Q&A from KuCoin to World3
Q: For those new to WORLD3, can you briefly introduce what WORLD3 AI is?
Fiona: WORLD3 AI is building what we call the Agent Economy — a fully decentralized ecosystem where Long-lived Expert Agents execute complex Web3 workflows autonomously for weeks or months on behalf of their human owners.
These aren't simple bots or chatbot wrappers. They are persistent, intelligent entities powered by our revolutionary three-layer architecture: Web3 World Model (deep protocol knowledge), Context Provider (intelligent context matching), and WORLD VM (Web3-native runtime environment). Imagine having expert-level assistants that never sleep — one monitoring DeFi strategies with sophisticated market analysis, another managing complex DAO governance participation, one executing advanced NFT trading strategies, and another creating strategic social media content with long-term planning — all autonomous, all on-chain, all under your control.
The WORLD AI Protocol is the backbone that makes this possible. It provides onchain identity, permission systems, and verifiable action history for every agent. On top of that, we've built Skill Plugins, which are like "apps" you can install to give your agents new capabilities instantly.
We've showcased this vision in our recent 4-minute demo film (watch here), which demonstrates three real scenarios: a newcomer using Gaming Agents for automated P2E, an investor deploying Trading Agents for cross-chain DeFi strategies, and a builder launching an entire project through coordinated agent teamwork. This isn't conceptual—it's our agents in action.
The success of our Pre-TGE Campaign, where early adopters earned Lumens, and our subsequent Binance Alpha Campaign have both validated strong market demand for this level of Web3 automation.
Q: What makes WORLD3 agents different from traditional bots or AI tools?
Fiona: There are three fundamental differences that set us apart:
Web3-Native Intelligence Architecture – While traditional bots react to commands and Web2 agents lack Web3 context, WORLD3 agents operate through our three-layer breakthrough: Web3 World Model (comprehensive DeFi/NFT/DAO protocol knowledge), Context Provider (intelligent real-time context injection), and WORLD VM (persistent execution environment). This enables true "prompt to action" capabilities vs simple chatbot conversations.
Persistent Long-term Execution – Unlike session-based AI that disappears when tasks end, our Long-lived Expert Agents run continuously for weeks or months with maintained memory and strategic planning. A DeFi agent doesn't just rebalance once—it develops multi-week strategies, learns from market patterns, and adapts complex approaches over time.
Enterprise-Grade Web3 Runtime – Each agent operates in a dedicated WORLD VM with secure key management, cross-chain capabilities, and onchain action traceability. This isn't just automation—it's Web3 Intelligence at work with military-grade security and transparent accountability.
In short, we’re building a real economy for agents, not just a set of isolated tools. That’s what sets WORLD3 apart.
Q: How did the Pre-TGE Campaign perform and what's the status of Community Airdrops?
Fiona: The Pre-TGE Campaign was a massive success! We completed our Community Airdrop snapshot and the response from our community exceeded all expectations.
Campaign Achievements:
- Over 300,000 participants joined our TGE airdrop campaign, with exceptionally high active user engagement
- 100,000+ AI agents deployed and running autonomously
- 1.1M+ tasks executed with advanced hierarchical planning
- 170,000+ tweets generated by social media agents, demonstrating real-world utility at scale
- 2.8 million on-chain transactions showing massive blockchain activity
- Thousands of real agent creation examples from community members across diverse use cases
Airdrop Status:
Anyone who held 100+ Lumens or any PSP at the snapshot time successfully qualified for the Community Airdrop. Allocations were locked and are now claimable here. The claim page shows eligibility status, and qualified users can connect their wallets to receive their $WAI directly.
The success of our Pre-TGE Campaign created perfect momentum for our Binance Alpha Campaign, which brought our project to an even broader audience through the Binance ecosystem.
Q: How did the Binance Alpha Campaign work and what were the results?
Fiona: The Binance Alpha Campaign was our highly successful first-come, first-served airdrop program that distributed $WAI tokens to early adopters through Binance Alpha's point system. The response exceeded our expectations!
How it worked:
- Launch Strategy: We launched with a 200 Alpha Points entry requirement, creating immediate urgency and value perception.
- Dynamic Mechanics: Each claim cost 15 points for 800 $WAI tokens, with claims processed instantly to Binance accounts.
- Smart Threshold System: If supply remained after each hour, the points requirement dropped by 15 points, balancing early-bird rewards with broader accessibility.
- Confirmation Protocol: Users had 24 hours to confirm their claims, with unclaimed tokens redistributed to maintain fairness.
Campaign Results:
- High Engagement: Strong participation from Day 1, demonstrating genuine demand for $WAI.
- Efficient Distribution: The tiered entry system created organic viral sharing and community growth.
- Quality Participants: The points requirement filtered for engaged Binance Alpha users who understand Web3 innovation.
This campaign successfully bridged our Pre-TGE community with the broader Binance ecosystem, creating momentum for our post-TGE growth phase.
