Foresight News posted on X (formerly Twitter). Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire described a project called Fly Brain that runs on Arc, saying it compiles the neural information and computational rules of a fruit fly brain into 16 MB of bytecode. Developers used AI to build an interactive layer, and the brain-inspired agents can evolve and interact on the network. Allaire said he did not know the team’s background or the project’s token incentives and was unsure of its purpose. The project says it could support scientific research, though Allaire said it might also be a gimmick.

Allaire discussed the project during a conversation with Chris Dixon and Robert Hackett about applications being developed on Arc. Dixon said the digital economy could be reshaped over the next 10 to 20 years as high-performance blockchains emerge. He described a progression from adapting existing activities, such as trading and human payments, to developing applications that make use of new technology in different ways.

Allaire said that combining a new blockchain operating system, full-reserve digital dollar infrastructure and AI could enable new credit tools for people and machines. He said future credit markets might resemble advertising auctions rather than the traditional sale of packaged bonds, changing market structures, unit economics, distribution and reach. He added that tokenized real-world assets have expanded access to equity investment and created more ways to use assets, with early signs of these changes already visible.

Allaire also said another project planned for Arc would provide dispute resolution for AI work. Its process would range from AI juries and arbitrators to human arbitrators, supported by a staking security model. He said the system is intended for situations in which AI agents or people hire AI to perform tasks, and disputes require arbitration as well as rules for escrow and payment release. Dixon said blockchain could, in some respects, counterbalance AI’s centralizing tendencies.
