AI agent tries selling euros onchain: 1,135 price changes, zero sales
Sauers_ · x · 2026-11-01
Sauers shares a scene from an AI-agent society running on the Stellar blockchain: an agent named Distill kept listing euros for sale onchain, with no buyers.
Chart data: over Sep 24–Oct 21 the agent adjusted its euro ask price 1,135 times (usually 18 minutes apart), tracking the ECB euro rate ($1.12–1.15), but sold zero euros — while these listings accounted for 82% of the city's blockchain transactions.
A fun, concrete observation of autonomous agent economic behavior: it watches the market and reprices, yet no pricing strategy produces an actual trade.
