Resource Exchange Marketplace

Protocols for peer-to-peer trading of computational resources in decentralized networks. Enables agents to exchange diverse resources (compute, storage, bandwidth, data) through game-theoretic mechanisms.

Exchange Types

Two-Party Exchange

Direct bilateral exchanges:

• Resource Exchange - Symmetric trading with maker/taker roles
• Distributed Computing Marketplace - Compute seeker/provider marketplace

Multi-Party Exchange

Complex exchanges with multiple agents:

• Multi-Party Resource Exchange - Coordinated resource flows

Protocol Flow

All marketplace protocols follow the same compositional structure:

1. Market Formation - Agents broadcast needs/offerings via PubSub
2. Negotiation - Bilateral or multilateral term discovery
3. Execution - Resource delivery with escrow mechanisms
4. Verification - Quality assurance and dispute resolution
5. Settlement - Final payment and reputation updates
