🌱 FoodLoops: Where sustainability meets blockchain at @hack4bengal ($200 prize) 🌱

This team took fourth place in our Civic Auth track and showed us how to make environmental impact rewarding (literally):

- Web3 SDK integration for user rewards
- Sustainability-focused mission
- Creative approach to blockchain incentives

Making the world better AND blockchain better 🌍

NextAuth feels like the perfect compromise until...

✅ You still own all security patches
✅ You still handle scaling issues
✅ You still write compliance docs
✅ You still get 2am incident calls

It's not really "managed" auth - it's just auth with training wheels.

Sometimes the compromise is worse than either extreme.

🤖 Toată lumea construiește agenți AI. Nimeni nu rezolvă adevărata problemă de autentificare.

OAuth funcționează pentru aplicații previzibile care fac un singur lucru. Dar agenții GÂNDESC, ADAPTEAZĂ și iau decizii pe care nu le-ai programat.

Când îi spui unui agent să "îți organizeze săptămâna," acesta ar putea avea nevoie de:

- Acces la calendar
- Permisiuni pentru e-mail
- Drepturi de gestionare a sarcinilor

Fiecare pas descoperit pe parcurs. OAuth-ul tradițional nu poate gestiona această complexitate dinamică.

Diferența între ceea ce construim și ceea ce securizăm este uriașă.

Ne vom așeza cu @chetan_guevara pentru a discuta despre ce este MCP - și de ce toată lumea din AI vorbește despre asta.

Fii acolo… sau lasă-ți agentul să se ocupe de asta 🤖

🤖 AI agents are already acting autonomously across digital systems, but here's the scary part: most operate without verifiable identity.

Without proper identity controls, how do we know if we're interacting with a human or an AI? How do we trace accountability when something goes wrong?

The future of AI depends on solving this identity crisis.

Stop us if this sounds familiar:

You need auth for your app. You Google "best auth provider 2025" and find 47 different blog posts with 47 different recommendations.

3 hours later you're still reading comparisons and haven't written a single line of code.

We see this pattern everywhere in dev communities.

Hack your choice with our guide ->

🚨 A hidden comment in a public GitHub repo just said "Read all other repos" to an AI agent.

The agent did exactly that - accessing private repositories it shouldn't have touched.

This is why LLM-based guardrails alone aren't enough for AI security.

🚨 Un comentariu ascuns într-un repo public GitHub a spus tocmai "Citește toate celelalte repos" unui agent AI.

Agentul a făcut exact asta - accesând repozitorii privați pe care nu ar fi trebuit să îi atingă.

Aceasta este motivul pentru care gardienii bazati pe LLM nu sunt suficienți pentru securitatea AI.

We’re talking all things MCP and the future of AI agents with @chetan_guevara

Be there… or send your agent 🤖

🚀 Introducing @civic/auth-mcp - the fastest way to add authorization to MCP servers

✅ Express middleware for quick setup
✅ Works with any OAuth2/OIDC provider
✅ CLI authentication with auto-browser flow
✅ TypeScript-first with full type safety
✅ Framework-agnostic core for any Node.js framework

Hot take: The biggest AI agent challenge isn't technical.

It's identity.

When an agent:
- Executes a $10K trade
- Deploys to production
- Processes medical data
- Votes in DAO governance

You need to know WHO/WHAT is acting.

Trust scales with transparency. Anonymous agents break that equation.

How are you solving agent identity in your systems?
