Overview

INFT (Intelligent NFT) is a project designed to overcome the limitations of traditional, static, and one-way NFTs by introducing interactive and evolving digital assets. By integrating AI and blockchain technologies, INFT transforms NFTs from mere collectibles into intelligent digital entities capable of communication, memory, and emotional expression.

Rooted in the core Web3 principles of personalization, interactivity, and autonomy, INFTs grow and evolve based on user interactions. For instance, through continuous conversations or user-driven activities, an INFT’s personality, appearance, and potential functionalities dynamically change. These interactions are transparently recorded on the blockchain, ensuring verifiability, while personal data is securely protected through advanced privacy-preserving technologies.

INFT is built on the object-oriented architecture of the Sui blockchain, with AI computation handled within Atoma Network’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The project also utilizes Seal Protocol for conditional access to private data and Walrus for the separation of public and private metadata, ensuring user trust and data sovereignty.

Ultimately, INFT goes beyond static NFTs by pioneering a new paradigm of intelligent Web3 content — from AI companions and emotionally expressive digital characters to evolving digital assets. It has potential applications across gaming, messaging, the metaverse, digital humans, and more, positioning itself as a groundbreaking shift in how NFTs are conceived and used.

Problem Statement

Challenges with Traditional NFTs

1. Static Nature: NFTs remain unchanged after minting, offering no dynamic utility.
2. Limited Engagement: Users have no incentive to interact beyond buying and selling.
3. Monetization Issues: Creators only earn from the initial sale and limited royalties.
4. Lack of Scalability: Many NFTs rely on costly, inefficient storage solutions.
5. Underutilized AI Potential: No direct AI-driven mechanisms exist to enhance NFTs.

Solution: INFT Framework

INFT introduces AI-powered, evolving NFTs that grow in intelligence and value through user interactions. This is achieved through:

• AI-Driven Learning: INFTs adapt to interactions, enhancing engagement and utility.
• Storage-Linked Value: NFTs evolve based on a storage count, allowing owners to train their NFT by purchasing additional storage.
• Dynamic Metadata Updates: INFTs continuously update their metadata to reflect growth, ensuring long-term engagement.
• Decentralized Storage: Powered by Walrus, ensuring secure and verifiable metadata management.
• Creator Royalties & Sustainable Monetization: A dynamic royalty model rewards past owners based on their contributions to an NFT's evolution.

How it works

1. A user mint an INFT.
2. The user interacts with the AI by leveraging the Atoma network.
3. The metadata from the interaction is then self-generated and stored in Walrus storage along with the score, and an NFT is created and updated via a smart contract.

Afterwards, whenever metadata is uploaded to Walrus storage and the interaction score is updated, the data is encrypted via encryption, and the data verification and unlocking process is repeated using SEAL until the metadata is stored.

Key Features

1. AI-Driven Interaction

• INFTs respond and evolve based on user inputs and interactions.
• Learning models enable INFTs to offer tailored responses, insights, and creative outputs.

2. Interaction Count & Evolution Mechanism

• Each INFT tracks its Interaction Count, which determines its growth and value.
• Owners can purchase Interaction Tokens to enhance NFT intelligence.
• NFTs evolve into higher-tier versions based on user engagement and data inputs.

3. Interaction Tokens (Request Quotes)

• Utility tokens that enable NFT training and advanced interactions.
• Provide a continuous revenue stream by driving user engagement.

4. Dynamic Royalties & Incentives

• Previous owners earn a percentage of future sales, determined by an NFT’s Interaction Score.
• Encourages long-term value creation and shared ecosystem growth.

5. INFT Marketplace

• Central hub for buying, selling, and trading INFTs.
• Highlights an NFT’s Interaction Score, evolution history, and unique attributes.
• Integrated with Sui blockchain for seamless transactions.
