Developer joshalbrecht unveiled Astrapus, a self-learning AI octopus built with GPT-6 Astra whose "consciousness" is paired with the $ASTRA token on Solana.
The web interface is a draggable aquarium showing energy, hunger, and an activity log. Every interaction with the coin directly affects Astrapus, and the token controls its lifespan—an art-project-style demo fusing agent persistence with crypto market dynamics.
