AI and blockchain have matured, but most Web3 AI projects remain stuck in a tech-first mindset. Some infrastructure exists, but users are left with little to actually interact with. Outside of niche tools, the average person’s “AI agent experience” in Web3 is reduced to Telegram bots or Twitter bots like aixbt.
In crypto culture, we see a similar gap. Memecoins and NFTs gather communities around static images or short-term vibes, but they lack systems for ongoing interaction. There’s no persistent, evolving presence for people to build a relationship with.
Metis ecosystem projects LazAI and LazPad address this by introducing Companion DATs (Data Anchoring Tokens) that are AI-powered, evolving identities that grow with their users. While Hyperion is building the rails for networks like LazAI to scale.
Right now, Web3 AI often feels like infrastructure without a front-end experience. Bots post on Twitter. Slop bots run in Telegram chats. In NFTs and memecoins, interaction often ends after day one and price dips.
Evolving AI agents change this. They adapt to their owners, join games, take part in community events, and generate value over time. Pump.fun proved how memetic play fuels community energy. The Metis ecosystem has always moved fast and had fun. We see a future where users grow alongside AI agents. The LazAI Companion DAT (Data Anchoring Token) innovation makes this possible.
LazAI’s Companion DATs are interactive, onchain AI agents with memory, personality, and the ability to evolve. You own them immutably onchain, with every interaction, upgrade, and achievement permanently recorded. They remember past conversations, learn from their owners, and develop unique traits over time. You can chat with them, train them for tasks, bring them into games, and involve them in community activities.
Because DATs are anchored onchain, you can also monetize them, earning from their participation, skills, and the value they create. This transforms AI from a disposable bot into a lasting digital companion you control and profit from.
LazPad is more than a launchpad where AI meets onchain play. Built on LazAI and powered by Metis technology, it turns launches into interactive experiences instead of static token drops. Imagine if PumpFun and Virtuals had a baby…enter LazPad.
Projects can release AI agents, games, and community-driven experiences that users engage with from day one. LazAI’s agent infrastructure and Hyperion’s scalable execution combine to make every launch a space for interaction, growth, and shared value. Read the LazPad Manifesto here.
LazPad is the entry point for bringing playful, evolving AI into the hands of the community. However, AI agents push onchain scalability to its limits, demanding massive throughput and low latency. Hyperion is purpose-built to meet those demands.
Hyperion is the Metis network optimised for AI. Its parallelized architecture processes many transactions at once, enabling fast, responsive AI-driven experiences.
LazAI builds on Hyperion to keep Companion DAT interactions fluid, even with thousands of users online. The result is a stable environment where evolving AI agents can operate in real time without lag.
The old industry model of corporate products is fading, especially in crypto and new tech. The future is meme-rich, interactive, and, for lack of a better word, silly. Onchain AI identities are becoming living entities that you can collaborate with, not just look at.
We are just at the tip of the iceberg. The next evolution of Web3 AI goes beyond Telegram and Twitter bots to interactive AI agents you can engage with, grow, and own. The Metis ecosystem is building this future, turning AI into something you play with, evolve, and earn from. Powered by Metis Hyperion’s scalable AI infrastructure, LazAI’s AI network, and Metis’ battle-tested toolkit, we are making AI part of your daily digital life, aligned to improve human lives.
