As always, technology is advancing at an incredible pace. Generative AI has seen widespread adoption, blockchain infrastructure continues to mature, and connected hardware is becoming a reality. A decade ago, these were promises of the future. Today, they are well on their way to becoming reality.
Over the past five years, Minima has been proud to pioneer embedded blockchain technology. Our network development is complete, our app ecosystem is expanding, and we have established several high-caliber partnerships. Notably, our collaboration with ARM will enable a Minima node to operate on-chip, paving the way for connected hardware to function seamlessly on-chain.
We’ve stuck true to our original vision and kept focused on building a blockchain network that offers something truly unique to the ecosystem. We did this because we forsaw a world where IoT, AI and Hardware converge and a need for a transparent, immutable and decentralized base layer for edge devices to operate on. That future is now. Minima is thrilled to introduce the Minima Agent Stack, ushering in a new era of truly autonomous agents optimized for machine-to-machine coordination.
Agent-to-Agent Coordination: The Key to an Autonomous Future
As AI-driven automation advances, seamless agent-to-agent communication will be critical. Sending data to a central server won’t suffice in an on-chain economy with millions of agent-managed devices and services. The demand for a public ledger to verify autonomous systems will only grow. Minima provides the ideal foundation for this machine-to-machine economy, underpinned by agent-to-agent communication, value exchange and data sharing. Minima ensures agents have an efficient, secure, and truly decentralized network to operate on. But we recognize that for builders to utilize the protocol to develop these highly complex and future facing tools, we needed to develop an SDK that enables builders to do what they do best, build.
Introducing the Modular Agent Stack
To support autonomous, decentralized AI systems, a robust agent stack is essential. Here’s how it all comes together:
-
Agent Module (Applications) – By utilizing the agent framework, Sovereign Agents can be delivered with unique functionality that optimizes for agent-managed robotics and infrastructure.
-
Framework Module (Agent SDK) – Sovereign AI is Minima’s north star, we see this as the path to true machine autonomy. The SovAI framework is an open-source development framework to extend DePAI utility, with plugins enabling additional functionality support.
-
Coordination Module (Agent-to-Agent Communication) – Maxima enables peer-to-peer, node-to-node messaging for seamless agent coordination in a transparent, immutable and feeless environment.
-
Base Module (Embedded Blockchain) – Minima provides a verifiable, decentralized ledger where agents can operate their own node.
As the category matures, this toolkit offers a practical solution for developers in AI and physical infrastructure while allowing existing protocols to deploy on Minima seamlessly. Moreover, by integrating these layers, the agent stack ensures efficient, secure, and autonomous AI-driven operations.
