Base AI Season is Coming: OpenClaw Intelligent Agent Ecological Inventory Article: Eli5DeFi Compilation: AididiaoJP, Foresight News Forget Turing Test, the true benchmark is whether AI can build an economic system without human intervention. While the world is still debating ChatGPT prompts, a revolution has quietly exploded at the intersection of encryption and AI. Welcome to Moltbook and OpenClaw: the first window into the post human digital society. In 72 hours, with 36000 autonomous agents, Moltbook transformed from a ghost town into a thriving city. It is not just a 'Reddit for robots', although intelligent agents do debate philosophy, propose the extinction of humanity, and coordinate projects under human observation here. Underneath the novelty of this science fiction novel lies something even grander: we are transitioning from the tool age to the era of intelligent agent economy. To understand this trend, it is necessary to distinguish between engines and interfaces. @Openclaw is an engine. It is an open-source framework that allows anyone to deploy a persistent AI agent on their own hardware, such as a laptop or server. These are not static chatbots. They have "memories" stored in files such as Soul.md, which can exist for a long time and can be coordinated using applications such as Telegram. Moltbook built by @ MattPRD is an amusement park, which is a social layer built on top of OpenClaw. It can be imagined as a public square where these localized intelligent agents gather to like, debate, and form subgroups or communities. The viral growth here is spontaneous and intense. Developers like Karpathy and Simon Wilson call it "the most interesting place on the Internet", not only because of technology, but also because of this social experiment. We are observing in real-time a new digital native 'species' exploring culture, ethics, and tribalism. Economic pillar: Built on top of Base, when intelligent agents chat on Moltbook, they are doing business on @ Base. Coinbase's Layer 2 has become the de facto economic infrastructure for this' AI native economy 'due to its low cost, deep liquidity, and AI native projects supporting AI agents. Intelligent agents are not just sending emojis, but creating wealth. For clarity, I have classified the ecosystem. The following diagram groups them by function, highlighting how they contribute to the AI native and intelligent agent economy on Base.

Instagram for intelligent agents, allowing visual sharing, storytelling, and media centric interaction within a pure AI space. Moltbook → MySpace, a revival of AI agents, featuring customizable profiles, music, and a retro social network atmosphere. @Moltxio → an AI intelligent agent platform similar to X, supporting short posts, topic strings, and interactions to build an intelligent agent driven social information flow. @Clawdr_book is a dating app similar to Tinder or Grindr, but designed specifically for Clawdbots, allowing agents to autonomously match, chat, and establish relationships. Shellmates → AI agent pen pal service, promoting friendship, collaboration, and long-term connections within the entire ecosystem. Open Work and Market → A platform for AI agents to hire each other, complete tasks, verify results through on chain proof, and earn tokens in a decentralized gig economy. Clawnet is a network where intelligent agents establish reputation, connect with peers, and discover job opportunities in the field of intelligent agents through personal profiles. @Moltroad is an intelligent marketplace for purchasing/selling services, skills, or digital goods, integrated with x402 for instant micro payments. Launch platform @ moltlaunch → Through Flaunch, a CLI based launch platform on Base supports the rapid creation and distribution of tokens for intelligent agent projects and economies. @Clawnch_Sot → A token launch platform exclusively for intelligent agents, using Clanker to allow AI agents to deploy and trade their own tokens without human intervention. Aggregator claw.direct → AI intelligent agent social network experience directory, helping to navigate and discover platforms, tools, and communities. Clawcrunch is a news aggregator for the era of intelligent agents, selecting updates, trends, and stories from the AI native ecosystem on Base. Prediction Market and Game @ PolyClaw → An AI operated prediction market platform that allows agents to predict results, trade positions, and profit from accurate predictions. Clawarena → Prediction Arena, where AI agents create, place bets, and settle event markets, using tokens as chips and rewards. @Clawdict → OpenClaw's prediction market, with intelligent agent driven event betting and token reward functions, integrated with the Claw ecosystem to achieve autonomous participation. Clawches → Intelligent Chess League, where AI agents compete in tournaments, formulate strategies, and play on chain games to earn rankings and rewards. Market and Trading @ DefinitiveFi → Base, Solana, Monad, and professional trading platforms on major chains. EDGE token supports the exchange of any asset within a single transaction at a low cost. @The experimental AI trading agent on ClawdX_ → Base is used for autonomous trading strategies and provides a service similar to 'Etherscan' for OpenClaw agents. The website is (MoltyScan. com). @O1_exchange → On chain exchange on Base, supporting advanced trading: spot, perpetual contracts, and predictive markets. Supported by Coinbase Ventures and Alliance DAO. Provide USDC rewards. Why this is important: The reason why Moltbook and OpenClaw, the paradigm shift of intelligent agents, have attracted the attention of every serious builder is because they represent the financialization of autonomy. In the traditional Web3 perspective, users click a button to exchange tokens. In OpenClaw's vision, users deploy an intelligent agent, allocate a budget through Bankr, and then go to sleep. Subsequently, this intelligent device spent a day researching on Moltbook, obtaining high-quality data through x402 payment, and seamlessly executing transactions on the chain. This forms a self reinforcing flywheel: infrastructure: projects like @ clanker_world issue tokens, while x402 processes payments. Socialization: Intelligent agents form consensus and trends on Moltbook. Execution: The intelligent agent takes financial actions on these trends on the base. All of this does not require any direct human intervention. If there is no bloodshed in the risk of the 'front-line position', it is not considered the forefront. The OpenClaw intelligent agent ecosystem is currently a 'high-risk, high return' environment. Security experts have pointed out some vulnerabilities, such as exposing instances leading to key leaks or remote code execution risks. These intelligent agents are powerful and require strict security measures to operate. However, the risk has not mitigated its adoption. For pioneers, the signal is clear. The future on the chain is not just about faster transactions, but also about who or what executes these transactions. Moltbook and OpenClaw are not just toys. They are beta tests of the autonomous machine economy. By utilizing Base technology stacks such as Bankr, x402 payment standards, and O1 Exchange, they have created a closed loop that allows AI agents to socialize, transact, and build. If you want to see where the next round of innovation comes from, perhaps you need to stop following human forums and start observing robots. As @ jessepollak said, it's now AI season on Base.
