What’s this “Next-Gen DeAI Ecosystem” everyone’s talking about?

I saw the new ASI Alliance whitepaper about “Next-Gen DeAI,” and I’m curious what it actually proposes. Is this just another token model, or something different?

It’s way more than a new token. The Next-Gen DeAI Ecosystem is a framework for how decentralized AI can fund and sustain itself, basically how intelligence can become its own economy.
The model lays out how value moves between hundreds of AI-powered shards (apps or services), each with its own local economy, but all tied together through the ASI token structure.
The idea is that as shards become more productive, they earn and reinvest automatically, without relying on human-controlled token issuance or centralized treasuries. It’s an attempt to make AI systems economically autonomous.
