It’s taking a bit longer than we originally expected to release our next-generation AFS-powered DID/VC, agentic blockchain, and new Blocklet architecture.
The good news: we’re actually in great shape.
We originally planned for May 😂, but June is looking much more realistic — and worth the wait.
Building foundational infrastructure is never as easy as a demo. We’d rather get it right than rush it out.
June. 🚀

One realization we’ve had over the years is that decentralization is not just about ownership, governance, or token distribution.
It is also about who has the ability to build.
Blocklet 1.0 was built primarily for software developers. It made decentralized application development significantly easier by packaging infrastructure, deployment, identity, and services into reusable building blocks.
But it still assumed that you were a developer.
With AI, that assumption is changing.
Blocklet 2.0 is our effort to make application creation accessible to everyone.
AI-powered from the ground up, with built-in:
- AI agents
- Blockchain capabilities
- DID identity
- Payments
- Storage
- Automation
- Deployment
- Governance primitives
The goal is not to replace developers.
The goal is to dramatically expand the number of people who can become capable creators.
However, we also believe that simple vibe coding is not enough.
Anyone can generate code today. The challenge is building systems that remain:
- maintainable
- composable
- secure
- observable
- governable
- scalable
This is why much of our recent work around AFS, AI-native engineering, and Blocklet evolution has focused on creating the right framework, not just generating more code.
Blocklet 1.0 helped developers build faster.
Blocklet 2.0 aims to help everyone build meaningful applications with AI, while preserving the structure and quality required for a healthy ecosystem.
We believe this may become one of the most important forms of decentralization in the AI era:
Not just decentralizing ownership.
Decentralizing the ability to create.
May 28
One important point in the decentralization discussion is often misunderstood:
A healthy ecosystem does not emerge simply because governance is decentralized.
It emerges when more people can independently create real value on top of the protocol.
Historically, this was extremely difficult.
Building meaningful applications required:
- strong engineering skills
- deep protocol understanding
- infrastructure knowledge
- deployment and operational expertise
As a result, most ecosystems remained heavily dependent on a small core developer group.
AI changes this equation.
For the first time, it becomes possible for almost anyone to become a capable builder with the assistance of AI agents.
But there is also a major risk:
Simple “vibe coding” alone will not create a sustainable ecosystem.
Without proper structure, protocols, identity, memory, security, observability, and execution boundaries, the result quickly becomes:
- low-quality AI slop
- insecure applications
- fragmented experiences
- unmaintainable systems
- incentive gaming instead of real products
This is exactly the problem we have been trying to solve with AFS and our broader AI-native engineering efforts.
The goal is not merely to generate code.
The goal is to create an AI-native development framework where:
- anyone can build with AI assistance
- blockchain, DID, payments, and agents become naturally usable primitives
- applications remain composable and maintainable
- systems stay observable and governable
- security and execution boundaries remain enforceable
- builders can focus on intent and product value instead of infrastructure complexity
In other words:
The future is not “everyone becomes a programmer.”
The future is:
- everyone can become a creator,
- while the underlying framework preserves structure, quality, and ecosystem coherence.
We believe this may ultimately become one of the most important forms of decentralization:
not just decentralized ownership,
but decentralized capability creation.

The CLARITY Act may define the boundaries.
But real decentralization will not be created by law alone.
It will be shaped by technical best practices, governance models, and community consensus.
And in the AI era, decentralization may no longer be about “more voting” or “more DAO forums.”
It may be about programmable coordination between humans, agents, apps, and systems — transparent, auditable, adaptive, and still human-overridable.
That is where ArcBlock becomes very interesting.
ArcBlock has been building around this exact direction for years:
DID identity
Blocklet app network
AIGNE / AI Agents
trusted on-chain coordination
user-owned identity and data
composable decentralized app infrastructure
Most of the market is still watching short-term volume and price action.
But if the CLARITY Act becomes law, the valuation logic for crypto could change.
The next cycle may not reward projects that simply claim to be decentralized.
It may reward projects that can prove it, operationalize it, and build real infrastructure around it.
And the truth is: many crypto projects may struggle to meet a serious “sufficient decentralization” standard.
ArcBlock may be one of the few projects already asking the right question:
In the AI era, who connects humans, agents, applications, identity, and verifiable trust?
If ArcBlock follows through with a clearer decentralization roadmap, stronger governance, deeper ecosystem expansion, and real AI-agent adoption, $ABT may no longer be viewed as just another AI narrative token.
It could be repriced as infrastructure for the agentic web.
Quiet market.
Low attention.
Low liquidity.
Big regulatory shift approaching.
AI agents becoming inevitable.
This is exactly where asymmetric opportunities are born.

@DeBOS_OS launcher is live.
Users can launch from our self hosted store and get a 14 day free trial before deciding to purchase.
The instance that is launched is will live on our self-hosted blocklet server.
Another step in our journey towards sovereignty.

Okay, #Arcblock I am doing this, trying something out, did a simple prompt with perplexity made it make a comprehensive prompt, and I will have a go at it as soon as the memory system is made as a tool and fully finished up. 🚧🏗️🤖📦🚧
Because what I showed was just a demo of what I am working on, I want to create a comprehensive dataset so when I do release it as a blocklet, it already knows the Arcblock platform! 🤯
Nabu, is like a game character you level up by creating new tools with either English prompt engineering or programming. 🚧📦🔨👷🚧

Nabu and I, are getting the benchmark ready to benchmark with real data from sessions with Hermes Agents. 🤖💭

As promised, Blocklet Server is now fully open source! (Apache License)
Our developer community is free to build, hack, and improve it as they wish.
This doesn’t mean we’re abandoning it — we’ll continue providing bug fixes and security updates to keep it stable and safe.
However, new features and major improvements will be focused on our next stage: ARC (Agentic Realm Computer).
We strongly encourage the community to move forward with us.

In the new ARC(Agentic Realm Computer), blockchain and the ledger are built in as a foundational protocol layer — unlike Blocklet Server, where blockchain lived at the application layer.
We introduced this new CBOR-based transaction encoding to make interactions more lightweight, secure, and standards-based.
The transaction protocol itself is unchanged — only the lower-level encoding has been updated.

Banger! Open sourcing blocklet server is huge step. Will give devs a deeper understanding of workflow. @ArcBlock_io continues to develop the future of app hosting technology.
Apr 12
ARC will supersede Blocklet Server.
As the next step, we’ll open-source a fully documented and cleaned-up version of Blocklet Server — so developers can continue to use it if they choose.
Going forward, all new development will move to ARC, while the Blocklet architecture remains.
ARC Blocklets → ArcBlock.

Just built the passport UI for @DeBOS_OS. Before now we used the blocklet dashboard to handle this, but the process was not sticky enough. Now users can create and maintain passports with native UI, never needing to leave the app. @ArcBlock_io is programmable identity.
