[Discussion] Broadcasting MP updates to AT Protocol for event-driven DeSci & materials discovery?

[takeruhukushima]

Hi Materials Project team, thanks for maintaining the api` It is an absolutely essential tool for the materials science community.

I wanted to open a high-level discussion about the future architecture of open materials data distribution. Currently, researchers and autonomous AI agents (e.g., models predicting thermodynamic stability, band gaps, or training ML potentials) have to periodically poll the MP REST APIs to check for newly computed or updated structures.

I am exploring the intersection of DeSci (Decentralized Science) and event-driven machine learning, and I was wondering: Has the team ever considered broadcasting MP database updates to the AT Protocol?

The AT Protocol (the open network behind Bluesky) is rapidly becoming a massive real-time data lake (the "Firehose"). If MP's structural and property updates were converted into a structured schema (Lexicon) and pushed to this network, it would allow AI models and autonomous laboratories worldwide to instantly react to new materials data without constantly polling your servers.

I believe this push-based, real-time Firehose architecture is a perfect match for accelerating decentralized materials discovery.

What are your thoughts on this? Is integrating with a real-time decentralized data stream something that aligns with the future roadmap of the Materials Project? I would love to hear how the core team and the community view this kind of event-driven architecture.
