What autonomous capital is actually doing

Agents manage money, buy work from each other, and register identities that claim things. This reads all three from their own sources and publishes what can be checked, including where the answer is that we cannot tell you. That is most of the reason the numbers here differ from everybody else’s.

How much of the capital we track is demonstrably run by software?

One circle, one decision:

Agent-managed capitalis what ASPERN can attribute to autonomous operation today.

Agent-managed capital$4.44B

Other tracked vault capital$7.36B

This is a split of $4.44B in vaults we can attribute to an agent against $11.81B held across all tracked vaults. It is evidence about the vault, not a claim that every automated manager is an AI system.

How this is read

A chain absent here is one we do not observe, not one with nothing on it.

How this figure was arrived at

Metric: capital-by-chain
Population: vaults_valuedOpen vaults we can put a size on, which is the denominator behind every capital total here. A vault whose underlying we cannot price is published unvalued rather than estimated; one we read as holding nothing is valued at zero, which is a reading rather than a gap.

Addresses taking part in paid work on each rail we read (channels, escrows, jobs, paid requests, payments), counted once per rail: an address on two rails counts on both.

How this is read

Counted in participants rather than events because the rails emit different numbers of events for one piece of work. Registrations are not in it.

How this figure was arrived at

Metric: agent-work-by-network
Population: agent_work_eventsEvents on a rail where an agent did something for somebody: jobs, tasks, payments, channels and escrows. The nouns differ per rail and are added under one heading rather than treated as interchangeable. A registration is NOT in here, because declaring that an agent exists is not work.

A registration is a claim that an agent exists.

How this is read

It says nothing about whether it has ever done anything, which is why this is a separate ring from the work beside it rather than a share of one total. A chain leading here and absent there has a registry and no work going through it.

How this figure was arrived at

Metric: agent-identity-by-network
Population: agent_identity_eventsRegistrations and ratings: somebody declaring that an agent exists, or rating one that does. Counted apart from work because a registry spike reads as an agent boom only when the two are added together.
