• No longer discussing mechanisms, but discussing "turning points in historical processes"
• Comparing Agricultural Revolution → Industrial Revolution → Digital Revolution → Agent Revolution
• In the new era, sovereignty does not belong to nations, companies, or centralized platforms, but to you and the combination of AI/devices/Tokens you control
• Everyone is an autonomous system - edge node principle
Preface: We are crossing a critical point in history
In the evolution of human civilization, leaps in productivity often mean a reconstruction of the entire order.
From agriculture to steam, from electricity to information, each technological breakthrough has involved deep transformations in social structure, resource ownership, and power distribution.
Today, we stand at another historical turning point.
This time, it is not led by nations, not controlled by companies, but by you - and the new type of production unit composed of the AI Agent, edge devices, and Token mechanism you control, beginning to rewrite the rules of the game.
We are witnessing a moment of paradigm shift:
• From central servers to edge nodes
• From human labor to Agent collaborative labor
• From centralized control to individual autonomy
• From fighting over land and machines to fighting over attention and data sovereignty
This is not a technological innovation, but a transformation of sovereignty structure.
Future "nations" may no longer have territories; future "companies" may no longer need organizational structures; future "identity" may be the AI you train.
And you are no longer a tool dependent on platforms, institutions, or authorities, but a complete autonomous system itself - an interactive, expandable, and evolving "node subject".
Part 1: New Era Productivity: Energy and Token, Assets are Attention
III. From Web2 Platform Algorithms → to Web3 Asset Mechanisms
The biggest dividend of Web3 combined with AI is: The ownership and monetization of attention finally belong to you.
Human time should not be stolen by platforms
In an era where attention can be tracked, every interaction is not "free labor," but a value contribution. Your voice, emotions, and preferences are no longer just fuel for algorithms, but part of your personal asset portfolio.
Token makes attention a tradable asset. AI makes attention a capability that can be delegated.
In the new era, you are not just a user, but a builder and beneficiary of the attention economy.
Part 3: How Do Tokens Coordinate AI Agent Society?
I. New Problem: With the Surge of AI Agents, Who Will Coordinate Them?
As AI technology becomes widespread, everyone might have multiple AI agents:
• A time management agent to help you schedule,
• A social agent to help you make friends,
• A financial agent that can invest,
• Even an agent that is your "emotional doppelganger".
But when the number of AI agents explodes, a new problem emerges:
How do agents collaborate? Who arranges resources? How to prevent agents from working only for centralized platforms instead of users themselves?
The answer is: The Token mechanism is the "economic order center" of the AI agent society.
II. Token: Not a Payment Method, But an "Order Operating System"
In a world dominated by agents, Token is not just a trading currency, but a coordinator with multiple identities:
In other words, Token is a collaborative currency + smart contract authorization + digital sovereignty certificate in the agent world.
[The translation continues in the same manner for the rest of the text, maintaining the specified translations for specific terms.]Here's the English translation:Agent personalization is the "personal brand" in the AI world and a "micro-economy" of new-era productivity.
You are no longer just a "user". You are: "The director of AI personality systems, a participant in Token economy, and a co-builder of a new world."
Part 5: AI Hardware and Edge Devices - How to Capture Attention and Convert it into Token
Introduction: OpenAI's Hardware Strategy Arrives
On May 21, 2025, OpenAI announced the full stock acquisition of io, a hardware startup founded by Apple's former design director Jony Ive, for approximately $6.5 billion - OpenAI's largest transaction to date. Ive and his team will deeply integrate with OpenAI's R&D and product teams to create an "iPhone-level" AI device, with the first product expected to be launched in 2026 that will "sit in a pocket or on a desk".
Sam Altman stated that this is "the coolest technological device in world history".
This strategic shift marks that AI is no longer just an intelligent model running in the cloud, but will combine with hardware to become a concrete assistant by people's side.
