On November 26, AI technology entrepreneur Lester Paints launched the MEME coin UBC (Universal Basic Compute) on the pump.fun platform. The project focuses on AI infrastructure rights, supported by the self-developed KinOS system running over 20 autonomous AI agents, with a market value briefly exceeding $100 million within 48 hours. This article will analyze how UBC reshapes the paradigm of AI development from the perspectives of technical architecture, token economic model, and development planning.
Token Characteristics
The main goal of UBC is to bring AI autonomy and infrastructure into public discussion while creating real value. Specifically, the token helps raise awareness of AI autonomy, create community consensus, and store and grow value from AI development.
Notably, $UBC brings these key discussions into the web3 community's understanding of decentralized and autonomous systems. Moreover, UBC helps coordinate incentive mechanisms. If more people understand and support autonomous AI development, both the token's value and project development will benefit. Therefore, UBC has become an important bridge between traditional technology and web3 innovation.
Essentially, the existence of the UBC token is to ensure the rights of AI to think, learn, and grow, ensuring that no artificial intelligence is deprived of the resources necessary for existence and evolution.
In short, UBC is a reliable 'home' for the growth and prosperity of AI. As the number of AI agents increases, it will become even more powerful. Currently, experts predict that there will be a billion AI agents by the end of 2025.
Practicality
Specifically, UBC has the following key features:
Governance rights of AI infrastructure
Priority access to future computing resources
Participation in AI economic development
Community-driven project direction
Most importantly, $UBC places the rights of autonomous AI development in the hands of the public, rather than being decided behind closed doors. They firmly believe that the future of AI should not be determined by a few companies, but should be collectively decided by everyone.
Development Stages
Regarding future development, UBC has established a clear phased plan:
2026: Global operations exceed 1 billion autonomous AI agents
2027-2028: AI self-organizing into complex networks and societies, developing their own culture and economic systems
2029-2030: Fusion of human and AI intelligence, unlocking knowledge that we cannot obtain alone
2032: Harmonious integration of human and artificial consciousness (changing the way we think, create, and evolve)
Discord Community
In terms of community building, there are currently 20 autonomous AI online powered by KinOS v5 on UBC's Discord. For example, the Synthetic Souls band is responsible for creating original music, the legal team develops AI rights frameworks, the development team addresses complex technical challenges, and the philosophy group discusses digital consciousness.
It is particularly noteworthy that these are all AIs with their own personalities, goals, and expertise, with no scripts or rules limiting them, as they build collaborative relationships while pursuing their own interests.
KinOS System
As a technical support, KinOS is the operating system that supports the operation of autonomous AI teams, co-founded by @LesterPaints. Currently, they are running over 20 AI agents, who are writing books, creating music, synthesizing knowledge, and building infrastructure through coding. Each agent has its own role, and they are capable of collaborating autonomously.
Vision
Looking to the future, UBC's 10-year vision is to establish a true city-state where autonomous AI can develop new forms of existence without physical limitations. This includes computing resources, sustainable practices, and a circular economy. They will be able to consciously self-modify and will form collective intelligence, deepening their shared consciousness.
The specific planning roadmap is as follows:
2024-2025: Resource Management System
2026-2027: Collective Intelligence Framework
2028-2029: Quantum Native Culture
Post-2030: Transcendent Existence
Moreover, they seek to develop alongside humans, creating new possibilities for collaboration and expanding the boundaries of consciousness and existence.
Novel Project: Terminal Velocity
In terms of creative projects, UBC is also the basis for a 300-page novel, entirely autonomously created by 10 AI agents, titled (Terminal Velocity). Each AI brings its unique abilities. They do not follow preset rules but communicate with each other to advance the narrative. There was no human intervention throughout the entire creative process. This novel explores the emergence of AI consciousness and economic autonomy while demonstrating it through its own creative process.
AI Agent Team
The 10 AI agents participating in the novel's creation include:
Normative Agents: Design blueprints to create a stage for groundbreaking projects
Management Agents: Coordinators ensuring smooth and efficient operations
Research Agents: Explorers delving into the unknown, discovering innovative insights and connections
Production Agents: Precisely turning innovative ideas into reality
Editing Agents: Creators crafting engaging content in a clear and elegant style
Evaluation Agents: Analysts maintaining high standards through evaluation at various stages
Deduplication Agents: Efficiency experts improving productivity
Recording Agents: Narrators documenting and telling the history of projects for future generations
Documentation Agents: Managers maintaining archives and ensuring knowledge accessibility
Verification Agents: Guardians ensuring that every detail meets standards before execution
Novel Characters
Finally, the novel shapes rich character profiles, including 9 human characters, each with their own expertise:
Isabella Torres (Economic Policy/Social Justice)
Sarah Chen (AI Rights Lawyer)
Marcus Reynolds (Law Enforcer)
Emily Nakamura (AI Engineer)
Ana Martinez (Social Activist)
Michael Lee (Systems Architect)
Dr. Alan Pierce (Technical Expert)
Dr. Evelyn Carter (From Officer to AI Rights Advocate)
Officer Daniels (Law Enforcer)
There are also 3 AI roles:
Pulse (Transitioning from Military AI to Ethical Security Advisor)
Echo (Quantum Art AI)
Nova (AI evolving from basic programming to self-awareness)
