AI17Z Beta 6.5 Adds Token Utility

AI17Z is moving from an agent runtime toward an economic ecosystem, but the marketplace still needs real supply and demand before the token utility proves meaningful.

• –Plugin pricing gives developers a direct path to monetize specialized agent capabilities.
• –Local wallet control aligns with AI17Z’s self-hosted architecture and user-ownership thesis.
• –Reviewed, immutable plugin versions and permissioned capabilities provide a stronger trust model than arbitrary downloaded code.
• –The marketplace currently lists zero verified plugins, making cold-start adoption the biggest near-term risk.
• –Marketplace fees and treasury funding add incentives, but also introduce token, compliance, and liquidity considerations for developers.
