 (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

 (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.

Songbird is the canary network for the Flare blockchain, a smart contract platform designed to enhance cross-chain interoperability/

top-crypto-market-cap.png

Cross-chain interoperability remains a challenge for the wider adoption of blockchain technology. By default, blockchains are self-contained environments that have limited points of contact with the outside world. Many projects have been launched in recent years to improve blockchains’ ability to communicate with each other. One of the upcoming projects in this domain is 

 (FLR). This new blockchain takes pretesting seriously, with a test chain, Songbird (SGB), at the core of its launch activities.

In blockchain, a canary network is a pretesting environment used to safely test features and functions to be implemented. A canary network is a proper chain of its own, and emulates most or all the features of the main blockchain it’s designed to test. It has exactly the same network architecture as the main chain.

Canary networks are usually different from 

 chains, used in pretesting a final blockchain, (the mainnet). Testnets nearly always have the same native coin as their mainnets, while canary networks feature a different cryptocurrency. Additionally, crypto coins and tokens on a testnet have no monetary value, and can be freely spent. In contrast, canary networks feature proper coins and tokens with some market value. The coin and token balances on a canary network cannot be freely replenished.

As such, a canary network might be considered a more advanced network type than a testnet. In some cases, canary networks continue to operate for years alongside their main chain, and might even develop defined ecosystems of their own.

Songbird is the canary network for the Flare blockchain, a 

 platform designed to enhance cross-chain interoperability that’s compatible with the 

 (EVM), opening up opportunities for interaction with a large number of modern blockchains.

Originally, Flare was conceptualized to help improve compatibility between the 

 and other popular public blockchains. The XRP Ledger is the enterprise-oriented blockchain of leading crypto financial network 

, whose coin, XRP, is the 7th largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

Top 7 Cryptocurrencies by Market Cap as of November 21, 2022

By connecting the XRP Ledger to other prominent blockchains, Flare can help markedly improve the business world’s overall adoption of blockchain technology.

As of November 2022, Flare is in “observation mode,” with its beta version expected to be launched shortly.

’s (DOT) thorough adoption of pretesting via its own canary network, 

 (KSM), the developers of Flare are using Songbird as a testing network to implement all the key features of Flare: Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO), State Connector and F-Assets. This means that Songbird would always be a step ahead of Flare in terms of technological innovations, albeit with the added risk of instability.

 that feeds external price-pair data into Flare’s blockchain. 

 is a Flare functionality to securely pass off-chain data on the network. 

 are special assets designed to enable smart contract functionality on Flare using cryptocurrencies that don’t normally support such a feature. Examples of these cryptocurrencies would be XRP, as well as popular coins based on the 

 (PoW) consensus protocol such as Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Litecoin (LTC).

SGB is Songbird’s native crypto coin. One of its key functions is governance. SGB is crucial for testing governance-led functionalities of the Flare ecosystem. Flare governance proposals may 

 — the Flare Foundation (a Netherlands-based nonprofit in charge of the project), and the user community. If a proposal comes from the Foundation, it’s voted on directly on the Flare network.

However, if the user community submits a proposal, it first has to go through the voting process on Songbird, with SGB coin holders making a decision. If the vote is successful, the proposal will move to the next stage, voting and consideration on Flare. Changes proposed by the user community via voting on Songbird concern the actual Flare blockchain, not Songbird directly. If the changes are implemented on Flare, they’ll be duplicated on Songbird for testing purposes.

Besides governance, SGB can also be used within the key apps and services on Songbird — FTSO, State Connector and F-Asset systems — as a testing ground. This way, users who wish to use Flare network can first try out the services without risking their FLR coins while earning SGB coins. For example, oracle data providers in FTSO earn rewards for their activity. SGB holders may also delegate coins to their chosen data providers to improve their voting power, and to earn a share of the rewards paid to them.

In September 2021, SGB started with a supply of 15 billion at an annual inflation of 10%. There are now 16.7 billion coins, 8.7 billion of which are in circulation. The coin has been airdropped to XRP holders via various exchanges at a rate of 0.1511 SGB:1 XRP.

SGB initially traded at around $0.31. In its first three months, its value fluctuated between $0.35 and $0.65. In late 2021, a long-term downward trend began, carrying it to $0.02 by May 2022 and around $0.01 by October. SGB has been relatively stable since then, trading at $0.013 as of November 21, 2022.

 that SGB’s price will reach $0.036 by 2025 and $0.043 by 2027. 

, expecting it to trade at $0.041 by 2025 and $0.085 by 2027. Thus, leading forecasters predict a slow, modest long-term growth pattern for SGB.

Our view is that SGB does have potential for modest-to-good growth. Its network acts as a testing environment for a project that has great potential to bring enterprise-focused XRP to the wider blockchain ecosystem. Its useful functionality to enable smart contract operations for mineable cryptos — BTC, LTC and DOGE — may also provide further support to SGB.

However, the testing/canary nature of Songbird may act as a risk factor for SGB’s growth potential. Canary networks do function as full blockchains for years on end. However, if Songbird is largely deprioritized when Flare is in full operation, SGB’s growth potential would then be curtailed.

Songbird’s fate will largely depend on what kind of canary network it develops into over time. It might fade into obscurity when advanced testing is completed, and the Flare ecosystem is in full swing. However, as with Kusama/Polkadot, Songbird might continue to flourish and develop its own unique and rich ecosystem, independent of Flare. If Flare’s project team keeps an eye on the Kusama/Polkadot environment, they might see the benefits of actively supporting Songbird as its own long-term network.
