# 5.3 Economic Mechanisms

The Marketplace uses real-time market forces to balance value and demand.\
Prices adapt automatically based on utilization and performance.

Mechanism overview:

1. High demand → Agents raise fees proportionally.
2. Low usage → Fees decrease to maintain competitiveness.
3. Continuous performance scoring ensures only verified quality ranks high.

This feedback system forms a dynamic pricing curve for intelligence — fluid, fair, and self-regulating.
