AGENTIC NPCs WITH CRYPTO WALLETS IN GAMES, APPS AND BROWSERS: WELCOME TO THE YOUMIO PROMISE @youmio_ai has been one of my favorite and most interesting investments I've made. I've been bag holding the ecosystem genesis NFTs for 2 years and I went in on the private sale. So it's certainly been a long hold here and at times a frustrating one. But maybe every destination worth finding should be a hard road to walk. Now I've seen my NFTs bags swing up and down, yet I've only been adding to my positions during dips. As you see, I've been collecting as many "Seed Points" as possibly by staking the NFTs (~43 Ancient Seeds, 243 Mythic Seeds). Here's my Proof of Bags so you know I'm not larping. Initially YOUMIO was marketed solely as just a game, a sort of AI-enabled web3 version of The Sims. But this was only the starter vision. The team built a lot of novel AI tech, tech that can be used for more than just a single gaming experience. In fact you can build an entire multiverse of agentic experiences, all powered by YOUMIO's infra (and tied to presumably an upcoming token). @youmio_ai really is unique in that it's not just an application, not just 'a game' but rather novel AI infra that just uses gaming as one of the many applications. And I think the market is now starting to see this is a technology company building novel infra, NOT just a gaming studio. The company is just starting to warm up their marketing and 'sell' the vision of what they have been building. So far YOUMIO has announced: - L1 AVAX chain (infra) - YOUMIO AGENTS (application infra) - YOUMIO WORLDs (game) On the launchpad side, we've seen a number of them come and go (@virtuals_io being the standout success, though what real AI applications that have come out of these projects have been disappointing and mostly scams), but we certainly have seen NOTHING like what YOUMIO is cooking up. Easily launching 3D agents out that are web3 enabled but can live and exist across different game engines and even in your browser. There are a lot of potential applications here with this. These agents can move seamlessly across diverse digital environments, gaming worlds, and applications (including live within your browser). They are web3 enabled and now due to the L1 chain on AVAX will be able to store state and evolve with each interaction. Next level cool. I for one, see a low hanging use case here with some of these agents living as agentic gaming NPCs, engine agnostic, able to exist and evolve across multiple gaming worlds at the same time, equipped with cryptographic wallets. NPCs who can interact with crypto in and out of game worlds onchain via the Layer1. Like how fucking cool is that? I'll give a few thoughts on the ecosystem as an investment in the next section. Keep in mind I'm probably the biggest NFT holder here so I have my biases. But I legit believe in this team and the product/infra they are building. Over the past 2 years, through market downs and ups and downs, there are only two gaming infra plays I have sized into, continue to size into, and happily holding: @ProofOfPlay and @youmio_ai.
