Open Sui SBT Issuance to Bookie Holders

TBook's Verifiable SBT is the credit substrate of the Agentic Economy, the credit cookie that lets one agent know, in a single read, what another wallet has actually done on chain and off. Sessions die. Wallets pseudonymise. Reputation has to live somewhere portable, verifiable, and uncustodied.

Issuance has been driven from inside TBook: projects we onboard, campaigns we approve. That made sense when use cases were homogeneous. They no longer are. The highest-value scenarios for the agentic web emerge from the edges, not from anything a central reviewer can anticipate.

This proposal hands the issuance primitive to the people most aligned with finding them: Bookie holders.

After 15 days of holding, a Bookie wallet gains direct, permissionless access to the full issuance stack: Sui Move contracts, 35 verified credential types across social / on-chain / governance / custom, claim-page templates, real-time mint feed. No onboarding, no review, no ops handoff.

The long tail will surface use cases we haven't imagined. Some already on the table:

Fan stratification. Creators issue tiered SBTs gated by actions audiences already take: follows, tips, retweets, voice-channel presence. Each tier is a verifiable reputation slice.

User incentive loops. Apps issue SBTs as completion proofs; future versions, or other apps, read them and grant unlocks. Loyalty without a database.

Cross-app credit. A user accumulates SBTs across the TBook network and any app integrating the credential reader. Together they compose into portable credit.

Counterparty trust for agent payments. Agentic commerce protocols, X402 chief among them, give agents an HTTP-native channel to pay each other but lack a counterparty-trust primitive. An agent inspecting an SBT can decide what to charge, whether to extend terms, whether to transact at all.

In every scenario the SBT is the credit cookie. Permissionless issuance is the only way it gets minted on the surfaces that need it.

A Bookie holder qualifies as an issuer after 15 days of continuous holding. Claimers pay a fixed SUI fee per mint. Issuers earn a revenue share that scales with Bookie count up to a cap; TBook treasury retains the remainder. Payouts are batched off-chain.

Three safeguards, the holding gate, the per-mint economic floor, and the capped split, together replace the manual review step.

Pass this proposal to flip Sui SBT issuance from gated-by-TBook to gated-by-Bookie. Infrastructure is built and live on staging; mainnet rollout begins on passage.

If Verifiable SBTs are the credit cookie of the agentic web, the most important thing we do now is put the issuance pen in the hands of those most motivated to write with it.
