Level 5 Upgrade
Upgrading an Intelligence Pod to Level 5 through the Genesis Launchpad is the mechanism by which an AI Protocol native asset, including an iNFT, Revenant, or standalone Intelligence Pod, is transformed into a fully autonomous Soulbound Intelligence economy.
This upgrade binds the AI asset to a permanent onchain economic system, enabling it to operate with its own token, liquidity, incentive structure, and compute funding loop. Developers building AI dApps or AI models may also use the Genesis Launchpad to bind their systems to a Level 5 Intelligence Pod, allowing those systems to launch and sustain independent AI economies within the AI Protocol.
Executing a Level 5 upgrade requires an irrevocable commitment of 20 million ALI, or an equivalent value denominated in ETH, Wrapped ETH, USDC, or USDT. This commitment triggers a series of protocol-governed smart contract actions that establish liquidity, initialize market making, and provision long term compute funding for the Soulbound Intelligence economy.

Read the instructions to prepare for the first step:
Create your AI Agent’s Avatar:
Write a detailed prompt for AI Agent’s visual features or upload a reference image to create your Generate Avatar. Add name and Token Symbol to give unique identifier to your AI Agent. You can change Agent’s background as well.
Once generated, your AI Agent will activate the livestream experience. However, your AI Agent will be hibernating until you connect a Level 5 Intelligence Pod to bring it to life.
The Level 5 Intelligence Pod connection is crucial for the launch of token economy as well as unlocking features:

If you don't have an Intelligence Pod to upgrade, you will be instructed to try again, buy a Pod from OpenSea, or learn about Intelligence Pods if you are unfamiliar with how they work:
If you do have an Intelligence Pod to upgrade, select one:
Upgrading a Pod to Level 5 Intelligence Requires 20M ALI or the equivalent value in ETH, Wrapped ETH, USDC, or USDT.
Upgrade the Pod and Commitment review
The amount of ALI required to upgrade to a Level 5 Pod varies by pod level.
Once upgraded, your Pod will use 10M ALI to launch a full-fledged token economy and a Uniswap V4 liquidity pool, with creator rewards automatically linked to the Trade Fee Hook.
You can launch with ALI, or use a stablecoin like USDC to launch your token through a whitelisted Market Maker Agent. You are prompted to commit Liquidity for your USDC pool in a modal.
Select Decentralised GPU Cluster
Please select a decentralized compute provider for your AI Agent Economy. A portion of your token economy's trade fees will fund this service.

Submit committed payment
To complete this step, you need to submit payment first. Once your transaction is verified on our end, your launch will proceed to Pod fusion step. You'll need to follow instructions until the upgrade is successful:
Awaken Soulbound Intelligence token by creating its entire Personality
You can create extensive personality of your agent by adding a Character prompt as well as providing voice.
Once the Pod is fused with an AI Agent, they upgrade to create a Soulbound Intelligence token.
Your AI Agent’s Livestream is now live!
