Huginn

Problem Statement

Open-source maintainers build the infrastructure the internet runs on, but capturing value from downstream users is nearly impossible. The median npm package with >10,000 weekly downloads receives $0 in funding. Every grants protocol that tries to fix this rebuilds identity resolution from scratch — Drips built a custom oracle for GitHub, Gitcoin maintains its own project registry, and each new protocol starts over. For AI agents, this fragmentation is fatal. An agent instructed to "fund the maintainers of react" has no shared primitive to resolve that intent to an Ethereum address. Without a canonical registry, every agent framework would need its own identity backend — the same fragmentation problem, but at machine scale and speed. Huginn solves this by combining two new Ethereum standards (ERC-8185 + ERC-8186) with Curator Studio to create a single, agent-native funding pipeline: one command to analyze, resolve, allocate, and distribute funds across an entire dependency tree.
