SoQuest is a Web3 Quest platform that helps project teams build Web3 communities and aggregate various project activities and information.

Foreword

COVID-19 has gone far away from us, and the advent of the AI era has brought about a wave of trends. The Web3 industry has also experienced a period of depression due to regulatory pressure and the bursting of the bubble. However, it seems to be proving its indispensability in the world's clouds. In any case, Web3 is the technology of the future. It has not yet been maturely applied, but large-scale applications are already imminent.

The question is, who will be the producer of on-chain transactions in the future scenario? And who will retain the final say? In fact, there has always been a view that the birth of blockchain paves the way for the interconnection of all things, and the development of the Internet has a decentralized impulse. Whether it is billions of users or devices and programs at a higher level, blockchain seems to be the object of need. Humans will no longer believe and like those gray box operations, and constant inflation will push people towards Bitcoin and blockchain. Billions of devices are about to become like wild horses, needing to be harnessed as soon as possible while they still lack free will.

Getting the support of future technology is the key to success for both businesses and individuals in the future. This will also determine what kind of life humans will lead in the future, whether it is the communism depicted by Worldcoin, which is distributed through iris recognition, or the Matthew effect of the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker.

No matter where history is headed, there is no doubt that everyone is better off connecting with AI and blockchain, letting them work for you. You need to save time to do truly meaningful things, rather than living like a machine.

AI and the Web3 Era

The development of AI is increasingly moving towards a black box, and people do not know how ChatGPT can provide a correct answer when dealing with a problem, just like we do not know how we think. But it does provide usable answers, all of which come from neural networks and their training, which is a chaotic system. AI represents an improvement in intellectual productivity and brings about rapid efficiency gains.

On the contrary, blockchain is a system that runs very slowly, but it can achieve overall "speed". Therefore, they are like reins to horses, traffic rules to cars. Humans need blockchain to ensure their right to make final decisions, and this right is protected by a powerful army of computing power, guaranteed by the strongest PoW computing power.

AI+Web3 is beyond doubt, but currently it is still at the stage of how to connect with the existing data gateways of enterprises and individuals, and it lacks the final step to truly integrate into industrial scenarios. In this process, gradual universalization and personalization are necessary to make users feel the real value. Otherwise, it will be almost meaningless if the AI cannot achieve what you want, or you cannot accurately tell it what you need that AI can do.

Web3 has already accumulated a considerable amount of data, especially in terms of on-chain information. Although it is public, it still requires programming to organize it for effective use. The current challenge is how to integrate Web3 data and connect on-chain operations to make the Web3 AI assistant possible. This will enable users to access the assistant easily and receive comfortable and efficient services.

Quest's Deepwater Area

As the exploration of SoQuest deepens, many are still lingering in the shallow waters of following Twitter and joining Telegram. The project claims to want a generalized flow of traffic, but what they really need is direct on-chain conversion. It's not that they don't want deep on-chain conversion, it's just that there doesn't seem to be a good solution yet. Users still have to read the project team's or KOL's tutorial essays, or follow videos to complete this final step.

We have predicted that from 2022 to the first half of 2023, Quest is still in the stage of accumulating user behavior data, but there has been a gradual turning point recently, and Quest's exploration is about to enter deep waters. That will be the paradise of on-chain players and the direction to the deep blue sea of combining with AI. We envision that in Quest, projects can directly convert users to the chain on the spot, and users only need to click a button - run immediately.

The on-chain conversion desired by the project party often involves more than one step. However, if there is a complete workflow that aggregates several operations that users need to perform, and these operations are automatically executed, it can complete a whole batch of on-chain operations in a very short time. This is the fastest way for individuals to connect to the blockchain and is also what the project party is happy to see.

The relationship between users and project parties, ecological development, and on-chain interaction in the current blockchain are intertwined. There is a reality that we cannot ignore, which is that a considerable number of on-chain interaction users, in addition to their own needs, are also part of the population who are ridiculed as "on-chain interaction masters". People constantly use the new chain's functions in order to have the opportunity to receive airdrops. We have seen such a "get-rich-quick" effect on Uniswap, Optimism, and Arbitrum. Therefore, it is expected that future platforms such as zkSync, LayerZero, and StarkNet will also continue this effect. On-chain interaction is the ultimate quest, and the rewards are very generous, but the requirements are not very clear and rely entirely on free play. However, once revealed, it can ignite the market.

