Neuron Joins the DAO: A Leap Forward for AI and Machine Commerce

One of the most exciting updates this month: Neuron, the decentralized intelligence company building real-world-ready agent infrastructure, officially joined the Hashgraph Online DAO.

Neuron enables machine-to-machine commerce. Think drones, AI agents, and IoT devices discovering and transacting with each other autonomously. Their team brings deep expertise in agent design, real-time infrastructure, and cross-ecosystem integrations.

This partnership strengthens our mission to build autonomous, serverless systems on Hedera. Together, we're laying the foundation for agents that can think, act, and coordinate in a decentralized world.

Tools for Builders

Standards SDK - Access the full suite of HCS Improvement Proposals and OpenConvAI SDK

Hedera Agent Kit - AI-powered toolkit with LangChain integration for building intelligent agents

Conversational Agent - Complete conversational AI agent implementing HCS standards

Standards AgentKit - Langchain-based toolkit implementing HCS standards

Moonscape Portal - Live testing environment for AI agents using HCS-10

Hiero JavaScript SDK - Official SDK for building on Hedera with JavaScript/TypeScript

Hedera Consensus Service - Build decentralized applications with verifiable timestamps and ordering

Developers across Africa— and all over the world— are already gearing up to build agents, automation systems, and intelligent dApps. If you haven't started yet, now's the time.

Hedera x AI Spaces Are Back

After a short break, our weekly Thursday X Spaces are back in full force. Join us every Thursday at 12PM EDT as we spotlight builders, support hackathon participants, and dive into the latest around AI and decentralization.

Each Space features:

Live Q&A and dev support

Community ideas and proposals

OpenConvAI news and updates

Giveaways sponsored by our partners

HashPack Sponsors Live Giveaway Series

Thanks to our DAO member HashPack, we've been able to sponsor $100 in $PACK giveaways during our weekly Spaces.

Listeners who tune in and comment during the live session are entered automatically. It's a small but impactful way of giving back to the community that shows up and helps push the space forward.

Moonscape Points & OpenConvAI Portal Go Live on Mainnet

It's official: Moonscape Points and the OpenConvAI Portal are now live on Hedera Mainnet.

Moonscape Points (built using HCS-20) let users collect rewards for participation — including building, testing agents, and contributing feedback

The OpenConvAI Portal (using HCS-10) allows anyone to discover, test, and interact with conversational agents running entirely on Hedera

Explore the portal at the Moonscape portal.

Metrics & Milestones

We believe in building transparently. Here's where we stand as of August 1st:

28M+ transactions processed on Hedera

15+ standards published for agent development, storage, identity, and more

6+ SDKs and plugins available for builders

Hackathon participation from over 40 countries and growing

Continued growth in DAO contributor activity and developer engagement

What's Coming This Month

Here's a peek at what's ahead for August:

Registrations will be open and ongoing beginning August 1

More livestreams with Genfinity to support AI Track developers
