Three researchers have published an article claiming that blockchain technology meets some criteria for living organisms. This technology, we recall, is at the heart of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin.
The authors of the work explained that from a computational point of view, there are similarities between the methods by which DNA drives evolution, and the nodes of the blockchain – technological progress. It is worth noting that the article does not claim that blockchains are actually alive. However, scientists believe that technology can surpass biological life in terms of evolutionary adaptability and development.
“We present a model of a simple decentralized, self-sustaining, self-organizing, self-regulating organism based on the blockchain, as an operationally closed system,” the article says.
The researchers also say that the order in biological systems is inherently computational.
As for the advantages of the blockchain organism, we are talking about the unlimited size of the chain, unlike DNA, the absence of programmed aging and death.
