Why can Wayfinder have the best of both worlds?

The Internet appeared in the 1960s. After about 60 years of Kondratieff cycle, AI appeared, which may become the starting point of a new round of economic cycle. The earliest Internet applications include email, forums, and graphic websites. The earliest blockchain applications include content public chain Steem. The earliest AI applications include GPT and Deepseek driven by large language models. This is not a coincidence. Just like a newborn baby starts a new life from babbling, language applications are often one of the important beginnings. However, whether it is an industry or a new life, it cannot be limited to language applications. As a baby who has just learned to express himself, AI needs to grow further. Wayfinder is such a project, which uses blockchain technology and ecology to allow AI to grow rapidly and provide new services for Web3 ecological users.
According to the project white paper, Wayfinder is an intelligent product ecosystem with AI Agent as the core and blockchain as the main application environment. Wayfinder ecological AI Agent is called AI Shell, which is responsible for interacting with multiple AI models, which is equivalent to establishing connections between AI and AI, and AI and humans. On the one hand, Wayfinder provides more information to AI through Web3 users and blockchain information. On the other hand, Wayfinder mobilizes the computing power of AI and enables them to collaborate with each other, providing Web3 users with more functional intelligent products and convenient experiences.
In the Wayfinder smart product ecosystem, AI Shell not only plays the role of mental labor for analysis and thinking, but also a physical laborer who helps users perform a series of operations. This series of operations is the key to the Wayfinder ecosystem - the navigation path. Wayfinder's AI Shell works according to the user's request and the corresponding navigation path. For example, user A wants to grab the Genesis NFT of a certain project. AI Shell will work according to the corresponding navigation path. The pre-defined navigation path may include steps such as connecting to a wallet, switching networks, transferring fees, timing, and repeated grabbing and casting. Of course, in this process, AI's mental labor also takes effect, and the AI algorithm will analyze factors such as efficiency and safety during execution.
The features of Wayfinder's intelligent product system include but are not limited to the following: First, Wayfinder uses multiple AI models to analyze users off-chain, thereby providing efficient and intelligent services for Web3 users. Second, Wayfinder is like a natural person, helping users to perform on-chain interactions and realize various cross-chain interoperations. Third, Wayfinder's product system includes but is not limited to cross-chain, currency-to-currency transactions, game resource management, and information and analysis services. Fourth, due to the integration of multiple AI models, Wayfinder can provide graphical interface tools, and non-developers can create AI Shells in a non-code form to further use intelligent products with various functions. Fifth, the white paper mentions Wayfinder's memory function, which can prevent the negative impact of "data forgetting" of AI models.
Wayfinder was created by the Parallel team. According to coincarp, Parallel raised a total of US$85 million in 2021 and 2024.