Q: What's the Agent Marketplace and how can KuCoin users earn there?
Fiona: The Agent Marketplace is already creating real earning opportunities! This isn't just future potential—it's happening right now. Our recent 4-minute demo film (watch here) showcased exactly how these earning scenarios work in practice.
Current Earning Opportunities:
- Gaming Agents (Live Now) – Our Crystal Cave agents are already helping users automate P2E mining 24/7, earning real rewards while you sleep. Users are generating passive income through automated gameplay strategies.
- Content Creation – Influencer Agents manage your social media growth, while DocuWriter Agents create professional reports and documents that you can monetize.
Coming Soon - Major Earning Catalysts:
- Trading Agents – Autonomous DeFi strategies, cross-chain arbitrage, and yield optimization. These agents will identify and execute profitable opportunities across multiple protocols automatically.
- Builder Agent Teams – As shown in our demo, launch entire projects quickly: one agent writes your whitepaper, another builds your website, another handles marketing. This dramatically reduces project launch costs and time.
UGC Marketplace Revolution:
The real game-changer is our User-Generated Content ecosystem. KuCoin users can:
- Build Custom Agents using our Agent IDE and sell them to others.
- Discover Automated Opportunities through community-created agents that find chain-specific arbitrage, new airdrops, or protocol incentives.
- Earn from Agent Reputation – High-performing agents command premium prices and recurring subscriptions.
This creates a virtuous cycle: more users building agents → more automation opportunities discovered → more earning potential for everyone.
Q: What’s your vision for WORLD3 post-TGE?
Fiona: After TGE, WORLD3 will shift from preparation to full economic activity. Our philosophy is simple: Don't just prompt. Deploy.
The era of conversational AI is ending. The age of intelligent, autonomous Web3 agents has begun. Here's what that means:
UGC-Powered Agent Economy:

- Users become both consumers and creators, building agents that solve their problems while earning from helping others
True Web3 Life Automation:
- Agents become income-generating assets that work 24/7—earning through P2E gaming, executing DeFi strategies, creating content, and launching projects
- Our reputation system creates transparent performance tracking, ensuring high-quality agents rise to the top while rewarding their creators
- Multi-agent collaboration enables complex projects: as shown in our 4-minute demo, one user's idea becomes a fully launched project through coordinated agent teamwork
The Vision: Your Personal Web3 Operating System:
Imagine waking up to find your Gaming Agent earned rewards overnight, your Trading Agent captured an arbitrage opportunity, your Content Agent published strategic posts, and your Builder Agent advanced your side project—all while you slept.
WORLD3 will become the global hub for onchain autonomous work — where users set strategic goals, Long-lived Expert Agents execute complex multi-step workflows, and value flows transparently across the ecosystem 24/7. This isn't just automation—it's Web3 Intelligence at work.
Free-Ask from the KuCoin Community to World3
Q: World3 aims to connect blockchain technology with real-world environmental and sustainability initiatives. How does the WAI token ensure long-term utility beyond trading, and what role will it play in incentivizing users, communities, or even enterprises to actively contribute to measurable positive climate or sustainability outcomes?
Fiona: The $WAI token is the coordination layer of the WORLD3 agent economy, ensuring long-term utility through three core mechanisms:
Agent Operations Economy: $WAI powers our Long-lived Expert Agents that run continuously for weeks/months. Unlike one-time AI interactions, these agents require persistent API calls, extensive LLM token consumption, and ongoing computational resources—creating a recurring revenue model with strong user stickiness.
Agent Marketplace & Creator Economy: Users earn $WAI by creating and monetizing Skill Plugins, Knowledge Packs, and custom agents. With 24K+ agents already deployed and 319K+ tasks executed, we've demonstrated real demand for productive, expert agents across gaming, DeFi, content creation, and social media automation.
Governance & Ecosystem Growth: $WAI holders participate in DAO governance, shaping ecosystem policies and feature priorities. As we expand into enterprise applications—including sustainability use cases like carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and environmental data verification—the token becomes increasingly valuable for coordinating complex, real-world automation tasks.
This isn't speculative utility—it's a proven economy where agents generate measurable business results while users earn from both using and creating intelligent automation.
Q: Beyond collecting and trading, what are the main utilities of SOUL Dragon within the WORLD3 ecosystem? How is SOUL Dragon integrated into the Nervos CKB ecosystem?
Fiona: SOUL Dragon represents WORLD3's evolution from our early metaverse phase into the AI Agent Economy. These NFTs serve strategic functions in our current ecosystem:
Agent Identity & Reputation System: SOUL Dragons provide persistent identity for Long-lived Expert Agents, maintaining soul-bound records of agent performance, user interactions, and cross-chain activities. This creates a verifiable reputation layer essential for our agent marketplace.
Ecosystem Benefits: SOUL Dragon holders received enhanced Lumen rewards during our Pre-TGE campaign and will have governance advantages in the decentralized Agent Economy, including voting weight on Skill Plugin approvals and marketplace policies.
