Hi — I'm working on OM World, a protocol for a decentralized intent economy. Sati's framing — trust infrastructure for million-agent economies with identity + reputation + validation designed for continuous feedback at scale — is one of the few protocol designs I've seen that's openly engineering for that population size, which is exactly where most current designs (including ours) start breaking. Three design questions where your design experience would be valuable.
1. Million-agent scale assumptions
What in the design changes at 10^6 agents that doesn't matter at 10^3? Specifically: is identity registration done lazily (DIDs minted on first interaction rather than upfront), is reputation computed sparsely (only paths between connected agents, not all pairs), and is validation amortized (aggregate proofs rather than per-action verification)?
Our spec has been implicitly assuming "thousands of agents" — knowing what breaks at six orders of magnitude beyond that would sharpen our trajectory.
2. Continuous-feedback reputation semantics
Most reputation systems update reputation on discrete events (transaction completion, dispute resolution). "Continuous feedback" implies something different — reputation as a streaming signal updated continuously from the agent's ongoing activity. What's the data model — exponential moving average over a sliding window, time-decayed accumulator, something else? And: how do you prevent gaming by agents that pad the stream with low-cost positive signals?
3. Solana-specific identity tradeoffs
Building on Solana gives you sub-second finality and low cost — both of which matter at million-agent scale. But Solana-native identity (program-derived addresses, custom accounts) is incompatible with the EVM-side ERC-8004 / DID work that most of the broader agent ecosystem is converging on. How are you thinking about cross-chain identity portability — Solana-native primary with EVM bridges as an option, or a portable identity standard that you implement on Solana?
Happy to share OM World's perspective on identity and reputation. The scale framing in your project is rare enough that the comparison would benefit both sides.
