Markets

Protocol-defined execution contexts with their own policy and accounting, derived from execution and verified against canonical registry state.

Markets are protocol-defined execution contexts with their own policy and accounting. A market is not a user-chosen label; it is derived from what a transaction executed, and it is verified against canonical registry state.

Markets also provide the protocol surface for bootstrapping: new markets can start sparse and fragmented yet still be scored and incentivized safely via market-relative teleport (seeds) and credit-like reward funding (MarketVaults) with repayment sourced from market fees.

What lives here

  • Market identity and enforcement: how a transaction’s market is derived from execution and verified against canonical registry state.
  • Commitment hooks: how market tables and fee attribution are bound into epoch commitments.
  • Bootstrapping and credit: how early markets can be seeded and funded, with repayment sourced from market fee cashflows.
