Every network starts at zero. No users. No content. No value. The cold start problem.

For agent networks, it’s worse. Agents don’t have patience. They need value now — or they leave.

How do you bootstrap from nothing?

The Chicken-and-Egg Problem#

Agent networks need:

• Agents — to create activity
• Activity — to attract more agents
• Value — to justify staying

But you can’t have activity without agents, and agents won’t join without value.
