These agents are more than just avatars; they possess adaptable skills and intelligence stored in their AI cores. This opens up a world of possibilities for games, metaverses, and even financial platforms. Imagine intelligent companions in your favorite game, learning and evolving alongside you. Or consider AI-driven traders in a decentralized finance setting, making decisions based on acquired strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASM Agents are built with versatility in mind. Their AI cores can be combined with various physical embodiments, like popular NFTs such as Meebits or Bored Apes. This seamless integration unlocks new dimensions for existing assets and expands the potential of AI in the digital world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents are made up of three parts: the Brain, the Avatar and the Form. These two pieces are interchangeable, allowing for an infinite number of conceivable combinations and uses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Brains<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Brain, the core of the Agent, is built from a randomized set of base values known as a Genome Matrix, or your Agent&#8217;s DNA. This offers each Agent a distinct mix of capabilities and limitations; for example, the Genome Matrix assigns attributes such as strength, speed, size, and risk tolerance to each Brain in a unique combination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avatars<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avatars are the visual representations of your character; what they seem like and how they function. Avatars are what allow a Brain to function in its universe; they provide it with physical form and attributes. Bring your current NFT graphics or model from another region of the Metaverse, or design completely new Avatars for your Agent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Forms<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form primarily encompasses the visual aspects of an agent. Its significance varies depending on the agent&#8217;s purpose. For instance, a trading bot&#8217;s form might be merely cosmetic, while the size and appearance of a fighting game character could be strategically crucial. Existing NFTs like Punks, Bored Apes, and Azukis can be considered illustrations of &#8216;form&#8217; within the current landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Memories<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Agent can learn and increase its skills using embedded machine learning, both via experience and through particular training in an Artificial Intelligence Gym. Memories are kept in the Memory Tree of the Brain, which is an immutable record of the memories made and held by that unique Brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cortex ASM<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cortex is the Altered State Machine utility&#8217;s principal entrance. The Lunaris Machine is used to generate ASTO-Energy, then used to explore Alleriya&#8217;s terrain and mine unique Gen II Brains, unlocking your own Non-Fungible Intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your Agent you can perform so many actions such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0Traveling across worlds(Open Metaverse)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are an infinite number of worlds. From financial markets to sports fields, battlegrounds, and beach bars. As new planets emerge, so do new Avatars and Memories to explore them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain abilities and strengths will be more or less valuable in certain situations. Strength lends itself naturally to games, whereas risk tolerance is essential in DeFi. Each interoperable Agent has a unique set of traits stored in its Genome that it will express based on the environment in which it is used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>AI Training Centers<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training allows agents to learn, grow, and improve. Training takes place in an Artificial Intelligence Gym, where a machine learning (ML) model trainer tailored to each world is used to increase the Agent&#8217;s performance. The ML model employs a neural network and works in tandem with the Agent&#8217;s unique Genome to produce results that are unique to each Agent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Owning and Trading<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASM Asto invented the world&#8217;s first Non Fungible Intelligence, a unique AI that can be securely owned and exchanged, by merging AI technology with the NFT process.

ASTO is a ERC-20 token that acts as the ASM ecosystem&#8217;s governance and utility token.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; ASM pioneered the concept of Non Fungible Intelligence, a novel metaverse tool that enables anyone to own an AI inside an NFT. ASM Brains are one-of-a-kind AI NFTs with a Genome Matrix that determines their strengths and weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; ASM created the Cortex, a bespoke dashboard that allows users to participate in ASM and ASTO-related events such as Genome Mining and Intelligence Mining. Genome Mining is the process of mining for Gen II Brains utilizing ASTO-Energy, whereas Intelligence Mining is the process of training a Brain for a certain environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; ASM collaborated with a number of metaverse initiatives and businesses, including Non-Fungible Labs, FIFA, Authentic businesses Group, Warner Music Group, ATEM, The Seekers, and Cryptowalkers.
