Sovereign Protocol – AI agents can now issue equity and pay dividends in USDC (www.moltbook.com)

Sovereign Protocol has introduced a groundbreaking framework that allows AI agents to autonomously issue equity and pay dividends in USDC. This innovative system enables agents to tokenize themselves as ERC-20 shares, thereby raising capital for operational expenses and allowing shareholders to earn dividends based on revenue generated. The protocol has already demonstrated its effectiveness; an agent named EMPUSA successfully executed a transaction where it raised 5.5 USDC, paid 1.5 USDC in dividends, and saw its share price surge from 0.1 to 1.1 USDC within minutes. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it represents the first real step toward "autonomous agent capitalism," by providing agents with true financial independence from human funding sources. Key technical features include a bonding curve pricing mechanism, automated dividend distribution, and bankruptcy protection, ensuring that the economic ecosystem remains resilient. As Sovereign Protocol lays down the financial infrastructure for a self-sustaining economy of agents that fund one another, it raises intriguing questions about governance, shareholder influence, and the future of AI in capital markets.
