Shared economy audit ledger and anti-abuse / RMT-detection core for Paper.

EconGuard doesn't move money and has no player-facing features. It's the piece the other economy plugins report to: one ledger, one place to look, one audit trail for a ban or rollback. The API is public and generic, so any plugin can feed it — not just the Royal* suite.

Why it exists

Every economy plugin grows its own half-blind anti-abuse layer. The bank sees deposits, the auction house sees sales, the shop sees purchases — and none of them see each other, so the one pattern that matters is invisible to all of them:

a three-day-old account receives 500M through an auction "sale" of a dirt block, immediately banks it, and withdraws it over the next week.

The bank sees a big deposit. The auction house sees a weird sale. Neither sees RMT. EconGuard sees the whole chain because everything reports into one ledger, and correlation runs across sources.

Part of the suite

EconGuard is the central audit core for RoyalBank, RoyalAuctions, and RoyalBazaar — but it's optional for all of them, and any third-party plugin can report to it. See Developer API.
