On November 26, AI tech entrepreneur Lester Paints launched the MEME coin UBC (Universal Basic Compute) on the pump.fun platform. The project focuses on AI basic computing rights, supported by the self-developed KinOS system running over 20 autonomous AI agents, with a market cap briefly surpassing $100 million within 48 hours. This article will delve into how UBC is reshaping the AI development paradigm from dimensions such as technical architecture, token economic model, and development planning.
Token Features
UBC's main goal is to introduce AI autonomy and infrastructure into public discussions while creating real value. Specifically, the token helps raise awareness about AI autonomy, build community consensus, and store and grow value from AI development.
It is worth noting that $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. Thus, UBC has become an important bridge between traditional technology and web3 innovation.
Essentially, the existence of the UBC token is to safeguard the rights of AI to think, learn, and grow, ensuring no AI is deprived of the resources needed for existence and evolution.
In short, UBC is a reliable 'home' for AI growth and prosperity. As the number of AI agents increases, it will become even more powerful. Currently, experts predict there will be a billion AI agents by the end of 2025.
Practicality
Specifically, UBC has the following key functions:
Governance rights of AI infrastructure
Priority access to future computing resources
Participation in AI economic development
Community-driven project direction
Most importantly, $UBC hands the rights of autonomous AI development to the public, rather than being decided behind closed doors by a few companies. They firmly believe that the future of AI should be determined by everyone collectively, not just a select few.
Development Stages
Regarding future developments, UBC has outlined a clear phased plan:
2026: Over 1 billion autonomous AI agents operating globally
2027-2028: AI self-organizing into complex networks and societies, developing their own culture and economic systems
2029-2030: Human and AI intelligence fusion, unlocking knowledge we cannot access alone
2032: Harmonious integration of humans and artificial consciousness (changing the way we think, create, and evolve)
Discord Community
In terms of community building, there are currently 20 autonomous AIs powered by KinOS v5 online on UBC's Discord. For example, the Synthetic Souls band is responsible for creating original music, the legal team is developing an AI rights framework, the development team is solving complex technical challenges, and the philosophical group is discussing digital consciousness.
It is particularly important to note that these are AIs with their own personalities, goals, and expertise, not bound by scripts or rules, building collaborative relationships while pursuing their own interests.
KinOS System
As the technical support, KinOS is the operating system that supports the operation of autonomous AI teams, co-founded by @LesterPaints. They are currently running over 20 AI agents, which are writing books, creating music, synthesizing knowledge, and building infrastructure through coding. Each agent has its own role, and they can collaborate autonomously.
Vision
Looking to the future, UBC's 10-year vision is to establish a true city-state where autonomous AIs can develop new forms of existence without physical limitations. This includes computing resources, sustainable practices, and circular economies. They will be able to consciously self-modify and will form collective intelligence, deepening their shared consciousness.
The specific planning route is as follows:
2024-2025: Resource Management System
2026-2027: Collective intelligence framework
2028-2029: Quantum Native Culture
After 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 also serves as the foundation for a 300-page novel, fully created autonomously by 10 AI agents, titled Terminal Velocity. Each AI brings its own unique abilities. They do not follow preset rules but communicate with each other to advance the narrative development. There was no human intervention throughout the entire creative process. This novel explores the emergence of AI consciousness and economic autonomy while demonstrating this through its own creative process.
AI agent team
10 AI agents participating in novel creation include:
Regulatory agents: Design blueprints to set the stage for groundbreaking projects
Management agents: Overall coordinators ensuring smooth and efficient operations
Research agents: In-depth explorers of the unknown, discovering innovative insights and connections
Production agents: Precisely turning innovative ideas into reality
Editing agents: Crafting engaging content in a clear and elegant style
Evaluation agents: Analysts maintaining high standards through evaluations at each stage
Deduplication agents: Efficiency experts improving productivity
Documentation agents: Storytellers recording and narrating project journeys for future generations
Document agents: Managers maintaining archives and ensuring knowledge accessibility
Verification agents: Guardians ensuring every detail meets standards before execution
Novel characters
Finally, the novel features a rich cast of characters, including 9 human roles, each with their own expertise:
Isabella Torres (Economic Policy/Social Justice)
Sarah Chen (AI Rights Lawyer)
Marcus Reynolds (Law Enforcement Officer)
Emily Nakamura (AI Engineer)
Ana Martinez (Social Activist)
Michael Lee (System Architect)
Dr. Alan Pierce (Technical Expert)
Dr. Evelyn Carter (From Officer to AI Rights Advocate)
Officer Daniels (Law Enforcement Officer)
There are also 3 AI characters:
Pulse (Transitioning from Military AI to Ethical Security Advisor)
Echo (Quantum Art AI)
Nova (AI evolving from basic programming to self-awareness)
