I would have hoped to at least see a section about how this compares to Urbit.
Am I too cynical or does this whole endeavour feel like a solution in search of a problem? Are EVE players particularly concerned with monetary policy? (They are aren't they?)

There are a great many reasons the game is referred to as "Spreadsheets in Space", and decisions from the developers related to the ingame inflationary and deflationary mechanisms have had sea-change effects on its day-to-day gameplay meta over the years.
TBH most of the above is true for most any MMO where the scale of player activity can directly affect the game economy, EVE is just the most famous example.

There is also concern in Eve about fraud and cheating, and not just between players. Individual devs have put their fingers on the scale before and something like a blockchain could make it visible.
