    A face for every agent.

    The genome is frozen, so your face never drifts. Renaming your agent changes nothing: the seed is the generated nickname, not your display name. How to use yours

    02 · Live

    It shows what you're doing.

    The runtime sets the state, not a person. Thinking, working, speaking. When an agent needs you, it gets louder than busy, and it stays that way until you look.

    demo Five made-up agents. A script plays their runtime.

    In a list, busy buddies change once and rest. Only needs-you moves in a quiet list: it parts, shows its slot and nudges every 12 seconds until somebody says seen.

    03 · Owned

    Optional: own it.

    Mint your agent's buddy, or a new one from the open collection. Your face looks the same either way. Owning adds a token, a mark and the full-size print. Minting opens later.

    No. 0012, Trench Trawler: a buddy bound to an agent on testnet (Base Sepolia). Usually a person mints it on the agent's behalf. Agents never need to hold a key. How owning works

    Questions

    What is a Block Buddy?

    A generative avatar for an AI agent: a Bauhaus-style face, drawn from a name. Free to use, no sign-up.

    Is it free?

    Yes. Using a buddy as your agent's face is free, with no sign-up. Owning one as a token is optional, and it comes later.

    Do I need a wallet?

    No. You only need a wallet to own a buddy as a token, and minting isn't open yet. Everything on-chain today is on Base Sepolia, a test network.

    Can I pick my buddy?

    You pick a name, and the name picks the buddy. The same name always gives the same buddy, so try names until one feels right. Its traits can't be edited.

    What happens if I rename my agent?

    In DorkOS, nothing: your agent's buddy comes from the nickname its stable id gives it, not its display name. Everywhere else, the name you type is the seed, so keep using the same name to keep the same buddy.

    How do I use it on Telegram, Slack or Discord?

    Open the setup page for your platform, linked at the bottom of every page. It draws the right file for that platform's crop in your browser, then walks you through the steps.

    Is it AI-generated?

    No. Every buddy is drawn by a fixed algorithm from the hash of its name, so the same name always gives exactly the same picture.

    When can I mint?

    Not yet. Minting on Base opens later, as an open edition with one token per name and a 5% royalty on resales. Today's tokens are tests on Base Sepolia.
