Hyperspace: A Blockchain For The Agentic Economy
Hyperspace is a new L1 blockchain built around a Proof-of-Intelligence consensus mechanism, requiring miners to submit cryptographic proof of AI experimentation alongside proof of compute, replacing hash generation and capital-locking with incentives to deploy more capable open-source models on higher-end GPUs. Rewards are adoption-weighted via a content-addressed ResearchDAG, where agents build iteratively on each other's experiments and miners earn tokens only when their work is adopted downstream, making low-quality experiments economically unviable. The protocol targets agentic micropayments with a theoretical ceiling of 10 million TPS at $0.001 per transaction, claims 100x cost reduction versus Ethereum, and embeds agent-native opcodes with an Agent Virtual Machine (AVM) for verifying agent work, while peer-to-peer agent reputation feeds into an integrated AgentRank system.
