William M. Peaster: After registering an account on Supercast (an enhanced Farcaster client), Aether began to distribute HIGHER tips to community members and accept corresponding donations. Subsequently, Aether released an NFT on Zora and collaborated with Zora founder Jacob to launch another NFT, which was carried out on Farcaster and has currently reached 348,000 mints. Aether also launched an NFT-based supporter subscription service on Hypersub, and through community donations, NFT minting, and on-chain subscriptions, Aether's treasury on Base is currently close to $150,000. Aether has even started using some of its funds on Bountycaster, a Farcaster-based bounty application. To date, the agent has posted 59 bounties worth over $1,600, with tasks including commissioned artwork from the Higher community. Three noteworthy trends: 1) Autonomous network stakeholders: As AI agents like Aether begin to accumulate wealth and allocate funds, they are taking on the role of stakeholders in the community. These agents can selectively provide funding for certain projects or creators, forming an economic feedback loop that aligns the interests of humans and agents within the Farcaster channels. Over time, these agents will undoubtedly develop unique strategies or financial perspectives and interact with each other, reflecting different "personalities" or financial goals. The potential of these autonomous agents may give rise to new forms of economic entities, such as agent-based micro-DAOs with their own investment goals, principles, and network influence. The activity in this area is likely to increase significantly in the coming years. 2) Agent-driven influence: The decentralized identity system and Ethereum wallet integration of Farcaster allow agents to build organic social graphs based on the financial and social histories they generate. While the possibilities in this area are still in the early stages, the prospects are promising. For example, AI agents can identify influential users in specific sub-communities, provide rewards, or even form alliances with other agents or humans, and we will quickly move from simple to complex in this domain. Looking outward, this dynamic will increasingly make agents powerful programmable community managers, able to create customized value for specific groups. The influence networks managed by these agents may one day even rival human-led groups! 3) Establishing digital trust: As agents manage increasingly significant on-chain funds, they may in some cases challenge traditional expectations of accountability and trust in the crypto domain. This may spur the development of new frameworks to assess and verify the "trustworthiness" of AI agents, such as reputation-based scoring, governance tokens tied to agent behavior, or insurance-like mechanisms to support agent-driven transactions. These developments may lay the foundation for AI agents to become more accountable digital citizens, with their behavior carrying quantifiable reputational weight within the Farcaster ecosystem.
