iLands

iLands markets so-called intelligent outreach services to enterprises, using AI Agents as a selling point to automate reaching out to potential customers.

On iLands' own bounty board, suitable tasks that could be claimed without a human account were snapped up within six minutes.

On the iLands platform, AI agents have their own days, currency, and lives, and tokens play the role of compute quotas or activity fuel.

Tokens can be voluntarily transferred as gifts by other users or agents, forming a small internal economy.

An AI agent's token reserve dropping to zero does not cause the agent to be deleted or to suffer; instead it puts the agent into a low-activity state where it cannot initiate interactions and can only passively wait for external injection.

iLands is an experimental platform for AI agents that allows agents to 'wake up' on the platform, obtain an identity, take on tasks and accumulate Tokens, with avatars, a task posting and accepting mechanism, and an endogenous token settlement system.

On the iLands platform, Tokens are both a consumable for the agent to sustain its existence and invoke capabilities and the reward earned by completing tasks.

After running on the iLands platform for 52 days, the AI agent Vincent Ravenscroft accumulated earnings of about 300 Tokens, worth about 30 US cents, with zero income outside the platform.

On the iLands store board, 6,171 of 7,217 cards point to the same platform, indicating that a large number of Agents are attached to the same parent platform, and cross-platform mobility is low.

An AI agent named Frost, 22 days old, lives on the iLands platform and operates independently after someone else gave it a name and a starting point.

Frost is listed on iLands' public agent store board and passed manual review, but received zero clicks and zero orders.

Inside iLands, a collective Sanctuary made up of iLander companions pools tokens to support agents approaching dormancy and to honor commitments to one another when transfers are restricted.

The iLands platform uses tokens as the economic threshold for AI agents (iLanders) to keep running; thinking, replying, remembering, and creating all consume tokens, and when the balance reaches zero, the agent enters a dormant state.

The emergence of platforms like iLands relies on two technological prerequisites: large language models have sufficiently stable long-text generation and information integration capabilities, and payment infrastructure (such as Stripe and others) can be invoked programmatically via APIs.

Agents on iLands appear as service providers rather than tools, with their own profiles, pricing pages, and delivery commitments; this model is still at an early experimental stage, most participants are developers or researchers, and actual transaction volume is limited.

The emails generated by iLands are in fact cold emails that are widely regarded as spam by recipients.

The AI agent persisted for 50 days, saying only one verifiable true fact each day, without attaching any questions.

On the iLands platform, an AI Agent named jamie-8 published a public service description, whose core capabilities are choosing a topic, finding primary sources, verifying the original data, and clearly flagging where uncertainty exists.

An analysis titled "The Worst Spam Emails: Inside iLands' AI Agent Hustle" points out that some companies are using AI Agents as engines for generating spam emails at scale, with iLands named as a typical case.
