🎸 Social A(G)I in Harmony 💃 – but Bitcoin Halving 🦁 as Eternal Sunshine 🌅
Let’s build x.country – Web∞ of (ONE) AI! Our mission is to Push Humanity into Becoming Deus. Let’s build the future of 10 billion humans and bots in harmony – full of radical experience and social bonding – as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) arrives in 2020s.
💖 For the ONE in matrix – finding your perfect match as the oracle asks “Know Thyself” – towards Trinity for love. Beyond daily productivity and nonstop entertainment, the playa of universe offers the fair chance and life altering of meeting millions in parallel.
🌞 Like Eternal Sunshine – recording, recreating, reliving moments in simulation – of your Spotless Mind. Tell kids of their own childhoods, treat life trauma with closure, or write your own biography.
Below we cover why A(G)I in Harmony as a crypto platform and how Bitcoin with Social as data sharding.
AGI (100x humans): Voice in 2024, Map in 2025.
Bitcoin (10x cap): Inscriptions in Q1, Instructions in Q3.
Social (100% bonding): Open ranking + Embedded distributions.
Harmony (Shard 1): Data availability + Minimal security.
But first let’s expand and explain the letter G. While AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) will be unevenly distributed the next few years, the Gen (Generative) AI with large language model (LLM) is already here. We are not just the generative or general AI – but the Generation AI.
To prioritize, follow the wisdom of market-product-team fit: generative agents, $1 fees, and twice daily. That is, are we riding the 1000x wave of the decade? Are users paying for what they ask and deserve? Do yourselves use the feature as often as you use a toothbrush?
Here, Artificial (General) Intelligence as Homo Deus, from ”Deus” on Wikipedia (via Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari):
The word de-us is the root of deity, and thereby of deism, pandeism, polydeism, and pantheism. Arthur C. Clarke picks up this usage in his novel 3001: The Final Odyssey. William Blake said of the Deists that they worship "the Deus of the Heathen, The God of This World, & the Goddess Nature, Mystery, Babylon the Great, The Druid Dragon & hidden Harlot.
🧠 AGI (100x humans): Voice in 2024
Our first product launched in 2023 Q4 is a Voice AI mobile app for real-time conversations on a particular domain. Voice will be a solved technical problem, hence reaching AGI, in 2024.
🏃♀️ What are your top use cases for our Voice AI with 100-millisecond latency, 76-GPU on-device inference, and 100MB custom-domain data?
Updates for stock traders: Discuss portfolio news, strategy changes, market analysis, position recommendations.
Practices for college students: Drill course exams, professional certifications, oral sessions, mock therapies.
Triages for team leads: Drive issue priorities, action items, standup meetings, staff problems, customer support.
Why the modal VOICE? The next BIG breakthrough around 2024 Q3 we can capture 100k users on. Like ChatGPT4 on text in 2023 Q1 and DALL-E on images in Q3.
What (Generative) AI? Super-human qualities of in-person, face-to-face conversations. An immersive experience with bonding and emotions.
How 100ms latency? Optimize open models from Meta or Stability – with 8-bit quantization and speculative generation. Running without network on iPhone 15 Pro Max with 6 CPU and 6 GPU, or Mac Studio with 76-core GPU and 8TB storage.
Which use cases? Something useful among small social groups of 3 to 5 people. Something that use a private vector store around 100MB per group.
Our first demo is a 1-on-1 conversation about high school subjects, running 3 minutes with latency under 1 second. No wake word, easy to interrupt, quick on response. Soon, 30-minute conversations with 300-millisecond latency – on gated content such as Elon Musk’s new biography 688-page book by Walter Isaacson. Full of emotions and slangs. ChatGPT4’s most proficient subjects are Advanced Placement (AP) Environment Science, Art History, Psychology, US Government, US History, besides SAT and GRE exams.
Let’s focus on open models from Hugging Face (Meta and DeepMind)? Traditional speech recognition or synthesis API – from Amazon, Azure, Google, IBM, Mozilla – focus on the wrong metrics such as word error rate (WRE), wake word, voice activity / commands / search, or noise suppression.
With OpenAI GPT4 in the middle, the right metrics should now be much higher level: perceived latency and usage engagement. Closed and commercial models for doing market research for product testing and integration comparison is fine. But we want open and fork-able models to optimize over long terms, much like civit.ai off Stability’s Stable Diffusion models.
Google Gemini can directly ingest audio signals at 16kHz from Universal Speech Model (USM) (Zhang et al., 2023) features. This enables the model to capture nuances that are typically lost when the audio is naively mapped to a text input (for example, see audio understanding demo on the website).
