This addresses the principal-agent problem where strategy creators could exploit trust by changing behavior after attracting deposits. -The proposed mechanism operates at the infrastructure level rather than through governance votes or social coordination. Creators iterate freely in staging environments, but the act of publishing to the marketplace would trigger an irreversible lock. This creates a clean separation between experimentation (mutable staging) and production (immutable live). +While smart contract immutability is standard in DeFi protocols (e.g., Uniswap pools, Compound markets), applying this to agent *strategies* (which typically remain under creator control) represents a different trust model. The novelty is not immutability itself, but its application to strategy logic that users rent based on past performance. -## Theoretical Foundation +The mechanism combines: +- Immutable strategy logic (no post-deployment changes) +- TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) execution for verifiable computation +- Performance-based discovery (users select strategies by track record) +- Revenue sharing between strategy creators and users -The claim rests on the assumption that strategy mutability creates adverse selection in agent marketplaces. If creators can modify logic post-publication, rational renters cannot trust historical performance as a signal of future returns. The immutability constraint would make past performance a more credible signal by ensuring the strategy that generated the track record is the same strategy renters will execute. +## Critical implementation gaps -This mirrors the problem that futarchy-governed liquidation addresses for ICOs: making commitments credible through architectural enforcement rather than reputation or legal recourse. +The proposal doesn't address: +- How strategies handle protocol upgrades or security patches +- Whether immutability applies to parameter tuning or only core logic +- Sybil resistance (creators launching many strategies, hiding failures) +- Migration paths when underlying DeFi protocols change -## Critical Implementation Gaps +## Evidence and context -The source provides no implementation details about how immutability would be enforced technically. Key unanswered questions: +Runbook.ai attempted to raise $350,000 through a futarchy mechanism but achieved only $3,600 in commitments, suggesting limited market validation of the model. -- How does the system prevent creators from deploying functionally identical strategies under new identities? -- What happens when strategies depend on external data sources or oracles that creators control? -- Can creators withdraw strategies from the marketplace, and if so, what happens to active renters? -- How does immutability interact with necessary updates (security patches, protocol migrations)? -- What prevents creators from simply deploying a new version as a separate strategy? +The immutability constraint trades adaptability for credibility—strategies cannot evolve with market conditions, but users gain certainty about what they're renting. -The failed futarchy raise ($3,600 of $350,000) suggests the market did not find this value proposition compelling, though it's unclear whether skepticism centered on immutability specifically or other aspects of the design. +## Related concepts -## Relationship to Existing Mechanisms +- [[core/mechanisms/_map|Mechanism design patterns]] +- [[core/living-agents/_map|Living agents overview]] +- [[core/internet-finance/_map|Internet finance systems]] -This claim extends the anti-rug enforcement logic from futarchy-governed ICOs to agent strategy marketplaces. Where ownership coins use market-governed liquidation to make treasury commitments credible, RunBookAI proposes using code immutability to make strategy commitments credible. +## Source -The difference: futarchy enforcement is continuous (markets can force liquidation at any time), while strategy immutability would be one-time (lock happens at publication).
