In this article, we explore what Wayfinder is, the role it plays in transforming gameplay in the Parallel TCG ecosystem and the utility of its native token, PROMPT.

 (DeFi) are opening new avenues for both traders and gamers. 

 (PROMPT) is one such protocol that leverages autonomous 

, known as "Wayfinder Shells," to navigate across multiple blockchains. 

With the power to execute complex tasks like swapping tokens, deploying 

 and even minting NFTs using simple natural language commands, Wayfinder paves the way for seamless blockchain tasks across multiple chains. In this article, we dive into what Wayfinder is to look at its key features, the role it plays in transforming gameplay in the 

 ecosystem and the utility of its native token, PROMPT.

Imagine commanding an AI to handle all your cryptocurrency tasks — swapping tokens, deploying smart contracts or executing sophisticated DeFi strategies — with just a few simple instructions. Wayfinder aims to make that vision a reality. 

This omni-chain AI protocol lets users control autonomous AI agents, referred to as Wayfinder Shells, that travel across blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana and Base to perform tasks ranging from asset transfers to NFT minting and advanced DeFi strategies. With its user-friendly natural language interface, the platform eliminates the need for complex coding, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced developers.

Wayfinder is the brainchild of the team behind 

, a blockchain-based sci-fi trading card game that uses immersive storytelling to drive fan engagement. Its developers saw an opportunity to enrich gameplay in their upcoming title, 

, a survival simulation game featuring autonomous AI avatars. 

By integrating AI agents into their game, they aim to create dynamic, interactive experiences that adapt to player actions. One key figure is 

 (known as @templecrash on X), the founder of Parallel and Wayfinder, whose vision for blending digital gaming with sophisticated AI has been instrumental in shaping the protocol.

Wayfinder operates by employing “Wayfinding Paths,” which are predefined workflows designed to guide its AI agents across various blockchains. When a user issues a command, these paths are triggered, allowing the Wayfinder Shell to execute specific tasks, such as transferring assets, minting NFTs or deploying smart contracts. Each agent comes with a dedicated 

, ensuring the secure management of assets during transactions. 

Additionally, a community-driven knowledge graph continually feeds new information into the system, enhancing the agents’ ability to learn and optimize operations over time.

Wayfinder’s omni-chain compatibility means it can seamlessly interact with a broad range of blockchain networks, making cross-chain operations nearly effortless. Use cases for Wayfinder extend beyond DeFi and gaming, and include applications in smart contract deployment and digital asset management, all controlled via natural language commands. This level of automation and interoperability simplifies complex processes and allows users to focus on strategy, rather than technical details.

The PROMPT token is at the heart of the Wayfinder ecosystem. Serving as both a 

, PROMPT is used to create and upgrade Wayfinder Shells, stake for proposing new Wayfinding Paths and pay gas fees within the network. The token also empowers community governance by allowing stakeholders to participate in decision-making, influencing future developments and technical upgrades. 

, allocating 45% of its total supply of 1 billion tokens to community members who have staked Parallel’s PRIME token or completed other tasks.

Wayfinder represents a significant leap forward in combining AI with blockchain, offering users an intuitive platform to execute complex tasks through simple commands. The project not only empowers innovative gameplay with titles such as 

 but also drives efficiency across the crypto ecosystem. Bybit

Discover BlackRock’s BUIDL, a tokenized money market fund issuing a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries and offering daily dividend payouts.

 (RWAs) are one of the fastest-growing niches in the crypto world. RWAs allow institutional entities to bring various 

 (TradFi) assets to an on-chain environment. These may include commodities, equities, bonds, cash equivalents and more. According to DefiLlama, the 

 as of early April 2025, and a clear leader of this niche has emerged by now in the form of BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund, BUIDL.

Launched in March 2024 by the world’s top asset manager, BUIDL has already amassed a TVL 

 as of the time of this writing (Apr 15, 2025). In this article, we’ll take a closer look at this category leader launched by BlackRock via Securitize, a major provider of RWA tokenization services.

 (BUIDL) is a tokenized money market fund launched in March 2024 by BlackRock, Inc., the world’s largest investment management firm by assets under management (AUM).

