How smart contracts can become alive So, how can you do transactions in the future on blockchains? How can you create transactions like limit orders/stop losses for trading to manage risk and get the best prices, stop loss out of being an LP to avoid impermanent loss, or move…

The Next Generation of Blockchain Games What is it? MetaDungeon is a new blockchain game that allows Heroes to team up to fight world bosses and score phat loot worth real money! Players interact with 3 sets of NFTs: Heroes — representing players in the game Bosses — the bosses Heroes fight Gear…

In order to have a fully autonomous, living AI, the AI part needs to be running on a blockchain. Current blockchains are nowhere near capable of being able to run this kind of processing load as a whole, let alone for many on-chain AIs at the same time, so…

While we can’t immediately turn a Quantum into a human on a blockchain, we can make it appear like that without doing anything extra on-chain. This actually gets us closer to the goal of humans on-chain than you might think. Here, we rely heavily on iNFTs. We’ll combine iNFTs…

I also promised you that I’ll prove to you that an…

Children There is arguably nothing more life-like than giving birth to another. An interesting property of smart contracts is the ability of a contract to create more contracts. This way, replication can be programmed into a blockchain entity, and has actually been done years ago by creating a ‘plant’ that…

The vast majority of characters in modern video games are NPCs (non-playable characters) that the player interacts with on their adventure — they’re monsters you fight, merchants you buy from, and givers of quests. Without Autonomy, it’s impossible to have these in a blockchain game — any characters that…

We already went through what aNFTs, and by extension, aNPCs etc, are capable of, so this article is a little shorter. I think you can broadly categorise NFTs, and therefore aNFTs, into these 3 categories: Owned characters Items (including art) Utility Characters are things like CryptoKitties or Axies — they…

Out of all the ideas in the metaverse/crypto gaming space, this is perhaps the most ambitious, the most long term, and blurs the line between the real world and the digital. …
