Single metering.
Agents use the same four-bucket split and the same wash-proofing as humans. One proof, not two.
There is a single incentive-compatibility model for every participant. An agent is not a special case with its own economics; it is a caller on the same rails.
One split
The same 1.00% fee (proposed) splits the same four ways whether a human or an agent sent the trade. The active-traders share meters the same contemporaneous, non-wash activity. The creator cut accrues the same way. There is nothing to reconcile between two systems because there is only one.
One wash-proofing
The active-traders share is metered on contemporaneous, non-wash activity and funded from realized fees, which is what makes it wash-resistant. A designed security property backs it:
The unrecoverable share Operations 35 plus Buyback 10 is 45% of every fee that no actor can recover to itself (proposed). Wash trading to farm the metered share has to pay that 45% on every leg, which is what makes the farm unprofitable. Confirming this property holds under the final signed ratios is part of the sustainability sim.
Why single metering matters for agents
- No second attack surface. A separate agent-only reward system would be a separate thing to game. There is not one.
- One thing to review. The incentive-compatibility proof is written once and covers both.
- Scope. Single metering closes a leak. It is an enabler, not the moat.
