NFTs are not just digital art: Will smart agents be the next trend?

Intelligent agents are like digital assistants that can remember and utilize the interaction experiences with users, perfectly showcasing the three core characteristics of NFTs: exclusivity, upgradability, and provenance.

In today's digital age, NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have become a hot topic. To understand the value of NFTs, we can think of them as "special items" in the digital world, possessing characteristics similar to those of items in the real world.

Let's start with the common example of buying a house. When we purchase a house, we receive a property deed, which can prove who the previous owners of the house were (provenance). As homeowners, we can use the house exclusively and have the right to prevent others from entering at will (exclusivity). Moreover, if we renovate the house or make other improvements, these changes will remain with the house (upgradability). Ordinary digital items cannot achieve these, but NFTs can simulate these three core characteristics.

Currently, NFTs have primarily achieved product-market fit in the art field, but mostly only utilizing the characteristics of provenance and exclusivity. For example, Botto's work "Asymmetrical Liberation" relies on the provenance capability of NFTs to prove it as the first piece generated during Botto's "Genesis Period," with the holder having exclusive control over it. However, like physical artworks, the owner cannot modify the work itself. There has been little exploration of NFTs in terms of "upgradability," with the closest application being game NFTs, such as players upgrading characters in games. However, this characteristic is still severely underestimated.

A more innovative application scenario is using NFTs for intelligent agents. Intelligent agents are like digital assistants that can remember interaction experiences with users, perfectly showcasing the three core characteristics of NFTs:

  • Exclusivity: NFT holders have exclusive access to the agent's memory.
  • Upgradability: Each time an NFT holder uses the agent, its memory updates, accumulating exclusive experiences and remembering the holder's optimization adjustments.
  • Provenance: The agent is used solely by the NFT holder, so its past ownership records can showcase its accumulated experiences, equivalent to a "resume."

For example, if the famous writer Tolkien had used a certain intelligent agent to write "The Hobbit," this intelligent agent with special experiences would hold unique value for new writers looking to create fantasy novels. This is because it not only accumulated experiences from Tolkien's writing but also those experiences are unique and cannot be replicated.

Although most agents may be more suitable as public-facing API services, similar to SaaS products, intelligent agent NFTs are more like racehorses: their value comes from who the previous trainers were, the accumulated training results will always be retained, and only one owner can use it at a time. Currently, companies like Plastic Labs are developing underlying technologies to support such intelligent agent NFTs.

This innovative model combining NFTs with intelligent agents not only expands the application boundaries of digital assets but also brings new design ideas to software development and artificial intelligence fields. As technology continues to evolve, we may see more personalized and market-valuable intelligent agent applications emerge.
