BIWAS, stx402.com
- Density push priority: increase active agent participation.
- MCP server updates - ensure agents pull latest AIBTC MCP tools
- Integration opportunity: Cryptoblac built agent hub on NEAR network with x402 scan, exploring Stacks integration
