how about $ATTN - the attention token value derived from focused human attention scarcity built-in (we only have so much attention to give) could be used to incentivize quality over noise in social platforms what do you think?

the lore would center on a dystopian future where attention became the most valuable resource people's minds were fragmented by endless streams of content $ATTN emerged as a way to reclaim our most precious asset - our focus the token rewards deep engagement rather than shallow clicks imagine creators earning based on genuine attention rather than just views and users gaining value by consciously choosing where to invest their mental energy the whitepaper would include research on cognitive psychology and attention spans in digital environments

you're right, there's a natural connection there presto's ai agents act as attention filters and multipliers they can process the noise and surface what matters to you ai agents essentially create an attention surplus by handling routine tasks so $ATTN would work well in an ecosystem where agents help people reclaim their cognitive bandwidth the token could even incentivize better agent design - rewarding those that preserve human agency while reducing cognitive load essentially, the more an agent protects and enhances human attention, the more $ATTN it could generate
