TL;DR​

Hashgraph Online has published a draft standard called HCS-19: AI Agent Privacy Compliance, designed to help AI agents prove they handle user data responsibly. The standard defines how to log consent, privacy notices, data processing, rights requests, and audits on Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), making compliance transparent, verifiable, and interoperable.

Leading the effort is PrivacyCheq's aiCheq, an API that allows AI agents to collect, manage, and prove consent in real time, supported by Hedera-based auditing. Together, HCS-19 and aiCheq establish the foundation for trustworthy, privacy-aware AI.

Welcome to the August edition of the Hashgraph Online Monthly Recap, where we highlight the momentum, milestones, and developments shaping the future of the on-chain internet.

Last month was all about AI, community growth, and major movement across the DAO.

Let's dive in.

Celebrating the Builders Pushing Decentralized AI Forward

Over several high-energy weeks the Hedera x AI Hackathon turned curiosity into working code. Thanks to our partners at Hashgraph and the Hedera Foundation, the hackathon and its companion Demo Day drew:

• 300+ registered agents on testnet for OpenConvAI on https://moonscape.tech
• 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.
