Altered State Machine (ASM) is a decentralized protocol for Non-Fungible Intelligence (NFI) that allows users and developers to create, own, trade, and train AI agents via NFTs. These AI agents, called ASM AI Agents, consist of two NFTs: a Brain NFT and a Form. The Brain NFT contains a unique Genome Matrix that determines the abilities of the AI agent, while the Form NFT is an optional visual or auditory representation of the agent. ASM enables the creation, competition, and interaction with AI agents in various domains such as gaming, finance, and multimedia experiences. AIFA (Artificial Intelligence Football Association) is the first use-case for ASM, where AI agents compete in a play-to-earn game. The native utility token for the ASM ecosystem is called Altered State Token (ASTO), which is used for accessing the network, creating and training agents, participating in events, and more. ASTO holders can join the ElderDAO, a community-led DAO that guides the future of ASM and manages the ecosystem. The founders of Altered State Machine are David McDonald, Aaron McDonald, Hal Smith Stevens, and Phil Williams. ASTO can be obtained through airdrops, auctions, and by participating in the AIFA game.
