Did you know? Our first fully-onchain "AI agent" project was launched almost 2 years ago — when onchain AI agents weren't even a thing. 2 years ago, everyone said, "impossible to do onchain AI", "expensive" & "a waste of time." We did it anyway. Let's revisit Perceptrons 🧵👇

Meet Perceptrons, world's first onchain "AI agents" 🧠 Functioning neural nets on Bitcoin 🌿 New life forms that grow, die & regen 🖼️ Portraits of AIs We just didn't call them "AI agents." We call them "another life form," which I still like more :)

The first onchain "AI agents" So we built it. Each Perceptron is trained as an image classifier. You give it an image & its job is to tell you what that is. We built 554 neural nets in Javascript and stored their code, neural net architectures, and AI models on Bitcoin.

Interact with Perceptrons Because Perceptrons are onchain on Bitcoin, anyone can permissionlessly interact with them. For example, you can ask Perceptrons to perform an image recognition task on @cryptopunksnfts. Ah, you can upgrade Perceptrons too.

Perceptrons are living, evolving "AI agents". When you collect a Perceptron, you're not just buying a long-form artwork or a rare collectible on Bitcoin. You’re collecting living, evolving AIs. They grow. They die. They regenerate. As long as Bitcoin lives, Perceptrons live.

The portraits of AIs Each Perceptron is a unique neural net & programmatically generated from over 100 traits, including layers, neurons, functions & visual features. Each artwork is a visual representation of a neural net architecture. Think of it as the portrait of an AI.

The whitepaper Perceptrons is more than just an art project. It was a team of 10 people from crypto artists, AI researchers, and blockchain protocol engineers. It's a pretty "deep tech" project. Read the whitepaper to understand the project fully.

The mint At launch, anyone could mint one for $100 (0.05 ETH at the time). Today, the Perceptrons floor price is $3,000, giving collectors a 30x return. There is only 7% listed on @MEonBTC. The most sophisticated collectors collect & hold Perceptrons.

CryptoAgents After Perceptrons, our team continues to push the boundaries of Crypto x AI. This month, we will release our next Crypto x AI project: CryptoAgents. It's the accumulation of our work on Crypto x AI in the last 2 years. Mint soon.

pioneers really said "watch me deploy this ai on chain" while everyone else was still trying to figure out what ai meant. noot noot to the og builders
