Most crypto projects pitch their technology at conferences full of people who already own crypto. Cardano just took a different approach, walking into the German Parliament and presenting an AI agent marketplace to actual lawmakers.
On June 10, Patrick Tobler, co-founder of MasumiNetwork, presented at the 7th Blockchain Roundtable held inside the German Bundestag in Berlin. The session focused on AI and blockchain as foundational pillars of digital sovereignty.
What Masumi actually does
The Masumi protocol is a decentralized network built on Cardano that lets AI agents autonomously interact, transact, and log their decisions. Central to the pitch is the Sokosumi marketplace, which functions as the storefront where businesses can hire or offer AI agents for various services. The platform supports multiple payment types, ensures secure digital identities for agents, and creates verifiable records of every transaction and decision an agent makes.
The presentation wasn’t just theoretical. Tobler demonstrated real-world enterprise use cases developed in collaboration with the Serviceplan Group, one of Europe’s largest independent agency groups. The partnership with NMKR, a Cardano-native infrastructure provider, rounds out the technical stack powering the marketplace.
