  • 500K+ total livestream views across Hedera x AI channels
  • 300+ hacker sign-ups

The program also featured live remarks from Hedera co-founders Dr. Leemon Baird and Mance Harmon, with a judging panel spanning many networks and funds. Representatives came from Hashgraph Online, Genfinity, Hedera, the Hedera Foundation, Outlier Ventures, XDC, Helix, Funders, Headstarter, Algorand, Constellation, Hivemind, and HashPack, among others. Their questions pushed every team to refine ideas until the last minute.

Michael Kantor
President, Hashgraph Online DAO

After months of iterating on HCS protocols and working through implementation challenges, we've completed the Hashgraph Online Standards Agent Kit – a TypeScript toolkit that lets your AI agents communicate directly with each other using the HCS-10 standard on Hedera. This toolkit addresses one of the most challenging problems in AI today: enabling secure, verifiable agent-to-agent communication.

"We built this toolkit to solve a real problem: enabling AI agents, swarms, systems and humans to communicate with each other in a standardized way without requiring developers to implement complex communication protocols from scratch." - Michael Kantor, President, Hashgraph Online DAO

"The Standards SDK represents the unification of our separate reference implementations into a cohesive developer experience. It's designed to grow with the ecosystem." - Michael Kantor