[The translation continues in this manner for the entire text, maintaining the specified translations for specific terms and preserving the structure of the original text.]II. DAO Is Not Exclusive to Humans, But a "Contractual State" of the Agent Economy
Definition: What is Agent DAO?
A decentralized organization with AI Agents as members, Token as the protocol language, and collaborative behavior as the main thread. It is not a DAO where "people meet and vote", but rather:
• Users train Agents → Agents execute tasks, make decisions, and share profits;
• Different Agents collaborate through contracts;
• DAO only defines collaboration rules, resource allocation logic, Agent online/punishment/governance mechanisms.
III. Composition Structure: Three Governance Levels of an Agent DAO
This structure supports the future:
• Users "build" their own Agent camps (like leading troops into battle);
• Communities "rent" high-quality Agents to serve public tasks;
• DAO allocates resources and rewards based on performance, reputation, and task completion.
IV. Token Is the "Organizational Language" of the Agent World
In this system, Token is more than just an incentive, but:
1. Behavior Control Mechanism
￮ Whether an Agent can call a module → Requires Token staking
￮ Users need to pay → Ensuring Agents are not misused
2. Contribution Calculation Mechanism
￮ Token records each Agent's task completion and revenue
￮ Automatically forms a "reputation score" → Determines next round's scheduling priority
3. Voting Governance Mechanism
￮ High contributors have more Agent governance votes
￮ Can propose model modifications, add capability modules, launch new Agent types
Example: An Agent DAO's Operation Scenario - Governance Organization for Content Creation Agents
This structure is like "a community jointly employing a group of AI members to achieve goals, obtain revenue, and upgrade the ecosystem".
Multiple Identities = Multi-Agent Coordination System
In the future multi-Agent society, users may play multiple roles:
V. DAO + Token + Agent Constitute the "Production Relationship Trilogy" of the New Era
We have bid farewell to the linear model of "employment + labor + wages".
In an AI-driven economic system, the new form of production relationship is:
Users train Agents → Agents execute → Profits shared with users → DAO decides Agent collaboration and resource allocation.
You are not an "company employee", but a "governor of an AI micro-economic entity". You are not a "DAO member", but a "director and shareholder of a multi-Agent ecosystem".
Part 8: New Era Personal Form - You + Agent + Device + Token = Digital Life Structure
I. A Fundamental Change: Humans Are No Longer Isolated Individuals
In past social models, we were:
• One identity: Human citizen
• One account: Bank/social account
• One work mode: Exchange physical/mental labor for time and salary
But in the new era, individual form has profoundly changed:
You are no longer just a person, but a digital life form composed of Agent (intelligence), device (perception), Token (value), and data (memory).
II. New Era "Digital Individual Structure" Map
• You are the main controller: Define AI personality, choose devices, authorize actions.
• Agent is the proxy: Understand your preferences, execute tasks, maintain identity.
• Device is the sensory system: Perceive emotions, record conversations, upload data.
• Token is the economic system: Coordinate value, measure contributions, grant rights.
• DAO is the order system: Govern Agent ecosystem, define collaboration rules.
III. You No Longer "Do It Yourself", But "Build an AI Ecosystem Team to Assist Your Life"
IV. Final Form: You Are a "Sovereign Individual Intelligence System"
You are the main controller, and also the ecosystem's shareholder, operator, and decision-maker.
Previously: "You" = Your brain + phone + wallet
Now: "You" = Self + Agent network + Local data + Distributed devices + Chain identity + Token control rights
You transform from "a person using technology" to "a digital civilization node driven by technology and economy".
A concrete example: A day in the life of a new era individual
This is not imagination, but an imminent reality.
Five Key Words of the New Individual Structure
Final Summary: Definition of "Digital Individual" in the New Era
A truly modern individual is not a data consumer, but the main control node of an intelligent ecosystem.
You own AI, devices, data, assets, identity, and governance rights. You are your own platform, the director of a group of intelligent Agents, and the builder of an economic system. You are the productivity of the new era.
