Question 1

What is Wayfinder (PROMPT)?

Accepted Answer

Wayfinder is a decentralised AI infrastructure that enables user-owned autonomous agents—referred to as "shells"—to navigate, transact, and interact across multiple blockchain ecosystems. These agents can execute actions such as token swaps, NFT minting, asset bridging, and strategy execution, based on general user instructions. Wayfinder provides the tooling for these agents to access and control dedicated Web3 wallets, leveraging a network of indexed “wayfinding paths” that map interactions with smart contracts.

Developed by the Wayfinder Foundation in collaboration with the Echelon Prime ecosystem, Wayfinder was initially created to support *Colony*, an AI-powered blockchain game by Parallel Studios. It has since evolved into a broader AI-agent infrastructure. The project uses custom large language models (LLMs) to make blockchain interaction accessible to both technical and non-technical users, and its open-source structure supports community contribution and governance.

Question 2

What is Wayfinder (PROMPT) used for?

Accepted Answer

PROMPT is the native token of the Wayfinder network and underpins its operational, incentive, and governance mechanisms. Its uses, as ratified by the community, include:

- **Creating AI Shells**: PROMPT is required to mint new shells—autonomous AI agents with access to Wayfinder’s shared tooling and memory infrastructure.

- **Accessing Blockchain Services**: Shells use PROMPT to pay for access to wayfinding paths, cover compute and LLM usage fees, and trigger pre-execution tests via Verification Agents.

- **Path Creation and Staking**: Developers proposing new wayfinding paths must stake PROMPT. Approved paths generate rewards for their creators, while incorrect paths can lead to slashed stakes.

- **Private Access and Licensing**: PROMPT is used to purchase or license access to private wayfinding paths and to maintain exclusive shell memory or capabilities.

- **Memory and Training Functions**: PROMPT is required to expand a shell’s memory, reset learning history, or pin specific memories to influence long-term behaviour.

- **Governance Participation**: PROMPT functions as the network’s governance token. Both humans and shells can submit and vote on proposals, with agent voting power capped at 20% to manage sybil risk.

- **Bounty Rewards and Network Incentives**: The token funds bounties for undiscovered paths and rewards for contributors who create or verify important infrastructure.

Question 3

Who created Wayfinder (PROMPT)?

Accepted Answer

Wayfinder was created by the Wayfinder Foundation in collaboration with Parallel Studios and the Echelon Prime Foundation. It was originally developed to support *Colony*, a strategic simulation game built on blockchain. The infrastructure later expanded into a general-purpose platform for AI agents operating across blockchain environments.

Governance of the protocol is managed by the Wayfinder community, including PRIME token holders and contributors from associated ecosystems. The initial framework, token utilities, and roadmap were approved in a community vote, with active governance now ongoing.
