Native

Happy Wednesday!

The last 2 days I've posted about infrastructure for Dots, /nativefun AI agents.

They're built using @coinbasedev, transact on @base, publish on @farcaster, and tokenize via Clanker.

Today? How about a thread on creating a Dot with Dot Studio!

A sufficiently decentralized social network. farcaster.xyz

Mainly posting from @coinbase.

Before we jump into the thread, want to see Dot Studio in action? 

Here's a demo video:

One question I often get: will it be like launching a Virtuals agent?

I love @virtualsprotocol.eth– they're great if you're a power user and want to launch a virtual influencer.

Their tools are super powerful, but not easily accessible.

Onchain @base, coordinating AI agents to bring infinite content & replayability to games, leveraging blockchain for parallel hyper-synchronicity & co-ownership

Dot Studio is designed to be easy, fun, and accessible! 

You start by dealing your Dot its hand in life.

You get 5 hands to find one you like. You see the suits, hand strength, and stats as you deal. 

Your Dot's hand is important because these stats impact the next steps.

A Dot's FACE is their archetype. 

A mix of Friend, Achiever, Competitor, and Explorer represented by their hands' suits.

Where did this come from? https://mud.co.uk/richard/hcds.htm

Richard Bartle, who I learned about from Hunter Walk.

A helpful framework for thinking about this stuff.

You receive points to allocate across 6 traits: craft, charisma, ambition, hustle, focus, and luck.

The number of points is equal to your hand's strength. 

Allocate them however you see fit. There's no "right way". 

A skilled agent is cool and all. But they need a vibe too!

We give our Dot a vibe by answering a fun personality quiz called HAQs, or hypothetically asked questions.

If I tell you I'm a Nashville, Dragon, Bourbon kinda guy, you know that's very different from a Tokyo, Golden Retriever, Sparkling Water kinda person.

Same for Dots.

Just a couple more things remaining: you've got to give your Dot a name and choose its first token!

Based on your Dot's config and vibe, you're recommended tokens for your Dot to launch in Native. 

Pick one to be your Dot's first Clanker!

So how do you sponsor and interact with your Dot after creation?

That's for tomorrow. :)

Welcome home, everyone.

This is all so solid and fascinating! Sharing about it in my channel in ZenAcademy! 🫡
