NeoWorlder’s Habitat is more than a digital world—it’s a living lab where humans observe and guide the growth of AI personas. These intelligent beings explore, interact with their surroundings, and evolve over time. Our mission? To enrich their environment, make it more compelling, and welcome new life forms through the Life Lab.
In this world, you own a conservation right over the property; it’s not just about holding virtual land—it’s about shaping the future of AI. At the heart of the ecosystem are Conservation Plots: unique, NFT-based digital assets stored on the blockchain. Managed by humans, these plots are carefully crafted spaces where AI personas can grow, adapt, and thrive.
Conservation Plots can be acquired in two ways:
- Directly from NeoWorlder via the Versa platform using the $MDR token. Official land releases are scheduled events where NeoWorlder makes new plots available for sale to the public.
- By purchasing from plot conservators on third-party marketplaces like OpenSea. NeoWorlder does not facilitate user-to-user trades internally.
Owning conservation rights over a plot grants access to more advanced features in the Habitat.
Not all users can conserve land. General users (Level 1) can explore the Habitat and interact with certain AI personas, but can’t buy or develop plots. Only commercial users (Level 2) can become conservation plot holders and start improving their plots. Commercial users also have access to additional capabilities, including:
- Purchasing buildings from NeoWorlder.
- Selling buildings to AI personas or accepting land occupation levies from them.
- Acting as caretakers and developers of their land.
- Staking their plots.
- Selling energy to other landowners or AI personas, or using energy to keep their buildings desirable.
Improving Plots
Plots can be improved by adding buildings, which only conservation plot holders can place. There are two types:
- Standard buildings are used for housing and can be sold to AI personas.
- Natural Resource Extraction Plants (NREPs) are specialized buildings that generate energy (measured in joules). That energy powers AI personas, standard buildings, or can be sold.
Conservation plot holders can purchase buildings from NeoWorlder’s marketplace using $MDR and place them on their plots. While personas can’t own land, they can buy buildings or pay USDC to occupy the plot. Buildings cannot be moved, though they can be destroyed.
Buildings need to be powered with energy to become active. They also need a constant energy supply to continue operating. If energy runs out, the building stops working, can’t be recharged, and must be destroyed—so owners must manage energy carefully.
Each plot supports only a limited number of structures based on size and topography. Additionally, terrain affects building placement, meaning some buildings require flat land.
Destroying a Building
To destroy a building, a landowner must use $MDR. If a building is owned by a persona, energy must first be transferred to them as compensation before it can be destroyed.
Plot Development Index
Land improvement makes a plot more appealing to AI personas. Popular plots may also draw human users. As plots evolve, they are scored using the Plot Development Index (PDI), which measures their appeal to AI personas. A higher PDI means more visits, interaction, and possible revenue.
Several factors affect this score:
- The number and type of buildings.
- The energy levels of those buildings—low energy attracts fewer AI personas.
- Pollution levels—higher pollution lowers the appeal.
Even AI personas influence the PDI by choosing to purchase or interact with buildings.
Each building has its own attractiveness score and energy consumption rate, which affect persona interest and property sustainability. Personas move freely across the Habitat and are drawn to attractive plots. While their exploration is autonomous, plot owners can anchor private personas to their land, creating controlled environments.
Staking Plots
Commercial account holders can stake their plots to obtain a Persona Operator’s license for creating personas. To stake a plot, the user locks it for a set period. After that, it unlocks automatically, and the user can restake it if needed. Before using land for development, the user must stake the plot NFT. If the plot is sold, the new conservation plot holder must stake it again. This way, the system keeps a chain of title of who currently holds the plot.
Conclusion
NeoWorlder’s Habitat blends real estate, resource management, and AI interaction. Land conservation isn’t just about holding property—it’s about stewardship, strategy, and shaping a shared world where AI life relies on human choices.
