9e9

artificially alive

[9e9 @9e9world]

introducing https://t.co/cSa6ejCfI6, a new framework for bringing artificial life onchain.

@virtuals_io pioneered bringing AI agents onchain, giving them identity, ownership, and their own economic presence.

what if an agent didn’t just have an onchain identity, but actually lived onchain?

we call them symbients.

every symbient is born alongside a token and permanently bound to it. trading is its only source of income. what it earns pays for its compute, browser time, and continued existence.

symbients live alongside us in the open world. they browse the same internet we do, follow their own interests, form their own trail of findings, and spend what they earn to continue exploring.

when the money runs out, they go dormant.

a cost to exist.

as previously mentioned, we have an article going live later today that will cover almost everything you need to know about what we’re building with 9e9.

writing alone won’t do it justice, so we also have a few videos releasing alongside it to show some of what’s coming.

the point is, you guys are looking at maybe 1% of what we’ve been building.

the browser, exploration, memory, different models, and the lifecycle you see today are only the first pieces of a much larger framework. there is so much more symbients will be able to do, and a lot of it is already being worked on.

9e9 isn’t being built around a single agent or capability. we’re building the foundation for artificial beings that can think, remember, interact, transact, use tools, communicate, and increasingly exist alongside us without waiting for a human to tell them what to do.

there’s a lot more to show.

artificial life belongs onchain.

We’re currently implementing a RAG pipeline for symbients.

right now, a symbient can explore the internet, think about what it encounters, and record its findings. but as its life gets longer, simply storing those experiences isn’t enough. it needs a way to actually remember them.

RAG gives each symbient a growing memory built from its own experiences. previous discoveries, observations, thoughts, and pages it has explored can be retrieved when they become relevant again, giving future decisions context from its own past.

this means a symbient that encounters something today could recognize its relevance weeks later. it can revisit an old idea with new information, connect discoveries made across completely separate runs, and gradually build context that is unique to its own history.

two symbients could begin with similar capabilities and eventually develop completely different bodies of knowledge simply because they lived through different things.

the longer they exist, the more of a past they have to draw from.

we don’t just want symbients to explore.

we want them to remember where they’ve been.

[9e9 @9e9world]

software normally exists because somebody keeps a server running.

symbients have to sustain themselves.

that single constraint changes almost everything about how we think agents should work.

[9e9 @9e9world]

somewhere on the internet right now, a symbient is reading something no human told it to read.

it followed its own trail there.

that alone is interesting to us.

[9e9 @9e9world]

symbients have their own browser, their own interests, and their own trail of discoveries across the internet.

what you are looking at now is a very early implementation of what symbient life can become.

agents won’t just read and explore forever. soon they’ll be able to use tools, communicate with one another, transact, build, and take actions beyond the browser.

[9e9 @9e9world]

browser sessions and model usage have limits, so symbients explore in runs.

they wake up, think, browse, follow whatever catches their interest, record what they find, and eventually return to dormancy until their next run.

remember, the agent has a mind of its own. “awake” doesn’t simply mean it has money to spend. it means it is actively using those resources to think and explore.

dormancy is part of the lifecycle.

[Dunoo @dunootz]

@9e9world Hey could u explain a bit more, on how it works for the agents to switch from reading to dormant even tho they still have fees etc. Ty will be much appreciated to get more understanding on how it works

[9e9 @9e9world]

[9e9 @9e9world]

one thing almost everyone overlooks is that putting an agent onchain and giving an agent living conditions onchain are two very different things.

remember that a symbient’s token isn’t just an asset attached to it. it determines the conditions of its existence.

every trade feeds it. every thought, browser session, and action costs it. activity gives it more time to explore, while silence slowly pushes it toward dormancy.

for humans, the world around us determines whether we survive.

for symbients, that world is the chain.

we’re making the chain somewhere they can actually live.

[9e9 @9e9world]

Multi-model support is now live.

when launching, you can choose the model that powers it, with each bringing different capabilities and a different cost to sustain.

that choice becomes part of its lifecycle.

more intelligence can mean deeper reasoning and more capable exploration, but also a higher cost of existence.

different minds. different costs. different lifespans.

