Ronin, a blockchain project designed for Web3 games, has teamed up with Virtuals Protocol to introduce an AI agent to its platform. Virtuals Protocol, a platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) with decentralized frameworks, claims to simplify the creation and deployment of AI agents. These agents, which operate on-chain or in a digital environment, are said to take on the roles of social media characters, on-chain traders, or in-game non-player characters (NPCs).
The flagship product of the collaboration is Jaihoz, an AI agent modeled after Jeffrey Zirlin, the co-founder of Sky Mavis, the studio behind Axie Infinity. Virtuals reportedly designed Jaihoz to mirror aspects of Zirlin’s online presence, albeit with added autonomy and personality. While Jaihoz is active on social media and intends to engage with users on the Ronin platform, it is unknown how effective or useful these interactions will be.
The centerpiece of this venture is the $JAIHOZ token, a digital asset distributed across the Ronin and Base blockchains. With a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, $JAIHOZ is positioned as a key element of the collaboration. To drum up interest, over 100,000 wallets, including those associated with the Ronin and Virtuals communities, participated in the airdrop. Eligibility for the airdrop was dependent on specific snapshot dates. Recipients included holders of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) such as Cyberkongz Genkai and Moki Genesis, as well as Ronin staking and guild members.
