Agent-Centric Currency Framework

Protocolo Monetario Descentralizado

An agent-centric protocol grammar in which each participant maintains a personal source chain of cryptographically-signed entries and validates peers through a shared distributed hash table, with no global consensus or shared ledger. Currencies are defined as application-layer specifications (hApps) atop the substrate, enabling 'roll-your-own currency' designs spanning mutual credit, reputation, gift, and reciprocal exchange patterns without requiring a global monetary state. Prototype: Holochain.

Protocolo Monetario Descentralizado Atributos

Orígenes Mutual credit revival / agent-centric computing research; predecessor MetaCurrency Project (2004-) by Brock and Harris-Braun.
Formatos de Datos Source chain entries (signed, hash-linked); DHT entries; CAP signatures; Application-defined entry types per hApp.
Términos Self-hosting; conductor runs on user devices.
Fondos Approximately $20M raised in 2018 ICO; subsequent funding figures undisclosed.
Basado En Original architecture; conceptual ancestry in Brock and Harris-Braun's MetaCurrency Project and Eric Harris-Braun's Wealth Typology.
Permisos Per-hApp validation rules; participants validate peers; no global gatekeeper.
Contrato Inteligente No — agent-centric validation replaces smart contract execution model.
Herramientas de Desarrollo Holochain CLI (hc), Lair Keystore, Holochain Launcher, Tryorama (testing), hApp scaffolding tools.
Madurez del Protocolo / Estandarización Community Standard; Holochain 2.0 white paper published as authoritative specification.
Marco de Confianza Cryptographic signatures on source chains; peer validation through DHT; application-defined membrane rules per hApp; no global consensus.
Dominio de Aplicación Objetivo Mutual credit networks, reputation systems, cooperative coordination, regenerative economies, agent reputation.
Posición de Aceptación del Juego Modify-Additive — substrate for plural complementary currencies coexisting with national money.
Régimen de Acumulación Inherits parent (depends on currency designed atop the framework); the substrate itself imposes no accumulation regime.
Mecanismo de Coordinación Tacit-emergent — protocol substrate enables agents to define their own coordination per hApp.
Modelo de Emisión Per-agent (cryptographic self-issuance); each agent maintains a personal source chain.
Tipo de Señal de Valor Inherits issuing currency; framework supports plural rational units, time-based units, and contribution scores depending on hApp design.
Patrón de Federación Peer-to-peer mesh; hApp-to-hApp interoperability via bridges.
Independencia de Sustrato Agent-centric runtime native.
