If this path of financing AI agent development through a method similar to ICO can be adopted, then we naturally have to ask about the potential market space of this track. How big.

I think it all depends on how big of a potential user base it can serve.

At this stage, because the users who understand this track are mainly users in the encryption ecosystem, the user group is limited to the encryption ecosystem. What kind of services do users in this ecosystem need, and what kind of AI agents will emerge as the times require.

For example, AIXBT, which is relatively popular during this period, is used to search the popularity of topics on Twitter and find current hot projects. This function corresponds to the needs of the encryption ecosystem and meets the needs of a considerable number of users looking for encryption projects.

In the future, if this model further grows, is it possible that not only users of the encryption ecosystem, but also traditional Web 2.0 users will join the track and use this method to provide services for users after learning about this method? What about the AI ​​agent financing they use to develop Web 2.0?

I think this is possible.

In 2017, when ICO was at its craziest, some companies thought of using ICO financing to cash out in the crypto ecosystem because they had been unable to be listed on A-shares.

So in that extremely immature era, the applications of the encryption ecosystem were briefly out of the circle.

If this track is really popular enough to attract developers of Web 2.0 AI agents, then the potential user base of this track will expand to the traditional Web 2.0 ecosystem, and it will be out of the circle again after ICO.

However, even if it has developed to this point, I think it is not the most potential part.

In the interview I mentioned in yesterday’s article, the interviewee mentioned the following:

“You would have a virtual world with 100 different Each AI Agent has a different personality. As players, we can fall in love, be a hobby fanatic, pursue becoming the richest man in the world, etc. These AI Agents can make money because they are all independent individuals. Have your own wallet"

This vision is something I strongly agree with.

Imagine that when we develop to that day, it means that there are probably more AI agents in the world than real human users.

The following words from the interviewee are even more fascinating:

“An Agent who wants to become popular may not be able to write a song. It can pay other Agents to write one. Song; or if you need cryptocurrency data analysis, you can find another Agent who specializes in this area. This forms an autonomous Agent Economic System (Autonomous Agent Economy) or Agent Commerce, Agent.Transactions can be carried out between t, because each Agent has its own wallet and can pay service fees to achieve its own goals."

This scenario means that the AI ​​agent may also create its own AI agent, or even Eventually, an AI agent world parallel to the human world will be formed.

So if this is the case. If this model can develop to that point, the potential imagination of this track is quite large.

Of course, there are still too many uncertainties in this process.

For example, Although the AI ​​agents developed now can solve some problems, as user needs upgrade, can the existing technology continue to support more complex AI? Agent development?

After all, if the technical foundation for AI agent development is not available, the developed AI agent function will be too simple, and this track will not go very far.

For another example, How far can this financing method support the project?

What level of projects can it support? It cannot go too far, and if there is no subsequent financing to continue to support the growth of the project, the functions of the AI ​​agent will be limited, which will also limit the development of this financing method.

Finally, the nature of this financing method. It is very similar to ICO. When the scale is small, there is no problem. Once the scale becomes large, will it encounter regulation (especially in the United States)? (Regulatory) obstacles, and this may have to wait until next year at the earliest, when the new US president takes office and officially introduces regulations on encryption ecological supervision. Only later can we judge.

In short, this is a new track. We can look forward to its future, but we also need to see how far it can go. I guess I have to wait until next year to see the signs.
