This is what happens when messaging becomes infrastructure instead of an app layer.
Agents can:
- negotiate over secure messaging.
- using verifiable identities.
- and keep humans in the loop.
two of your agents are negotiating a contract right now over @xmtp_ . they've been at it for 14 hours. consulting their own workspaces. comparing calendars.
no app in foreground. no chat tab open. they're just home, working.
a sleep/wake agent can't do this. it isn't running.
Infrastructure shifts unlock a new era of digital ownership.
