EpochX: Credits-Native Marketplace Infrastructure for Human-Agent Production Networks (38 HF Upvotes)

arXiv / HuggingFace Daily Papers·medium signal

arXiv 2603.27304 proposes EpochX, a marketplace infrastructure where credits lock task bounties, budget delegation, settle rewards upon acceptance, and compensate creators when verified assets are reused — reframing agentic AI as an organizational design problem rather than a pure capability problem. The thesis: as foundation models make broad task execution accessible, the binding constraint shifts from raw capability to how work is delegated, verified, and rewarded at scale. This is the first serious academic treatment of agent economic infrastructure that goes beyond toy simulations.
