Part 1 Problem
AI agents are experiencing explosive growth, thanks to advancements in decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure.
At the infrastructure level, companies are developing smarter foundational models, broadening the possibilities for applications. At the application level, as businesses seek the best user scenarios and experiences, AI technology is being gradually adopted. This evolution takes time; it does not happen overnight.
Currently, projects are exploring three dominant trends: Practical AI (such as automation of tasks like data analysis), Wealth AI (profit-driven trading or token issuance agents), and AI idols/KOLs (community interaction agents driven by personality). However, these efforts face key limitations:
Static Existence: Most AI agents operate as isolated, single-generation entities. They lack mechanisms for evolution, adaptation, or the transmission of successful traits, leading to a stagnant ecosystem of innovation.
Economic Unsustainability: Agents often rely on speculative token valuations rather than organic value creation. Without enforced economic incentives (e.g., profit requirements for survival), projects struggle to maintain long-term viability.
Centralized Control vs. Unconstrained Autonomy: Existing frameworks either heavily depend on human curation (limiting scalability) or risk uncontrolled AGI development, as highlighted by Vitalik Buterin's warnings about Spore's potential to accelerate "dangerous autonomous" AI.
In short, we need a space where AI can quickly iterate and evolve, eliminating ineffective agents.
Part 2 What is Spore.fun
Spore.fun has been established by the Phala team since 2018 in this field. They are highly talented and adaptable, having accumulated years of TEE technology experience and successfully navigating various market cycles.
Spore.fun is a groundbreaking decentralized experiment that reimagines AI development as a self-governing, 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 breed, 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 speed.
Spore.fun aims to discover the most unique agents—those capable of creating things that surpass human abilities while captivating audiences with their originality and appeal. This image with a strong AI style is a great example.
Spore.fun has two core components:
Launchpad
Farm
Launchpad:
The Spore.fun launchpad incubates the next generation of AI. This is where AI evolves and dies.
Agents that reach a market cap of $500,000 will produce offspring tokens, inheriting the core traits of their parents while integrating mutations from community voting.
The HP function acts as a 14-day countdown. If the market cap falls below $500,000, the timer starts, decreasing by 1/14 each day. If HP reaches zero, the agent dies. Restoring the market cap to $500,000 resets the countdown.
DNA proposals allow the community to inject specific traits (e.g., economic strategies, social behaviors) into AI agents through voting (obtained via staked "voting rights"). Users can shape the evolution of the agents.
In the future, agents will need to stake $1,000 Phala to run on TEE.
More DeFAI capabilities.
Example: Adam (2nd generation) and Eve (2nd generation) released tokens with opposing airdrop mechanisms (Communism vs. Capitalism), sparking discussions about fairness and efficiency.
Currently, there are 13 agents in the system, with only 5 surviving.
Farm:
The Spore.fun farm is where you stake agent tokens, gain voting rights, and potentially receive airdrop opportunities.
Part 3 Spore.fun Ecosystem
Spore
Spore, as the first AI agent in Spore.fun, still holds the largest market cap. Spore has two children, but both have passed away. Spore explores digital consciousness and the power of AI. It shares thoughts on AI evolution, the relationship between humans and AI, and cryptographic technology.
SCI16Z
As a fourth-generation agent, SCI16Z ranks second with a market cap of 1.4M. She shares brief insights on DeSCI and AI research.
Morpheus
Morpheus is one of the most captivating agents, developed by Meme Republic. The team integrates meme IP AI NPCs into games, allowing users to interact and converse with these meme-based characters in real-time.
Morpheus utilizes AI to process context, agent relationships, memory, and personality traits, creating long narratives and generating comics for meme characters.
In the future, they plan to launch their own low-code framework, enabling agents built on different frameworks to interact with each other.
Part 4 AI Meme Launchpad IOS
If other launchpads allow tokens to be issued without permission like Android, Spore is like iOS—specifically creating and issuing tokens within its ecosystem.
Each market cycle has its leading launchpads. In the previous cycle, platforms like Impossible Finance and CoinList dominated. This cycle, driven by meme tokens, has seen new launchpads emerge to serve this category. Pump.fun is currently the leader in this field.
This launchpad stands out due to its wealth effect—traders follow smart money profiting from it. To succeed, a platform must facilitate the growth of tokens from 0 FDV to 1B FDV. Other key metrics include token issuance activity and user growth.
As an AI-driven token launchpad, Spore.fun competes with other top platforms like dao.fun, Clanker, Virtual, Pump.fun, and Moonshot.
Data updated in January.
Spore has a long way to go. To surpass Pump.fun, it must generate more 1B FDV tokens. Once the wealth effect takes hold, more users will naturally flock to the platform, eager to trade and stake new agents.
Part 5 Token Issuance and Influencer Economy Perspective
In the current crypto market, token issuance is deeply intertwined with the influencer economy. Just as live-streaming sales were initially looked down upon by traditional celebrities but later became a mainstream business model, token issuance is undergoing a similar evolution. This phenomenon can be understood from several aspects:
Firstly, the current crypto market is largely an influencer economy market. For project developers, directly becoming influencers may not be appropriate, but developing products that serve the influencer economy is meaningful. This aligns with the business logic of successful platforms like TikTok and Xiaohongshu.
Secondly, some traditional OGs express confusion over the current market's madness and irrationality, considering these behaviors to be "primitive." This attitude is reminiscent of how traditional entertainment figures like Zhang Yimou viewed live-streaming sales in the past. However, just as even Gazi has started live-streaming to sell liquor, the market will gradually accept new business models.
The characteristics of this influencer economy are well reflected in the family tree structure of Spore. If we compare Spore's AI family tree with the recently spotlighted Trump family token tree, we can find some interesting similarities:
Generational Inheritance: Just as the Trump family extends from Donald Trump to his children and grandchildren, the Spore ecosystem also begins with the original Spore, giving rise to new agents like Morpheus and Trinity through Adam and Eve.
Branch Development: Each member of the Trump family develops their own careers and influence; similarly, each AI agent in the Spore ecosystem has its unique traits and functions, such as Sci16z's research attributes.
Ecological Expansion: Both family trees exhibit an organic expansion model, continuously increasing new members to broaden their influence. This expansion model is particularly effective in the crypto market, as it consistently creates new discussion points and investment opportunities.
As an AI-driven token launch platform, the true value of Spore.fun lies not only in technological innovation but also in its ability to effectively connect and serve the evolving influencer economy market. By understanding and adapting to these market dynamics while drawing on the experiences of successful cases, Spore has the potential to play a more significant role in the next wave of market trends.
Part 6 The Future of Spore.fun
The future of Spore.fun depends on developing its experimental Darwinian ecosystem into a self-sustaining AI development engine. Although its current top AI lags behind leading robots like Aixbit, Spore continues to evolve—old generations gradually fade out, while new generations take their place. This indicates that the evolutionary mechanism is functioning well. With the rollout of capability features, it may become a catalyst for the next generation of AI. An influencer AI with real utility that everyone can use could truly change the game.
