If you need a little more food for thought to make up your mind about backing up this Solana-based 3D character creator, we have something just for you. In this blog, you will learn more about Matrix and find out our top 6 reasons for launching the Matrix One IDO on Solana. Let’s dive in!

AI Characters Turned Human

The rate of progress in the AI industry is nowhere short of impressive. Have you ever wished these NPCs were a bit more interactive and human? Matrix One promises to make them a lot more immersive; and - decentralised.

But Matrix One isn't only about creating interactive NPCs; it’s about making a real social impact amid the growing loneliness crisis. Citing after thedefiant.io:

“According to a Harvard University survey, 61% of Americans aged 18 - 24 experience severe loneliness.

Another Harvard study conducted this year suggests that interaction with AI companions reduces loneliness on par with interacting with another human.

Further studies have also revealed AI Companions can assist in social and emotional skill development.”

By crafting deeply personalised AI characters, Matrix One users aren’t just creating avatars. They are forming connections, and these connections matter. AI assistants can provide companionship, help with social and emotional skill development, and of course, assist with daily tasks like paying taxes, recommending movies, sending reminders, and much more.

🤖 AI character creation made easy
With the intuitive interface, crafting your human-like 3D characters is a breeze. Matrix One provides tools for developers and users alike to craft and customise their AI avatars. 

⚙️ Full ownership of your AI creations
Have you ever created a character that you loved and wanted to bring to various games and worlds? With Matrix One, you own your characters. This means you can move them around, customise them, sell them on-chain—basically, do whatever you decide. 

🤝 Strong network of partners
Matrix One established connections with AI and crypto industry leaders, including Microsoft Azure, IO.net, Tensor, Akash, and Solana Foundation. 

💊 Community mindset
The Neos Points Program is set to accelerate community engagement around AI character creation on Matrix One. By completing tasks, you earn Neo points and can partake in important events such as the upcoming $MATRIX token airdrop. Matrix is also launching with a low FDV, which favours community participation. 

And that’s not all… After this short introduction, let’s get to our 6 core reasons for launching Matrix One. 👇

6 Reasons Why We Launch Matrix One IDO

1. Favorable IDO conditions:
Matrix is launching at a low FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) of $16M. This makes it a good entry point for the community, allowing for further price discovery in the open market. We wrote about the importance of realistic FDVs here. 

2. Matrix One lowers the barrier of entry for 3D AI character creation: 
There are two keywords here: no-code tools and accessibility. Even without technical expertise, you can develop your own human-like AI character. It’s just that easy. 

3. Fair value distribution:
Matrix One is building a fair and transparent economy, where creators are rewarded for their contributions. The value generated from AI characters is shared equitably, motivating creators to innovate. Users aren’t left outside of the reward system either. Matrix One engages users and ensures the ecosystem provides opportunities for them to benefit via initiatives like the Neos Points Program. 

The $MATRIX token is the ecosystem token that enables rewards, governance and marketplace purchases. Its role is to transfer value within Matrix One’s collaborative ecosystem of contributors (character creators, app users, and developers alike).

4. Advanced AI capabilities:
Matrix One provides a comprehensive API and advanced UI. Your 3D characters can benefit from multimodal perception capabilities. Creators can tailor their characters' backstories, personalities, and knowledge bases. It’s an unpaired level of customisation and flexibility - all to enrich the user experience and make it as human-like as possible. Matrix One = immersiveness, interactivity, and emotional resonance.

5. Leading AI development on Solana:
Matrix One is the first decentralised protocol focused on developing human-like AI characters on Solana. It’s the first-mover advantage, allowing Matrix One to tap into the emerging and unsaturated market on the popular and continuously growing blockchain.  

6. Extensive toolkit for creators and users:
Key offerings of Matrix One product include:

• Character Studio: Craft characters with human-like traits, AI-generated voice customisation, and behavioural mechanics. Make your character unique, and truly yours. 
• Avatar Visualiser: 3D Avatars and scenes for developers and end-users. You can customise features without prerequisite coding experience.
• Model Index: Thousands of LLMs are available for app-devs to uniquely tailor the characters. You won’t be stuck with one model only. 
• Marketplace: Love creating characters for others? At Character.one, you can sell the avatars you’re crafting on-chain.
