Advancements in programmable cryptography and decentralized AI inference networks enable complex AI tasks. These developments suggest that blockchain has the potential to evolve into a planetary-scale computation megastructure. This could be considered an unstoppable 'nature' that may foster self-sovereign AI agents, leading to the emergence of artificial life (ALife).[→]