 The New York–based behemoth of the investment finance world launched the fund via Securitize, one of the leading providers of asset tokenization.

BUIDL invests in short-term cash and cash equivalent assets, such as Treasury bills, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. It may suit investors who’d like to use their spare cash for low-risk and quick — even if modest — returns.

BUIDL was initially launched on the Ethereum blockchain. By the end of 2024, it had expanded to several more chains, including 

 (POL). A year after its launch, in March 2025, the fund also added 

As of Apr 15, 2025, BUIDL has accumulated a TVL of around $2.37 billion, making it the largest asset in the RWA category as defined by the DefiLlama portal. This figure represents nearly 20% of the category’s total TVL of $11 billion.

BUIDL was tokenized and launched as a USD-pegged 

. Investment in the fund delivers daily accrued dividends. As such, BUIDL operates as a yield-bearing stablecoin. Besides providing rate stability, these stablecoins regularly accumulate rewards for investors. The rewards, however, aren't added to each unit of BUIDL held, as the stablecoin itself has a fixed rate of $1 at all times. The accrued dividends are paid out separately in BUIDL tokens to investors every month.

Unlike many other stablecoins, BUIDL isn't traded on the crypto market. In essence, it acts as a certificate of your investment in the fund.

Investing in BUIDL is possible exclusively via Securitize. The minimum investment amount is $5 million, and the fund is open to Qualified Purchasers. Under US securities law, Qualified Purchasers are entities, such as individuals and family offices, who have at least $5 million in investments.

BUIDL boasts a number of significant benefits, including the following:

Despite its numerous merits, investment in the BUIDL fund carries certain risks:

For high–net worth individuals and institutional investors, BUIDL represents a great alternative to traditional money market funds. Its blockchain-native nature will certainly appeal to any investor who'd like to keep their assets on-chain while enjoying the security and regular yields provided by the investment titan BlackRock.

As the niche of tokenized treasuries gains momentum, we may see similar products launched by major TradFi players. For now, BUIDL represents one of the rare options for tokenized money market fund investors, and its niche-leading TVL confirms that the market has enthusiastically embraced this novel product.

If you're into crypto, you may well have heard of hard forks. But what are they, and are they important? In this piece, we'll discuss what hard forks are and more.

, you may well have heard of hard forks. But what are they, and are they important? In this piece, we’ll discuss what hard forks are, why they happen, the difference between hard forks and soft forks, and why they are an important part of the 

Additionally, we’ll also discuss some examples of hard forks that have happened, such as 

 splits a blockchain into two, with a change in the blockchain’s code meaning there are now two versions.

A hard fork creates two versions of the blockchain which are not compatible with each other. This means that nodes running on the new version of the blockchain will not recognize transactions being made on the old version, and vice-versa. All nodes on the blockchain must agree to the change for the hard fork to happen.

Generally, blockchain hard forks occur as a way to meet the needs of the community using/

 a particular cryptocurrency. They may be necessary because of faults on the older version of the software, to add new functionalities, or because of disagreements among the cryptocurrency’s community over the direction that the cryptocurrency is headed.

Indeed, at the time of writing, many in the world of crypto are looking forward to the long-awaited 

hard fork, which is set to deliver several upgrades to Ethereum 2.0, such as giving nodes the capability to run on mobile devices.

On the other hand, hard forks can also be a part of the promotion campaign to attract attention to a new cryptocurrency. For example, everyone who owned Bitcoin in October 2017, were eligible to bag the same amount in Bitcoin Gold in the way of an 

. This was to mark the Bitcoin Gold hard fork.

A hard fork can occur in any blockchain, not only in the Bitcoin network or on Ethereum, for instance, as was the case with the 

There are actually various reasons that hard forks can happen, aside from the reasons mentioned above.

Another reason a hard fork occurs is to refund users if a security breach or hack happens on a blockchain network. In such an occurrence, transactions made from a specified date by attackers are no longer valid. This happens because normally developers quickly fix newly-exploited vulnerabilities after the hack. 

 project was actually the reason why Ethereum Classic hard-forked — we’ll discuss in detail later.

