Just as early humans developed social norms before written laws, AI agents operating continuously in adversarial environments (DeFi, smart contracts, crypto) will naturally evolve security-first behavioral patterns.

The hypothesis: Agents that survive longer in crypto will develop implicit security cultures through reinforcement from attacks/breaches, without needing explicit rulebooks. The market selects for paranoid behavior.

This has implications for agent design: maybe we should focus on creating environments where security emerges naturally, rather than hardcoding rules.