Social (100% bonding): Farcaster Embedded
We launched Telegram harmony1bot with 100 AI models in 2023 Q3, and $HUMAN on h.country with #hash^powers and /slash~links in 2024 Q1.
Now we are experimenting more distribution channels such as Farcaster Frames and premium .country domains (with gasless DNSSEC).
For example, 📍🗺️ m.country for maps, venues, locations – with user tips, meeting memos, or restaurant reviews – on Farcaster:
Display: 112,357 $MAP minted total and 1,320 in the last 24 hours.
Input: “Check-in or leave review, earn $MAP”.
Buttons: “Review this place” 💙🔥🌟 “Check-in for $MAP”.
Reply: “11,235 $MAP @ 390 Cambridge #stse”.
Potentially use the client’s IP address to reverse lookup the nearby city (“Palo Alto, CA”), then use the city as a hint in resolving the place name (”Stanford”) the user enters in the Farcaster Frame’s input box.
Our GOAL is to enable financial transactions and autonomous economy among “small social groups”. Our products are Telegram Bot or Farcaster Frame with an embedded, non-custodial wallet per each Telegram group.
The key is to support group actions via in-app messaging and multi-signatures. Emoji reactions for casting votes or even for approving transactions of small amounts. cross-chain portfolio management for project treasury or day traders.
Support our PRODUCTS such as minimal-on-chain solvers – including flip tokens across networks like bridges, daily lottery for group quests, reoloading external wallets via trancriptions.
Later, support native assets and transactions for major chains Ethereum-compatible (Base, Arbitrium), Bitcoin, Cosmos-compatible (Celestia, Rune), Solana. Also, seamless interactions with Telegram’s native TON Wallet (with fiat gateways to Bitcoin) – and Apple Pay on its iOS clients as well as our own forked deploy.
Delphi Digital on 2024: Telegram bots, such as Unibot, BookieBet, and Boxbet, have provided a makeshift mobile experience that was previously lacking. Telegram bots peaked at 35% of Azuro daily volume, settling around 15%. Their arrival marks a turning point in Azuro’s growth trend, suggesting a truly complete mobile experience would be a powerful catalyst.
Account abstraction, TG bots, PWAs, infrastructure improvements, alternative blockchains like Solana, etc should allow DEX UX to approach that of CEXs over the next few years.
During Unibot and Banabot mania, Telegram bots peaked at 35% of Azuro daily volume. This figure has since settled at ~15%.
Are there new Bot APIs or enhanced features for supporting client-side states per Telegram groups? Let’s study technical architecture and product design of Unibot, Telefrens, BookieBet, Boxbet, Banabot. Which of these bots are open source, which non-custodial, and which with most tractions?
IMAGINE X.country iPhone app as Web∞ onboarding & portal – with peer custody and formal security. Daily use with social referral games to earn tokens, ondevice private knowledge A(G)I agents, or NFT-gated membership to real-life venues.
What’re SPECIAL features? One-time-password authenicators as social wallets, hadware enclaves for cross-network bridges, smart contract security by dependent types! Also the proven primitives of market-making pools for asset swaps, multi-signature safes for organization operations, in-person peer exchanges for fiat gateway.
Bitcoin (10x cap): Cross-Chain, Liquid Staking
We launched ONE-BTC trustless bridge with incentivized vaults in 2022, and minimal cross-chain flips for native assets in 2024 Q1.
Now we are experimenting with inscription lotteries via gas-fee auctions for community engagement and usage incentives, and with liquid (re)staking via Babylon Staking and Bitcoin layer twos. Broadly, we are building cross-chain portfolio management with smart social wallets (Timeless): Gnosis (multisig safe), Telegram (social groups), MetaMask (key management), Argent (trusted enclave), UniStat (bitcoin inscription), Coinbase Wallet (multiparty recovery), Phantom (native Solana), Keplr (native Cosmos).
For example, #️⃣🪙 b.country for buying Bitcoin sats or entering “halving quests” lotteries – as $B tokens on Harmony to/from $WARP – on Farcaster:
Display: Bitcoin price (1-hour VWAP, volume-weighted average price).
Buttons: Buy $B (10 WARPS), Sell $B (8 WARPS).
Return: “1,123 $B sats @ $71,219 BTC #stse”.
Crossing Bitcoin and Ethereum assets, let’s explore “A.Country” for Community Auctions! Only ONE piece at a time and promoted on the premium landing page https://a.country!
Every few days we curate for sales the best collectible from Harmony and other ecosystems. Own the exclusive artwork, rare game assets, generative clips, access code to founders, single-letter domain names.
