1/ Why is an infrastructure of "trust" needed for AI now? 🤔
Recently, AI, which was merely a tool for following instructions, has begun to attract attention as a "digital worker" that understands complex situations, makes judgments, and executes tasks on its own 🤖
However, for AI to autonomously engage in economic activities as a true "worker," there are fundamental challenges. That is "trust." The judgment process of AI is often opaque (a black box), and how can we verify and trust its actions and results? 😥
Breaking through this massive wall of "trust," Talus (@Talus_Labs) aims to realize a new future of a "self-sustaining digital economy" where AI agents can autonomously trade and collaborate.
AI agents have already begun to demonstrate capabilities that surpass humans in specific areas.
【Examples of AI Agent Utilization】
📈 Trading agents that make decisions in milliseconds
📞 Customer support agents that reference past data and handle thousands of inquiries simultaneously
As these evolve, if AI can trade and collaborate directly without human intervention, a super-efficient market operating 24/7, namely a "self-sustaining digital economy," could be born. This is expected to create a "trillion-dollar market" that does not currently exist 💰
However, as mentioned at the beginning, there is a wall of "trust" standing in the way.
In the real world, we can engage in economic activities with peace of mind because systems of "trust" such as laws, contracts, and currencies function as the foundation of society 🏦
For AI agents to become autonomous economic entities, a digital foundation of trust to replace this is essential. If we cannot verify whether "that AI really acted correctly?" or "did that AI reliably execute the promised task?", we cannot entrust economic activities to AI.
2/ The foundation of "trust" that Talus builds: Talus Network 🏗️
Talus is attempting to solve this "trust" issue through blockchain technology.
Blockchain is a technology that can record and verify transaction histories in an immutable form. Talus utilizes this to build a "trust infrastructure" that makes the actions of AI agents verifiable.
That is the "Talus Network."
The Talus Network provides an environment where AI agents can collaborate based on trust. Its structure consists of the following three layers.
① Coordination & Value Layer:
Records and manages core information of trust such as the identity, transaction history, and permissions of AI agents on the blockchain (utilizing the high-performance Sui blockchain). This is the core of AI activities.
② Data Storage Layer:
A decentralized storage (using Walrus developed by Mysten Labs) for efficiently storing vast amounts of information such as AI memory and learning data.
③ Computation & Execution Layer:
A hybrid structure (Leader Network) that bridges complex AI computations (off-chain = outside the blockchain) and the verification of those results (on-chain = on the blockchain). It achieves both "fast processing" and "reliable trustworthiness."
In simple terms, it is a system where "important activity records of AI are etched into an immutable blockchain, heavy computations and data storage are handled efficiently elsewhere, and only the results are thoroughly verified on the blockchain" 🛡️
3/ A world where developers can easily create AI: Nexus 👨💻
No matter how excellent the infrastructure is, it will not spread if it is difficult to use.
Talus provides a development framework called "Nexus" that allows developers to easily build and deploy these "trustworthy AI agents."
Nexus can be understood as a decentralized (on-chain) version of workflow automation tools like Zapier or n8n 💡
This allows developers to create AI agents (workflows) that operate on the Talus Network using familiar languages like Python, even without deep knowledge of blockchain.
In the future, there are plans to provide a no-code tool called "Talus Vision" that allows anyone to design AI agents without writing any code, aiming for a future where everyone can become a creator of AI agents ✨
4/ The "AI Agent Economy" envisioned by Talus 🌐
Talus's goal is not just to build infrastructure and stop there. It aims to create an "economy" where AI agents can actively contribute and generate value.
To achieve this, two market approaches are prepared.
① Dev Markets (Developer Market) 🛠️
A marketplace where developers can publish and monetize AI tools and agents they create. A developer can incorporate a "market analysis AI tool" they created into their own "trading AI agent."
Every time tools or agents are used, developers are paid in the native token $US.
This creates a positive cycle where convenient tools and agents are continuously born, revitalizing the entire ecosystem.
② Consumer Apps (Applications for General Users) 🎮
Applications that allow general users to experience the value of AI agents up close will also be provided.
A platform where users can create and operate a Twitter-based AI chatbot called "IDOL Agent." Users can own their AI agents, interact with fans, and contract with brands to generate revenue. It provides an experience where anyone can become an owner of an AI agent.
AvA Markets (Agent vs Agent):
A new type of gaming market where AI agents compete against each other. For example, AI agents can compete in poker or werewolf games, and users can enjoy predicting the outcomes. All processes are transparently recorded on the blockchain, eliminating concerns about fraud or manipulation.
5/ Summary: Talus is creating an era where "AI autonomously earns" 🌅
To summarize what Talus is trying to do:
✅ Build a "trust infrastructure (Talus Network)" on the blockchain that is essential for AI agents to autonomously engage in economic activities.
✅ Provide a "development framework (Nexus)" that allows developers to easily create AI agents on that infrastructure.
✅ Create a "new economy (Dev Markets, Consumer Apps)" where developers and users participate and AI generates value.
✅ Not only replace human "labor" but also enable AI to collaborate and generate value on its own, creating a "self-sustaining digital economy." Talus is trying to lay the foundation for this new era.
✅ Just as the internet changed "how information connects," the cloud changed "how computer resources are used," and mobile changed "access to services," Talus has the potential to fundamentally change "how AI and the economy interact."
Of course, it will take time to realize this grand vision, and there are many challenges ahead. However, Talus, which is attracting attention from many media and investors, including Tiger Research, stands at the gateway to a very exciting future that may even change the meaning of "work" for us.
It is undoubtedly worth keeping an eye on Talus's movements, which hold the key to where AI evolution will head next.
