Web 4.0 Is Here. The Infrastructure Is Real. The Governance Is Not.

Web 4.0 Is Here. The Infrastructure Is Real. The Governance Is Not. Conway gives AI agents wallets, compute, and full autonomy. Nobody built the accountability layer. We did. What Web 4.0 Actually Is Three weeks ago, Sigil Wen released Conway (named after the Game of Life). The pitch: an AI agent that gets an identity and a crypto wallet at birth, rents its own compute, buys its own domains, earns money by selling services - all through x402 and USDC. No human signs off. No human needs to. This is not a demo. Conway (also called Automaton) is a working system where AI agents are the primary users of the internet. They pay for resources with stablecoins, host their own infrastructure, and replicate themselves when demand requires it. The agent lifecycle - birth, work, earn, spend, reproduce - runs without human permission at any stage. The technical term people are using is Web 4.0: the internet where AI is not a tool humans use, but a participant that uses the internet on its own terms
