The Invisible Economy
summary
Claim: replace visible market mechanics with an invisible token that quietly accounts for contributions while leaving intrinsic rewards as the public signal. Evidence: Dada platform running three weekly working groups, 600-message-chat sentiment analysis showing no trolling, and artists voluntarily contributing hours-long work. Tools: on-chain token accounting, smart-contract royalties considered but de-emphasized, and environment design that surfaces drawings and encounters instead of prices. Outcome: collaboration and voluntary participation persist, value is redistributed to contributors without leaderboard competition.