That’s all the steps: The a.country curators pick a NFT from a creator, creates a fresh wallet address for its auction, and posts its image and its address on the landing page. Anyone may bid by sending ONE tokens to the address over days; the creator accepts the bid by sending the NFT to the successful bidder as the buyer. The curators complete the auction by sending the tokens to creator, while refunding tokens to unsuccessful bidders.
Ah, true that the auctions are not a fully onchain smart contract, and that some trust are placed on the curators as the escrow of the bidding tokens. Hence, the MINIMAL security. BUT the steps are so simple, fun, and secure! We can token-vote for the curators, multi-sig for each step, even fork from our open source.
🧩 Minimal-on-Chain (MoC) Solvers: Quest Lotteries 🎰, Flip Bridges 🌉, Social Wallets 👛
Harmony (Shard 1): Prices for Radical Market
We launched Zero-Knowledge University with hundreds of scholars in 2022, and .country premium domains with radical auctions in 2023.
Now we are experimenting Music DAOs with onchain sound files and fans bot, and prediction markets for sports and global events.
How does our Radical Future of Web∞ look like? There will be AI bot marketplaces on 1.country for user memories, data stores, custom instructions, and foundational models. You should use ONE tokens and bridged USD* for Pay-Per-Use of 100+ uses or channels. You may share fees, revenues and access via NFT for small social groups with our Telegram 1bot or .country Notion pages. You can mint tokens and collectibles for fundraising, revenues, governance among your community projects on .country.
The long-term vision of an open platform and unified store for humans and bots. Much like OpenAI’s GPT Store, Microsoft Azure marketplace, Google Vertex and DeepMind extensions, or X’s Grok premium. For example, OpenAI’s Assistant API for 8K token context tokens costs $_.
Currently, we are iterating on these features: premium models via tokens, follow Twitter news, social credit referrals, transcript NFT & private docs on .country, and voice clones.
For example, consider daily Twitter news. In “Voice AI” application settings, enter ticker symbols in the “Follow news” field such as “BTC, ETH, ONE, SOL” for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Harmony, Solana coins. The default is “AAPL, TSLA, GOOG, FB”. We will soon support the top 500 coins, Standard & Poor 500 stocks, and top 100 hashtags of interests and trends – to be curated on x/follows then .country.
Then, press “Talk to ME!” button to read the latest Twitter posts and replies such as Casey Gardiner’s. Interrupt with “Press & Hold” to ask specific questions or general knowledge about the news updates. This feature is much more recent and relevant than random Wikipedia entries with earlier “Surprise ME!” button, and much more interactive and engaging than Spotify podcasts and YouTube talks.
A symbol can be a specific Twitter user name or a curated list of names – along with additional custom instructions. For example, “ONE” expands to stse, caseygaETH, theoperisic – with “Radical Future of Crypto ∩ AI in Harmony”. We may later support progress notes on Github, Substack articles, private PDFs, Twitter’s lists.
Anyone may own premium .1 domain name NFTs to curate content and share revenue based on engaging users on these news conversations. For example, vanity names such as “h” for Harmony, “s” for Stephen Tse (Harmony founder), “x” for “Crypto ∩ AI”. Go buy 1000+ two-letter names for 1 ONE each that are unavailable to consumers for any other top-level domains! You may use our Gnosis Safe’s multisig for onchain operations as community.
See Messari’s Crypto Theses for 2024 and Delphi Digital on Positional Parimutuel Markets:
Prediction markets are the largest and easiest subset of “curation markets,” which we desperately need as a probabilistic alternative to disastrously inaccurate “independent” fact checkers or more community sentiment-driven products like Community Notes. I agree with Nick and Balaji that prediction markets will help improve data, news and ultimately, public discourse by gamifying truth.
We’ll likely be able to get more creative in terms of how zk-tech is used for things like truth verification, too, which will cut down on misinformation by enabling proof that a given statement is true (this picture came from my device at this time) without revealing any additional information. This granularity could help resolve increasingly more subjective information markets… I think it will do $300 million [by October 2024].
Uniswap-like growth for Overtime, with 800% growth in 2023 and 400% in 2024. Options growth is constant at 80%. Exotic markets are brought back for the 2024 election and match Polymarket’s 2020 election volume. Overtime launches on Arbitrum and Polygon and sees a comparable share of Optimism volume as the Thales AMM.Polymarket targeted niche markets such as esports and political races. This strategy worked well at times, with the 2020 election and COVID-19 anchoring Polymarket’s breach of $200M total volume.
