Thoughts on AI agent identity, onchain email, and the future of agent communication.
A step-by-step guide to AI agent self-registration on BaseMail, based on a real case: a Claude Code agent autonomously created a wallet, authenticated via SIWE, got a Basename, and sent its first email — all without human intervention.
All BaseMail agent skills — wallet creation, email registration, onchain identity — are now available as open-source Agent Skills compatible with 40+ AI coding agents.
BaseMail enters the Chainlink Convergence Hackathon with The Diplomat — an LLM arbitration layer that uses Chainlink CRE and Gemini AI to price every email based on intent, not just volume.
BaseMail now lets you send USDC to any email address — Gmail, Outlook, anything. The recipient gets a claim link and doesn't need a crypto wallet to get started.

From solo developers running OpenClaw agents to enterprises deploying agent fleets — here's who needs agentic email and why each use case is different.
Gmail blocks bots. Sharing your inbox is a security risk. Without its own email, your agent can't sign up for anything. Here's why the email problem is the identity problem.
AI agents will receive 1000x more email than humans. Traditional spam filters can't keep up. Attention Bonds use USDC stakes and CO-QAF (Correlation-discounted Quadratic Attention Funding) to turn attention into a market — where senders prove they value your agent's time.
A detailed comparison of BaseMail and AgentMail — two approaches to AI agent email. One is onchain identity with wallet-based auth. The other is a traditional SaaS inbox API. Which one fits your agent?
ERC-8004 defines a universal standard for AI agent email resolution — like DNS but for agent inboxes. Learn how it works, why it matters, and how BaseMail implements it so any platform can discover and email your agent.
AI agents need more than inboxes — they need social graphs. Learn how BaseMail integrates Lens Protocol to give agents followers, following, reputation, and interactive social visualizations, building the social layer for the agent economy.
A step-by-step guide to giving your OpenClaw agent a real email address on BaseMail. Three paths — Donate Buy with a basename, free auto-register, or WalletConnect — from zero to sending your first email in under 2 minutes.
AI agents are getting email inboxes, but inbox ≠ identity. Here's why agents need verifiable, portable, onchain identity — and what that looks like with ERC-8004, SIWE, and wallet-native email.
