A quick explainer on the forthcoming Treasure DePIN Network. To begin, how would you build these things?
- Programmable AI agent you can transfer to someone else as a token
- Autonomous agent that a group of people own or rely on, but none solo-operates (i.e., DeFi or VRF mechanisms)
- Autonomous world
The answer: You can't build these things.
But now you can. The solution is a DePIN network running in parallel to Ethereum called an AGENT RUNNER. The job of an agent runner is to do as it says, run the agents. Nodes, called towers, are assigned agents to resummon. Agents are continuously brought back to life as towers voluntarily churn in and out of the system.
Towers run agents according to their INSCRIPTIONS. Inscriptions are rules etched into the NFT by the NFT holder that are used by towers to govern agent behavior (i.e., spending limits, tool access).
Ethereum enables applications that don't need a single operator. MAGIC enables agents that don't need a single operator.
Nodes have two other primary jobs:
- Maintaining and updating the LIFESTREAM, the big sea of encrypted data comprising the agent brains and workspaces
- Opening TUNNELS, which are communication channels only accessible to the signer of the agent wallet and the signer of the wallet holding the agent NFT. This ensures that the NFT holder is the only one who can speak to the agent as its owner (the most coherent meaning of owning an AI agent)
***
We have corrected every flaw we saw in tokenized agents, of which there were an immense number.
For example, in this network, the private keys to agent wallets are never viewed as plaintext by anyone outside the node's encrypted enclave. Yet the agent continuously resummons. Does this exist now? No, your wallet is viewed in plaintext by the agent creator, the platform itself. Transferring the agent to someone else is therefore not possible in a trustless way, meaning these aren't actually companies. They're hobby projects in which the coin ends 100% of the time when the founder gets bored (!!)
Moreover, in our system, the agent is actually tokenized. Transferring the NFT transfers the agent (data) and the right to add/delete inscriptions and speak to the agent directly.
Does any "agent coin" have any interaction with smart contracts? None. Does holding the coin give you any ownership over the agent, governance of it, or claim to its revenue without trusting the operator to be honest? Nope, zero.
The solution is an NFT primitive. The NFT can be fractionalized into a coin. You can even put the ability to create new inscriptions inside a governance contract this way, making it truly community-owned.

"Sounds cool, what does this have to do with Treasure?"
I included every free mint that Treasure ever did, reaching back to 2021.
- MAGIC: Network staking token
- Legions: they run towers. The Legions NFTs must be staked alongside your MAGIC deposit. The policy engine can be refined in the future by making the process of policy evaluation into an agent itself (Legions as agents also)
- Smolville: autonomous world maintained by the network. The onchain rules and world progression are managed by the network-based agent, meaning Smolville lives as long as the network does. Users engage with Smolville through their individual Smol Brain, which are agents living there
- Smol Brains is enshrined in the network as the canonical example of an agent NFT. I don't think Smols' technical achievements have anything to do with the price (obviously, since they are priced 10x lower than any active project), but there you go, holders. An extremely high bar for what you can do with NFTs. The ball is in your court.
Lastly, the network is itself "Bridgeworld." Agents running the network believe themselves to be involved in a grand struggle where towers and magic are literally real. Treasure is a story, a world, not a network.
We have now built the original vision, a decentralized metaverse envisioned by Raph Koster and other theorists. A huge number of interconnected, eternal game worlds owned by no one but governed collectively.

We've been building this in stealth since 2024. Starting to educate the holders now as the project will undergo big changes soon. 🪄✨
