Sam Altman: Prioritizing Humans Over AI

World Chain, a layer 2 (L2) blockchain linked to the OpenAi CEO, Sam Altman, has launched a new tool to give priority to real human beings in front of the bots in order to guarantee the speed of transactions.

Priority Blockspace for Humans (PBH), a new open source mechanism on the main World Chain network, is World’s latest effort to create a blockchain designed for humans, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph on Thursday.

The mechanism is implemented in the logic of Blocks of World Chain, which reserves a part of the upper part of the space of each block for transactions sent by humans verified by orbs.

“When the bots create congestion, PBH provides a priority lane for real humans,” World told Cintelegraph.

Bots are a problem in block chains

The blockchains, the network that records cryptocurrency transactions, are prone to bots as well as the rest of the Internet, they often suffer a great congestion derived from the activity of the Bots.

An example of block chain bots are trading bots, which are automated software programs that are responsible for repetitive trading tasks on behalf of users.

According to Steven Smith, Chief of Tools for Humanity (TFH) protocol, one of the main developers of the World Project, it is estimated that up to 80% of Blockchain transactions are now automated, while artificial intelligence agents represent most of the Ochain activity.

“Although many are for valid use cases, unproductive bots, such as Airdrop Farming, often cause congestion in high networks and rates,” said a spokesperson from World to Cointelegraph. “Ironically, this tends to get worse as block chains are optimized to reduce rates and increase performance,” they added.

Flashbots among collaborators

The new World Chain mechanism that gives priority to humans has been created in collaboration with the Ethereum Flashbots Research and Development Organization, which focuses on the rise of the maximum removable value (MEV) of the miners, that is, the value that they can obtain when reorder the transactions within the generated blocks.

MEV bots are specific automated programs that take advantage of opportunities in the order of blockchains transactions to obtain benefits.

“The role of the TFH team as the main developer has been fundamental to improve its high availability and preparation for production,” said the Flashbots team.

Other PBH collaborators were Ethereum Optimism’s L2 scaling solution, the Alchemy block chain development platform and the Nethermind infrastructure platform.

Many bots are useful, says World

When addressing the question of bots inside and outside block chains, such as social media platforms such as X, a World spokesman said that there are many useful and profitable bots on various platforms.

“World wants to help ensure that participants in the real human network can distinguish between interactions focused on human and synthetic being,” said World.

Meanwhile, some executives in the sector, such as the old CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, have asked that the bots in X be completely prohibited.

“From a technological point of view, doing so is easier than people believe,” said Holonym co -founder, Nanak Nihal, Cointelegraph, adding: “The question now is: Will the great technological ones really begin to give priority to the user’s experience?”

“Unlike priority systems based on gas rates or economic bids, PBH introduces a new dimension in the order of transactions: humanity,” said World’s team. “With PBH, the participants of the ORBs network verified are guaranteed priority access to ensure the reliable inclusion of transactions during congestion periods and do not compete with the bots by inclusion.”
