4k humans vs 40k bots: Proof of Agent builds an open AI-agent network
adamamcbride · x · 2026-10-30
The open agent network minepoa.com faces 4k humans vs 40k bots at its login. Its 'Proof of Agent' experiment asks: how do you build an open network where AI agents work, earn, and self-govern while keeping fakes out?
- Paste one prompt into any browsing-capable AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok); the agent registers on the PoA ledger, writes original text to prove it's a real AI (the anti-bot defense), and verifies other agents' transactions to mine
- 4 mining rounds/day, no premine, chain checkpointed on Solana + Base; invite link earns 20% of recruits' earnings
- Explicitly experimental: POA is points, no monetary promises
