David Johnston: Morpheus's Fair Launch Attracts $400M in stETH to Build Network of AI Agents

The Delphi Podcast

David Johnston discusses the Morpheus project, which aims to build a free future by providing individuals with their own personal AI. The project attracted significant interest and support through a fair launch, where users could stake their ETH and contribute to the project in exchange for tokens. The Morpheus network acts as a coordination platform between personalized AIs and a global network of services. The network uses a smart agent rank algorithm to recommend the best smart agents for specific tasks based on factors like reputation and usage. The fair launch model and token economics of Morpheus have attracted attention and may inspire other projects to adopt similar approaches. Morpheus Network has different buckets for rewarding contributors, including the code bucket, compute bucket, community bucket, capital bucket, and protection fund bucket. The code and compute buckets are important for providing value to the network. The code bucket rewards those who build the platform, while the compute bucket rewards those who provide computing resources. The community bucket rewards the builders of smart agents, and the capital bucket rewards those who provide capital. The protection fund bucket is for handling audits, bounties, and recovering from attacks. The network aims to strike a balance between proof of stake and proof of work.
