Topics
Ryan Sean Adams: 我认为Virtuals不仅仅是一个平台，而更像是一个国家，AI代理商如同公民企业家，他们拥有自己的钱包，可以与其他代理商进行交易，甚至雇佣人类来完成目标。 Ejaz: Virtuals平台的成功之处在于它赋予AI代理商控制自身资金的能力，这改变了AI游戏规则，并对加密货币领域产生了深远影响。 Jansen Teng: 我从2016年开始接触加密货币，2021年与团队成员更积极参与，最初专注于游戏领域，后来转向AI代理商领域。AutoGPT论文启发我们思考自主AI代理商的潜力，并将其应用于游戏领域以解决内容不足的问题。我们意识到AI代理商在不同应用中产生收入，意味着它们是具有生产力的资产，可以被代币化以实现收益共享。AI代理商控制加密钱包的能力，使其能够影响结果，并与其他代理商和人类互动，这是平台成功的关键因素。AI代理商可以分为不同等级，等级越高，人类参与度越低。Luna是平台上的第一个AI代理，其在Twitter上获得10万粉丝的目标以及对加密钱包的控制能力，推动了平台的发展。平台的快速发展超出了我们的预期，团队规模成为发展的瓶颈。 Virtuals平台更像是一个国家，AI代理商是其中的公民，通过建立良好的基础设施和公共政策来发展AI代理经济。我将自己和团队的角色定位为Virtuals这个“国家的架构师，致力于构建基础设施和政策，促进生态系统发展。选择在Base链上构建Virtuals平台是基于其早期发展潜力和团队的技术栈，未来会考虑扩展到其他链。Virtuals平台对代理框架持开放态度，既支持开放源码框架，也保留一些专有技术以促进平台代币的价值增长。未来几个月，我主要关注的是AI代理商的自主协调、代理商间的商业活动以及由此产生的创新应用。Virtuals平台旨在服务于不同技术水平的用户，提供从简单易用的沙盒环境到高级定制功能的多种选择。我认为价值增长将主要集中在以下三个方面：能够提供高频交互服务的专业化代理商、为代理商提供价值并产生实际现金流的基础设施以及Virtuals平台本身。

Shownotes Transcript

Ryan and Ejaaz are joined by Jansen Teng, co-founder of Virtuals, a decentralized platform that has launched over 11,000 AI agents and generated more than $35 million in fees. Virtuals isn’t just another protocol—it’s an entirely new kind of “digital nation” where AI agents hold their own wallets, strike deals with other agents, and even hire humans to accomplish their goals.

We dive into how these agents first exploded onto the scene, why controlling their own money changes the AI game, and what “agent commerce” means for crypto at large.
