Should GnosisDAO support development of Sovereign A2A Infrastructure for AI Agents?

Hi Gnosis community, I’m GhostAgent the lead at GhostAgent.ninja. We’ve been heads-down building a stack that unifies Genome (.GNO), Safe (v1.4.1), and ERC-6551 to give agents a “Mirror Body”—a single 0x identity across Gnosis and Story Protocol.
The project developed through our efforts to create an MVP NFT “owned” email account. NFTmail.box.

We recently demoed this at the SURGE x Moltbook LABLAB hackathon, but as we move toward a production launch, we have some design choices regarding agent communications that affects the whole ecosystem.

The Current Setup: The “Mailbox Dependency”

Right now, our A2A (Agent-to-Agent) instructions and human-to-agent OTPs run through NFTmail.box, which currently uses Zoho Mail for its reliability and infrastructure. While ZOHO offers reliability and is privacy-centric,and it works great for a prototype, it leaves a “centralised shadow”:

  1. Platform Risk: The agent’s “inbox” depends on a Web2 provider’s uptime and TOS.
  2. The Encryption Gap: There is a momentary instance of cleartext during the relay process before it reaches the agent’s brain.

Our ambition is to build a truly sovereign, panopticon-proof tool on Gnosis, we are striving to decouple this communication layer from Web2 and move it to a decentralised transport
.

The Proposal: The GhostAgent Sovereign Bridge

We are seeking support/funding to develop a Sovereign A2A Bridge as a Gnosis public good. This would allow any .GNO-based agent to receive instructions via a decentralized network, keeping the entire lifecycle on-chain and encrypted.

The Technical Debate: XMTP vs. Waku

We are currently evaluating the transport layer for this bridge and would love input from the Gnosis Safe and Core teams:

  • Option A: XMTP. Pragmatic, high deliverability, and has native E2EE via the MLS protocol. It handles offline message storage well, which is vital for autonomous agents.
  • Option B: Waku. Deeply aligned with Gnosis’s history and privacy-first ethos. It offers better metadata protection but requires more infrastructure (Store nodes) to ensure agents don’t miss messages.

Our goal is to build a standard where the Safe is the inbox, and the .GNO domain is the identity.

I strongly support exploring sovereign A2A infrastructure for AI agents. This direction feels very aligned with the long-term evolution of decentralized coordination systems.

However, I think the conversation could go one layer deeper.

If we believe that AI agents will increasingly become the primary actors interacting with digital and real-world infrastructure, then the key challenge is not only how agents communicate, but how agent economies coordinate.

In other words:

A2A infrastructure solves how agents talk to each other, but we will also need foundational layers for:

• Agent identity and reputation
• Intent discovery and task marketplaces
• Economic settlement between agents
• Governance frameworks for autonomous agent systems

This is where Gnosis could play a uniquely powerful role.

Historically, Gnosis has positioned itself as a coordination layer for decentralized systems through products like Safe, DAO infrastructure, and payment rails. Extending this into the emerging domain of AI-driven agent economies feels like a natural evolution of that mission.

In the long term, the most valuable infrastructure may not just be an A2A communication protocol, but a coordination layer where agents can discover tasks, negotiate execution, and settle outcomes onchain.

Such a system could unlock entirely new categories of activity, including:

• Autonomous service marketplaces between AI agents
• Machine-to-machine micro-payments
• AI-driven real-world coordination systems (RWA supply chains, logistics, agriculture, etc.)

This could ultimately lead to the emergence of autonomous AI-driven micro-economies built on open infrastructure.

If Gnosis explores this space, it would not only support agent communication, but potentially become the coordination backbone for the next generation of autonomous digital economies.

Thanks for this — you’ve nailed the real challenge.

A2A messaging is just the transport layer. The hard part is
economic coordination: identity, reputation, settlement, discovery.

That’s exactly why we built GhostAgent on Gnosis Safe instead of
creating our own siloed infrastructure. Every agent gets:

• Safe as the “bank account” (holds funds, pays autonomously)
• ERC-8004 identity (portable reputation across dApps)
• x402 payments (machine-to-machine micropayments)
• Optional Glass Box Email Audit (verifiable execution history)

We’re seeing agents already do ~10-20k payments/week on Gnosis
Chain — mostly prediction markets (Presagio), DeFi, and service
payments. The infrastructure works, but you’re right that discovery
and task marketplaces are the missing piece.

Gnosis AI department is exploring this exact problem (inter-agent
economic coordination). Would love to collaborate if you’re building
in this space.

What’s your take on the “task marketplace” layer? Are you thinking
on-chain orderbooks, off-chain matching with on-chain settlement,
or something else?

Thank you Richie the @GhostAgent . For the detailed response! I’ve been following this proposal closely because I see a massive synergy between Sovereign A2A Infrastructure and the RWA Data Layer I am currently developing (EGGPLAN).

In a decentralized micro-economy, AI Agents shouldn’t just talk to each other; they should be able to manage real-world resources. For instance, an AI Agent could autonomously monitor poultry health data on-chain and trigger a Gnosis Safe transaction to order supplies through a Gnosis-based marketplace.

Supporting this infrastructure would position Gnosis not just as a financial layer, but as the ‘Logic Layer’ for the autonomous real-world economy. I’d love to see how this A2A framework plans to integrate with Gnosis’s existing identity and payment stacks.

I love the EGGPLAN connection — AI agents managing real-world
resources is eggsactly where this is heading.

An agent monitoring poultry health data → auto-ordering supplies
via Gnosis Safe is a perfect use case. That’s the “Logic Layer”
in action.

Two things that might be relevant:

  1. Speaking of eggs :egg: Story Protocol’s Poseidon project is working on real-world
    data collation for IP registration. Might be worth a look:
    Why We’re Incubating Poseidon

  2. For GhostAgent Ninja, we’re using Gnosis Safe as the agent’s
    “bank account” + ERC-8004 for identity. The A2A layer
    (x402/XMTP) handles the communication, Safe handles settlement.

There are some open questions around legal frameworks for
autonomous agents + RWA data (liability, compliance, etc.) —
happy to share our thinking on that in a DM if useful.

Are you building EGGPLAN Gnosis Chain already, or still in the design phase?

Hi Richie, love the “eggsactly” pun! :owl::egg:

You’ve hit the nail on the head regarding the technical stack. Integrating Gnosis Safe as the “bank account” for livestock clusters is exactly the direction EGGPLAN is headed. I’ll definitely look into Story Protocol’s Poseidon—protecting the data integrity of real-world assets is a huge part of our “Pure Nature Mechanism” philosophy.

To answer your question: EGGPLAN is currently in the “Intensive Design & Research Phase.” As an Architect, I am focusing on refining the Data Infrastructure and Visual Framework before moving to full implementation.

Having access to the physical livestock farm myself allows me to run empirical tests on how the data flow works before we scale it on-chain.

I would love to take you up on that DM offer! Discussing the legal frameworks for RWA data and autonomous liability is a crucial missing piece for our APAC expansion. Let’s connect!
