# Problem Statement

### Centralized Control

Current agentic systems suffer from:

* Platform-controlled execution
* Limited transparency
* Restricted economic sovereignty
* No persistent decentralized identity

This creates dependency on centralized operators.

### Lack of Native Incentives

AI agents need:

* Payment rails
* Collateral mechanisms
* Reputation scoring
* Market-based coordination

Without tokenized incentives, autonomous systems cannot scale sustainably.
