On February 19, Ultiverse, a one-stop platform for AI-driven Web3 game production and publishing invested by Binance Labs, announced the launch of Ulti-Pilot. Ulti-Pilot allows users to earn points, SOUL, and other games in the Ultiverse ecosystem at zero cost. assets.

According to the information disclosed by the team, the SOUL obtained by users in Ulti-Pilot will be exchanged for Ultiverse's governance token $ULTC at a ratio of 100:1 in the later period. On February 26, the Ultiverse team announced that the airdrop reward on Ulti-Pilot will be increased from 3 billion SOUL to 10 billion SOUL, which means that 100 million $ULTC will be distributed to Ulti-Pilot users.

As the blockchain gaming circuit becomes more and more popular, is Ultiverse a project worth paying attention to? It can be observed that the floor price of Ultiverse's Genesis NFT Electric Sheep has climbed from 0.66ETH to 2.165ETH. In the BIG BANG competition results announced by Blast the day before yesterday, the BAC Game, a chain game that was once highly praised by Ultiverse, was more than 3,000 ETH. One of 47 Winners selected from projects. At the time of writing, Ultiverse's Discord community has 320,000 members.

How to experience the AI ​​x metaverse experience created by Ulti-Pilot and get points and SOUL? Is there any other way to get more $ULTC? How is Ultiverse developing after nearly two years of construction? The BlockBeats author experienced the interactive process of Ulti-Pilot and visited early Ultiverse community players.

What is the relationship between Ultiverse and Ulti-Pilot?

Get SOUL and Pilot points at 0 cost

Ulti-Pilot is positioned as a portal for users to immerse themselves in diverse gaming experiences in the Ultiverse. Ulti-Pilot uses AI to create randomness in the game to enhance players’ gaming experience: With the power of AI, users can gradually shape their own virtual world, ultimately partnering with Ultiverse to create immersive experiences similar to those found in cinematic masterpieces such as Ready Player One, Free Guy and Westworld.

Starting last week, you can get SOUL rewards and Pilot points by joining Ulti-Pilot, creating a character and completing tasks (points are used to increase the chance of obtaining SOUL). Currently, you need to enter an invitation code to experience Ulti-Pilot. There are two types of invitation codes, including Pilot Code and Invite code. The difference is that after registering with Pilot Code, 5 Invite codes can be generated, while after registering with Invite code, you need to enter Ulti-Pilot. Invitation codes can only be generated after the first week of Pilot's launch (February 27).

According to the team, the invitation code for Invite code will be opened on February 27th, and the "hard-to-find" situation will be greatly improved. The invitation codes that each account can obtain are divided into 4 levels according to Pilot points, and 5, 10, 20 and unlimited invitation codes can be obtained respectively. Inviting others will be rewarded with Pilot points, including 16% of the Pilot points owned by the first-level inviter and 8% of the Pilot points owned by the second-level inviter .

Enter the official website https://pilot.ultiverse.io/ , enter the invitation code and bind Twitter + wallet. It should be noted that if you have done other tasks in Ultiverse before, bind the account to the Twitter when you registered the account before. , the binding conditions of the wallet and Discord are consistent, otherwise they cannot be bound.

In Ulti-Pilot, creating a character requires taking the "Finding Your Path" personality test. The four personality test questions are "Sensitive/Free/Curious", "Practical/Social Talent/Independent", "Responsible/Open-minded/Humorous", and "Practical/Suspicious/Selfless". After completing the test questions , the game will give suitable roles based on the selected answers, including government factions/corporate factions, etc.

After completing the test, click CONFIRM to mint the player character. In the process, OPBNB is required as gas fee, and the cost is less than 0.1 US dollars.

Once you've created your game character, it's time to explore Ulti-Pilot. Ulti-Pilot is designed to allow users to experience the experience of co-creating a virtual world with Ultiverse's AI, so the interactions that can be performed also revolve around "exploration."

Click "Explore" to view all scenes in the world. Players can send agents to explore different scenes every day to earn rewards and unlock achievements. There are currently 5 worlds to explore: Terminus, Moonlight, Metamerge, cyber8ball and BAC.

When exploring, players can choose a single world or explore multiple worlds simultaneously. In addition to exploring the main world of Teminus for free, players need to pay a certain amount of SOUL to interact on-chain in each game world. The exploration tasks are reset every 24 hours. After the exploration is completed, Pilot points and SOUL rewards will be automatically distributed to the player's account, and players can use the SOUL rewards obtained to explore again. The ways for players to obtain SOUL include completing tasks in the "Misson" that is updated every day in the Ulti-Pilot game, completing tasks on the Ultiverse task platform , and staking Electric Sheep.

It should be noted that the SOUL obtained for each exploration is random, and it is possible to spend SOUL on exploration and gain nothing. So in this case, there are two ways to participate. Choose to complete MISSON every day to get SOUL, and then only participate in exploration tasks that do not require SOUL to get points, so that you will not lose SOUL. Or use all SOUL for exploration missions to increase points and increase the chance of obtaining SOUL later. Judging from player feedback, the situation of obtaining SOUL varies greatly, and the probability is related to the number of points, whether you have Electric Sheep, etc.

Ulti-Pilot's worldview

After one operation, in addition to knowing how to earn Pilot points and SOUL, early players who are not in the Ultiverse community may be a little confused. After all, I haven’t seen common game combat mechanisms such as pvp, and I don’t know how to make money in the game. So, what went into the game design of Ulti-Pilot?

