I really don't understand why crypto is involved in this to begin with. I can't imagine any serious person wanting to tie their inference costs to a token price.
Thinking without idiology about it, it seems to make sense to have an autonomous agent with a wallet. A requestor could send money (in whatever form) into the wallet of the agent and would buy tokens, processing time or whatever from the agent.
We have to stop this "every position I disagree with comes from ideology" line of thinking. There are good reasons to dislike crypto: environmental cost, scam omnipresence, failure to actually decentralize anything, community toxicity, etc.
The website (coralprotocol.org) is stunningly designed, but makes no reference to anyone who is actually using this. I also think the numerous references to a crypto token that is tied into this project severely undermine any research credibility.
