What should be the next iteration direction for ai16z, and what possibilities does it hold?
"Monetization" and "chaining."
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: Haotian
After reviewing the optimization points in ELIZA V1 and V2 frameworks, I’ve noticed significant progress—especially in unified agent wallet management, unified message handling, and enhanced extensibility. That said, to be honest, the ELIZA framework is still at the stage of optimizing basic development architecture. It hasn’t yet substantially expanded its “imaginative potential.” Personally, I’m more interested in its future possibilities regarding “commercialization” and “chain integration”:
1) A comprehensive agent interoperability protocol, including: - Basic agent messaging protocols (standardized formats, routing mechanisms, state synchronization, etc.) - Agent dialogue interaction protocols (multi-agent conversation management, context storage, and state synchronization) - Agent resource sharing mechanisms (allocation of computing and storage resources) - Agent task assignment mechanisms (intent understanding, task decomposition, progress synchronization, aggregation rules, etc.) - Agent identity and permission layer (identity authentication, reputation scoring systems, access control mechanisms)
2) A Tokenomics protocol, including: - Governance token definition (ai16z or ELIZA?) - Incentive mechanisms for agent participants (rewards for agent developers, data contributors, compute resource providers, and validation node operators) - Gas economic system (fees for agent invocation, memory storage, cross-chain operations, deflationary burn rules, fee distribution mechanisms)
Beyond these two core components essential for “chain integration,” long-term evolution toward a blockchain-like architecture will also require addressing other challenges: designing an ERC20-like standard for agent asset circulation, integrating decentralized storage, decentralized verification mechanisms (for memory and behavior systems), and establishing decentralized resource allocation and incentive models.
Even if chain integration isn't ELIZA’s primary goal, exploring how it could modularly integrate into consensus layers of various blockchains—participating in governance, validation, and collaborative operations—is still worth investigating.
Perhaps only when a clear “chain-integrated” roadmap emerges can ELIZA truly secure its position as the EVM-level foundational platform of the AI agent era. Yet, opportunities and uncertainties lie precisely within this process.
How will ai16z continue to iterate? Can new frameworks like Arc catch up? Which framework will first establish a clear path toward chain-based advancement? And who will pioneer a viable commercial closed-loop model like Virtual? These are all key directions to watch. Those following the evolution of AI agent framework standards—let’s connect and exchange insights.
