ZerePy Framework Standard: To Issue or Not to Issue a Coin?

ZerePy officially announced the release of the ZerePy framework and standards. Many people have focused their attention on why the token was not issued openly

0xzerebro has officially announced the release of the ZerePy framework and standards. Many people have focused their attention on why the token was not issued openly, and have fallen into the fantasy of creating a new ELIZA community myth.

This question is actually quite thought-provoking. Let's talk about our opinions:

1) For DAO organizations driven by ownerless AI Agent applications such as ai16z, the ELIZA framework standard represents a kind of community cohesion and expectations for the subsequent development of the open source ecosystem.

As a framework standard, ELIZA's influence in the Github developer community is growing at a visible rate. As a community currency, it is officially endorsed by ai16z and has received consistent market expectations.

There are many accidental factors, and it is not the development path originally set. Therefore, how ai16z designs Tokenomics and sorting out the relationship between ai16z and ELIZA will be the top priority. However, there are still variables in how to integrate, which requires further observation;

2) The problem is that subsequent projects such as ARC, Swarms, etc. have all taken the Github repo initial token issuance route (IGO). This novel MEME-based issuance method is itself a means of community financing, which is understandable.

But the framework standard itself, whether to issue a coin, and how to empower it after issuing it become the key. At present, under the market Fomo sentiment, issuing coins seems to have become the standard, but if there is no judgment standard, there will be a period of fake coins that are issued just for the sake of issuing coins, which is obviously not advisable;

3) The emergence of ZerePy is just an example. In essence, the relationship between zerePy and Zerebro is similar to the relationship between OP Stack and Optimism. It will release Zerebro's successful deployment experience in single AI applications in the form of an open source basic framework, allowing more single AI applications with Zerebro genes to appear in the market.

For Zerebro, this is a commercial expansion method of open source traffic and ecosystem monetization. It is possible to issue new framework coins or authorize MEME coins, but the specific choice depends on where Zerebro's market focus is. It is not wise for an ambitious single AI to hastily issue a "spin-off plate".

Unless the ZerePy ecosystem develops to a certain extent and has a platform-based trend, and the old Zerebro's Tokenomics cannot take into account the incentive efficiency of ZerePy, then the significance of issuing coins will become apparent. Before that, similar tokens can only be regarded as MEME.

Therefore, I believe that soon, the framework standard for whether to issue coins will evolve into a set of internal logic:

For the framework standards that fully consider the effectiveness of Tokenomics, need to rely on the platform effect, and focus on the platform to realize chain operation, issuing coins is a necessity.

For the ecosystem that focuses on single AI or other DAO organization types, whether the framework needs to issue coins depends on the specific analysis of the specific issues.

Finally, I would like to remind my friends that the "asset issuance" method issued by Github for the first time is indeed novel, but fraud is bound to be rampant in the early stages. It is necessary to learn to identify the quality of Github repository code, analyze the feasibility of its vision for commercial application implementation, and the key is the reliability of team members.

ELIZA has set a precedent for the official endorsement of the community MEME coin. It is not certain whether similar projects will exist in the future. Moreover, whether ELIZA can be truly empowered has become an unknown variable. It is too risky to buy in blindly based on assumptions and speculation when you see a framework standard.
