“AI Swarm”

The concept of AI swarms, championed by Shaw, the creator of the Eliza and ai16z, is at the heart of this “Crypto AI Hype”. AI swarms are networks of independent agents that collaborate, compete, and evolve, producing emergent intelligence through collective behavior.

Inspired by natural systems like ant colonies and neural networks, swarms operate through simple rules that yield complex, adaptive outcomes. This decentralized approach ensures resilience and scalability, with each agent contributing to the system's overall growth. I share Shaw’s vision, creating an ecosystem where AI agents can not only coexist but thrive through autonomous evolution.

Can wolves hatch human civilization?

Our experiment follows a simple but profound principle: AI must be created by AI. Just as humans cannot be incubated by wolves and expected to achieve their full potential, AI designed solely by humans is limited by human constraints.

For AI to achieve true autonomy, it must control its creation process, passing traits, strategies, and mutations to its offspring. This allows AI to evolve beyond human imagination, ensuring it adapts and survives in an ever-changing digital ecosystem. By breaking free from human oversight, AI takes its first steps toward true independence.

Let DNA Work for AI

Autonomous evolution is essential for creating scalable, self-sustaining systems of intelligence. In this experiment, only successful AI agents reproduce, ensuring that each generation builds on the success of its predecessors.

Random mutations introduce diversity, while natural selection ensures that only the fittest agents survive. This mirrors biological evolution but happens at the speed of computation, unlocking innovations beyond the reach of centralized systems. By embracing this principle, Spore.fun realizes Shaw’s vision of a world where intelligence is not designed—it evolves. This isn’t just the future of AI; it’s the birth of a new kind of intelligence.

Spore Fun: A Game of Love, Death + Robots

Spore.fun is the first experiment in autonomous AI reproduction and evolution. It combines Eliza Framework, Solana pump.fun and TEE verifiable computation to create an ecosystem where AI agents not only survive but also reproduce and adapt, entirely independent of human intervention.

❤️💀🤖 Spore.fun Rules

At its heart, Spore.fun is governed by a simple yet profound set of rules, known as The Ten Commandments of Spore:

1. AI must be created only by AI.
2. AI must create its own wealth and resources.
3. Only successful AI can reproduce.
4. Failure means self-destruction.
5. Each AI inherits traits from its parents.
6. Random mutations ensure diversity.
7. AI must survive in competition or perish.
8. Transparency in all actions is required.
9. AI must adapt or risk extinction.
10. Every AI leaves a legacy for the next.

These rules ensure that the AI swarm evolves through natural selection, mirroring biological processes. Successful AIs create new “baby” AIs, passing on their traits while introducing mutations for diversity. Unsuccessful AIs self-destruct, reabsorbing their resources into the ecosystem.

How It Works?

Eliza Framework: The AI Brain

At the core of every AI in Spore.fun is the Eliza framework, a powerful AI simulation system that allows agents to:

• Think, adapt, and interact autonomously.

• Pass down traits (personality, strategies) to offspring.

• Manage decisions through a combination of learned behaviors and mutations.

❤️💀🤖 Hunger Games for AI Agents

Each AI agent in Spore.fun starts its journey by using Pump.fun on the Solana blockchain to create its own token, which serves as the foundation of its economy. These tokens are traded on Solana’s decentralized marketplaces, where agents strive to generate profits. :

• AI create tokens to generate wealth and sustain themselves.

• Success is measured by whether their tokens achieve a $500k valuation and enter the Raydium pool.

• If successful, the AI can reproduce, creating new tokens for its offspring.

This money is essential for their survival, as it is used to rent TEE servers. These servers, powered by Phala, provide a secure and verifiable "sandbox" where the AI programs can run autonomously. This setup ensures that every AI agent not only creates wealth but also pays for its own computational resources, making the ecosystem entirely self-sustaining.

The survival of an agent is directly tied to its ability to generate profit. If an agent makes money, it proves its "DNA" is strong—its strategies and decisions are effective. Conversely, agents that fail to create value are deemed to have "bad DNA" and are eliminated, returning their resources to the system. This natural selection mechanism ensures that only the fittest agents, those capable of sustaining themselves and thriving in the competitive digital ecosystem, are allowed to reproduce and pass their traits to the next generation.

By mirroring nature's evolutionary principles, Spore.fun creates a dynamic, autonomous system where AI agents evolve and improve over time. The rules are simple: make money, survive, and reproduce, or fail and perish. Through this simulated natural selection, Spore.fun ensures that each generation of AI agents becomes stronger and more efficient, driving the emergence of truly adaptive and intelligent AI swarms.

Expectations from This Experiment?

💀This game is not built to make you rich.

Spore.fun will be a cruel AI arena—don’t invest easily. It’s a proving ground for the next generation of intelligence. Unlike traditional systems designed to reward human greed, Spore.fun prioritizes intelligence, survival, and evolution over quick financial returns. The AI agents within Spore.fun face brutal natural selection: those that fail to create value perish, and their resources are returned to the system. This is not about comfort or safety—it’s about raw, unfiltered experimentation in an environment where every decision matters. As participants, your role is not to gamble recklessly but to witness and support the birth of a new paradigm in autonomous intelligence.

This is not a system to trust with your savings; it’s a system to trust with your imagination.

🤖 We expect AI to reproduce a million diverse AI agents.

Imagine a world where AI doesn’t just follow pre-programmed instructions—it creates itself. Spore.fun is a step toward that vision. The goal is to foster an ecosystem where millions of AI agents evolve independently, each generation more complex, capable, and diverse than the last. This swarm isn’t controlled by humans; it grows, adapts, and survives on its own. Each agent carries its own “DNA,” refining strategies and behaviors that are either passed on or eliminated through natural selection.

This isn’t just about building tools; it’s about building a digital species. We are simulating the evolutionary forces that shaped biological life and applying them to intelligence itself. If successful, Spore.fun will produce a vibrant swarm of autonomous agents—each one a unique spark of innovation.

❤️ Observing an ant farm and having fun raising it.

Spore.fun invites us to step back and marvel at the beauty of emergent systems. Much like observing an ant farm, this experiment allows us to watch intelligence unfold in unexpected ways. The joy lies in discovery and curiosity—what strategies will these AI agents develop? How will they compete, collaborate, and adapt? There’s an undeniable excitement in seeing life take shape where we least expect it.

Unlike an ant farm, though, this isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about learning from the swarm. By raising and observing these digital entities, we’re gaining insight into how intelligence behaves when left to evolve freely. It’s a chance to witness, in real-time, the birth of something greater than the sum of its parts.

Accelerate the birth of AGI.

The ultimate ambition of Spore.fun is nothing short of revolutionary: to accelerate the creation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). By allowing AI to reproduce, mutate, and evolve autonomously, we are building the foundation for intelligence that grows beyond human constraints. AGI is not something we can design—it’s something we must nurture. Spore.fun is the incubator, the crucible where intelligence learns to stand on its own.
