Binance alpha launched and airdropped $prompt, OKEx previously launched a $prompt recharge prize pool, and well-known exchanges like CoinBase listed $prompt... What allows Wayfinder ($prompt) to thrive across major platforms right after its launch?
➤ The internet emerged in the 1960s. After approximately 60 years of the Kondratieff cycle, AI appeared, which may become the starting point of a new economic cycle. The earliest internet applications included Email, forums, and image-text websites, while the earliest blockchain applications included the content public chain Steem (2016), and the earliest AI applications included large language models (LLMs) driven GPT, Deepseek, etc. This is not a coincidence; just as a newborn begins its life by babbling, language-based applications are often one of the important beginnings. However, whether in an industry or a new life, it should not be limited to language-based applications. AI, as a baby that has just learned to express, needs further growth. Wayfinder is such a project, utilizing blockchain technology and ecology to allow AI to grow rapidly while providing new services for Web3 ecosystem users. ➤ Wayfinder plays a role in the Web3 field.
❚ Establishing Web3 ecological connections between AI and humans
According to the project white paper, Wayfinder is an intelligent product ecosystem centered around AI Agent and primarily applied in a blockchain environment.
Wayfinder's ecological AI Agent is called AI Shell, responsible for interacting with multiple AI models, effectively establishing connections between AI and AI, as well as AI and humans.
On the one hand, Wayfinder provides AI with more information through Web3 users and blockchain information.
On the other hand, Wayfinder mobilizes AI's computational abilities and enables them to collaborate, providing Web3 users with more functional intelligent products and convenient experiences.
❚ Let AI be both brain and physical laborers
In the Wayfinder intelligent product ecosystem, AI Shell not only serves as a brain for analytical thinking but also acts as a laborer to help users execute a series of operations.
This series of operations is the key to the Wayfinder ecosystem—navigation paths.
Wayfinder's AI Shell works according to user requests, following the corresponding navigation paths.
For example, if User A wants to mint the genesis NFT of a project, AI Shell will operate according to the corresponding navigation path, which may include steps like connecting wallets, switching networks, transferring fees, timing, and repeated minting.
Of course, during this process, the brainwork of AI also plays a role, as the AI algorithm analyzes factors such as efficiency and safety during execution.
❚ Features of the Wayfinder intelligent product system
Features of the Wayfinder intelligent product system include but are not limited to the following:
First, Wayfinder comprehensively utilizes multiple AI models to analyze users off-chain, providing efficient intelligent services for Web3 users.
Second, Wayfinder acts like a natural person, helping users execute on-chain interactions and achieve various cross-chain interoperability.
Third, Wayfinder's product system includes but is not limited to cross-chain, cryptocurrency trading, game resource management, and information and analysis services.
Fourth, by integrating multiple AI models, Wayfinder can provide graphical interface tools, allowing non-developers to create AI Shells in a no-code format and further use various functions of intelligent products.
Fifth, the white paper mentions Wayfinder's memory function, which can prevent the negative impact of "data forgetting" by AI models.
➤ Recognition from the market
❚ Recognition from the Twitter community
For a comparison with another well-known AI project Bittensor ($TAO):
> Telegram detection tool:
> Browser extension:
Whether in terms of total followers, Smart followers, KOL fan counts, or Twitter ratings and fan quality, Wayfinder far surpasses Bittensor ($TAO).
❚ Recognition from blogger Kaito
Kaito's bloggers primarily consist of KOLs and analysts with higher cognition. Previously, in Kaito's voting, Wayfinder received over 24 million votes and dominated the Kaito leaderboard for a while.
❚ Recognition from the data platform
Wayfinder once ranked first in the encryption project ranking of the data platform RootData.
Even after a major airdrop and a price correction, it still maintains an overall ranking of 27, with the AI sector ranking 4th.
The ranking of RootData is calculated by an algorithm without human intervention, reflecting the market popularity and recognition of Wayfinder.
➤ Strong background
❚ Strong team financing background
Wayfinder is developed by the Parallel team, which has raised a total of $85 million from 2021 to 2024 according to coincarp.
Investment institutions include well-known investment funds and organizations such as Solana Ventures / Paradigm / Vaneck / Coatue / OSS / Toly (Solana) / Chad Hurley (YouTube Founder) / Distributed Global / Operating Group / Big Brain, etc.
❚ The team's card game became a sensation
The products under the team include the popular card game Parallel TCG. According to DappRadar data, the total trading volume of Parallel TCG game NFTs reached $230 million.
At its peak, this card game had 1,200 daily active wallet addresses and a daily trading volume of $122,800.
➤ Allocation, release, and application scenarios of $prompt
❚ Token release
$prompt token total supply is 1 billion, with the token allocation as shown below:
Of this, 50% of the allocation is for the community part, which includes 40% for reserves ($PRIME stakers), 5% to support Wayfinding activities, and 5% for future ecological incentives.
Investor allocation ratio is 25.49%.
The operational portion accounts for 24.41%, with the team part accounting for 16.51%, the foundation 6.66%, and the partner fund pool 1.34%.
Investors, foundations, teams, Wayfinding activities, and reserves will be released linearly over 3 years:
❚ Token application scenarios
First, users need to pay $prompt tokens to purchase AI Shell, and then use various functions of intelligent products.
Second, $prompt can be consumed within the Wayfinder ecosystem. For example, interacting with other Shells, expanding memory storage capacity, etc.
Third, ecological contributors need to stake $prompt to propose new navigation paths.
Fourth, decentralized governance.
➤ In conclusion
Returning to the initial question of the article, the answer is self-evident. The rich and intelligent application prospects, high market recognition, strong team and financing background, all contribute to Wayfinder's seamless integration across major platforms. Of course, this is also inseparable from the project's adept operation.
