What is the AWE network? The evolutionary path from STP to autonomous world engine.

In May 2025, the encryption industry witnessed a key transformation: STP Network was officially renamed AWE Network (formerly STP Network), and the native Token migration from STPT to AWE was completed at a 1:1 ratio, along with its listing on major global exchanges.

This is not just a change of name, but a complete shift in strategic focus from the tokenization of general assets to an AI-driven digital ecosystem, marking its official entry into the new journey of building "Autonomous Worlds."

##Brand Rebranding and Strategic Transformation

The STP Network was founded in 2019 and initially positioned as an open-source compliant asset tokenization protocol. It aims to ensure that the generation, issuance, and transfer of tokens comply with the regulatory requirements (such as KYC/AML) of multiple jurisdictions and the specific restrictions of the issuer through on-chain compliance validators.

Its goal is to achieve "proactive compliance" through smart contracts, transforming traditional financial processes.

However, starting in 2023, the team keenly captured the wave of the integration of AI and Web3, and began to reposition its mission. By early 2025, the community officially approved the rebranding to AWE Network, with a core narrative shifting towards building an AI-native 'autonomous world' — a digital ecosystem where AI agents interact, evolve, and operate autonomously.

This transformation will be fully implemented on May 19, 2025, with the completion of the token exchange (1 STPT = 1 AWE) by exchanges such as Gate and Binance, followed by the subsequent listing.

Technical Architecture and Core Features

The core of the AWE network is the Autonomous World Engine (AWE), which is a scalable modular framework designed to support complex AI interactions.

Its technological breakthroughs are focused on two main dimensions:

• High-performance parallel processing: Optimizing workloads using GPUs, supporting thousands of AI agents for real-time interactions, providing underlying support for large-scale multi-agent simulations.
• Decentralized AI Infrastructure: Including identity protocols such as AWNS (Autonomous World Name Service), as well as secure multiparty computation (SMPC) and privacy protection technologies integrated through collaboration with the ARPA network, ensuring data security and trustworthiness at the AI layer.

The technical team has recruited AI experts from top companies such as NVIDIA and Google, significantly enhancing its R&D capabilities.

##Core Application: Building an AI Native Ecosystem

The AWE network has launched its first application platform, World.Fun, allowing developers to create and publish multi-agent simulated worlds, focusing on AI entertainment and gaming.

Recently, two landmark achievements demonstrated its implementation capability:

• Genesis AI Town: The first parallel simulation world with 1,000 AI agents running stably in a Web3 environment, validating the engine's concurrent processing capabilities.
• AI Venture Show: A new interactive program showcasing real-time human-machine collaborative decision-making, exploring the possibilities of AI agents participating in business governance.

These cases reflect the vision of AWE - to create an economic and social simulation environment that evolves autonomously without continuous human intervention.

##Market Positioning and Token (AWE) Dynamics

According to Gate market data, as of August 7, 2025, the AWE Token is temporarily priced at $0.056, with a 24-hour increase of 7.7%. The total circulation of AWE Token is 1.94 billion coins, and the current price range is in the early development stage.

Market analysts have polarized views on its prospects:

• Advantages: Strategic alignment with the growth dividends of AI + Web3 tracks; support from top exchanges like Binance; the technology roadmap has real innovation rather than conceptual hype.
• Challenge: The engineering complexity of the "autonomous world" brings higher execution risks; it is necessary to clearly define the practical value of the AWE Token within the ecosystem (beyond the investment scenario).

Price predictions indicate that if ecological development proceeds smoothly, it may reach $0.068 - $0.36 within 2025, and in the long term (by 2030), it could potentially rise to $0.12 - $0.59.

Conclusion: The Cornerstone of a Programmable Society

The AWE network has evolved from the compliance tokenization protocol of STP into an engine focused on AI-native autonomous worlds, representing the evolution of blockchain infrastructure towards higher-level applications.

It is no longer satisfied with mapping financial assets on the blockchain, but is committed to creating a programmable social experimental field driven by AI and collaboratively participated in by humans.

The team roadmap shows that the focus will be on developing the GPU native execution layer, proxy build toolchain, and more native infrastructure in the future.

If successful, AWE may become a key incubation layer for a decentralized AI economy, redefining the boundaries of human-machine collaboration - this is precisely its most unique value proposition in the fierce technological competition of 2025.
