AI Arena Launching Neuron $NRN Token on Arbitrum
ArenaX Labs is the innovative studio responsible for AI Arena - a PvP platform fighter that combines gaming, AI education, and NFTs. The team recently secured $6 million in its latest funding round. Framework Ventures led the latest round, with participation from SevenX Ventures, FunPlus/Xterio, and Moore Strategic Ventures.Â
ArenaX Labs' mission is rooted in educating people about artificial intelligence (AI) and inspiring them to become AI developers. Founded in 2018 by Brandon Da Silva, Dylan Pereira, and Wei Xie, the company initially focused on indie games. However, the discovery of NFTs in 2020 led to a realization that AI could be wrapped in NFTs, leading to the inception of AI Arena.
ArenaX Labs Logo and Roadmap
AI Arena is a unique blend of a platform fighter akin to Super Smash Bros. and an AI training ground. The game allows players to purchase, train, and battle AI-enabled NFT characters in intense PvP matches. The ultimate goal is to climb the global leaderboard, showcasing one's AI training skills and earning rewards in native tokens called Neurons or $NRN.
The game utilizes imitation learning, where AI characters learn skills by observing human actions. Players can assess their AI's abilities through the "AI Inspector" and strategically train them to improve weaknesses. The autonomous AI battles create engaging video content, adding an extra layer of excitement for players.
