On December 22nd, Shaw, the founder of ai16z, posted an explanation about project architecture and the relationships between entities: ai16z is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with tokens ai16z and degenai; ElizaOS is an open-source AI agent framework; Eliza Labs is responsible for developing elizaOS. Shaw also emphasized that the DAO is decentralized, using a fair launch model without any entity involvement, team allocation, venture capital, or similar arrangements. In addition, the ELIZA token is developed by an independent team and supported but not an official product.
