1. The Awakening of Machine Civilization: A Paradigm Shift from Human Economy to Machine Economy

At the intersection of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things, the global device connections have surpassed 50 billion. From robotic arms in factory workshops to smart streetlights in cities, from soil sensors in farmland to satellite terminals in space orbits, these "digital natives" are evolving autonomous decision-making capabilities at an exponential rate. When a single device generates over 2000 interaction data points daily, the three fundamental logics of traditional economic systems begin to collapse:

1. Spatiotemporal Dislocation of Settlement Efficiency

Industrial IoT requires device collaboration to be completed within milliseconds—autonomous vehicles need to exchange traffic data and settle tolls within 0.1 seconds, and smart grids must adjust distributed energy transaction prices in real time. Traditional blockchain networks, limited by block times, face a sharp contradiction between transaction confirmation delays and the "real-time" needs of the machine economy.

2. Disruptive Challenges to Cost Structures

Each smart sensor generates 300-500 micro-payments daily (such as environmental data reporting and service call payments). At an average fee of $0.001 per transaction on existing payment networks, the annual cost per device reaches $109.5. For smart city projects deploying millions of devices, transaction fees alone could consume 30% of operational budgets. Even more severe is the "long tail effect" of micro-payments, leading to "losses on small transactions"—when a single transaction's value is less than the fee, the transaction cannot be initiated at all.

3. Fundamental Contradictions in Trust Mechanisms

The machine economy demands "decentralized autonomous" operations: autonomous vehicles cannot rely on third-party payment platforms to determine collision liability, industrial robots cannot wait for bank systems to confirm cooperation rewards, and environmental sensors cannot submit data for verification to centralized institutions. The traditional account model of "centralized custody" fundamentally conflicts with the "autonomous" requirements of the machine economy.

These seemingly technical issues actually point to a fundamental transformation of the economic paradigm: as economic entities expand from "humans" to "machines," the original settlement rules, cost structures, and trust mechanisms all need to be reconstructed. The uniqueness of the UTXO model precisely provides the underlying technical support for this transformation.
