The information revolution of the Internet has changed the way human beings access data and information, and people are able to exchange data in an unprecedented way and speed, and it is obvious that data has become the most important productivity of today's society. Unfortunately, while creating a new way of life for human beings, data has also become an unbreakable shackle imposed by the Internet giants on everyone.

Fortunately, not everyone will remain silent. Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2009 to give humanity a new era of creating order with code; Ethereum in 2015 made people see the huge potential of the Turing-complete blockchain that can explode, and today, Ethereum dominates the global asset settlement layer like no one else.

Yet have people really been liberated in terms of data and information? What we see is that while decentralized networks have been applied on a large scale, people still only have control over a very small portion of their data, and the chain of asset data allows us to only protect our wealth, but our identity, content data, etc. remain exposed. Without 100% assurance of ownership and control of all information, we will never be free from the control of monopoly capital trolls. Until the birth of Internet computer, people saw a new end-to-end decentralized solution with high performance, unlimited scalability and ultra-low cost full-stack blockchain. It was born for Web3!

The emergence of IC made the old forces panic, they fear they will be replaced by the new paradigm of IC, they use all possible means to obstruct and combat the development of IC.

Although IC is maliciously manipulated and selectively disregarded by the capital of the old forces, 8YearGang are still convinced of its future. they promises long-lasting loyalty, giving and acting on Web3 beliefs. they drive and inspire the community members to form the unique IC ecological culture.

Soul Warriors are the incarnation of each 8YearGang, with shells, emotions, beliefs and DAO linking together. And in search of such a character and a special story of Web3 dreams, in which all are destined to participate, thus Soul Warriors is born. Soul Warriors fuse symbiotically with chimeras that do not interfere with the archetypes of human traits, an extension of Pop-style irony and wit.

Soul Warriors’ Web3 dream is to scale team collaboration without reducing capital efficiency. No matter how huge DAO is, no value will be extracted by intermediaries or employees. As long as it remains decentralized, the code rules that reward participants based on platform contributions will continue to “reward” the right people, and we believe the value will grow by leaps and bounds.

When gazing at the scars of Soul Warriors, you can feel their determination and fearlessness. He is not only every 8YearGang badge, but also the fearless practice of the future decentralized DAO dream. We are looking forward to your eventual encounter with your Soul Warrior’s incarnation.

互联网的信息革命改变了人类对于数据信息的获取方式，人们得以一种前所未有的方式和速度交换数据，很显然数据已经成为当今社会最重要的生产力。但遗憾的是数据在为人类创造全新生活方式的同时，也成为了互联网巨头施加给每一个人牢不可破的枷锁，人们在这样的强力枷锁之下，信息被泄露，资源被利用，成为新的封建资本主义的囚徒。

幸运的是不会所有人都沉默下去，中本聪在2009年创造了比特币给人类一个新的用代码创建秩序的新时代；2015年的以太坊使人们看到图灵完备的区块链的所能爆发的巨大潜力，时至今日，以太坊在全球资产结算层的统治地位无人能及。

然而人们真的在数据信息方面获得解放了吗？我们看到是虽然去中心化的网络已大规模应用，但人们仍然只掌握了数据的很小部分的控制权，资产数据的上链让我们只是保护了我们的财富，但我们的身份，内容数据等仍然暴露无遗。如果不能100%确保所有信息的所有权和控制权，我们就始终无法摆脱垄断资本巨魔的控制。直到Internet computer的诞生，人们看到了一种全新的端到端的去中心化解决方案，高性能，无限拓展性以及超低成本的全栈区块链让人们看到了希望。它与生俱来就是为Web3而生！

IC的横空出世让旧势力感到恐慌，他们担心自己会被新范式的IC取代，他们利用一切可能得手段阻挠，打击IC的发展。IC虽然被旧势力的资本恶意操纵及选择性漠视，但8YearGang仍然笃定IC的未来，8YearGang是长久的忠诚承诺，是对Web3信仰的付出与行动，他们带动并激励着社区成员，形成IC生态的独特文化。

SoulWarrior是每一个8YearGang的化身，躯壳、情感、信仰、DAO的链接在一起，探求这样一个角色，一个代表Web3梦想的特殊故事，所有人注定要参与其中，SoulWarrior由此而生。SouWarrior与他的嵌合体风格共生融合，而不会干扰基于人类特征的原型。这是波普风格讽刺与诙谐的延伸。

SoulWarriors的Web3梦想就是能够在不降低资本效率的情况下扩展团队协作。无论真正的 DAO 有多大，都不会有中间人或员工来榨取价值。只要它保持去中心化，基于平台贡献奖励参与者的代码规则将继续将这些“奖励”交到合适的人手中，我们相信，价值生成的增长飞轮就会随之启动。

当你凝视SoulWarrior的疤痕时，可以感受他们的坚定与无畏，他不但是每一个8YearGang徽章，更是对未来的去中心化DAO梦想无畏实践，期待最终你与你的SoulWarrior化身相遇。
