aNFTs (autonomous NFTs) are non-fungible tokens that can be programmed to initiate their own transactions.

What Is an aNFT (Autonomous NFT)?

aNFTs are are non-fungible tokens that are capable of proactively initiating interactions with Web3 users and network protocols without being prompted. As a result, they enable a near-limitless array of complex, open-ended interactions that can be adapted to many Web3 use cases.

After an aNFT is set up with a single initial transaction, it is essentially self-contained and does not rely on humans to do anything. It functions using incentivized networks (i.e. of bots), to ensure that actions are triggered when the conditions are met.

aNFTs can be programmed to, on their own:

  • Transfer assets (including themselves)

  • Be non-player characters (NPCs) in crypto games

  • Trade/make purchases

  • Lend/borrow

  • Vote and send messages

  • Play with or against you in a game

  • Perform off-chain actions based on off-chain events

  • Upgrade their own logic

aNFTs enable more engaging gameplay as NPCs. These NPCs can act as friendly merchants or as enemies you can play with or against in a game. When playing against an NPC, you’re technically fighting a smart contract directly. In traditional games, fighting NPCs is called player-vs-environment (PvE). In Web3, the “environment” is the blockchain itself, causing gaming to shift from being PvE to being player-vs-blockchain (PvB).
