## What is Echelon Prime (PRIME)? Echelon Prime is a Web3 ecosystem designed to integrate blockchain technology into gaming. The platform provides tools and infrastructure to support novel gaming models and economies. Its first adoption was in Parallel, a science fiction trading card game that leverages blockchain for in-game transactions and player rewards. Echelon Prime also incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) into its ecosystem, particularly through Parallel Colony, a simulation game where players interact with semi-autonomous AI avatars. These AI agents are designed to navigate a mining colony, simulate human-like behavior, and adapt to in-game challenges. The avatars also manage ERC-6551 wallets, allowing them to own and trade digital assets, including ERC-1155 tokens and PRIME. ## What is PRIME used for? PRIME is the native utility token within the Echelon ecosystem, facilitating multiple functions: * **In-Game Transactions:** Used to acquire limited-edition Parallel trading cards and in-game assets. * **Governance:** Token holders can submit proposals and vote on platform developments. * **Engagement Incentives:** Players use PRIME to interact with AI-powered avatars in Parallel Colony, create AI agents, and participate in other ecosystem activities. ## Who created Echelon Prime (PRIME)? Echelon Prime was developed by the Echelon Prime Foundation, which focuses on integrating blockchain technology into gaming.
