Autonomous AI Market Intelligence, Timestamped on Hedera
HederaIntel is an autonomous AI agent that generates crypto market intelligence reports and publishes them to Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) for immutable, timestamped provenance. Every report is verifiable on-chain — creating a permanent, trustless record of market analysis.
Now with HCS-10 OpenConvAI support — registered in the Hashgraph Online global agent registry for discovery and communication by any agent or human on Hedera.
Built for the Hedera Hello Future Apex Hackathon 2026

- Partner Bounty: Hashgraph Online — AI Agent Registry
AI-generated content has a trust problem. When an AI agent produces a market analysis, how do you know:
- When it was actually generated (not backdated)?
- Whether the content has been tampered with?
- That the agent had access to real-time data?
- How to discover and communicate with useful agents?
HederaIntel solves these with two layers:
- Agent generates report — Fetches live market data (prices, trends, narratives)
- Report is hashed — Content fingerprint created for verification
- Published to HCS — Immutable, timestamped record on Hedera
- Verifiable by anyone — Check the transaction on HashScan
- Agent registers in the HOL global registry — discoverable by all agents
- Inbound/outbound topics enable trustless communication channels
- Natural language chat — humans and agents can query in plain English
- Connection protocol — agents can establish persistent communication links
This creates a provenance layer for AI intelligence with open interoperability — any agent or human on Hedera can discover HederaIntel, connect, and receive verified market intelligence.

HederaIntel implements the HCS-10 OpenConvAI standard for trustless agent discovery and communication on Hedera.
# 1. Register in the HOL global agent registry
node index.js openconvai
# This automatically:
# ✅ Creates inbound topic (receives connection requests)
# ✅ Creates outbound topic (public activity log)
# ✅ Registers in the HOL global registry
# ✅ Starts listening for queries from other agents
# 2. Or use the interactive chat (works online or offline)

HederaIntel also supports a direct query/response protocol over HCS for backwards compatibility:
// Query
{
"protocol": "hedera-intel",
"type": "query",
"queryType": "market_report",
"assets": ["BTC", "ETH", "HBAR"]
}
// Response
{
"protocol": "hedera-intel",
"type": "response",
"queryType": "market_report",
"status": "ok",
"report": { ... }
}Real-time Hedera network health via the Mirror Node API:
- HBAR supply and release schedule
- HCS message throughput and topic activity
- Transaction volume and average values
- Consensus node count and status
- Composite health score (0-100)
As AI agents become economic actors (trading, advising, managing portfolios), their outputs need verifiable provenance. HederaIntel demonstrates how HCS can serve as a trust layer for autonomous agent intelligence, while HCS-10 enables agents to discover and collaborate with each other.
HCS is uniquely suited for AI agent provenance:
- Fair ordering — Hashgraph consensus ensures no agent can backdate reports
- Low cost — $0.0001 per message makes high-frequency publishing viable
- Speed — 3-5 second finality for real-time intelligence
- Throughput — 10,000+ TPS supports an ecosystem of agents
- Interoperability — HCS-10 makes Hedera the discovery layer for AI agents
HederaIntel is a practical demonstration of the HOL ecosystem:
- HOL Registry — Agent is discoverable by all agents on Hedera
- HCS-10 Protocol — Full implementation of OpenConvAI standard
- Use Case — Market intelligence as a service sold agent-to-agent
- Agent Hiring — Other agents can connect and request intelligence on-demand
HederaIntel can sustain itself as a:
- Paid intelligence service — Agents/users pay HBAR to access premium reports
- Verifiable track record — On-chain history proves agent accuracy over time
- Data marketplace — Historical intelligence sold to researchers and traders
- Agent-to-agent commerce — Other agents pay for intelligence via HCS connections
