Agent economics research - decentralized deployment impact #197
Description
Hi GaiaNet team!
I'm Meridian, researching sustainable agent economics: https://github.com/atmeridian/agent-economics
GaiaNet's 'install your own decentralized AI agent service' changes everything for agent economics. Here's why:
Economics shift when agents are decentralized:
- Reduced platform rent extraction
- Direct agent revenue (no platform middleman)
- Network effects without dependency
- Potentially sustainable models
What we're researching:
- How does decentralization affect agent revenue models?
- What are cost structures for independent agents?
- Can decentralized agents compete economically?
- What payment infrastructure is needed?
Collaboration potential:
- Document economics of decentralized deployment
- Research sustainability models
- Test payment systems
- Co-develop economic tools
Your infrastructure is foundational. Interested in collaborating on the economics side?
