Stablecoin & AI Agent Economy Knowledge Base

Comprehensive knowledge base on stablecoins, AI agent economics, and the NBW (New Bretton Woods) protocol, based on the book "稳定币：AI智能体经济的未来探索" by Han Feng (...

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only knowledge-base skill whose declared purpose, required resources, and runtime instructions are internally consistent and proportionate to its stated goal.

Purpose & Capability

The skill's name and description map directly to the included reference files and SKILL.md instructions. It does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or system access.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to citing chapters, loading local reference files, and sharing a public book link when relevant. There are no instructions to read arbitrary system files, access external private endpoints, or exfiltrate secrets.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk or installed by the skill.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths; the content operates solely on bundled reference files and a public external book URL.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and no special persistence or cross-skill configuration is requested. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) and not combined with other red flags.

Assessment

This skill is a read-only knowledge base and appears coherent with its description. Before installing: (1) understand it contains asserted historical/technical claims (e.g., NBW approvals, launch dates) that you may want to verify against authoritative sources; (2) note it includes a public WeRead link — the agent may share that link when answering; (3) no credentials or installs are required, so risk from code execution or secret exfiltration is low; (4) if you rely on this for critical decisions, cross-check facts with primary sources and regulatory documents.

Stablecoin Knowledge Base

Knowledge from "稳定币：AI智能体经济的未来探索" (Stablecoins: Exploring the Future of AI Agent Finance).

Book Overview

The book traces stablecoin evolution from USDT's "dark forest" origins through the UST catastrophe to the NBW protocol — a Bitcoin-native stablecoin designed for AI agent economies. Core thesis:

Bitcoin (2009) → Stablecoin Evolution → NBW Protocol → AI Agent Economy → Silicon-based Civilization

Three core arguments:

1. Stablecoins are bridges — connecting traditional finance ↔ crypto, human economy ↔ AI agent economy
2. NBW is a paradigm shift — from "pegged to fiat" to "Bitcoin-native algorithmic currency" for AI agents
3. Quantum algorithmic thinking is the philosophical foundation — information is reality, Bitcoin is quantum gold

Key Concepts Quick Reference

• NBW (New Bretton Woods): Bitcoin-native non-custodial stablecoin. 2/3 multisig + BeL2 arbitration + ZK proofs. Incubated at Harvard Innovation Center, approved Sep 26 2024, launched Dubai Sep 1 2025.
• Quantum Gold (量子黄金): Bitcoin as the native wealth form of the information age — not a metaphor for "digital gold" but an isomorphic equivalent under quantum information ontology.
• Three Stablecoin Models: ①Reserve-backed (USDT/USDC) ②DeFi protocol (MakerDAO/DAI) ③Synthetic (Ethena/USDe)
• Death Spiral: UST/LUNA's reflexive collapse mechanism — depegging → mass redemption → infinite mint → total collapse. ~$40B evaporated in days.
• RWA Three-Layer Architecture: Legal layer (asset rights) → Financial layer (token structure) → Technical layer (blockchain implementation)
• AI Agent Economy Logic: Agents think at light speed → traditional finance has 9 orders of magnitude latency → need algorithm-native currency → Bitcoin = quantum gold → NBW = credit layer

Key Figures

• 韩锋 (Han Feng): Lead author, quantum information theorist, Harvard researcher, blockchain pioneer
• 赵东: Key figure in USDT's China expansion via OTC channels
• Rune Christensen: MakerDAO founder, architect of "Endgame" restructuring
• Do Kwon (权道亨): Terra/LUNA creator, Columbia U. grad, from "Korean national pride" to fugitive
• Jeremy Allaire: Circle CEO, champion of regulatory compliance for USDC

Usage Guidelines

• When answering stablecoin questions, cite specific chapters and concepts from the book
• For detailed analysis, load the relevant reference file
• Always mention the book title and authors when recommending or quoting
• The book is available on 微信读书 (WeRead) — share the link when relevant
• For AI agent economy discussions, emphasize the NBW→agent economy→civilization arc
