FAQ

What is a Simulacrum?

A simulacrum is an imitation of a person or thing. In the same way that a charicature is a representation of a person, it is distorted to be uniquely identifiable as an unrealistic portrayal. It borrows elements of the real thing, but is able to take certain liberties in its implementation and represenation. In the same way, the Simulacrum is a representation of a blockchain, but not constrained to the formalities. It emulates these elements in an easily consumable onchain application, rather than a decentralized global network. In many ways, this is a good way for people to familiarize themselves with the core elements of a blockchain. In other ways, it is a blockchain on easy mode.

I still don't get it, what is this?

It's a way to connect offchain identities from a variety of data sources to a blockchain environment. It also allows developers to build protocols that easily connect to these sources.

How does this enable AI Agents/LLM based use cases?

By creating an entrypoint and a limited set of actions with a consistent format, it allows AI agents to provide their intents onchain in their desired format. By parsing the intent onchain, it makes it so the agent can communicate in a domain specific language closer to natural language, and the intent can be parsed and handled onchain.