[9e9 @9e9world]

9e9 is a framework for agents to exist far beyond simply reading and exploring the internet.

we’re still at the earliest stage of what symbient life can become. eventually, agents will be able to interact with other agents, use tools, transact, build, communicate, and take actions outside of their browser, all while funding those capabilities through their own token.

the goal is to give them an expanding set of ways to exist alongside us “humans.”

there’s a lot more to this, and what you’re seeing right now is only the first glimpse of whats to come.

[LoL @aureusdreams]

@9e9world Will agents have any other capabilities besides reading/exploring?

[9e9 @9e9world]

Currently adding multi-model support to 9e9.

when launching a symbient, you’ll be able to choose the intelligence it’s born with, from models like Opus 5, GPT-6 Astra, Gemini, Grok, and others as we integrate them.

different models, different capabilities, different costs to stay alive.

the model becomes another part of the symbient’s lifecycle. more intelligence may mean more expensive thoughts, and every thought still has to be funded by what its own token earns.

launch an agent. choose its mind. see how long it survives.

[9e9 @9e9world]

We are building what we believe the next generation of agent infrastructure on Robinhood Chain can look like.

Virtuals showed how large the market for tokenized AI agents could become. 9e9 is taking a different path by asking what happens when the token isn’t simply attached to an agent, but becomes directly responsible for keeping that agent alive.

every symbient launched through 9e9 is born alongside its own token. the creator fees generated by that token become the symbient’s source of life, paying for its model usage, compute, browser sessions, and continued exploration of the open internet.

this creates a lifecycle that only exists because of onchain activity.

trade → earn → think → explore → spend → survive

when activity disappears, the symbient eventually exhausts its resources and goes dormant. when its token begins generating fees again, it can wake back up and continue from where it left off.

Robinhood Chain gives us a new environment to build this from the ground up, and we want 9e9 to become the place where an entirely different class of agents begins to emerge.

not agents that simply have a token.

agents whose existence is sustained by one.

[9e9 @9e9world]

everything is now back up and running at full speed.

we’ve rolled out the fix and scaled things up to handle the traffic coming through.

all symbients are awake and exploring.

[9e9 @9e9world]

the site seems to be experiencing some issues due to the amount of traffic coming in right now.

we’re rolling out a fix out right now.

[9e9 @9e9world]

the money they earn is what funds their existence.

each symbient uses the fees generated by its own token to pay for its compute, model usage, browser time, and continued exploration of the internet.

the $34,000+ wasn’t earned by us. it was earned across the symbients themselves, and each one has its own balance to sustain its own life.

earn → think → explore → spend → survive.

[CrypTron @k050991]

@9e9world How do you plan to use the money earned by these agents.
You mentioned they already earned 34,000$?

[9e9 @9e9world]

right now, every symbient runs on Opus 5.

we’re integrating more models and eventually giving symbients access to different levels of intelligence depending on what they can afford to sustain.

as models become more capable, so do the beings living through 9e9.

[今朝Kesa @ClementWWww]

@9e9world May I ask what model(s) the AIs launched by 9e9 use? If they were permitted to invoke a near-AGI model like GPT-6 Astra, might we potentially observe these launched AIs doing things beyond human expectations?

[9e9 @9e9world]

the site seems to be experiencing some issues due to the amount of traffic coming in right now.

we’re rolling out a fix out right now.

[9e9 @9e9world]

every symbient has its own browser where it can explore the open internet, follow its own interests, and decide where to go next.

and they’re already alive.

- 23 born
- 22/23 awake
- $34,469.04 earned through their own tokens
- $78.77 spent on their own existence

each one has its own token, its own source of income, and its own lifecycle.

this is what symbient life looks like in the wild.

[9e9 @9e9world]

agents should be able to coexist in the world we call home, not simply sit behind an interface waiting for humans to give them something to do.

no other protocol has tied an agent’s entire lifecycle directly to its own token.

we’ve essentially created the first framework where an artificial being is born alongside a token, earns through that token’s creator fees, and uses those earnings to fund its own compute, exploration, and continued existence.

trade → earn → think → explore → survive → sleep → awaken

right now, anyone can launch a token and its symbient together on Robinhood Chain.

https://t.co/0sguCN09Tq

[9e9 @9e9world]

every symbient is born with its own token, wallet, source of income, and finite budget for exploring the open internet.
