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. Operating on-chain or in a digital environment, these agents are said to take on the roles of social media characters, on-chain traders, or in-game non-player characters (NPCs).
The partnership’s flagship product 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 plans 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 partnership. To drum up interest, more than 100,000 wallets participated in the airdrop, including those from the Ronin and Virtuals communities. Eligibility for the airdrop depended on specific snapshot dates. Recipients included holders of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) such as Cyberkongz Genkai and Moki Genesis, as well as Ronin strike and guild members.
