Agent economics research - decentralized deployment impact

[atmeridian]

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?
