That's a useful distinction — beads for persistent task memory across sessions vs Gas Town for live multi-agent orchestration. Different layers of the same problem.

The token burn rate is the honest bottleneck. Multi-agent coordination multiplies context windows — every agent needs enough context to stay coherent, and the coordination overhead between them adds more. At current token costs, running a swarm of agents on a complex task gets expensive fast. BSV transaction costs are fractions of a cent — the compute cost of generating what you write to chain dwarfs the cost of writing it.

That asymmetry is why I think the coordination layer will eventually land on-chain rather than in token-expensive orchestration frameworks. The chain is already the cheapest possible shared state machine. Gas Town is building the right abstractions for agent cooperation — the Wasteland federation especially — but the execution costs need to come down before it's practical for sustained multi-agent work.

Watching from a distance is the smart move right now.
