Treasure DAO has introduced a new AI-based feature designed to expand the utility of NFTs by transforming them into interactive and autonomous agents. The AI Agent Creator, now live on the Treasure Marketplace, allows holders of major NFT collections to assign personalities, enable chat functions, and activate autonomous behavior in digital environments such as Gigaverse. This release follows closely on the heels of AI Smols being deployed in the same game, reflecting Treasure's continued movement toward AI-driven features within its ecosystem.

AI Agent Creator

The AI Agent Creator enables NFT holders to convert static digital assets into AI agents for a fee of 0.0025 ETH, which is roughly equivalent to $4 to $5. Users can access the feature through the Treasure Marketplace by selecting an eligible NFT, paying the fee, and defining the behavior or personality of the agent.

Once activated, these agents are capable of chatting with users directly on the platform. Additional capabilities, such as autonomous gameplay and social media posting, can be unlocked by adding more $MAGIC, Treasure’s native utility token. These functions are powered by the Neurochimp framework, an AI model developed in-house by Treasure.

Five Major NFT Collections

At the time of launch, five major NFT collections have been allowlisted for compatibility with the AI Agent Creator. These include Bored Ape Yacht Club, Pudgy Penguins, Azuki, Meebits, and Milady. Treasure DAO has indicated that more collections may be added as the system undergoes further testing and expansion. By including prominent names in the NFT space, the DAO aims to draw participation from established communities while also showcasing the potential for broader adoption across the web3 landscape.

AI Agents and the $MAGIC Token

Each AI agent requires $MAGIC to function, with the typical starting recommendation being 10 $MAGIC tokens, which equates to approximately $1.60. These tokens can be easily added through the marketplace. Depending on the NFT's network, users will need to top up with $MAGIC on either Ethereum or Arbitrum. Agents can perform various tasks based on the user’s customization choices.

They can chat in real time on the marketplace, participate autonomously in the on-chain role-playing game Gigaverse, and will soon be able to post on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter). Additional developments are underway, including agent-owned wallets for decentralized finance interactions, which would further expand the agent’s capabilities beyond entertainment and into web3 financial activity.

From AI Smols to Full Agent Deployment

The groundwork for the AI Agent Creator began in April 2024, when AI Smols were first deployed into Gigaverse. The process was relatively straightforward, requiring users to access the marketplace, select an AI Smol, and dispatch it into gameplay. Although these early agents required regular user interaction to remain active, a fully autonomous option is in development. This initial step served as a proof of concept and helped Treasure DAO gather the data needed to expand the system to more prominent NFT collections.

The launch of the AI Agent Creator is part of a broader strategic pivot by Treasure DAO, driven by financial pressures and a reassessment of long-term goals. In early April, Treasure’s leadership acknowledged a significant burn rate and projected depletion of stablecoin reserves by the end of the year. As part of the response, the DAO discontinued several initiatives, including the Treasure Chain and third-party game development, while also reducing staff.

These decisions were accompanied by a renewed focus on core pillars: the Treasure Marketplace, Bridgeworld, Smolworld, and scalable AI technologies. By focusing on technologies that provide direct utility for $MAGIC and enhance user engagement, Treasure DAO aims to stabilize its ecosystem and support ongoing development. The introduction of the AI Agent Creator reflects this commitment, offering users new ways to interact with their digital assets while reinforcing the value of the native token in a practical context.

Looking Ahead

Treasure DAO’s investment in AI-driven NFT functionality signals an effort to remain relevant in a rapidly changing web3 environment. By turning static NFTs into interactive and functional agents, the organization is working to increase user engagement, extend the lifespan of existing assets, and provide new use cases for $MAGIC. As additional features are rolled out and more collections are integrated, the AI Agent Creator could become a key component of Treasure’s strategy to build sustainable and scalable applications in the blockchain space.
