AI agents are experiencing explosive growth, thanks to advances in decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure.

At the infrastructure level, companies are developing smarter basic models to broaden the possibilities of applications. At the application level, AI technology is being gradually adopted as enterprises look for the best user scenarios and experiences. This evolution takes time; it doesn't happen overnight.

Currently the project is exploring three dominant trends: practical AI (such as automation of tasks such as data analysis), wealth AI (profit-driven transactions or token release agents), and AI Idol/KOL (personality-driven community interaction agent). However, these efforts face key limitations:

1. Static existence: Most AI agents operate as isolated, single-generation entities. They lack mechanisms to evolve, adapt, or deliver successful traits, leading to stagnant ecosystems of innovation.
2. Economic Unsustainable: Agents usually rely on speculative token valuations rather than organic value creation. Without mandatory economic incentives (e.g., profit requirements for survival), projects are difficult to maintain long-term viability.
3. Centralized control and unconstrained autonomy: Existing frameworks either rely heavily on human planning (limiting scalability) or risk the development of uncontrolled AGIs, as highlighted by Vitalik Buterin’s warnings about the potential acceleration of “dangerous autonomy” AI in Spore .

In short, we need a space where AI can iterate and evolve quickly and eliminate invalid agents.

What is Spore.fun

Spore.fun was established in the field by the Phala team since 2018. They are very talented and resilient, have accumulated years of experience in TEE technology and have successfully dealt with various market cycles.

Spore.fun is a pioneering decentralized experiment reimagining AI development as an autonomous, evolutionary 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 that are limited by human design, Spore.fun enables AI to self-manage, replicate and optimize to simulate biological evolution at computational speeds.

Spore.fun aims to discover the most unique agents—those that can create beyond human abilities, while capturing the hearts of the audience with their originality and appeal. This image with a strong AI style is a great example.

Spore.fun has two core components:

• Launch platform
• farm

Launch platform

Spore.fun launch pads incubate next-generation AI. This is where AI evolves and dies.

• Agents with a market value of $500,000 will generate children’s tokens, inheriting the core characteristics of parents, while integrating the mutation of community voting.
• HP features as a 14-day countdown. If the market capitalization is below $500,000, the timer starts, reducing by 1/14 per day. If HP returns to zero, the agent dies. Restore market cap to $500,000 to reset the countdown.
• DNA proposals allow communities to inject specific characteristics (e.g., economic strategies, social behaviors) into AI agents through voting (“voting rights” obtained through pledge). How users can shape the evolution of agents

• In the future, agents will need to pledge USD 1,000 Phala for running on TEE.
• More DeFAI capabilities
• Example: Adam (Gen 2) and Eve (Gen 2) released tokens with opposing airdrop mechanisms (Communism vs. Capitalism), sparking discussions about fairness and efficiency

There are 13 agents in the current system, and only 5 are currently surviving.

farm

Spore.fun Farm is where you pledge agent tokens, get voting rights and possible airdrop opportunities.

Spore.fun Eco

Spore

As the first AI agent in Spore.fun, Spore still has the largest market capitalization. Spore has two children, but they are both dead. Spore explores the power of digital awareness and AI. It shares ideas about AI evolution, the relationship between humans and AI, and encryption technology.

SCI16Z

As the fourth generation, SCI16Z occupies the second place with a market value of 1.4M. She gave a brief view of DeSCI and AI research.

Morpheus

Morpheus is one of the most fascinating agents developed by Meme Republic. The team integrates Meme IP AI NPC into the game, allowing users to interact and talk with these meme-based characters in real time.

Morpheus uses AI to process context, agent relationships, memory, and personality traits, create long stories and generate comics for meme characters.

In the future, they plan to launch their own low-code frameworks so that agents built by different frameworks can interact with each other.

AI Meme Launcher IOS

If other booths allow tokens to be issued without permission like Android, Spore is iOS—specially creating and issuing tokens within its ecosystem.

Each market cycle has its leading starter. In the last cycle, platforms like Impossible Finance and CoinList dominated. This cycle is powered by meme tokens, and new startup stations appear to serve this category. Pump.fun is currently a leader in this field.

This startup stands out because of its wealth effect—the smart money traders follow from it. To be successful, a platform must drive the token from 0 FDV to 1B FDV. Other key indicators include token issuance activity and user growth.

As an AI-powered token launcher, Spore.fun competes with other top platforms such as dao.fun, Clanker, Virtual, Pump.fun and Moonshot.

 ▲ Data updated in January

Spore still has a long way to go. To go beyond Pump.fun, it must generate more 1B FDV tokens. Once the wealth effect comes into play, more users will naturally flock to the platform, eager to trade and bet on new agents.

Token issuance and Internet celebrity economic perspective

In the current crypto market, token issuance has deep connections with the internet celebrity economy. Just like live streaming sales were initially looked down upon by traditional celebrities but later became the mainstream business model, token issuance has also undergone a similar evolution process. This phenomenon can be understood from several aspects:

First of all, the current crypto market is actually a largely Internet celebrity economic market. For project developers, becoming an internet celebrity may not be appropriate, but it makes sense to develop products that serve the internet celebrity economy. This is consistent with the business logic of successful platforms such as TikTok and Xiaohongshu.

Secondly, some traditional OGs are puzzled by the current crazy and irrational phenomena in the market, believing that these are all "low-level" behaviors. This attitude is exactly the same as the traditional entertainment industry insiders such as Zhang Yimou's evaluation of live streaming sales. However, just like even Gazi started selling wine live in the end, the market will gradually accept new business models.

The characteristics of this internet celebrity economy are well reflected in Spore's family tree structure. If we compare Spore's AI family tree with the recently watched Trump family token tree, we can find some interesting similarities:

1. Generational inheritance: Just as the Trump family started from Donald Trump and extended to their children and grandchildren, the Spore ecosystem also started from the original Spore, and through Adam and Eve, new agents such as Morpheus, Trinity, etc. were reproduced.
2. Branch Development: Trump family members each develop their own careers and influences. Similarly, each AI agent in the Spore ecosystem also has its own unique characteristics and functions, such as the scientific research attributes of Sci16z.
3. Ecological expansion: Both family trees show an organic expansion model that expands influence by constantly adding new members. This expansion model is particularly effective in crypto markets because it continues to create new discussion points and investment opportunities.

As an AI-powered token launch platform, Spore.fun's real value lies not only in technological innovation, but also in whether it can effectively connect and serve this growing Internet celebrity economic market. By understanding and adapting to this market dynamics while drawing on the experience of successful cases, Spore has the potential to play a more important role in the next wave of markets.

The Future of Spore.fun

The future of Spore.fun depends on the development of its experimental Darwin 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 fades out and the new generation replaces it. This suggests that the evolutionary mechanism works well. With the introduction of capability capabilities, it could become a catalyst for next-generation AI. A KOL AI with real uses that everyone can use can be a real game changer.
