Wayfinder, as a new on-chain #AI economic model, is an interesting innovative practice that represents a perfect integration of #DEFI and #AI. I have never encountered such an effective positive incentive flywheel. Every #AI task path goes through a cycle of creation - collateralization - verification - utilization - growth - additional collateralization - further growth, thus enabling the @AIWayfinder ecosystem to continue to expand! Today, I saw the founder K ( @templecrash) summarize and explain the logic, which is incredible, a genius design. Let me break it down simply:
Teach #AI to execute on-chain tasks Users can train #AI to learn a specific on-chain task, such as executing certain smart contract operations, analyzing data, optimizing DeFi strategies, etc. This process is similar to creating reusable 'paths' on-chain; the skills learned by AI can later be utilized by others, akin to creating a long-term appreciating digital asset on-chain that can continuously generate income. Guaranteeing information by staking $PROMPT tokens When users teach #AI tasks, they need to stake $PROMPT tokens as a guarantee of information quality. This mechanism ensures the reliability of the information and prevents the market from being polluted by junk data.
Verification mechanism of task paths
• Other users can pay verification fees to check the accuracy of task paths.
• Once verified, the task path becomes a public resource available for everyone to use and gains security assurance.
• After verification, collateral providers can obtain additional rewards and maintain the market reputation of the path. The use of task paths brings passive income.
• Anyone can call these AI task paths, while the original creators can earn revenue shares from usage.
• As paths are used by more people, returns gradually accumulate, forming long-term cash flow. The 'network effect' of task paths.
• Popular paths will attract more users, increasing the path's value.
• Investors who stake $PROMPT can add collateral to enhance security while earning higher returns, similar to liquidity mining in DeFi, where users can earn rewards by contributing collateral.
• More collateral = higher security = more capital inflow, forming a virtuous cycle. Asset appreciation and yield amplification.
• Early participants can lock in low-price stakes, increasing future yield rates.
• Increased collateral funds for popular paths drive larger capital flows and enhance path value.
• Increased liquidity depth attracts institutional investors, further driving the price increase of $PROMPT. As capital flow increases, it promotes the continuous iteration of the entire ecosystem, forming a strong positive cyclic path from creation - collateralization - verification - utilization - growth - additional collateralization - further growth, enabling the sustainability and expansion of the Wayfinder ecosystem. This model is also the most appealing one I have seen among the many #DeFAI track projects recently. This strategy provides substantial returns with varying risk tolerance to every user or investor participating in each cycle.
For example:
• Ordinary retail investors can participate in early layouts: In the early market, teach AI tasks and create paths to gain a first-mover advantage.
• For institutional investors, they can participate in long-term staking: By adding collateral, locking in profits from high-yield paths.
• Can participate in liquidity management: Combining with other DeFi mechanisms to improve capital efficiency, exploring more high-yield DeFi paths to earn passive returns.
Summary: Wayfinder, through this comprehensive incentive program, brings a new paradigm model to the #DeFAI track, combining AI empowerment and DeFi staking mining to provide users with new investment opportunities, and is expected to become a core infrastructure of the future #DeFAI track, which is worth looking forward to.
