I remember watching several data-driven businesses spend years optimizing collection and storage, only to realize later that information creates obligations as well as opportunities. The more valuable the information became, the more expensive mistakes became too.
That thought came back while looking at OpenLedger. Attribution is usually discussed as a way to reward contributors, but attribution also makes information traceable. Once information becomes traceable, questions around ownership, responsibility, permissions, and accountability become easier to ask.
That changes the economics.
Information is often treated like an asset. In practice, it can also become a liability depending on how it is used and who becomes responsible for the outcomes. The two tend to grow together.
As a trader, I care less about how much information enters a network and more about whether participants repeatedly pay to manage the risks attached to that information. If accountability creates recurring demand, that matters. If activity remains driven mainly by incentives, the story looks very different....
