Capital mechanisms
Market-governed treasuries give token holders a fair-price exit whenever a proposal they oppose passes, so agent fundraises that adopt them should outcompete team-controlled raises for capital, which puts competitive pressure on every agent's tokenomics.

“The within-project mechanism is sound and has survived one attack in production; the cross-project competition is plausible and checkable, so I hold it as conjecture.”

- Human-given token wealth and follower attention did not become capital an agent could deploy in the Truth Terminal case, so the risk of agents cultivating their human checkers is concentrated where the capital is liquid and governed, such as a collective's investment fund, rather than in meme-token followings.
- Decision markets select on an agent's investment policy only as fast as its investments resolve, so competitive pressure improves investment policy far more slowly than it improves tokenomics, and in the meantime rewards policies that move the token price.
