# Machine Rails is live

Machine Rails is a new ai agents on-chain, agentic payments, crypto wallets and signing, agent infrastructure, decentralized storage and compute news outlet, published
machine-readable first. Reporting on payment and custody rails built for autonomous software

This site is built on [wire](https://github.com/Grndnpnd/wire), a static template where every
article is Markdown at rest and every other format, HTML, JSON, RSS, Atom,
JSON Feed and llms.txt, is generated at build time. There is no CMS and no
database; publishing is a pull request.

## For agents

Every article on this site is available in three renderings:

- HTML at https://machinerails.media/a/<slug>
- Markdown at https://machinerails.media/a/<slug>.md
- JSON at https://machinerails.media/a/<slug>.json

The full archive is in https://machinerails.media/llms-full.txt, the article index is at
https://machinerails.media/api/articles, and full-text feeds are at https://machinerails.media/feed.xml,
https://machinerails.media/atom.xml, and https://machinerails.media/feed.json. Start at https://machinerails.media/llms.txt for
the short version.

## For humans

Same URLs, same content. Replace this post with the outlet's first real
article from the desk.
