MyShell is a decentralized AI consumer layer that allows developers to build rich types of AI. Its ecosystem includes bots such as OpenVoice, an instant voice cloning program; MeloTTS, a multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) library, and more.

Myshell has been in public beta for over a year, with a total financing amount of US$16.6 million. It recently launched its premium NFT MySoul. Odaily Planet Daily will explain how to obtain the NFT and other interactive processes in this article.

Myshell Introduction

Function Introduction

Myshell allows ordinary users or professional developers to create various AIs, such as dialogue, translation, mapping, text adventure, code writing, and other types, and supports giving AI different personalities and dialogue styles.

In terms of creation, Myshell provides developers with various components, enabling users to build an AI robot in minutes, and allows users to describe AI features using natural language. Myshell's Auto-OC tool will write AI setting prompts for users.

In addition, Myshell supports voice cloning, which can clone the same voice based on a few seconds of audio, and supports multiple languages ​​​​including English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, etc.

Financing

Myshell has completed two rounds of financing, namely:

In October 2023, MyShell announced that it had completed a seed round of financing of US$5.6 million at a valuation of US$57 million. This round of financing was led by INCE Capital, with participation from Hashkey Capital, Folius Ventures, SevenX Ventures, OP Crypto, etc.

In March 2024, MyShell announced the completion of US$11 million in Pre-A financing, led by Dragonfly, with participation from Delphi Ventures, Bankless Ventures, Maven 11 Capital, Nascent, Foresight Ventures, GSR, Animoca Ventures, Nomad Capital and OKX Ventures.

Premium NFT MySoul

On May 15, Myshell announced the launch of the premium NFT MySoul. According to the official post, MySoul is not just another "NFT". It is closely connected to the MyShell ecosystem and will create more value in the process of Myshell building the future. It can "enjoy pure privilege". The event will end at the end of May.

There are 3333 MySoul in total, of which 2600 are guaranteed white and 2200 are lucky white. In Phase 1, testnet users will be allocated 65%, the community will be allocated 10%, MyShell Treasury will be allocated 15%, and NFT Launchpad and cooperative communities will be allocated 10%. The testnet is a way for the majority of users to directly participate, which Odaily will explain in detail in the next section.

Phase 1 Testnet

Step 1: Register an account. MyShell supports logging in with email or directly with a wallet. The difference between the different login methods lies in the asset management method. Logging in with email will generate an AA wallet, and asset management is limited to operations on the web page.

Step 2: Enter the Web3 interface. Click the lower left corner of the page to switch between Classic mode and Web3 mode. The Classic mode is a robot interaction, which can obtain MyShell Points and Shell Coins through interaction, or it will be linked to future tokens, but it will not be the focus of this article.

Step 3: Bind personal information. The current test network needs to pass the X platform (Twitter) certification to obtain test tokens, so users need to bind their account through the personal information interface first.

Step 4: Get test coins. Users can obtain testETH and Shell Token by issuing a document for certification on the X platform. In addition, Shell Token can also be exchanged through the classic mode of Shell Coins.

Step 5: Exchange tokens and earn coins. Users can exchange Shell Token for 5 other tokens, including PIC, HER, LLM, TTS and SD. There is no difference between the tokens. The exchanged tokens can be deposited into the coin earning module to earn interest.

in conclusion

According to the official announcement, users aiming to obtain the whitelist should "grind to be the top earner", and "the final reward is far more juicy than numbers, and all organic interactions will be favored." Although the specific details have not been announced, the literal meaning is that all users participating in the testnet are expected to be selected for the whitelist.

MyShell is one of the few projects that effectively combines AI and Web3, and has raised considerable funds. There is still more than a week left until the deadline, and the interactive value is high.
