iE Research Notes
An iEthereum Periodica series
Public explanations of settlement systems, market formation, and digital commodity structure. These notes examine how financial infrastructure evolves and why legitimacy precedes liquidity.
Written as field-level observations rather than advocacy, iE Research Notes follow the structural progression from commodity definition and monetary layering to neutrality, settlement pressure, and the eventual need for formal measurement. The series is published on an ongoing basis as developments warrant examination.
