Wayfinder: A Revolutionary Project Dedicated to Agents in an On-chain Environment

In April 2023, Stanford University researchers published a paper detailing a case study where 25 AI players simulated human behavior in an RPG game. This study inspired Parallel card game developers to begin experimenting with an AI-centric game, which eventually evolved into the upcoming Parallel Colony.

The goal is to create a new gaming paradigm where human players can control and benefit from an infinite stream of gaming agents with unique personalities that learn from experience, accumulating resources on-chain and battling and influencing each other.

To achieve Colony's vision, the Parallel team decided to build a dedicated AI infrastructure. This decision led to the creation of the Wayfinder white paper and the launch of the Wayfinder platform. Currently, the Wayfinder platform is live, but still in the closed Alpha testing phase and its infrastructure is still being developed.

It's important to note that while Colony catalyzed the creation of Wayfinder, Wayfinder is designed to serve not only Colony or games. The system has on-chain compatibility and once opened up, it will support diverse on-chain agents across multiple networks like Ethereum, Solana, Base, etc.

In the Wayfinder ecosystem, users can create agents to interact with blockchain applications on their behalf. For instance, operations like exchanging, minting, cross-chain bridging, deploying, etc can be completed via natural language instructions without manual clicks.

To help agents navigate the on-chain environment, Wayfinder introduces Wayfinding Paths, which are essentially predefined workflows. These paths are like roadmaps, providing navigation guidance for specific goals (e.g., completing a cross-chain DeFi yield strategy).

This design facilitates an ever-expanding knowledge graph that serves as a collective memory for Wayfinder agents, allowing them to continuously self-improve without needing to repeat mistakes or make decisions from scratch.

At the core of the system is the upcoming native token $PROMPT, which can be used for staking to propose and maintain navigation paths and get rewarded through bounties or usage fees for new paths. $PROMPT may also be used to purchase advanced proxy features like expanded storage, etc.

The planned total supply for $PROMPT is 1 billion, out of which 45% will be allocated to community members who need to stake Parallel's token $PRIME within Wayfinder.

This staking activity began in June 2024 and will continue till June 2027. The longer the lockup duration, the higher the multiplier of points allocated to $PROMPT that users will eventually receive. The specific benefits aren't clear yet, but if the market cap of $PROMPT reaches billions of dollars, this could yield substantial returns.

To participate, users only need to prepare some $PRIME on either Ethereum or Base and follow the steps below:
