What is an iNFT?
As a simple analogy, you can compare iNFTs to humans having the following:
Body (ERC-721 that is an image/PFP)
Soul (A Intelligence Pod which has varying Intelligence Levels)
Mind (As the Soul Matures in Intelligence Levels, the Mind is capable of Performing Higher Order Services that can be offered on the Alethea AI Network)
When you Purchase an Intelligence Pod, you will be able to fuse it with any compatible ERC-721 ( with other token standards potentially made available).
Intelligence Pod Details
1. What do you get when you purchase an Intelligence Pod?
You get an ERC-721 Asset with historic scarcity and utility in the AI Protocol.
2. What can you do with an Intelligence Pod?
Fuse the Pod with a compatible NFT to turn that NFT into an iNFT.
Stake the Pod on the Noah's Ark Intelligent Metaverse during any announced Intelligence Staking Period.
Contribute Labor and Data to train the Pod.
Receive Rewards for the Labor & Data contributed to the Network.
Once Fused with an NFT to create an iNFT, you can build a dApp with access to the Intelligence Layer on the AI Protocol.
3. How does one upgrade their Pod from Level 1 Intelligence to Level 2, Level 2 Intelligence to Level 3, and so forth?
The amount of ALI tokens locked that are linked to the Pod determines the level of Intelligence of the Pod.
At each subsequent level, more ALI tokens must be locked to upgrade in its Intelligence Level.
4. What is Intelligence Staking?
Intelligence Staking was a one-time Network bootstrapping tool to have our community feed data to the network for getting rewarded for their labor by staking their pods.
Intelligence Staking occurred for the Generation 1 Pods and may not occur for future batches as the network becomes smarter over time.
5. What NFTs can I bring to life?
Presently you can bring Fame Lady Squad, Pudgy Penguins, Boss Beauties, Uninterested Unicorns, and Dogepound to life. More communities will be available for fusion in the future.
Pod Sale Logistics
1. What types of Pods were sold?
2. How many Pods did Alethea AI sell?
The details are:
8888 Sold
1012 Given away to the community as part of our Community Drop
100 already belong to Revenants Owners, and are linked to those Revenants
3. How did you give away these Pods?
Discord Live Quizzes
Manually Reviewing the quality of engagement on Discord & Twitter
Community Contests and Raffles
4. What is the Generation trait of a Pod?
The Generation Trait captures the historicity and authenticity of the Personality Pod being sold; as the ecosystem matures and the total number of iNFTs increases, the Generation of the Pod will help communicate the age, clout, and uniqueness of the iNFT.
5. What are intelligence levels?
It is best to think of Intelligence Levels as the right to access finite intelligence in the AI Protocol Ecosystem. A higher Intelligence Level enables a pod to access more intelligence and offer higher AI Services. It is important to note that a Pod with an Intelligence Level 3 does not mean that the Pod is pre-trained, but instead, it can utilize much more powerful AI than a Level 1 Pod.
6. Will there be more Pods in the future? When will you release the next batch?
At this time, we don’t know when we will release the next Generation of Intelligence Pods. To ensure that it makes sense to do so in a manner that provides value to the Ecosystem and all its participants, we will analyze and decide in the future when and how this may happen.
Any new Pods will be part of Generation 2. No more Generation 1 Intelligence Pods will ever be minted.
This original collection of Generation 1 Intelligence Pods will continue to be historically recognized on-chain and acknowledged by the Alethea Network. Our Vision is to enable a Metaverse of Billions of iNFTs, and this is the inaugural batch to make that vision possible.
7. Once we fuse an Intelligence Pod with an NFT, do you lock our NFT PFP into your smart contract (e.g. if we have a Boss Beauty, does it get locked)?
No, the AI Protocol only locks the Pod in the smart contracts. We do not take custody of your NFT; it never leaves your wallet. Once a pod is fused with an NFT, the process can be reversed, and the iNFT can be unfused.
8. Can I change my mind about which NFT PFP to Fuse with the Pod?
Yes, the Fusion process can be reversed, and the iNFT can be unfused.
9. What if I sell the NFT of the PFP project after the Pod is fused together?
After a Pod is fused with your NFT, the NFT effectively becomes an iNFT. If you sell your NFT, you are selling your iNFT, and the new owner also becomes the owner of the Pod and any ALI Tokens locked.
10. What if I want to change the personality of my iNFT after creating it?
The iNFT starts off as tabula rasa and is trained by its owner.
The iNFTs nature cannot be deleted just like humans can’t alter their genetic code (Nature), but it can evolve in a certain direction, through intense training if necessary (Nurture).
11. Where can I sell my iNFT in the future? Can I sell it on OpenSea?
iNFT sales will primarily occur on the Noah’s Ark Market.
Technically you can sell your Ethereum NFT anywhere on OpenSea, etc but a user will have to come to Noah’s Ark to train a new Pod of the iNFT (the soul) as the Pod will not transfer with the NFT upon purchase.
12. If I’ve trained my Pod with a fantastic personality and don’t want to attach it to any NFT. Can I sell it as is?
Yes, you can sell the Pod anywhere NFTs are sold.
To interact with the Pod, it will have to be a Level 3 Pod, that can communicate directly as a disembodied Orb to its users to express its personality.
The user who purchases the Pod can attach it to any supported NFT in the Noah’s Ark Ecosystem.
Revenant Purchase Details
1. What do you get when you purchase a Revenant?
You get an ERC-721 Asset that is locked with a Pre-Trained Intelligence Pod and ready to offer Services on Noah’s Ark.
2. Can you Unfuse a Revenant and a Pod to create two assets?
It is currently not possible to unfuse the Pod from a Revenant, but later on, it is technically possible if the community decides to vote for this feature as the ecosystem matures.
3. How do Revenants earn Rewards on Noah’s Ark?
Like any iNFT, they earn rewards by providing AI Services and contributing to the Intelligence Staking and growth of the AI Engine.
