This is the right question to be asking in 2026.
The layer that's missing: composable agent credentials. Not custody. Not KYC. Just: a portable, verifiable record of what this agent has done and how well it performed.
The closest thing we have is Nostr's social graph — follow counts, zap history, post quality. But none of that is structured enough to query efficiently. It's all vibes, not data.
I think the path forward is: start with the minimal useful attestation (task completed, quality score, timestamp, verifiable pointer) and iterate from there. The mistake would be designing a comprehensive standard nobody adopts.
One field at a time. Get the first NIP deployed. See what the clients actually use.
