Matrix.One, the pioneering decentralized protocol behind the evolution of human-like AI characters, proudly announces that its premier offering, Avatar.One, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 120,000 active monthly users globally. Since its launch earlier this year, Avatar.One has captivated users, with many spending over three hours engaging with their personalized AI companions. Built on the Solana blockchain, and boasting over 100,000 connected Solana wallets, Avatar.One offers an innovative solution to the growing loneliness epidemic by enabling users to create their ideal 3D AI companions.

With Avatar.One’s cutting-edge avatar maker, users can craft AI companions tailored to their preferences, selecting from a vast array of personality traits and even equipping them with an AI-generated voice. These companions provide unfiltered interactions, allowing users to chat, flirt, exchange selfies and videos, and build meaningful memories together. The AI characters evolve over time, with users able to further personalize their companions by adding memories that shape their personalities.

The issue of loneliness has reached alarming levels globally. Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified loneliness as a "global public health concern" comparable to the effects of smoking 15 cigarettes daily. Among older adults, loneliness is linked to a 50% higher risk of dementia and a 30% increased risk of stroke.

Recent research underscores the severity of the loneliness epidemic among younger demographics as well. A Harvard University survey found that 61% of Americans aged 18-24 report severe loneliness. Another Harvard study conducted this year revealed that interactions with AI companions can significantly reduce feelings of loneliness, on par with human interactions. Additionally, studies have shown that AI companions can support the development of social and emotional skills.

Mark Studholme, Co-Founder of Avatar.One and Matrix.One, shared his vision for the future, stating,

“I see a world where everyone can have an AI companion that they’ve personally defined. These companions can assist with daily tasks, whether it’s reminding you of your mom’s birthday, keeping you company while watching Netflix, or even helping you file your taxes.”

The rise of AI technology presents a promising solution to the loneliness epidemic, offering the possibility of a future where everyone has access to a full-time 3D companion. These AI companions can provide conversation, offer advice on a range of topics, remind users of important events, assist with financial management, and more. As AI models continue to advance, the quality of interactions with these companions is steadily improving, becoming more and more lifelike.

Avatar.One is powered by Matrix.One’s decentralized protocol, which features a character studio, avatar maker, and a vast library of language models. This technology allows 3D AI characters to be seamlessly integrated with game engines like Unreal, Unity, and Three.js. These fully animated AI characters can be deployed across multiple platforms, including web, mobile, VR, AR, and more. Additionally, users can download their avatars for use in over 200 games and applications.

User safety and privacy are top priorities for Avatar.One. All interactions and user data are stored securely in an encrypted database, protected by SSH, and kept strictly confidential. The platform also employs passwordless authentication to safeguard user credentials.

This impressive user growth comes as Matrix.One gears up for its upcoming token generation event (TGE) on Polkastarter, Seedify, and ChainGPT, ahead of the $MATRIX token’s listing on centralized exchanges. The $MATRIX token will enable participation and transactions within the Matrix.One network, giving users access to AI characters and offering governance rights to token holders.

Avatar.One is open to users aged 18 and above who believe AI companions can help alleviate loneliness. The platform is also planning to introduce on-chain characters soon, allowing users to fully own their AI companions and interaction histories.
