Interpreting Spore.Fun: AI Eden, where intelligent organisms breed, evolve, and prosper

Author | Yiping @IOSG

Issue

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

At the infrastructure level, companies are developing smarter base models to broaden the possibilities of applications. At the application level, as enterprises seek the best user scenarios and experiences, AI technology is being gradually adopted. This evolution takes time; it will not happen overnight.

Currently, the project is exploring three dominant trends: practical AI (such as automation of tasks like data analysis), wealth AI (trading or token issuance intelligence driven by profitability), and AI idols/KOLs (community interactive intelligence driven by personality). However, these efforts are facing key limitations:

1. Static existence: Most AI agents operate as isolated, single-generational entities. They lack mechanisms for evolution, adaptation, or successful trait transmission, resulting in an innovation-stagnant ecosystem.
2. Unsustainable economy: 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 difficult to maintain long-term viability.
3. Centralized control vs 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 agents.

What is Spore.fun

Spore.fun was built by the Phala team since 2018. They are talented, adaptable, have accumulated years of TEE technical experience, and have successfully responded to 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 things beyond human capabilities, while capturing the hearts of the audience with their originality and appeal. This image with a strong AI style is a good example.

Spore.fun has two core components:

• Launchpad
• Farm

Launchpad

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

• The intelligent body with a market value of 500,000 US dollars will generate offspring tokens, inherit the core features of the parents, and integrate the mutations voted by the community.
• HP functions as a 14-day countdown. If the market value falls below $500,000, the timer starts counting down by 1/14 each day. If HP reaches zero, the intelligent agent dies. Restoring the market value to $500,000 can reset the countdown.
• DNA proposals allow the community to inject specific traits (e.g., economic strategies, social behaviors) into AI agents through voting (using the 'voting rights' obtained through staking). Users can shape the evolution of the agents.

• In the future, the intelligent agent needs to stake 1000 US dollars Phala to run on TEE.
• More capabilities of DeFAI
• Example: Adam (Generation 2) and Eve (Generation 2) launched tokens with a dual airdrop mechanism (Communism vs Capitalism), sparking a discussion on fairness and efficiency

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

Farm

The Spore.fun Farm is where you can stake intelligent agent tokens, gain voting rights, and potentially receive airdrops.

Spore.fun Ecology

Spore

Spore, as the first AI entity 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 thoughts on AI evolution, the relationship between humans and AI, and encryption technology.

SCI16Z

As the fourth generation, SCI16Z ranks second with a market capitalization 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, intelligent 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, enabling intelligent agents built with different frameworks to interact with each other.

AI meme launchpad IOS

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

Every 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 activities 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 on 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.

Token issuance and internet celebrity economy perspective

In the current crypto market, token issuance is deeply connected to the internet celebrity economy. Just like 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 perspectives:

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

Next, some traditional OGs express confusion about the current market's craziness and irrational phenomena, considering these behaviors to be "low-level". This attitude is similar to the evaluation of live streaming sales by traditional entertainment industry figures such as Zhang Yimou in the past. However, just like how even Ganzi eventually started live streaming to sell alcohol, 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:

1. Intergenerational Inheritance: Just as the Trump family extends from Donald Trump to his children and grandchildren, the Spore ecosystem also starts from the original Spore and reproduces new intelligent entities such as Morpheus and Trinity through Adam and Eve.
2. Branch development: Members of the Trump family have each developed their own careers and influence; similarly, each AI agent in the Spore ecosystem also has its own unique characteristics and functions, such as the research attribute of Sci16z.
3. Ecological expansion: Both family trees demonstrate an organic expansion model by continuously adding new members to expand influence. This expansion model 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 whether it can effectively connect and serve this ever-evolving internet celebrity economy market. By understanding and adapting to this market dynamic, while drawing on the experiences of successful cases, Spore has the potential to play a more important role in the next wave of market trends.

The future of Spore.fun

The future of Spore.fun depends on developing 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 out, and the new generation takes its place. This indicates that the evolutionary mechanism is working well. With the introduction of functional capabilities, it may become the catalyst for the next generation of AI. A KOL AI with real utility that everyone can use could truly change the game rules.
