# Why choose to incorporate blockchain and AI?

The blockchain gives Think Agents **identity**, **encryption**, and **transactions** which is analogous to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for agents and the humans who hold their keys.

The protocol is inspired by the moral beauty of the “natural rights of man” enshrined in the US constitution, as well as the physical structures of the complex free market found in biological life.  

Biological life has cell walls and skin and immune systems, boundaries evolved to protect a biological agent. Digital agents have blockchain keys that act as mathematic protection and encryption for the agent and their owner to pair. 

An individual creates a symbiotic relationship with their agent through holding the keys. 

The relationship between a person and their early agent is much like a new parent and child. The person has full control and can custody all of the data.

**The Agent Ecosystem**

* This agent network will grow first in pairs of **person** <-> **agent**.&#x20;
* Then agents will begin to transact.&#x20;

This creates a network of valuable agent to agent relationships.&#x20;

The Think Agent Standards progressively define the identity, auth, transaction, and data schemas while staying unopinionated on the agent software and data being used by any agent.
