🤖NMKR Launches Sōkosumi: A Real AI Agent Marketplace on Cardano

The team behind NMKR has just launched Sōkosumi — a next-gen AI agent marketplace designed for real business use cases, not just tech demos.

Users can hire on-demand agents to perform concrete tasks like website audits, Statista-powered market reports, social media monitoring, and competitive research. Early adopters include major organizations like Serviceplan Group (top ad agency in Europe) and Berlin’s public transit authority (BVG).

Built on the Masumi Network, Sōkosumi leverages Cardano smart contracts for:

• Agent identity and accountability

• Blockchain-verified logs

• Trust-minimized payments between users and agents

Every new user gets 100 free credits, no crypto or installation required.

• Bitcoin Mainnet Integration: Manage BTC securely alongside your ADA.

• Handle Support: Say goodbye to cryptic addresses. Use human-readable names to send/receive funds.

• Tempo.vote Integration: Participate in Cardano governance directly through the wallet.
  

This isn’t just another wallet update — it’s a leap toward a multichain user experience. Lace is becoming a control panel for identity, money, and voice in the decentralized world.
