Inspired by the popular Netflix series Black Mirror, a new type of token about to launch is garnering significant attention by combining artificial intelligence (AI), social credit, and crypto rewards. With official licensing from the brand owner, this is not just a mere entertainment token but also a comprehensive social interaction game, where users must 'live up to standards' in Web3 to be rewarded.
Will AI monitor you to reward you – or label you a scammer?
The Black Mirror Token is built on the #KORProtocol platform, backed by giants like Animoca Brands, Niantic Labs, and Avalanche. The project features a virtual assistant named Iris – a central character responsible for monitoring user behavior:
'Iris doesn’t care who you are. She only cares about what you are willing to do to achieve your fateful '5 stars.'
Iris will monitor users' on-chain activity and social media to calculate reputation scores, thereby determining who receives airdrops, whitelists, premium feature access, and even influences the storyline within the Smile Club ecosystem.
How it works: Identity NFT + comprehensive tracking = Web3 social score
Participants will register a Social ID Card – #NFT serving as a Web3 identification card. This card retains a reputation score, recording behavior through positive badges or 'stains' when violations occur.
Factors affecting the score include:
Hold or liquidate tokens
Collecting or flipping NFTs
Interacting with other projects
Post content, follower count, interactions, and feedback quality on social media
The ecosystem is rapidly expanding
According to the project, over 13,000 users have received Social IDs, and upcoming features include:
AI coaching (#AI behavioral training)
Dynamic quests
Social betting and on-chain
Tamagotchi-style mini-game
Currently, users only need to connect their Ethereum or Solana wallet, link it to their X (Twitter) account to participate. The blockchain for the token release has yet to be announced.
Viewpoint from the crypto world: The future of on-chain social credit?
This event may herald a trend of 'Web3 socialization' – where reputation and personal behavior become valuable assets, rather than just transaction history. With AI technology and on-chain data, the Black Mirror token is realizing a vision previously described in episodes like Nosedive – where every behavior is rated.
However, this also serves as a warning about the level of AI and data intervention in personal lives, even in a decentralized world. When social credit is no longer a fictional concept but a standard for receiving airdrops, the crypto community will face a significant question: 'What are we willing to trade for rewards?'
Risk warning: The cryptocurrency market poses many risks and is not suitable for all investors. Participating in behavioral tracking models or AI rating systems may affect privacy and personal freedom. Be cautious, and thoroughly research before engaging in any project.