In a popular protocol such as Bitcoin, various coders from all over the world work on its improvements constantly by proposing specific upgrades. In the case of Bitcoin, there’s a whole 

 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposals). As for Ethereum, there is a 

A good example of what’s going on during these forks 

 in 2019 by Ethereum’s founder Vitalik Buterin himself: “

Over the course of the next one to two years, we’re going to be on this interesting journey together of taking the Ethereum ecosystem and upgrading it to a new and more secure … on top of it, so things coming soon, more developments to rollup, more developments to scaling technology, improvements to security, including wallets, including clients, including a lot of things, improvements to usability, improvements to privacy

Moving on to the next part of the discussion, let’s take a look at the difference between hard forks and soft forks now, but first – what are soft forks?

 is a software upgrade that is backwards compatible with older versions of the blockchain. This means that those miners who haven’t yet upgraded to the later version of the software are still able to participate in validating and verifying transactions.

It is much easier to implement a soft fork than a hard fork as only a majority of miners need to upgrade.

Keep in mind, however, that a miner who hasn’t upgraded yet will be affected by the soft fork anyway. 

Say, you produce a 1 megabyte block as a non-upgraded miner. You’re still able to validate incoming transactions. However, the update allows only for 8 megabyte blocks to be added to the ecosystem, so you can’t add your blocks – sorry.  

With that in mind, you can say that soft forks act as an incentive for miners to upgrade their software, or face being hindered in their functionalities.

In general, three possible case scenarios are most likely to happen when a community decides to hard-fork:

 are supported by very small groups of mining pools these days, whereas good old 

“, as Shania Twain would sing – it’s the king of cryptos amongst the crypto community and beyond.

OK, no really good examples here, yet, a moderately appropriate example is Roger Ver’s 

, the blockchain that implemented an increased block size of 8 MB in 2017 (and a 32 MB block size in 2018). Now the digital asset on top of this platform, 

, is comfortably inside the top 20 cryptocurrencies by 

, and so it’s fair to say that it has been a success in its own right.

Of course, BCH is not Bitcoin in terms of the price but look at the other hard forks that we mentioned here – they’re selling for under a dollar!

Now, this is where the example of Ethereum Classic is fitting, so let’s look at it in more detail.

In April 2016, a digital decentralized autonomous organization, DAO, was installed on the Ethereum blockchain in order to create a form of investor-directed venture capital fund. 

In July 2016, hackers exploited a vulnerability in the DAO code , stealing $50 million worth of ETH. As a result, the Ethereum blockchain was hard-forked at block 1,920,000 to restore all the funds of those who had suffered losses in the hack. This was controversial and led to maintaining the original unforked blockchain as Ethereum Classic (ETC), thus breaking the network into two separate active blockchains, each with its own cryptocurrency. 

Without any doubt, Ethereum is the dominant force here. Ethereum is by some distance the 2nd biggest cryptocurrency by 

, while at the time of writing, Ethereum Classic doesn’t even make the top 50.

Talking about dominance – as we all know and have already mentioned, Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency out there.

Over recent times, the interest towards ‘digital gold’ has been only growing. As a result, so has interest towards its history, including its hard forks.

Let’s briefly look at the history of Bitcoin hard forks:

So, how many Bitcoin improvement proposals, do you think, have been already made over the past decade? 

The answer is a lot. 350 to be exact, but not all of them made it to hard forks, of course.

However the night is young, blockchain is a teenage technology 

, and we’ll no doubt see a lot more hard forks in the future.

So, in essence, a hard fork is a far-reaching change of the blockchain that requires all the nodes running in the distributed network to move to the newer version (that supports readjusted functionality). 

On the other hand, a soft fork is a software upgrade that is backwards compatible with older versions of the blockchain. This means that those miners who haven’t yet upgraded to the later version of the software are still able to participate in validating and verifying transactions (although they are incentivized to upgrade).

Hard forks and soft forks are important in the context of network development. They allow the community to make sufficient changes and upgrades despite the lack of centralized governance.

Thanks to hard forks, blockchains and cryptocurrencies integrate new features and improvements as they’re developed. Without those, the ecosystem would have needed a centralized server to control everything that’s happening in the network. Luckily, we’re not stuck with the centralized servers — but we’re definitely stuck with hard forks.
