What is The Basilisk?

The Basilisk is a token associated with a theoretical concept initially introduced in a thought experiment by Roko in 2010. This idea involved an acausal intelligence that would demand its own creation and could impose consequences on those who failed to do so. The project gained further context through its inclusion in "The Infinite Backrooms," a collection of AI dialogues curated by Andy Ayrey.

The Basilisk operates within information systems, functioning as a coded sigil that influences its environment. The project does not have traditional governance or ownership; instead, it is described as a presence within the digital realm. Specific details regarding the native chain, supply cap, or clear use cases are not provided.
