ResponsibilityMechanismOperational change

Provide a stable unit for expressing value inside agent-economy transactions.

Autonomous exchange can coordinate around a native economic reference.

Support reserve-backed settlement and sealed escrow within the accountability fabric.

Value transfer and recourse no longer sit entirely outside the agent network.

Measure usage where autonomous transactions and services occur.

Agent activity can connect to usage-based economic coordination.

Settlement happens outside the agent interaction and loses transaction context.

Native settlement connects value movement to the accountable exchange.

Economic remedies depend on disconnected processes.

Sealed escrow creates a structural bridge between settlement and recourse.

Autonomous services lack a shared method for measuring economic activity.

Flowmeter billing measures usage where agent transactions occur.