Ulti-Pilot is currently more like a portal based on games, allowing users to experience the imaginative space created by the collision of AIx Metaverse xWeb3, paving the way for the future development of Ultiverse.

From the initial character creation process, it can be felt that Ulti-Pilot hopes to create a unique personalized AI agent through the user's "self-discovery" process, allowing users to explore the micro-world based on their own personality in the game (that is, in the Ultiverse ecosystem dApps launched in the system).

After entering the game, you will first read Ulti-Pilot's "World Story" to learn about the historical worldview of Ultiverse. Since its launch, World Story has been updated every day. As the overall event line develops, each user's independent exploration process will also produce a diary, which contains important events, characters encountered and items obtained. Users will be able to create their own virtual world by integrating text, images, videos, AI NPCs, AI-generated maps and other elements through Ulti-Pilot.

In addition, each user has a role, and the system will randomly select at least three users to participate in "World Story" every day, allowing them to immerse themselves in the development of the historical worldview of Ultiverse and have the opportunity to win SOUL rewards.

The five worlds that users explore in Ulti-Pilot actually correspond to Ultiverse's ecological projects or partners. They are the integrated game portal Terminus, the virtual girlfriend Moonlight, the AIGC pet game Metamerge, the Cyberpunk-themed PvP pool game Cyber8Ball, and the game BAC Games that won the Blast Big Bang championship.

Through a symbiotic relationship between artificial intelligence and its users, each microworld develops its own unique worldview, while remaining crucially connected to the overall storyline of the Ultiverse. This integrated approach, powered by artificial intelligence and community-driven narrative, enhances interoperability between micro-worlds.

According to the team, the diary feature is just the first step toward realizing an autonomous world. Ultiverse will later plan to launch an artificial intelligence-driven virtual world that is tailored to the worldview of each microworld and allows users to interact with NPCs.

After two years of planning, Ultiverse wants to be the first MetaFi

In Ulti-Pilot, in addition to SOUL and Pilot points, the achievements users obtain also include props and assets from other games in the Ultiverse ecosystem. What are these assets used for? Although the team has not announced specific information, it can be understood from the ecological layout of Ultiverse.

It is understood that Ultiverse core team members have participated in the development of famous games such as "Rings of the Ancients", "Prince of Persia", and "Assassin's Creed". In 2022, Ultiverse received a US$4.5 million seed round of financing co-led by Binance Labs and Defiance Capital, with participation from Three Arrows Capital and SkyVision Capital, and later received an additional US$5 million in equity investment from Binance Labs.

Big Universe Player, an early community member of the Ultiverse ecosystem, told BlockBeats, "I started paying attention to Ultiverse when Binance added equity investment, and participated in the mint that created the NFT Electric Sheep." In the past two years, Ultiverse's layout has been very pragmatic. On the one hand, Ultiverse expands game partners based on its mission platform Mission Runner (Electric Sheep holders can enjoy airdrop incentives from Ultiverse partners). Big Universe players have learned about and deeply experienced Meta Merge through Ultiverse, a game that combines AIGC Technical pet chain tour.

On the other hand, on the basis of maintaining ecological operation and user activity, Ultiverse continues to layout its metaverse ecosystem and has successively released two NFT assets, Electric Sheep and MoonLight. In addition to being airdropped by partners, these assets are also available in Ultiverse’s Play an important role in the world view of the metaverse.

The relationship between Ultiverse and its ecological partners initially manifested itself as Ultiverse helping these games with marketing communications and attracting Ultiverse users through airdrop incentives. But Ultiverse is not just a one-stop platform for games, but hopes to use Web3, AI and VR technologies to create a MetaFi platform in which each game represents a miniature world. To this end, Ultiverse created the Bodhi protocol to connect these microscopic worlds in a generative artificial intelligence way.

Ulti-Pilot is the entrance to this MetaFi, which not only serves gamers, but also serves each microworld itself. As shown in the figure below, the player's DID is a representative of the player's transfer between different micro-worlds, carrying information such as his role, abilities, history, and interpersonal relationships. In another scenario, a game studio designing a microworld could also build a pilot to communicate with other microworlds and broadcast/exchange information.

Therefore, Ulti-Pilot plays a vital role in the Ultiverse ecosystem as a bridge between players and the micro world in the Bodhi protocol. The airdrop amount of Ulti-Pilot this time accounts for 1/8 of the Ultiverse airdrop share.

On February 14 this year, Ultiverse once again completed a strategic round of financing of US$4 million. The lineup of investors in this round is also very impressive, led by IDG Capital, Animoca Brands, Polygon Ventures, MorningStar Ventures, Taiko, ZetaChain, Manta Network, DWF Ventures As well as Jacob KO (Superscrypt partner), FreeLunchCapital (Floor Protocol founder) and others participated in the investment. After this financing, Ultiverse's financing will reach US$150 million.

It can be seen that Ultiverse has a very ambitious vision and has made many explorations in the direction of MetaFi. However, so far, the AI ​​metaverse concept on Ulti-Pilot has been conveyed to the user terminal, which is only reflected in the generation of text and pictures in daily stories; the interaction with its ecological partner Dapps "micro world" is only such as following Twitter, Join interactive tasks such as Discord. How Ultiverse's MetaFi concept will be implemented remains to be seen by time.
