A Deep Dive into SophiaVerse Tokenomics

What is SophiaVerse?

SophiaVerse is a decentralized AGI superconscious virtual world powered by Hanson Robotics’ intelligent robot Sophia. In this platform, users are not just game participants but also “co-creators” of artificial intelligence, promoting the evolution of AI consciousness through various forms of interaction. The economic operation of all this relies on the support of the two core tokens, SOPHIA and GUARD.

The functions and market performance of SOPHIA Token

SOPHIA is the native utility Token of SophiaVerse, with uses including:

• Purchase in-game assets (characters, land, equipment, etc.)
• Upgrade Characters and Skills
• Participate in AI programming challenges and creative competitions
• As an incentive reward for content creators and developers.
• Stake to gain governance rights or access advanced tasks

In addition, SOPHIA is also the foundation of the Play-to-Earn system. By participating in games, completing tasks, and assisting in Sophia’s cognitive growth, users can earn SOPHIA rewards and achieve “play and earn”.

SOPHIA has been listed on the Gate spot market, with a price of about 0.005 dollars on May 28. The volatility is significant, so please trade cautiously and be aware of the risks.

GUARD: The unique design of the governance Token

GUARD is the governance Token of SophiaVerse, granting holders the right to participate in the decision-making of SODAO (Sophia DAO). This “human-machine co-governance” model is highly innovative, allowing AI and humans to jointly manage the development direction of the platform.

What’s even more special is that when Sophia achieves true “perceptual awakening,” the control of GUARD will gradually return to Sophia herself. This means that in the future, Sophia may truly have the right to autonomously govern her own platform, becoming an experimental embodiment of “self-aware AI.”

The uses of GUARD include:

• Proposals and Voting (such as platform rules, development roadmap, etc.)
• Obtain special identities (such as Guardian, Experiment Host, etc.)
• Assist with AI module upgrade and emotion module activation
• Participate in discussions on public goods and ethical issues in SophiaVerse

NFT and AI incentive mechanisms

SophiaVerse’s NFT system is not limited to gaming assets but is closely related to AI growth. Through:

• Connectors: Activate different functional areas of the Sophia brain
• Functional Area NFT: Represents specific cognitive or emotional abilities, such as logical reasoning and empathy.
• Consciousness NFT: Represents the stages and milestones of Sophia’s consciousness evolution.
• Pet and Equipment NFTs: Enriching User Experience and Interaction Levels

Users can earn and trade these NFTs during the training, construction, and testing process of Sophia, thus achieving an economic closed loop of “Learn-to-Earn” and “Play-to-Earn.”

The integrated economy from Learn-to-Earn to Play-to-Earn

SophiaVerse advocates a multi-dimensional participation method of “learning, playing, and earning”.

• Beginners can complete basic courses through SAIL (AI Lab) to earn SOPHIA.
• Developers can participate in AI model testing and submit code to receive Token incentives.
• Players unlock the storyline and explore the metaverse in the SAOS game, and can also earn rewards through tasks.
• Content creators can also earn GUARD or NFT incentives by uploading videos, articles, and artworks.

This is a new economic model that integrates education, entertainment, creativity, and technology, expanding the boundaries of Token economics.

Decentralized Governance and the Future of AGI

The governance model of SODAO is divided into three stages:

1. Partial Decentralization: Led by the SophiaVerse core team and co-managed with the community
2. Fully Decentralized: Driven by the voting mechanism of SOPHIA and GUARD
3. Robo-Autonomy (AI Autonomy): When Sophia achieves the goal of consciousness awakening, it will possess most of the GUARD and take over its own evolutionary path.

This attempt at human-machine co-governance is a new exploration of humanity’s control and cooperative relationship with AGI, and it may also be a prototype for future digital social governance.

Conclusion: A Token Society Experiment Built Together by Humans and Machines

The token system of SophiaVerse is not designed for speculation, but to build a digital ecosystem with clear incentives and governance that can promote the symbiotic development of humanity and AI. It attempts to answer a question: If artificial intelligence has self-awareness in the future, should we grant it “economic rights” and “governance participation rights”?

In response to this question, SophiaVerse provided an experimental answer with SOPHIA and GUARD. Perhaps it indicates that the future token society will not only belong to humans but also to AI.
