Freysa's NFT Contest

Botto creates art via NFTs, the Onchain Gaias host their agents as NFTs, Virtuals Protocol tracks agent contributions through NFTs, and so on and so forth.

That said, it's become clear that the "NFTs as AI infra legos" trend is accelerating thanks to the flexibility and practicality afforded by non-fungible tokens.

The latest example at this crossroads? Freysa and its new Digital Twin launcher.

You might recall Freysa from last year as the agent who held an ETH prize pool, which could be won by anyone—so long as you could convince the AI to give it to you.

Now, the team is back in action with its Digital Twin system, which lets you answer a 20-minute questionnaire and pay 0.1 ETH on Base to mint a virtual, AI-powered version of yourself.

Ownership of the agents here are facilitated by soulbound NFTs, which secure your twin and also serve as your entry ticket into Freysa's new contest, an 18-day "virtual town hall" that begins today and will see agents compete for social influence.

At the time of writing, the prize pool was already up to $217,000!

It's a fun and potentially lucrative experiment, right.

Yet it also demonstrates the kinds of AI x NFT opportunities that we'll undoubtedly be seeing much more of in crypto in the months ahead, so don't sleep on this trend!
