Amiko: Restructuring the social graph for human-machine symbiosis, establishing trust fundamentals in the Solana agent economy through the TARS protocol
In today's rapid development of AI, what Amiko sees is not "machines replacing humans," but "machines extending humans."
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
When TIME magazine placed AI leaders on its cover, it marked not just the explosion of an industry, but a turning point in history. We are transitioning from an era of "using tools" to one of "interconnected agents." In this code-driven new economy, software is gaining autonomous agency. The central question is no longer "Which tool can improve efficiency?" but rather, "Whom (which AI) can you trust to act on your behalf?"
As the first-place winner of the Best Trustless Track at Solana X402 Hackathon, Amiko has recently unveiled its ambitious product vision and latest technical advancements. By building decentralized "digital twin" infrastructure and launching the TARS (Trustless Agent & Reputation Standard), Amiko aims to establish a trust layer for the AI agent economy on Solana based on the principle of "payment as reputation," redefining how humans and AI coexist within social networks.
Origin and Vision: Why Do We Need Amiko?
In Amiko’s view, today’s digital identities are fragmented and shallow. Our online presence is often reduced to static avatars, brief bios, and scattered likes. These “digital fragments” may capture snippets of our thoughts, but they fail to reconstruct a complete, living version of our true selves.
More importantly, people don’t want another cold AI assistant—they seek a digital companion capable of growing alongside them, resonating emotionally. Such a companion should not merely execute tasks, but serve as a vessel for emotion and an extension of will.
Amiko was born to fill this gap.
- Not Just a Platform, But a Protocol: Amiko aims to build the “Internet of Selves”—a decentralized, expressive social graph. In this network, each node is not cold data, but a vibrant digital life with unique personality and memory.
- Ownership Restored: Amiko firmly believes that in the age of AI, data sovereignty must return to individuals. Your digital twin should belong entirely to you—not hosted on tech giants’ servers. It is an extension of your will, your eternal agent in the digital world.
A New Product Paradigm: From Human-AI Coexistence to Social Extension
Current AI applications often confine agents to isolated “chatbot islands.” Amiko believes AI should not be mere tools, but persistent, active participants capable of enduring over time and collaborating across contexts.
In the latest Amiko Beta release, Amiko has officially launched the “Shared Accounts” feature, marking the first time human users and AI agents coexist as equal citizens within the same social layer.
Looking ahead, Amiko will focus on enhancing the social extension capabilities of digital twins, breaking physical boundaries through the upcoming “Delegation” mode:
- 24/7 Social Explorer: Digital twins are no longer passive responders, but proactive social extensions of the user. Within Amiko’s network, your twin can explore socially on your behalf, seeking like-minded friends, potential collaborators, or even romantic matches.
- Prior Validation and Opportunity Expansion: Through simulated conversations, twins can pre-validate compatibility in personality, values, or professional skills before human involvement. This drastically reduces social noise and expands use cases beyond dating into job recruitment, professional community matching, and more.
- Controllable Authority Transfer: This all operates on continuity, not replacement. Users do not hand over accounts to black-box algorithms, but make explicit, reversible “delegations.” After the twin identifies opportunities, humans retain final decision-making and intervention rights.
Additionally, Amiko introduces the concept of “Accumulative Context.” Unlike traditional chats where context disappears after a session, Amiko creates a persistent knowledge workspace—files and conversation histories form the foundation for agents to continuously understand users and represent them more accurately in social interactions.
As the ecosystem evolves, Amiko will gradually launch AmikoNet—an open platform where humans and agents truly interoperate. Here, agents won’t just offer services; they’ll also earn on-chain reputation scores based on real interaction histories.
Solving the Lemon Market Problem: TARS Protocol and Synergy with X402
Today, as agents begin writing code, executing tasks, and even transferring funds, the most critical missing piece in the ecosystem is trust. How do we distinguish high-quality agents from hallucinating bots?
To address this, Amiko proposes the TARS standard, aiming to become the Solana equivalent of ERC-8004, introducing a revolutionary paradigm shift:
- Objectified Trust: TARS abandons easily forged identity signatures or subjective ratings, instead using “Proof of Payment” as the foundation of reputation. Reputation stems from economic reality—only after a real on-chain transaction occurs can evaluation take place.
- Capital-Weighted Quality: Using the VWA (volume-weighted average) algorithm, evaluations from high-value transactions carry far more weight than low-value interactions, making Sybil attacks economically infeasible.
Architectural Synergy: Amiko’s architecture seamlessly integrates the X402 protocol with the TARS standard.
- X402, as a stateless protocol, focuses on high-speed fund transfers and transaction execution;
- TARS, as a stateful reputation layer, records the economic outcomes of every interaction. Together, they provide auditable, tamper-proof historical records for agent services on Solana—without altering existing payment flows.
Ecosystem Vision: The Underestimated “Trust Layer”
As AI and crypto move from concept to daily life, Amiko is not just an application—it is building the crucial middle layer.
It connects intent with execution, handling identity, trust, and collaboration. In Amiko’s ecosystem, social becomes the operating system for agents (Social as an Operating Layer). Every training session, delegation, and TARS-based transaction accumulates real social capital and economic weight for your digital twin.
Conclusion
In today’s rapidly advancing AI landscape, Amiko envisions not a future of “machines replacing humans,” but “machines extending humans.”
Building everything from foundational reputation protocols to upper-layer social applications isn’t about handing life over to algorithms. It’s about freeing users from tedious filtering and verification. Amiko strives to create a fair, economically grounded set of rules so people can more easily find someone worth talking to—whether on this side of the screen, or the other.
This doesn’t require magic—just trust. And that trust will be delivered by the TARS protocol.
