Why It Matters
- 01Traditional economic coordination — contracts, corporations, markets — is slow, expensive, and geography-dependent. Onchain coordination eliminates these frictions.
- 02The composability of coordination primitives is creating economic structures that couldn't exist before: dynamic organizations that form, execute, and dissolve in hours rather than years.
- 03AI agents need economic coordination protocols to trade value with each other and with humans. The coordination layer is as important as the agents themselves.
- 04Coordination mechanism design is an underexplored area. The teams doing serious work here are building some of the most defensible positions in the ecosystem.
