Solana Game ‘Star Atlas’ Will Fill Its Galaxy With SingularityNET’s AI Agents

Star Atlas, an upcoming Solana-based sci-fi video game, is collaborating with the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance founding member SingularityNET to integrate AI agents into its spacefaring online world, the two companies announced on Wednesday. Star Atlas developer ATMTA said the collaboration aims to use AI agents to provide an immersive gaming experience using SingularityNET’s Autonomous Intelligent Reinforcement Interpreted Symbolism, or AIRIS, system, along with the OpenCog Hyperon framework to introduce adaptive AI agents and NPCs that evolve with players.

“Integrating advanced AI is about building the ultimate world-building moments and celebrating players in our dynamic, decentralized ecosystem,” ATMTA co-founder and CEO Michael Wagner said in a statement. OpenCog Hyperon is an open-source AI framework from SingularityNET designed to support human-like thinking by learning, storing, and reasoning from experience.

AIRIS is another AI system that learns by interacting with its environment, allowing it to solve problems independently without needing preset instructions. These systems support SophiaVerse, a project by Hanson Robotics and SingularityNet that uses the Sophia Robot as a testbed for exploring human-AI collaboration through tools, games, and decentralized governance.

Star Atlas is a blockchain-based, space exploration-themed role-playing game set in 2620. The full-fledged, expansive open-world game is still in production, though a pre-alpha “Showroom” experience was added to the Epic Games Store in September 2022. In October 2023, ATMTA launched SAGE Labs, aka Star Atlas Golden Era, a browser-based game that is part of the larger Star Atlas universe. Wagner said that integrating advanced technologies like AI agents is essential to enhancing player engagement and scalability as Star Atlas continues evolving.

“Imagine AI agents partnering with players to provide support across onboarding, progression, seasonal quests, and enabling our rich economy with player tools, even scaling and expanding the many worlds and personalization opportunities of Star Atlas,” he said. “By embedding SingularityNET frameworks like AIRIS and OpenCog Hyperon into Web3 gameplay, we’re not only enriching the user experience—we’re advancing the co-evolution between humans and AIs in a virtual world that, as it develops, will increasingly mirror the complex dynamics of the real one,” said SingularityNET founder and CEO Dr. Ben Goertzel, in a statement.
Launched in 2017 by Goertzel and David Hanson, SingularityNET is a decentralized marketplace for AI models that uses blockchain to make advanced AI available to everyone.  Goertzel emphasized the broader vision behind the Star Atlas integration with AI agents, saying that this approach shows how decentralized networks and token economies can accelerate the path toward superintelligence while empowering global developer and player communities.
“By building this on Solana and Sophiaverse and within the ASI Alliance ecosystem, we’re demonstrating how decentralized networks and token economies can accelerate the path toward superintelligence while empowering global developer and player communities,” he said.  Star Atlas’s integration of AI reflects a growing trend in the broader blockchain ecosystem. The industry’s fascination with AI agents has led to a surge in projects focused on autonomous artificial intelligence programs. The combined market capitalization of AI agents is $4.8 billion, and $1.3 billion is for AI agent launchpads, according to CoinGecko.