What we find difficult to accept is that others have the superpower of getting rich overnight, while you need to spend huge efforts and time costs to get meager rewards. There is a gap between automation and manual labor. The development of AI and blockchain technology should bring more inclusive value, and everyone should have the opportunity to use these two new technologies to explore and mine on the chain.

BQL's Birth

In order to comply with the development laws of AI and Web3, to reduce barriers, improve efficiency, and liberate manpower, a language called BQL (Blockchain Quest Language) was conceived during the brainstorming within SoQuest. As the name suggests, BQL is an on-chain interaction language that allows you to interact with the chain by writing "scripts" that are very close to natural language, and these scripts can be automatically executed and transactions can be sent to the chain.

This language should have some characteristics:

· Has a specific syntax structure.

· Keep it as simple as possible, easy to read and write.· Can achieve complex process operations.· Accessible variables defined in the program· Enables interaction with user wallets.· Able to trace the execution of programs.

Assuming that each individual transaction operation is an atomic interaction, a combination of several atomic interactions can form a workflow. A BQL script corresponds to a workflow, and internally, the combination of each action can be defined based on the return value of each step and the state on the chain to achieve conditional execution.

BQL Workflow Design

With the above requirements met, it is necessary to introduce process control and event triggering to ultimately achieve the exchange of data flow on and off the chain. In summary, BQL Workflow consists of four aspects that together make up its operating mode: event triggering mechanism, process control mechanism, on-chain interaction mode, and execution environment. SoQuest BQL will provide a secure isolation environment to interact with wallets, allowing users to dispel doubts about custody of private keys while enabling on-chain interaction processes with virtually any combination of actions.

Let's take a look at an example of BQL:

From the BQL script above, a Workflow is implemented that has only one step, which is to call the eC6 contract under the Port3Airdrop protocol to airdrop and distribute ETH to two addresses, 0.1 ETH and 0.05 ETH respectively.

More design details about BQL, such as syntax structure, keywords, and interaction with wallets, will not be introduced here. We will launch the editing and execution environment of BQL for interested friends to try. Moreover, everyone can fork other people's open source scripts to build their own Workflow Library.

BQL scenario example: Swap, Add Liquidity, and Staking are executed in Workflow at once

BQL, can be understood as a bridge between people and blockchain. The most important thing is that it is simple enough for users without programming knowledge to roughly understand the purpose of a script, and even get started with editing, without requiring the use of Python or JavaScript to achieve on-chain interaction. This process is even simpler than writing Dune scripts, because BQL's syntax is a nested structure that describes what action you want to perform, which is very similar to Markdown.

Secondly, BQL is a bridge between AI and blockchain. People's needs are described in natural language, which is intuitive but not rigorous. However, the specific execution of the program is very rigorous, and parameters and conditions are indispensable. If there is an intermediate form between natural language and programming language, it will be easier to bridge the gap between what users think and what they do. Through AI, people's ideas can be mapped into BQL Workflow, and the missing parameter parts can be gradually completed through auxiliary means, so that everyone can become a scientist on the chain from wanting to doing.

On-chain Rights Relationship

The relationship between humans and tools has always been that humans use tools. With the development of tools, sometimes the phenomenon of tools enslaving humans occurs. However, with the development of AI, this dilemma can actually be solved. What humans need to focus on is their own goals and ideas, as well as their mental health and happiness, rather than skills, because humans have realized that in the competition of skills, programs will eventually surpass humans. Instead of making meaningless resistance, it is better to actively give up.

Since the first day blockchain was built, the actions on the chain itself are more worthy of attention than the people behind the chain. We can even evaluate the impact of these actions without knowing who is behind the address, which is closer to the operation of the physical world. The truth will not always be revealed, as it is always covered by a veil, but it does not prevent us from judging the trend. Users who use the chain also need the privacy brought by the chain, and the identity on the chain can replace the user to exercise rights or fulfill obligations.

Programs have replaced people's operational control, but no matter what entity is performing the operation, the overall operation must comply with the contract of the blockchain. In the Web3 field, the ultimate form may be a Web3 AI assistant. This Web3 AI assistant can access all relevant information and help users convert and implement their ideas. The arrival of this day requires a long wait, but many teams are already working hard for it.

Conclusion

More importantly, this is a win-win model that benefits the ecosystem, projects, and users. The ecosystem gains prosperity, projects gain on-chain conversion, and users gain efficiency improvements. However, all of this does not hinder the on-chain rights and identity of users, who enjoy the benefits while still retaining the ultimate "say".
