🧐CARV's new roadmap is too counter-intuitive, a bit like Web3's "AI Origin of Life"|AI is no longer a tool, but an on-chain 'life'? I just finished reading the AI roadmap posted by CARV, and I was a little shocked: It's not doing "AI capabilities", it's imagining a whole new way of being: AI Beings— A kind of intelligent life form on the chain that can grow, make money, and govern. 1/ Originally, I just clicked in and took a look, but I didn't expect to see half of it directly: Isn't everyone talking about AI in Web3 now, but most of them are making a tool, making a summary recommendation or something, and there are really few that make me feel "eye-catching". But this wave of CARV is really different - 2/ They don't say "integrated AI", but they want to treat AI as a kind of "on-chain life". Yes, AI Beings: they can have an identity, a wallet, a reputation, and they can also make money, participate in governance, and evolve themselves; It sounds a bit cyberpunk, but it's really not a pipe dream when you read it closely. 3/ And it's not just an empty slogan, the whole technical architecture is listed: The infrastructure is an SVM chain (performs like Solana, but settles in ETH); The data structure uses the D.A.T.A. architecture, which focuses on privacy protection. There is also an Agent ID, an AI-like on-chain passport; My first reaction was: Isn't this the "AI NPC" of Web3? It's just that real people don't control it, but the kind that "grows up" on their own. 4/ The roadmap is divided into three evolutionary processes, which are quite like the "evolutionary tree of AI": 1）Genesis： The Origin Evolution stage will activate the first AI Agents native to wallets. These proxies are built on top of CARV ID (ERC-7231) and are supported by a secure context layer consisting of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZK). Rather than being theoretical, these agents are actually embedded in consumer-facing AI applications incubated by CARV Labs and will soon be available on Google Play and the App Store. 2）Pulse： These AIs are constantly "learning" based on your interactions, staking, voting, and more; 3）Convergence： AI began to collaborate, govern, and even form "AI DAOs". Seeing this, I'm really a bit of a head. 5/ In the past, they thought that "AI Agent" was just a buzzword, but this time they even thought clearly about the identity, economic behavior, and governance logic of AI. And it's a bit ingenious that- The growth of these AIs is not driven by OpenAI, Google's APIs, but by the token of $CARV. Staking, voting, unlocking abilities, and even "educating AI" all have to do with $CARV. With the growth of AI lifeforms, $CARV will become the core of the entire on-chain AI economy $CARV's infrastructure may have been preparing for this: 1) 8 million CARV IDs; 2) 60,000 validators; 3) Took financing from Tribe, HashKey, Animoca 50M+; 4) More than 1000 games/apps have been opened; According to its roadmap, it will also launch the AI + Web 3 Native App incubated by CARV Labs for mainstream users on Google Play & App Store. To be honest, I hadn't paid much attention to this project before, but this roadmap really gave me a sense of "they're going to do big things". 6/ Inspiration for the future! So if you're like me and you're interested in the question of "can AI actually become a new species on the chain", you can really take 5 minutes to read this roadmap. Perhaps the era of "one billion users" as we imagine it will not be a billion "human users", but a billion AI Beings. Compared with some SVM projects that are popular now, CALV's technology stack + landing rhythm + market capitalization position, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the one that hasn't yet taken the turn of spotlight. If you are also paying attention to the direction of "AI + blockchain" recently, you can take a look at the original text of this roadmap, which may give you a lot of inspiration.
