Living Fly Brain Runs Inside Smart Contract as OBrain Price Experiment

OBrain Price (OBRAIN) has taken an unusual approach in the world of cryptocurrencies. The project involves a living fly brain, sealed in a contract, which runs as an integer spiking network inside a smart contract on Arc mainnet.

The organism, complete with 169,088 neurons lifted from the BANC v888 brain-and-nerve-cord connectome (Bates et al., Nature 656, 957-970, 2026), is described as not being a rendering of a brain or a model of a brain, but rather the connectome itself.

The project has been uploaded to Coinbase and can be watched live on Arc mainnet. The organism's sole rule for staying alive is that it 'eats' a token.
