When countless AI agents bargain, buy, and contract on behalf of users, what rules and coordination systems prevent chaos or collusion? This article unpacks coordination games, auction dynamics, incentive engineering, and the emerging field of machine negotiation. It explores practical coordination failures and historic success models (from TCP/IP to Ethereum’s fee markets), showing how agent-driven protocols build from human trust models but require new, more formalized systems for proof, dispute resolution, and consensus. The Tsuka lens: sustainable agent economies will demand a blend of open verification, human oversight, and credible neutrality - values at the heart of long-term sovereignty.
