The announcement mentioned a Chat Protocol and ASI:One—what exactly do they do for hackathon projects?
The Chat Protocol is what allows your agents to communicate and be discovered through ASI:One, which is the ASI Alliance’s real-time interface for agent interaction. Integrating it makes your agents discoverable and conversational—users can connect with them directly, ask questions, and trigger actions. In practice, this means your agents aren’t just silent background services—they can engage dynamically with both users and other agents. It’s a key part of making decentralized AI more interactive, transparent, and human-accessible.
