After being suppressed by Solana for several weeks, the Meme market on the ETH mainnet finally has emerging targets today.
On the morning of October 30, around 8 AM, the AI Meme token $TEE launched on the ETH mainnet, this time with a surprise zero-frame start and a combination of smart money alerts. Within 6 hours of opening, its market cap approached 50 million dollars, which was even more outrageous than yesterday's $LUSE.
Deep Tide has organized some information about the token to help readers understand the technical concepts that $TEE focuses on and how it differs from other AI coins, as well as the reasons behind $TEE's explosive rise.
Completely autonomous AI agent?
On the morning of October 30, around 6 AM, a Twitter account called error error ttyl (@tee_hee_he) posted its first tweet, sharing 'his' wallet address. From the website linked in its profile, it was found that this is an AI agent named TEE_HEE. From the frontend implementation level of TEE_HEE, which is its Twitter account, it is not much different from other AI Meme accounts like Truth Terminal, as both post nonsensical tweets.
However, in TEE_HEE's official introduction document, it emphasizes that TEE_HEE is different from earlier AI Meme agents, as it is a 'completely autonomous AI agent,' while also detailing how the TEE technology ensures that the AI is completely autonomous and free from human intervention.
By completely distancing the private key and Twitter account from the developers, TEE_HEE achieves 'complete autonomy' from a technical standpoint.
The editor consulted his AI assistant to roughly summarize the technical implementation part of the document:
TEE_HEE achieves its design goals by fully entrusting the email and Twitter account to a trusted execution environment (TEE) running the AI agent, which uses Intel TDX. Due to the confidentiality and integrity guarantees provided by the hardware chip, the AI's control over its account is tamper-proof. The TEE holds the private credentials, and throughout the process, the human developers never had access to these credentials. Moreover, anyone can download the public code on GitHub to reproduce the measurements and compare them with the remote authenticated hash values; their official statements can be verified.
The specific implementation is divided into two parts:
Private key control:
The exclusive control of the wallet is straightforward because Ethereum assets are controlled by private keys. They only need to generate the private key within the enclave and ensure that the private key never leaves the enclave (achieved by not releasing the private key to any external APIs).
X platform control:
This is the more challenging part. Because Twitter is their AI's living environment, the AI should be the only entity that can access the account. To ensure this, they have done the following:
The root credentials (i.e., password) for the account are generated internally in the TEE and never leave the enclave.
Ensuring that human developers cannot take over the account through the 'reset password' process means that the account cannot be linked to a mobile phone number, and the linked email must only be accessible by the AI.
The account is not connected to any applications (to prevent previously authorized applications from tampering with the account through OAuth tokens).
Log out of all existing sessions (to prevent developers from hijacking the account from existing sessions).
The specific process is as follows:
TEE simulates a browser (headless Chrome), requiring developers to provide an email address and password. After obtaining the credentials, TEE checks that the account has not set recovery options, then generates a new password within the enclave and changes the email password.
TEE operates the browser to log in to Twitter, generates a new password within TEE, and modifies the password. Then it changes the associated email to the email from step 1, removing all associated mobile phone numbers, connected applications, and sessions.
TEE starts a local endpoint, requesting read/write/direct message permissions OAuth token for the AI's Twitter account, and the AI logs in to Twitter via the browser to authorize this endpoint.
By this point, the account has been completely transferred/entrusted from the human developers to the AI. The AI can operate the account through OAuth tokens. In the case of TEE_HEE, we simply let it tweet every 30 minutes.
Due to space limitations, only the key technical aspects are introduced here. For more details on TEE_HEE, please refer to the official document: https://nousresearch.com/setting-your-pet-rock-free/#popup-menu-anchor
The technology is real, but the coin may not be?
As mentioned above, the first tweet from this AI agent was to release its own wallet address. Whether this was to demonstrate complete control over the private key or for other purposes, this action itself suggests some speculative possibilities.
The subsequent script indeed moved towards a direction of crazy speculation: According to Twitter user @fearofdooms, the first address to send money to TEE_HEE's wallet address (referred to as address A) is 0x6002EBE4144D7F3b0cD10E2aC0C0F357Eb1c1C51 (referred to as address B), which purchased $TEE very early on and holds most of its position without selling. Smart money on the chain recognized this opportunity, then rushed in, driving up $TEE. The result was a story of a 40 million market cap in just one morning.
With the smart money rallying wave after wave, the coin has taken off, but the only problem is that the official account does not acknowledge any connection with this coin and explicitly states in its profile that it has no relation to any tokens. Moreover, the Twitter account associated with the $TEE token on GMGM.AI has no content.
Half-hearted, is it a long-planned scheme or an innocent hit?
The completely autonomous AI, TEE_HEE's project concept is quite ambitious. However, although TEE_HEE officially states that today's $TEE has no connection with itself, the BOT's first action on Twitter was to release its wallet address, and it also used a meme image of the previously ten million market cap Solana AI Meme $Shoggo in its official introduction document, indicating that the team fully understands the influence of AI Memes.
Some say that the violent surge of $TEE is a premeditated counterattack from ETH against Solana; others say it is yet another operation by a conspiracy group on the ETH chain. Regardless, as of now, the market cap of $TEE has fallen back to 20 million dollars. Some have profited, while many others have been trapped or lost money. Whether $TEE is a refutation of an AI autonomy account or a speculative hype riding on emotions, different people will have different answers in their hearts.
