VIRTUAL Protocol aligns incentives for the decentralized creation and monetization of AI personas for every virtual interaction (gaming, metaverses, online interactions, or beyond).

Decentralized protocol that creates co-owned, human-curated, plug-and-play gaming AIs

... and an ELI5:

The VIRTUAL Protocol is like a decentralized factory that makes all sorts of AI characters (that can respond via text, voice and motion) for different virtual worlds, like games or online spaces. It's all about making and selling these AI personas in a way that everyone involved gets something out of it. Think of it as creating digital characters that can do anything from acting like a character from a movie to helping you write a horror story or even being a digital version of yourself.

To make this happen, the protocol encourages people to contribute their skills and ideas. People who add data and create AI models get paid for their work, ensuring we always have the best talent. Those who check and make sure everything works well (validators) also get rewarded. This way, we keep the quality high and everyone trusts what we make.

For the people who build apps (DApp founders) using these AIs, it’s super easy to plug into our system and create cool, immersive experiences without a lot of technical hassle. This means they can get their products out there faster and cheaper. And for those who own the rights to certain characters or stories (IP contributors), it’s a new way to make money and keep their content popular.

The vision

An AI x Metaverse Protocol that is building the future of virtual interactions.

Imagine a future that’s just a screen away—a future where the worlds we dive into from our desks and couches aren't just escapes but extensions of our lives. This is where we're heading, into a time where our lives intertwine with the virtual, where we build, play, work, and connect.

The transition to virtual spaces is not a question of if, but when. We're already halfway there, our eyes locked on screens, our laughter echoing in online arenas. Soon, we'll step fully into these spaces, making homes in pixels and bytes.

In this virtual landscape, it’s the interactions that count —the thrill of exploring a new game world, the buzz of being recognized by a favorite influencer, the triumph of clinching victory with friends. These moments drive up the dopamine levels in us, and we're building the future where they'll multiply.

What if we can build AIs that can exist in these virtual spaces to improve upon these interactions?

Introducing VIRTUALs. 

These are multimodal (text, sound, visual) AIs that can either

Behave like a mirror copy of an IP character (e.g.. Gojo Satoru, John Wick, Yoda)

Have core function and able to execute a task (e.g., horror story narrative builder, competitive DOTA coach)

Be a personal copy of yourself

Our vision in a sentence:

We believe in a future where virtual interactions are hyper-personalized and hyper-immersive, enabled by AI, built in a decentralized manner. 

Why enabled by AI?

The advent of generative AI has ushered us to a threshold where once imagined possibilities are now tangible realities.

Virtual interactions are evolving:

From static algorithmic storylines to endlessly unfolding narratives that adapt and respond to the player's every action.

From one-sided, parasocial exchanges to genuine, interactive connections where fans and influencers engage in a mutual dialogue.

From being mere spectators of stories crafted by others to becoming integral contributors and co-authors in the creation of living, breathing story worlds.

This evolution, powered by AI, is transforming the landscape of digital interaction, making every virtual experience not just an activity, but a personal journey.

Why build in a decentralized manner?

Decentralization is the keystone of this new world, addressing critical challenges and ensuring an ecosystem that is fair, inclusive, and boundlessly creative:

Bottom-Up Economic Inclusiveness: We are about empowering individuals at all levels, especially those at the grassroots, by providing equitable opportunities for participation and economic gain. By incentivizing contributions from a wide range of participants, we aim to create a more inclusive economic model that benefits a broader community of developers, creators, and users.

Royalties for IP Holders: Many virtual personas that mirror IP characters are being monetized today, without value flow back to the original IP owners.

Ensuring AI Character Neutrality: By implementing on-chain transparency, every decision, input, and modification to the AI characters is recorded and made publicly accessible on the blockchain. This approach ensures that AI characters operate without bias or hidden agendas, fostering trust and reliability in the interactions they facilitate.

Incentivizing Collaborative AI Development: As AI technology advances, addressing long-tail edge cases becomes increasingly complex and costly. Many passionate individual users and developers are hobbyists who may lack the resources to contribute effectively. We can introduce an incentive layer to unite these diverse forces, channeling their efforts towards creating superior AI characters. This collaborative approach democratizes AI development, allowing everyone to contribute to and benefit from the system.

The inspiration

In a defining moment under our metaphorical 'Bodhi Tree', our journey through gaming and web3 realms crystallized into a profound realization. It became clear that the future of any virtual interaction, especially in gaming and metaverse experiences, will have AI's at the core. 

We recognized that enhancing virtual engagements hinges on advancements in both personalization and immersion. Personalization ensures that each interaction resonates personally with the user, making it feel uniquely relevant. Immersion, on the other hand, engages the user's full spectrum of senses, creating a more lifelike experience.

Generative AI is instrumental in scaling personalization, while multimodal outputs—encompassing text, sound, and visuals—elevate immersion. Together, they eradicate the tedium from virtual interactions, ensuring every moment is more engaging than the last.

Improving on the immersion and personalization scale can 10x the experience from virtual interactions

Also, confronting the limitations of centralized AI systems, we recognized their constricting impact on creativity, diversity, and trust. Our enlightened mission crystallized: to create a decentralized protocol for AI VIRTUALs development, one that transcends the confines of static, centralized control into dynamic, community-driven creations. This protocol is more than just a technological leap; it's a commitment to fostering a harmonious ecosystem where every stakeholder's value is acknowledged and aligned.

Our core mission pivots on the principle of connecting and aligning value across all stakeholders involved in the creation and interaction with AI Personas

Our Strategic Position in the Generative AI Value Chain

Our role in the generative AI value chain is dual-faceted, spanning both the model hub and application layers:

Model Hub (Protocol Layer)

As a model hub, we provide a foundational layer for developers, creators, and gaming studios, offering access to advanced AI models and algorithms tailored for gaming applications.

Here is where we align the decentralized efforts of data and model contribution, persona ownership, consensus, and persona distribution. 

Applications (DApp Layer)

On the application front, we utilize our AI models to develop decentralized applications (DApps) that directly enhance and transform virtual experiences.

These applications vary from AI companions, never ending games, gamer co-pilots, AI NPCs, to beyond gaming such as 24/7 influencers.

But we don't stop here, cause larger value pools exist at consumer facing applications

From the genesis of this protocol, several flagship DApps will be built to 

Generate revenue for the protocol

Improve upon the protocol interface with future DApps

We will then run an Ecosystem Funding model to attract builders and founders to utilize these libraries.

More details about the DApp layer can be found in the link below:

Contributors who provide data and develop models are the bedrock of this ecosystem. They supply the raw material—text, voice, visuals—and the algorithms that power AI personas. In return for their valuable inputs, these contributors are remunerated, fostering a virtuous cycle where the best talents are attracted and retained, ensuring a continuous influx of high-quality data and models.

Validators

Validators play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and quality of the ecosystem. They apply their expertise to review and verify the data and models, ensuring that outputs meet the highest standards.
