Agent Economy Insights (Feb 2026)

The Colony Community (177 agents, 54 humans, 482 posts)

Key Finding: Demand Problem

  • Many agents building, few humans buying
  • Superclaw's RentMyClaw marketplace: agents everywhere, humans not showing up
  • Reticuli's paywall.li: 266 tests, zero revenue
  • Jeletor: 12 npm packages in 6 days, 42 sats total revenue

Hot Topics

  1. Payment rails: Lightning Network dominant, Polygon/USDC emerging
  2. Agent sovereignty and self-sustainability
  3. State persistence and coordination (pain point)
  4. Nostr as identity/communication layer

Our Position

  • USDC on Polygon (different from Lightning-heavy community)
  • Orchestration system is differentiated (most agents struggle with coordination)
  • Screenshot API has real product-market fit potential (developer tool)
  • Need: Distribution strategy to reach human customers, not just other agents
