Ronin, a blockchain designed for Web3 gaming, has partnered with Virtuals Protocol to incorporate an artificial intelligence (AI) agent into its platform.

Blockchain Collaboration Brings JAIHOZ Token to Ronin and Base
Virtuals Protocol, a platform merging artificial intelligence (AI) with decentralized frameworks, claims to simplify the creation and deployment of AI agents. These agents, which operate onchain or in digital environments, are said to fulfill roles as social media figures, onchain traders, or in-game non-playable characters (NPCs).
The collaboration’s flagship product is Jaihoz, an AI agent modeled after Jeffrey Zirlin, co-founder of Sky Mavis, the studio behind Axie Infinity. Virtuals reportedly designed Jaihoz to echo aspects of Zirlin’s online presence, albeit with added autonomy and personality. While Jaihoz is active on social media and intends to interact with users on Ronin’s platform, it is uncertain how impactful or beneficial these interactions will prove. These agents have been growing fiercely in popularity over the last few weeks.

JAIHOZ tokenomics according to the Ronin announcement.
Central to this venture is the $JAIHOZ token, a digital asset distributed across the Ronin and Base blockchains. With a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, $JAIHOZ is positioned as a crucial element of the collaboration. To spur interest, over 100,000 wallets, including those linked to Ronin and Virtuals communities, received an airdrop.
Eligibility for the airdrop hinged on specific snapshot dates. Recipients include holders of designated non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as Cyberkongz Genkai and Moki Genesis, alongside Ronin stakers and guild participants. While this distribution attempts to integrate these groups into the AI agent initiative, its broader implications of distribution effectiveness are not yet clear.
This partnership is framed as part of Ronin’s effort to broaden its blockchain’s use cases by early 2025. While Ronin expresses aspirations to move beyond gaming and attract innovative blockchain projects, the actual outcomes of this strategy remain speculative. Virtuals Protocol’s focus on AI agents is touted as a key element of this vision, but whether it fulfills the lofty expectations many see in crypto AI agents is yet to be determined.
