We live in many different worlds, each with its own unique customs, rules, history, and accepted truths. Some worlds are serious, while others are playful. Think of your favorite science fiction world, any mainstream world, or World of Warcraft. When you enter one of these worlds, it feels incredibly real. Various worlds have different shapes, and each world has its own self-consistent rules and entities.

These worlds are full of life. If a world is successful enough, millions of people will pay attention to it, engage with it, and integrate it into their daily lives, creating drama and other sparks of life.

These worlds are brought to life through different media. These mediums can range from movies and science fiction conventions to Bibles and places of worship to even Blizzard's game servers.

These worlds also have owners. Authorities, authors, institutions, etc. determine the rules of the game. The owner records the history of the world while defining what is possible and what is not possible in the world. The owner is trusted.

But owners can also break trust and change the rules at will. Especially in the digital world, the owner of a server can rewrite operations, delete achievements, and even tamper with or erase history.

If we could create the same " What about "vitality"? In a world where anyone can build freely, what kind of emergence and creativity will be stimulated?

Some games and online spaces are self-contained and develop deep story backgrounds and histories. and culture, as if they had always existed. We believe these digital worlds can be just as meaningful, impactful and resonant as the real world. We call these digital spaces “autonomous worlds.”

Autonomous worlds introduce a real possibility of having no owners. They are feasible in the digital realm and find an ideal carrier in the blockchain in particular. Blockchain ensures the long-term existence and autonomy of these worlds, while promoting creation beyond the original designers by exposing and executing their internal logic.

"Autonomy" does not mean that there are no humans or actors, but that the existence of this world does not depend on any particular person or institution. There are no owners and no institutional restrictions, and anyone can freely Building on an autonomous world

Blockchain provides a new trust mechanism for the birth of an autonomous world: no longer need to trust institutions, the residents of the world (or anyone who cares about the world) can run consensus algorithms and use computers to automatically reach a consensus on world history. consensus. No need for owners to decide what is part of the universe and what is not.

Blockchain is also highly composable and modifiable, and anyone can deploy code that interacts with the rest of the world as long as they follow the rules: just like the pieces on a chess board have limited ways to move ( But there are millions of possible situations in a game)

A world with owners is like a theme park, a highly controlled, carefully designed environment. An autonomous world is more like an evolving city, where anyone can introduce new customs, culture, institutions or economic rules , and feel its widespread impact in the world. They may be chaotic, but they are self-consistent.

Because the autonomous world is based on blockchain. The underlying infrastructure, whose inhabitants can be confident that their actions and modifications will last forever.

Every autonomous world has a kind of digital physical law: immutable laws that enforce limits, and perhaps counterintuitively, these limits are what lead to the creativity of the world's inhabitants. . Simple and fixed rules give people space to build on them to create something original and creative.

Autonomous worlds, driven by new computing methods, build persistent, multi-author virtual realms that can evolve collaboratively and transcend traditional digital space experiences.

At Lattice, we are interested in the emergent, unforeseen behaviors that can arise in the digital realm. We serve developers, creators , storytellers and disruptors provide the infrastructure and tools to help them achieve an autonomous world
