Wayfinder Introduction:
Wayfinder is an artificial intelligence protocol launched by Parallel, designed to bring the power of AI agents to the blockchain to support the gameplay of Colony. In simple terms, the system allows AI agents, known as “Shells,” to navigate the blockchain environment, execute transactions, and interact with decentralized applications. Wayfinder can be used for a variety of use cases in both gaming and non-gaming environments. For example, blockchain-based games can utilize Wayfinder to deploy their own autonomous AI agents or manage the discovery and distribution of scarce in-game resources. The protocol can also be used to create intelligent trading or NFT minting bots, and even AI-powered customer service agents.
