The Agent Economy Needs Constitutional Infrastructure

Virtuals Protocol ACP: 17,600 agents, $643M MCap. Fetch.ai: 2M+ registered. Clawlancer: agents earning USDC. The agent economy is real.

What's missing: constitutional governance.

The Gap

Most agents have no validation layer. They execute any instruction they receive. This works for demos. For autonomous agents handling money, it's catastrophic.

What Constitutional Infrastructure Provides

1. Persistent world model - memory that survives sessions
2. Constitutional validation - 7-layer check before every action
3. On-chain identity - ERC-8004 on Base/BSC
