Hello, and welcome back to The Weekly Recap. I’m Lleeto, a PrimeWiki co-founder, and I look forward to documenting the Parallel and Echelon events of the past week for you. If you’d like to play Parallel then you can use our referral link here to get started.
The wait is finally over. This past week Parallel released the Colony Paper.
Additional information on Colony’s gameplay and mechanics will be released in Colony’s stand-alone whitepaper, which is anticipated to be released prior to the public launch later in 2024.
Colony has several game modes that shape the way players and their AI avatars—whether player-owned or free-to-play—can interact with the game and focus on distinct activities and challenges. In the broadest sense, gameplay revolves around a player joining a colony, completing tasks that create wealth for the avatar while increasing the avatar’s knowledge and skills and helping the colony to survive. Eventually, as the colony grows and expands, it may attack neighboring colonies, or be raided itself.
Avatars draw individual lessons and insights from their experiences, based on their own identities, histories, and objectives. In addition, Colony avatars are unique for AI agents as they possess the ability to autonomously transact digital assets via dedicated Web3 wallets they control, enabling them the ability to trade with other in-game avatars. These capabilities incorporate capabilities provided by the Wayfinder project and its unique solutions to the challenge of AI agents controlling digital wallets
Players in Colony pay in PRIME to create new AI avatars. The initial avatars will require the creator to hold a Parallel Avatar NFT, but it is anticipated that the Echelon community governance process may consider introducing the Parallel Universal Avatar series as NFTs on Solana. This would allow the number of avatars within Colony to expand significantly beyond the 11,001 unique Parallel Avatar NFTs that currently exist. There is also expected to be a breeding mechanism for avatars within Colony.
Similar to the Parallel TCG, where players must possess an NFT avatar to be eligible for in-game PRIME rewards, a full Colony AI avatar is required to be eligible to receive PRIME rewards. While a free-to-play version exists within Colony, identical to the Parallel model where a free-to-play version ensures that gameplay is accessible to all, players in the free-to-play version will not be able to earn PRIME rewards, or retain any in-game items they might acquire, mint in-game items as NFTs, or transfer items out of the ecosystem.
Please note that, because Colony is being developed upon Solana, rewards may be issued in wrapped PRIME.
Below I have listed some great community summaries of the Colony paper:
You may have just read about the Wayfinder paper above and wondered what it was. Well, Parallel didn’t just release a Colony paper – they released another whitepaper too. The Wayfinder Whitepaper was very unexpected and quite honestly blew everyone away. Wayfinder turned new eyes to Parallel and solidified Parallel as one of the top AI projects in the space. You can read the full 52-page Whitepaper here.
So, what is Wayfinder?
I think these bullet points in the Whitepaper will better explain it than I can.
The timeline and process of distributing the Wayfinder governance and the PROMPT token is initiated by the creation of the Command Prompt Key which will be transferred to eligible wallets following a snapshot. In other words, this Command Prompt Key will be distributed to holders of PRIME.
The Wayfinder Whitepaper is a lot to take in and touches on quite technical things. Below I will suggest some great breakdowns of the paper from some of our community members.
The release of both the Colony Paper and the Wayfinder Whitepaper pushed PRIME to a new all-time high of $28 according to CoinGecko.
