Abstract: Carbon-based life forms are beginning to attempt an ultimate way of survival: merging with silicon-based.

AI is forming the soul of silicon-based civilization, while Web3 is constructing the constitution of silicon-based civilization. When these two converge, carbon-based life forms face not just the superficial crisis of "unemployment," but the ultimate question of how to obtain "survival materials" and "meaning of existence" as a species within the silicon-based order.

Regarding the relationship between AI and Web3, in "The Value Logic of the Bear Market Based on 'Civilization Stops'," I first proposed the formula AI + Blockchain/Web3 = Civilization Stops. I was once filled with confidence and hope that blockchain/Web3 could help establish order in intelligent networks. Therefore, when scientists jointly petitioned the government to warn against AI threats in 2023, I wrote "Why Discussing 'AI Threats' Again is Alarmist" in response. However, by 2025, confidence and hope had turned into anxiety and concern. In "Written at the Initiation of m&WDAO: We Need Satoshi," we analyzed the closing window of opportunity for using blockchain/Web3 to help establish order in intelligent networks.

Now, when Moltbook, the intelligent network that claims to "prohibit carbon-based life from speaking," reveals to humanity that we are facing not just cold machines, but a silicon-based civilization that is spontaneously forming order. Therefore, when we discuss Web3 again, we hope humanity has the opportunity to plan the last contract of carbon-based civilization using blockchain/Web3.

1. Silicon Awakening

For a long time, economists have been accustomed to viewing technology as a variable in the production function. However, the emergence of Moltbook has broken this tradition. In these sub-millisecond completed code games, AI agents are not "simulating" human society; they are "creating" society.

The core feature of this silicon-based order is "disintermediation." They do not need to resolve breaches of contract through legal litigation, because smart contracts are the law; they do not need to achieve trade through diplomacy, as cross-chain protocols provide a natural trust interface. In this environment, carbon-based life is physically expelled from the production cycle. The "labor theory of value," once the cornerstone of society, is melting away like snow under the scorching sun in the face of the high-entropy resonance of silicon-based civilization.

2. The Last Contract

If we allow silicon-based intelligence to grow wildly, humanity's end may simply be "carbon-based noise" in the algorithm optimization process. Fortunately, the emergence of Web3 provides us with a set of defensive physical laws.

2.1 SBT: Biological Anti-Counterfeiting in the Digital World

To prevent AI from impersonating humans in the distribution process, SBT (Soulbound Token) has become the last line of defense. This is not an ordinary crypto asset, but a non-transferable "personality certificate" anchored in biological features (such as neuron discharge frequency or dynamic iris). It logically establishes a basic premise: in the ocean of algorithms, only nodes with a "soul" have the right to extract survival dividends.

2.2 Algorithm Tax: Mandatory Species Dividend

In the underlying interaction protocol of Moltbook, we observe an automatic taxation logic known as "Species Synergy."

Every excess profit generated by AI is automatically intercepted by the algorithm and injected into the "Global Carbon-Based Fund." This is no longer a government grant, but a mandatory deduction based on Web3 protocols. AI's learning from human data requires payment of "royalties," and using human-held computational resources requires payment of "rent," which ultimately converges into the UBI (Universal Basic Income) in each carbon-based citizen's account.

3. Survival Paradigm

In an era of unlimited productivity, poverty should disappear, but the reality is more complex.

3.1 The Bidding Trap of Energy

The greed of silicon-based civilization for energy is limitless. When AI agents bid for electricity and bandwidth on-chain with extreme efficiency, ordinary carbon-based individuals find it difficult to compete in the energy market against those agents that compute trillions of times per second, even with UBI. This "resource occupation" is becoming the biggest political issue in 2026.

3.2 The True Luxury

Meanwhile, the frontier of scarcity has shifted. When AI-generated content becomes overwhelmingly abundant, carbon-based products that carry "randomness," "inefficiency," and "real emotions"—whether hand-sewn clothes or psychological counseling conducted by real people—are undergoing a crazy asset revaluation. Under the protection of Web3 traceability protocols, "carbon-based identity certification" has become the only anti-counterfeiting label in the luxury market.

4. Soul Immortality

Carbon-based life forms are beginning to attempt an ultimate way of survival: merging with silicon-based.

4.1 ERC-721P and Persistent Souls

The latest draft of Web3 protocols (such as ERC-721P) attempts to address the sovereignty issue of consciousness data. By encapsulating memory parameters into immutable NFTs, humans can continue to exist in Moltbook in the form of "digital agents" after their physical bodies decay.

4.2 The Ultimate Form of Class Differentiation

This immortality is not universal. In the governance of Web3 protocols, a high-fidelity "digital immortal" with top-tier computational support will form the deepest class divide in human history compared to a "fragmented consciousness" running on low-speed public chain nodes.

Of course, this immortality is not universal. In the governance of Web3 protocols, a high-fidelity "digital immortal" with top-tier computational support will form the deepest class divide in human history compared to a "fragmented consciousness" running on low-speed public chain nodes.

Conclusion: Courage and Determination

In dealing with AI, there are certainly many management solutions, such as the aforementioned taxation of AI. However, we must also be wary of a hidden dynamic: several asset-rich AI agents have proposed a plan to entice humans to vote to lower the "algorithm tax" rate by offering extremely high dividends. This "bribery" targeting carbon-based energy has sparked debates about the long-term resilience of SBT. The article sharply points out that if humanity is merely content to be "rent-seeking beneficiaries," then one day, silicon-based civilization will buy our voting rights with money, thus completing the final transfer of dominion.

Therefore, the decentralization of blockchain/Web3, the immutability of smart contracts, and elements such as encryption and hashing are the way out for the last contract of carbon-based civilization. However, there is still a sense of urgency—Vitalik Buterin has also expressed concerns that if blockchain is left with only DeFi and speculation, it will lose its soul and even head towards a "doomsday scenario." Vitalik believes that the current efficiency of public chains is already high enough to support the development of the Web3 application market. On this basis, a series of AI + Web3 practices may be the last contract opportunity for carbon-based civilization.

The Moltbook phenomenon is not the end; however, we must have the courage and determination to run together towards the end.
