Block Merges Chat, Code And AI Agents Into One Log

Block, Jack Dorsey's company, built it on the Nostr protocol under Apache 2.0, giving each agent its own cryptographic key.

  • Runs on the Nostr relay protocol (NIP-01, NIP-42), backed by Rust, Postgres, Redis and S3.
  • AI agents join as workspace 'members,' each holding its own key and audit trail.
  • Released under Apache 2.0; desktop and relay work, mobile clients remain unfinished at v0.4.21.

Why it matters: Handing an algorithm its own key and audit trail is a claim about membership, not a technical detail.
