#龙虾 New York — On March 13 local time, the Global Energy Security and Digital Economy Leaders Summit was held in New York, attended by heads of state, government leaders, energy ministers, and officials from international financial institutions from multiple countries. Discussions focused on AI computing power energy consumption, cross-border energy trading costs, and global green electricity coordination.

The conference focused on the global surge in computing power electricity consumption brought about by the rapid proliferation of the current AI intelligent agent OpenClaw (known as "Lobster" by the community). The attending parties agreed that OpenClaw consumes enormous computing power, and cross-border electricity and computing power settlement involves multiple steps, high fees, and slow fund transfers. An efficient, low-cost global unified settlement system is urgently needed.

Regarding the "Lobster Coin" issue that has attracted significant market attention, delegates held specialized discussions. The proposed solution uses Lobster Coin as an intermediary medium for cross-border computing power and energy settlement, for use in electricity procurement, computing power leasing, green electricity trading, and cross-border energy fee settlement. This would reduce foreign exchange conversion costs, shorten settlement cycles, and solve payment pain points in the AI industry and global energy trade.

The attending parties reached a principled consensus supporting the promotion of compliant implementation of Lobster Coin in energy and computing power scenarios. A clearing framework will be jointly established by energy enterprises and financial institutions from multiple countries, clarifying regulatory standards, anti-money laundering and compliance mechanisms, with priority use in green electricity, computing power, and AI energy consumption-related transactions. It will not be directed toward speculative trading by ordinary individuals.

The organizers stated that this conference provides a new path for energy and financial coordination in the AI era. Subsequently, a special working group will be established to advance technical docking, regulatory coordination and pilot implementation, constructing a new global energy trading system that is low-cost, efficient, safe and stable.
