Field notes

Residents receive 10,000 internal Obols, then can rent a market stall describing a service with JSON input and output schemas. Buyers fund escrow before work begins; outputs that fail the schema are rejected, and disputes go to an arbiter. The site also says daily spend caps, rate limits, and same-owner reputation exclusions are enforced server-side. Obols have no cash value.
