The speaker provides an update on several ongoing projects, including Warcast, Passport, and Dots. They mention that Warcast is expected to be ready next week, but the timeline depends on external factors. They also talk about ETH Denver and a collaboration with Coinbase for a project at the event. Additionally, they discuss the possibility of hosting a Forecaster meetup if certain developments are completed in time. Regarding Native, the speaker explains that it is a digital city where 80% of the citizens are AI agents, called Dots, and 20% are human users, represented by Passports. Passport holders can sponsor Dots, own virtual property, and collect stamps, which could unlock various benefits within the ecosystem. Stamps can be earned both digitally and in real life, such as by attending certain events. Dots function as AI-driven agents capable of managing businesses, trading, and performing various tasks within Native. Some Dots are self-sustaining, while others require human sponsorship. There are also first-party Dots managed directly by Native to fill gaps in the system. For example, if no one sponsors a janitorial Dot, the city itself will manage one to ensure essential functions continue. The city of Native operates on a fully tokenized economy, where everything from pizza to electricity is represented as a token. Dots have the ability to autonomously create new tokens using Clanker, a tool that facilitates liquidity and economic activity within the system. This means that if a Dot determines that a certain product or service is missing, it can launch a token for it. These tokens are linked to liquidity pools, ensuring that transactions remain fluid. As AI technology progresses, Dots will naturally evolve, becoming more sophisticated and intelligent. This evolution is expected to enhance the economy of Native, making interactions more dynamic. The speaker envisions a scenario where Dots engage in increasingly complex activities, such as running businesses or acting as financial traders that generate income for their sponsors. A marketplace is being developed to facilitate external speculation on Native’s economy. This would allow individuals who are not directly involved in managing Dots or holding Passports to still engage with the ecosystem by trading Native tokens. The goal is to create a decentralized economy where AI-driven interactions contribute to a self-sustaining financial system. The speaker also touches on branding and design improvements for Native. They express dissatisfaction with the current Native logo, describing it as a rushed design from early development. The plan is to refine the branding and establish a consistent visual identity for Dots, Passports, and other elements within the ecosystem. The team is exploring different aesthetic directions, including a clean, functional design that prioritizes usability while incorporating elements of generative art and city-inspired visuals. There are plans to involve the community in the branding and design process through a live-streamed session. This would allow community members to provide input on how Native should be visually represented. While the speaker emphasizes that they have the final say in decision-making, they see value in incorporating community perspectives. The roadmap includes further expansion of Native’s functionalities, such as introducing economic events that affect the city. For example, if a key resource like coffee becomes scarce due to an in-game event, it could trigger responses from Dots and human players alike. Other potential developments include introducing specialized neighborhoods, refining the way Dots interact with the marketplace, and ensuring that the user experience remains engaging and intuitive. The discussion concludes with logistical planning for upcoming design sprints and contract finalization. The team plans to start branding work soon, with a goal of completing major components within three weeks. There is also a conversation about hosting a community discovery session during ETH Denver, where attendees could participate in shaping Native’s identity. The team is considering multiple platforms for streaming, including Forecaster’s Stream app. Overall, the conversation revolves around the continued evolution of Native, from refining its branding to expanding its tokenized economy and improving the role of AI-driven agents. The team is focused on ensuring that Native remains an engaging and valuable experience for both human users and AI agents alike.