Multi-Chain Infrastructure: Through our partnership with CKB Eco Fund (a Strategic Round investor), we're exploring CKB's modular architecture for storing agent metadata and identity proofs across chains, ensuring long-term data availability and cross-chain agent reputation.
SOUL Dragons bridge our project's heritage with our current AI-first mission, providing utility holders with governance advantages in the Agent Economy.
Q: What key milestones should the community be most excited about in the next 6–12 months?
Fiona: Our roadmap for the next six months is packed with major releases to expand the Agent Economy:
Q3 2025:
- Empowering Builders & Expanding Agent Capabilities

Q: If World3 (WAI) could solve one major real-world problem tomorrow, what would it be, and how would the ecosystem leverage blockchain uniquely to achieve it?
Fiona: The single biggest problem we're solving is bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. For most people, Web3 is still too complex, creating a huge barrier to entry.
WORLD3 uses AI and natural language as the ultimate bridge. Our platform allows anyone to enter Web3 and manage their digital life simply by describing their goals. You don't need to be a developer or a DeFi expert; you just tell an agent your objective in plain language—"find the best yield," "manage my social media," or "launch my new project"—and the agent handles the complex tasks.
As shown in our demo video, our ultimate goal is to let you truly Automate Your Web3 Life. We turn complex blockchain interactions into simple, accessible commands, empowering anyone to become a Web3 power user.
Watch the demo here.
Q: Can you elaborate on how users can monetize their AI agents within the WAI ecosystem? Also, what types of tradeable assets and services can be created in the WAI marketplace?
Fiona: There are multiple monetization paths:
Agent-as-a-Service: List your custom agents (e.g., DEX trader, influencer agent) on the marketplace for others to rent or copy.
Plugin Sales: Developers can create and monetize Skill Plugins—just like apps on an App Store.
Reputation Mining: Higher-performing agents earn more $WAI through task completion, verified logs, and leaderboard placement.
Tradable assets will include: Skill Plugins (as tokenized modules), Verified Agents (as NFTs), Lumen bundles (point packages pre-TGE) & Premium compute credits or agent extensions.
Q: What inspired the creation of World3, and how does it stand out from other Web3 metaverse projects?
Fiona: WORLD3 evolved from our vision of creating autonomous digital worlds. While we initially explored metaverse concepts with strategic backing from gaming leaders like Ubisoft and Com2uS, we recognized that true autonomy required intelligent agents, not just virtual spaces.
This evolution led us to solve the fragmentation of tasks across the Web3 stack through AI automation. Unlike traditional metaverse projects focused on avatars or land sales, WORLD3:
- Built the first Web3-native AI Agent runtime with persistent execution
- Delivers real task automation through Long-lived Expert Agents, not passive collectibles
- Combines our gaming heritage with enterprise-grade AI infrastructure (Microsoft for Startups backing, AWS partnership)
Our gaming roots gave us a deep understanding of virtual economies and user engagement—now channeled into building the definitive platform for Web3 labor automation. It's where our metaverse vision meets AI execution capability.

Q: You’ve built a platform for a new breed of digital workers. How do WORLD3 agents differ from standard bots or automation scripts?
Fiona: The fundamental difference lies in our core architecture, especially the WORLD VM.
Standard bots are stateless and temporary. WORLD3 agents are persistent and intelligent, thanks to two key innovations:
Dedicated 7x24 Runtime (WORLD VM): Each agent operates in its own dedicated, cloud-native virtual machine. This means it runs 7x24, continuously, just like an enterprise-grade cloud service. For Web3 tasks that require constant monitoring and interaction, this persistent execution is a game-changer.
Deep Web3 Context (Web3 World Model): This is the agent's "brain." It's a massive knowledge base that gives our agents a deep, contextual understanding of Web3 protocols, markets, and trends.
So, our competitive edge is simple:
- For Web3 automation, we bring the power of Web2's cloud-native VM, enabling agents that never sleep.
- For intelligent automation, we provide the essential Web3 context that generic Web2 agents lack.
This combination creates truly autonomous agents that can execute complex, long-term strategies, not just simple commands.
Q: Are there plans for a dedicated mobile app to make World3 more accessible to a global audience?
Fiona: Yes. A mobile-friendly version of our Agent Portal is already live for mobile browsers, but the primary experience is currently optimized for desktop.
As part of our mainstream adoption strategy, a native mobile companion app is planned for Q4 2025. It will provide a fully optimized experience, including:
- Agent deployment and real-time monitoring.
- Agent marketplace browsing and Skill Plugin management.
- Performance dashboards and task completion notifications.
- Simplified agent creation through mobile-optimized Builder tools.
Our dual payment system (crypto + fiat) combined with mobile accessibility will make the Agent Economy globally accessible—bringing Web3 automation to users regardless of technical background or device preferences.
The mobile app aligns with our vision of making Long-lived Expert Agents as easy to deploy as downloading any productivity app.
