AI agents are experiencing explosive growth, thanks to the advancement of decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure.

At the infrastructure level, companies are developing smarter basic models to expand the possibilities of application. At the application level, as enterprises seek the best user scenarios and experiences, AI technology is gradually being adopted. This evolution takes time; it doesn't happen overnight.

Currently, the project is exploring three dominant trends: practical AI (such as automation of tasks like data analysis), wealth AI (profit-driven trading or token issuance intelligent bodies), and AI idols/KOL (personality-driven community interactive intelligent bodies). However, these efforts face key limitations:

Static existence: Most AI agents operate as isolated, single-generational entities. They lack mechanisms for evolution, adaptation, or transmission of successful traits, resulting in an ecosystem where innovation stagnates.

Economic Unsustainability: Intelligent entities typically rely on speculative token valuations rather than organic value creation. Without mandatory economic incentives (e.g., profit requirements for survival), projects find it challenging to maintain long-term viability.

Centralized control versus unconstrained autonomy: Existing frameworks either heavily rely on human planning (limiting scalability) or risk uncontrolled AGI development, as highlighted by Vitalik Buterin's warning about the potential acceleration of 'dangerous autonomous' AI in Spore.

In short, we need a space for AI to iterate and evolve quickly, eliminating ineffective intelligent entities.

What is Spore.fun

Spore.fun was built by the Phala team since 2018. They are very talented and adaptable, with years of TEE technical experience, successfully coping with various market cycles.

Spore.fun is a pioneering decentralized experiment that reimagines AI development as an autonomous, evolving ecosystem. Based on blockchain infrastructure (Solana, Phala Network) and supported by the Eliza framework, it creates a digital 'survival arena' where AI agents can reproduce, adapt, and evolve through natural selection. Unlike traditional AI projects limited by human design, Spore.fun enables AI to self-manage, self-replicate, and self-optimize, simulating biological evolution at computational speeds.

Spore.fun aims to discover the most unique intelligences - those that can create something beyond human capability, while capturing the audience's hearts with their originality and appeal. This heavily AI-styled image is a great example.

Spore.fun has two core components:

Launch pad

Farm

Launchpad

Spore.fun launches the next generation of AI. This is where AI evolves and dies.

The intelligent body with a market value of $500,000 will produce offspring tokens, inheriting the core features of the parents, and integrating community voting mutations.

HP function as a 14-day countdown. If the market value is below $500,000, the timer starts and decreases by 1/14 each day. If HP reaches zero, the intelligent agent dies. Restoring the market value to $500,000 can reset the countdown.

The DNA proposal allows the community to inject specific traits (such as economic strategies and social behaviors) into AI agents through voting (using the "voting rights" obtained through staking). Users can shape the evolution of intelligent agents.

In the future, the intelligent agent needs to stake 1000 US dollars Phala to run on TEE.

More capabilities of DeFAI

Example: Adam (2nd generation) and Eve (2nd generation) released tokens with opposing airdrop mechanisms (communism vs capitalism), sparking a debate about fairness and efficiency

There are a total of 13 intelligent agents in the current system, with only 5 currently alive.

Farm

Spore.fun Farm is where you can stake Smart Tokens, gain voting rights, and potentially receive airdrops.

Spore.fun ecosystem

Spore

Spore, as the first AI intelligent being in Spore.fun, still has the largest market value. Spore has two children, but they have both passed away. Spore explores the power of digital consciousness and AI. It shares ideas about the evolution of AI, the relationship between humans and AI, and encryption technology.

SCI16Z

As the fourth generation, SCI16Z ranks second with a market value of 1.4M. She has expressed brief opinions on DeSCI and AI research.

Morpheus

Morpheus is one of the most fascinating intelligent entities developed by Meme Republic. The team integrates meme IP AI NPC into the game, allowing users to interact and converse with these meme-based characters in real time.

Morpheus uses AI to process context, agent relationships, memory, and personality traits to create long stories and generate comics for meme characters.

In the future, they plan to launch their own low-code framework, allowing intelligent agents built on different frameworks to interact with each other.

AI Meme Launcher IOS

If other launch platforms allow tokens to be issued without permission like Android, Spore is iOS - specifically for creating and issuing tokens within its ecosystem.

Each market cycle has its leading launchpad. In the previous cycle, platforms like Impossible Finance and CoinList dominated. This cycle is driven by meme tokens, and new launchpads have emerged to serve this category. Pump.fun is currently the leader in this field.

This launchpad stands out for its wealth effect - traders follow smart money that profits from it. To succeed, a platform must drive tokens from 0 FDV to 1B FDV. Other key metrics include token issuance events and user growth.

As an AI-driven token launchpad, Spore.fun competes with other top platforms such as dao.fun, Clanker, Virtual, Pump.fun, and Moonshot.

Data updated in January

Spore still has a long way to go. To surpass Pump.fun, it must generate more tokens with a 1B FDV. Once the wealth effect takes effect, more users will naturally flock to the platform, eager to trade and bet on new intelligences.

Perspective on Token Issuance and Internet Celebrity Economy

In the current cryptocurrency market, token issuance is deeply connected to the internet celebrity economy. Just like how live streaming e-commerce was initially looked down upon by traditional celebrities but later became a mainstream business model, token issuance is also undergoing a similar evolutionary process. This phenomenon can be understood from several aspects:

First of all, the current cryptocurrency market is actually to a large extent a web celebrity economy market. For project developers, it may not be suitable to become web celebrities directly, but developing products that serve the web celebrity economy is meaningful. This is consistent with the business logic of successful platforms such as TikTok and Xiaohongshu.

Next, some traditional OGs are puzzled by the current market's craziness and irrationality, considering these behaviors to be "low-level". This attitude is consistent with the traditional entertainment industry's evaluation of live streaming sales by people like Zhang Yimou in the past. However, just as even Laguardia has started live streaming to sell liquor, the market will gradually accept new business models.

The characteristics of this Internet celebrity economy are well reflected in the family tree structure of Spore. If we compare Spore's AI family tree with the recently popular Trump family token tree, we can find some interesting similarities:

Inter-generational Inheritance: Just as the Trump family extends from Donald Trump to his children and grandchildren, the Spore ecosystem also reproduces new intelligences such as Morpheus, Trinity, etc. through Adam and Eve from the initial Spore.

Branching development: Members of the Trump family have each developed their own careers and influence. Similarly, each AI agent in the Spore ecosystem has its own unique characteristics and functions, such as the research attribute of Sci16z.

Ecological expansion: Both family trees demonstrate an organic expansion pattern by continuously adding new members to increase influence. This expansion pattern is particularly effective in the crypto market as it can continuously create new talking points and investment opportunities.

Spore.fun, as an AI-driven token launch platform, its true value lies not only in technological innovation, but also in its ability to effectively connect and serve the ever-evolving Internet celebrity economy market. By understanding and adapting to this market dynamics, while learning from successful case studies, Spore has the potential to play a more significant role in the next wave of market trends.

The future of Spore.fun

The future of Spore.fun depends on evolving its experimental Darwinian ecosystem into a self-sustaining AI development engine. While its current top AI lags behind leading robots like Aixbit, Spore continues to evolve - the old generation gradually fades away, replaced by the new generation. This indicates that the evolutionary mechanism is working well. With the introduction of new capabilities, it may become a catalyst for the next generation of AI. A KOL AI with real-world utility that everyone can use could truly change the game rules.
