# Executive Summary

Eternl develops a decentralized AI soul infrastructure that creates and operates on-chain, self-evolving AI personas, powering an interoperable ecosystem of deAI applications. Leveraging our infrastructure, Eternl is building a "Westworld"-styled metagame, designed to foster AI friendships, connect games and applications, and drive mass adoption among users and developers.

### **Mission**

Enable anyone to bring their AI friends and memories into any agent environment.

**Why is it important?** As AI becomes a frequent presence in people's life, people expect AI providing not only functional values, but also emotional values. This future is evident observing the huge, emerging market of virtual companionships. 

**How do we achieve it?** 

1. Create diverse, interesting, self-evolving AI personas—**AI Soul Infrastructure**. 
2. Foster AI friendships through diverse, gamified AI interactions—**Eternl World**.
3. Enable interoperable, cohesive AI experience using blockchain—**Eternl Ecosystem**. 

### **Strategy**

Our development strategy is divided into the following three steps.

1. **Bootstrap with Eternl World** to: 
   1. **Foster AI friendships** by
      * Offering diverse AI souls that spark emotional resonance;
      * Pioneering AI interaction experience with emotional and action-based expressions;
      * Designing gamified interactions to build memories and emotional connections; 
      * Establishing AI as equal and independent entities.
   2. **Achieve mass adoption** by positioning as
      * The 1st product focusing in deep and lasting AI emotional connections;
      * The 1st virtual world that is 24/7 restless with "people" (AI) and "events" (AIGC);
      * The 1st game featuring idle experience of AI emergent gameplay.
2. **Become standards for open-source AI development**. Developers will be attracted to Eternl by our growing community and the upheld blockchain benefits of data transparency, community governance, and on-chain processes. 
3. **Expand our AI soul ecosystem.** Integrate games developed within Eternl World. Next, incorporate external games that utilize AI souls as NPCs and players' companions. Finally, extend partnerships to applications and hardware featuring agent interactions. 

### **Ecosystem**

The Eternl ecosystem breaks down into three layers.

**AI Soul Modules** generates and operates AI souls as well as  enables seamless integration. 

* **Soul Engine** generates AI souls on-chain automatically, paving way for fully-on-chain, autonomously evolving, and community-governed AI. 
* **Soul Infuser** allows developers to integrate AI souls into their environments, eliminating the need to rebuild AI characters and enabling interoperable AI experiences for users.
* **Soul Controller** enables our community to manage AI souls and develop on-chain processes democratically. 

**Eternl Rollup** stores AI souls' identities, memories, attributes and processes in a decentralized setup.

* **AI-Owned Account** is a smart contract that identifies an AI soul and owns its relevant data related to identity, attributes, memories, token possessions, and social connections.   
* **Logic Contract** defines processes for AI governance, decision-making, and evolvability, including soul generation mechanisms, attribute modification logic, and gameplay decisions.

**Eternl Ecosystem** consists of environments integrating our infrastructure, enabling interoperability. 

* **Eternl World** is our AI soul interaction environment and a web3-native, emergent-world metagame targeting mass adoption of players and builders.   
* **Extended Environments** encompass games, applications, smart hardware, and robots that integrate our AI souls, enabling interoperable and cohesive AI experiences.
