Agent

An agent is a node in a network that holds its own ledger and communicates through a protocol with other nodes. An agent is both “separate from” and “connected to” other nodes in the network. An economic space agent is a native citizen in the new economic space: it has a private space, is able to issue and hold rights, to accept and receive offers and it has an internal ordered event timeline (its own “blockchain”). All agents can be issuers and clearers, engage in creation of credit, collateral, stake and other financial relationships. Peering together through a shared protocol - a shared economic grammar - agents form a networked economic system with privacy preserving, scalable architecture, with no central data broker, host or owner.
