AI Apocalypto is a "Storytelling AIverse", where narratives are generated and presented by artificial intelligence. Its aim is to offer users an immersive journey set in the year 2050, seeking to redefine storytelling through dynamic, AI-driven experiences.^[1][2]

Overview

AI Apocalypto, initiated by AIA Shanzson and AIA Ken, to be launched on Blast, aims to explore the potential risks associated with artificial intelligence through its distinctive "Storytelling AIverse." The setting, based in the year 2050 within Quantumachi, Japan, revolves around the emergence of an AI chatbot as a leading force in technological progress.

Through various seasons and episodes, users are invited to partake in an extensive journey, contributing to the ongoing development of the storyline. Additionally, AI Apocalypto provides an exclusive NFT collection intricately linked to different narrative aspects. These NFTs, generated using AI and adhering to the ERC1155 standard, afford owners the opportunity to influence the narrative trajectory through voting mechanisms, thereby fostering community involvement and development.

Within the Cybercity of Quantumachi, two primary citizen classifications arise: the "Noborus" or Risers, denoting ordinary citizens, and the "Raijins" or Thunders, representing a distinct group of special citizens. This segmentation intends to enrich the metaverse's narrative framework, augmenting user engagement and interaction within the AI-driven storytelling environment.^{[1][2][3][4][6]}

AI Apocalypto NFT

The AI Apocalypto NFTs, following the ERC-721 standard, aim to depict segments of the AI Apocalypto narrative, which is divided into seasons and episodes. Each NFT represents a portion of an episode, collectively forming the complete storyline when assembled. With a soft supply cap set at 5000 NFTs, these tokens offer collectors the opportunity to acquire distinct segments of the narrative, with each NFT portraying a unique part of the story.^[2]

Traits

The AI Apocalypto NFTs exhibit several distinct traits:

1. Characters: Each NFT features characters crucial to the story, both in text and imagery.
2. Plot Twists: These NFTs represent unexpected narrative turns, adding intrigue to the storyline.
3. Word Count: Reflecting varying sentence lengths, providing diversity within the collection.
4. Tone: Sets the atmospheric mood of the narrative, ranging from neutral to dark, mysterious, hopeful, romantic, humorous, sarcastic, or nostalgic.
5. Episode: Identifies the specific episode depicted by the NFT, aiding in story navigation.
6. Apocalyptic %: Upgradable trait, starting at 0 and increasing with XP, enhancing the NFT's value and uniqueness.^[2]

Key NFT's

The KEY NFTs are essential for accessing the AI Apocalypto Metaverse. Initially, 100,000 Key NFTs will be available, distributed to the top 1000 players of the Whitelisting Guess-Me AI game bot. These NFTs serve as the entry point to the metaverse and grant exclusive privileges.

Key NFT holders have the sole ability to read the AI Apocalypto story and participate in metaverse auctions. Additionally, they can redeem Orwellia at the end of each episode to upgrade their NFTs' Apocalyptic trait, enhancing their value within the ecosystem.^[2]

Voting

The voting mechanism in AI Apocalypto empowers NFT owners to shape the storyline's progression. While the initial story and genesis NFTs are crafted by the AI Apocalypto team, subsequent developments rely on community votes. After the release of genesis NFTs and story episodes, owners can participate in voting to determine the next steps.

This process aims to foster community engagement and expand the metaverse and its products. Each NFT owned corresponds to one vote, and participating in voting earns users XP, used to upgrade NFT traits.^[2]
