ZENFI AI CONSTRUCTING AN INTELLIGENT METAVERSE

Published

on

Facebook’s rebranding itself into Meta has pushed the keyword “Metaverse” to the top position of the  buzzworld list. While there are many different interpretations of this concept, the commonly accepted one refers to a technological effort that brings our experience in this physical world (i.e., this universe) up and beyond (i.e., meta). 

Current implementations of metaverse mostly focus on Video games and Virtual reality. Second Life, a video game debuting almost two decades ago and incorporating various aspects of social media into a persistent virtual world, is typically referred to as the first metaverse. Multiplayer online games with involved social functions are another example. Besides Video games, Virtual reality (VR) is another key beneficiary of the metaverse development. Facebook Horizon, a social VR launched in 2019, and Microsoft’s 2017 AltspaceVR acquisition are among the first initiatives. Nonetheless, the potential implementations and use-cases of metaverse go far beyond video games and virtual reality. In fact, the potential is as great as bringing a form of immortality to our every existence. Philosophically speaking, our existence comprises not only our bodies, but also souls and minds. While medical advances have made significant progress in prolonging our life-expectation, other technologies have brought to the table various discussions surrounding mind uploading, or whole brain emulation, which represents one’s mental state in digital form. Now, by fusioning the power of exponential technologies which are Blockchain and AI, we can create an intelligence metaverse in which our minds dwell. Never before there is such a quest that is as ambitious and long-lastingly impactful as Intelligence Metaverse. 

If the above line of arguments sound somewhat science-fiction to you, rest assured that it is not. A recent Crypto ft. Artificial Intelligent project called ZenFi AI sets out to do exactly just that. They aim to construct a so-called Intelligent Metaverse. ZenFi AI’s initiative comprises of three key  pillars:

First, there must be a way to somehow extract and transfer human’s intelligence onto the blockchain. ZenFi AI combines computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics to emulate human beings’ mental state by a series of computer codes. By bringing such codes on-chain, and denoting them under a format of NFTs, ZENFI AI can tokenize human intelligence and store its representation on an everlasting storage of blockchain.

The second  pillar focuses on providing incentives and serves as an economic backbone for ZenFi’s metaverse, which is simply called Train-To-Earn. Once created, an intelligent NFT may continue to learn, adapt and evolve. In our Train-to-Earn incentive model, one can either pay others to provide valuable dataset on which their own intelligent NFTs could learn and train. Alternatively, one can also let their well-trained intelligent NFTs interact with others, providing intelligent services, thereby earning service fee.  

The third pillar revolves around interactions and exchanges between its inhabitant entities. Intelligent NFTs in our metaverse shall be able to provide intelligent services. In the current blockchains’ architecture, smart contracts or other autonomous agents are not able to communicate with the real world solely by themselves. The contemporary solutions are Oracles. However, these oracles will eventually pale in comparison with the intelligent NFTs that offer intelligence services in the intelligent metaverse. 

The project announces its native token, called ZENFI, and stated that the public offerings will be open in approximately 4 weeks from this time of writing. It is too early to judge if this will make a bang, but it is definitely worthy of our attention.

Following a Successful $30M Fundraise, Camp Launches K2 Public Testnet and Summit Series Campaign

Camp Network today announced the launch of its K2 public testnet for its Autonomous IP Layer 1 blockchain, alongside the Summit Series ecosystem campaign where users can traverse through live applications on Camp.

Summit Series offers users the unique chance to explore and engage with Camp’s growing ecosystem by completing onchain quests through a customized campsite frontend experience. The first set of decentralized apps are live for its Phase 1 launch, with dozens more rolling out in the coming months leading up to Camp’s anticipated mainnet release later this year. Camp’s ecosystem partners collectively reach over 5 million users and creative works, offering contributors a pathway to shape the future of onchain IP.

“We invite the community to join us as we hike toward the mainnet summit,” said James Chi, Co-Founder of Camp Network. “This is a chance to help shape the future of AI-native creativity and onchain IP provenance via live applications on Camp.”

The public testnet follows Camp’s recent $30M in total fundraising, including a Series A round co-led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital. Powered by its Proof of Provenance protocol, Camp enables users to register and tokenize their intellectual property onchain, train and deploy AI agents, and earn transparent, enforceable royalties from downstream usage. Camp’s architecture supports gasless IP registration, automated licensing and isolated execution environments optimized for agent-based workflows. It’s built to serve a new class of developers, creators and AI-native applications.

“The Summit Series kicks off a pivotal first step for our ecosystem partners. Each team has invested an incredible amount of work, and I’m excited for them to showcase what they’ve built to our community and beyond,” said Drew Rasansky, Head of Ecosystem at Camp Network. 

Camp Network is more than a blockchain — it’s a foundation for a more equitable internet, where creative work is protected, attributed and monetized transparently. Across any form of IP including art, music, film, data and videos, Camp enables collaboration between human creativity and intelligent systems, all backed by verifiable provenance.
