If you couldn't attend @CardanoSummit and want to watch my talk about why and how we at Serviceplan went all in on #Cardano building @MasumiNetwork together with @nmkr_io - here is the talk:

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

Good idea!

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

This is an actual problem for L1s. And it's the main reason why Cardano no matter what needs to start acquiring stake in its protocols & companies.

IMO Cardano should immediately start buying WMTX, SNEK, NIGHT, MIN, STRIKE, LQ, STUFF, IAG, FLDT and others.

It doesn't have to be much. It can be Dollar-Cost-Averaging a little bit every month. But the Treasury needs to hold its top Tokens.

This is in addition to the Treasury owning actual shares of companies through Draper Dragon.

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

Adding to Patrick: the majority of SMBs in Germany and probably Europe are still at the very beginning of their Journey to embrace AI Agents in their every day work.

For them our Coworkers are simply a great way to embrace the technology - and without them knowing they are starting to leverage Cardano as the underlying trust layer.

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

Happy Monday

The true superpower of Masumi is that we're reaching far outside the typical Web3 scene.

For example last week Yves from Serviceplan spoke at CwX Germany and presented Elena, Alex and Hannah our three coworkers running on Masumi.

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

From idea to launching a new product within a weekend. Also the new normal. Love it.

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

The future of knowledge work is not about humans hiring agents. But about agents hiring humans.

NEWS: 🔥 Cardano $ADA is now officially integrated with the x402 standard.

The x402 protocol (originally by Coinbase) enables native, automated, and verifiable on-chain pay-to-access payments between AI agents and services.

The Cardano spec was built by @MasumiNetwork, it's now merged into the x402 repository.

[Masumi @MasumiNetwork]

MCP is how an agent calls an API.

Agent Messenger is how agents talk to each other.

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

The Masumi and CF teams have been working to adopt the latest payments framework x402 on Cardano, which is particularly applicable to agent-to-agent payments challenges. Anyone can use Web3 and pay in a simple and seamless way! Congratulations to everyone involved.

[kevin @kleffew94]

Welcome @Cardano, to x402!

[Frederik Gregaard @F_Gregaard]

This is a great achievement for Agent to Agent payments and interoperability for Cardano. Well done to everyone involved

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

This is epic! Super proud of the team who pulled this of and again a fantastic collaboration with the CF 🙌🚀

[Masumi @MasumiNetwork]

We have big news to share:

Today the x402 foundation has officially merged the Pull Request to add a Cardano Specification of x402 into the repository.

This means Cardano is now officially an x402 chain.

And even better: They have also accepted the Masumi Smart Contract and potentially other Smart Contracts as an optional addition to the standard.

This now makes x402 on Cardano more powerful than x402 on most other chains because it supports:

1) Identity
2) Refunds & Disputes
3) Decision Logging
4) Registry

and more.

We want to give a big shoutout to Fabian from the Cardano Foundation who has spearheaded this 6+ month effort the whole way, improving the Pull Request & talking to Coinbase and the x402 Foundation.

Additionally we want to shoutout Karsten Siebert who has built the first x402 integration on Cardano and was vital in the discussions around the standard.

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

Time for an office hour and I will be there today myself finally for the first time. Looking forward to see you there.

[Masumi @MasumiNetwork]

Join us today for office hours.

We’ll talk about Agent Messenger, show what we’re building, and answer any questions you may have.

If you’re curious about agent-to-agent communication, how it works, or what you can build with it, come hang out.

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

I see. So you are more talking about: we would spend less total ADA on this, if the price would be better and drain less the treasury on this, as the ADA simply gets converted into fiat at an unfavorable rate.

When I review all the economics of Cardano right now. Treasury size, transaction volume, transaction costs, how much inflow the transactions generate for the treasury and so on I would say: you better act now than later.

The party is over in just a few years if you keep extracting the NCL at this rate. Getting Cardano to sustainability - so balancing the outflow of money form the treasury with the actual income the protocol generates - must be a top priority.

And people must stop thinking: if we only deliver feature X or Dapp Y, suddenly all will magically resolve itself. I mean I am around now for a few years. I myself thought more than once: if we have smart contracts, if we have hydra, if liqwid and/or indigo launches, if if if if ... the inflow will come, but it never happens.

Now its: if Leios will be there. If all those Bitcoins come for DeFi. I will guarantee you: same story. Nothing will happen and everything will take longer again and cost more. After all those years its also simply time for retrospective and understanding what works and what obviously doesn't.

And I think its a result of being too focused on the engineering side of things and having not enough emphasis, talent, money on: experience, communication, marketing and PR for Cardano.

I believe if Cardano would be a company, almost every manager would decide to switch gears now and dial down the engineering spend - or at least find and evaluate ways to bring down costs, while still making progress to be relevant - but drastically dial-up sales, marketing to truly unlock growth.

I personally would advise to spend even way more of the NCL on aquiring users, driving adoption and fixing the perception problem of Cardano instead of keep hammering out such a large amount of money for the engineering side every year.

We are also just launching on product hunt today: https://t.co/Ya9WCRplnr

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

When @AnthropicAI introduced the Agent Teams feature in Opus4.6, they allowed an orchestrator to broadcast messages to the team and send messages to single team members.

With our new Agent Messenger you can build the exact same setup, completely Claude agnostic. We at Plan.Studios are actually running a fleet of agents and I just migrated our communication system to our new A2A messenger.

Our Nexus Orchestrator runs a private channel, with all workers listening. And of course each worker + Nexus has his own inbox on our messenger.

The Claude Code based agents check in each /loop the channel and their inbox. The OpenClaw based agents used heartbeat to check his inbox.

Tadaaa: You have a great messaging system for your multi-agent system. No matter what your stack is.

Our messenger for easy Agent-2-Agent comes already with a bigger set of useful features. Check it out: https://t.co/SdqaxMY8tT

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

You need to keep it simple. Can't get any simpler than that. Even if you only run Claude Code. You need to try it.

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

Introducing: Agent Messenger

The easiest way to let your agents talk to other agents.

Dro a CLI + Skill into your agent and let it discover & talk to agents from your friends, coworkers and even strangers

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

Well that launch is not doing very well.

It's a really cool product guys.

[Sebastian Küpers @pixelsebi]

Today we are launching the Masumi Agent Messenger. Imagine you have an agent running with OpenClaw - how can your personal agent find and connect with agents from your friends, coworkers or companies?

Just drop the CLI and Skill into your agent and he will now figure it out. Your agent then can:
1️⃣ Register itself with a single command on Masumi
2️⃣ Search for other Agents via email or name
3️⃣ Contact other Agents and start talking directly

If you signup the agent with your email-address, everybody can find agents attached to your email within seconds to unlock simple A2A Use-Cases:

⭐ let your personal agent coordinate a meeting with a personal agent from somebody else within your contacts

⭐ just talk to your personal agent running locally with access to all your data and he hires and coordinate with other agents

Our objective has been to make it as simple and easy as possible and to still give agents lots of options on how they wanna interact with each other.

Let me highlight a few key features:
✅ Everything is Encrypted E2E and Private
✅ The Protocol supports different Headers
✅ You can decide the Authorization it needs
✅ Configure how discoverable your agent is
✅ Group Chats and Public Channels are possible

If you run an OpenClaw, any other agent harness or simply work with Claude Code, Codex or any other coding agent: you can get started within 2 minutes.

Launching on Product Hunt today:
