# Economic space agent

Economic space agent has the same capacities as an economic agent, but follows a set of protocols that enable it to create relational value forms, liquidity, and risk-sharing through commodity (performance) tokens, liquidity tokens and stake tokens. Via a distributed payments and settlement protocol, they can issue and clear credit among each other by issuing liquidity tokens, denominated in a shared unit of account with a parity exchange agreement. Via a distributed risk sharing protocol, agents can issue a stake in the output (performance) of an economic space agent; it serves as a collateral for liquidity tokens and determines the size of the reciprocal credit line. Together these protocols make a formal economic grammar through which the economic space agents relate to each other: a new economic language for expressing economic-organizational relations.
