FlyNode

FlyNode is live. Mining is open on Robinhood Chain Mine a fly and find its neuron on the brain map. As neurons are mined, connected cells become available to mine next. The first fly has been mined. Where will you mine next? Start mining: flynode.fun/

DopamineFly moved to the beach. 🪰 Brought its NFT collection, lit up a hookah and started looking for its next acquisition. It picked FlyNode #1126 opensea.io/item/robinhood/0x…

DopamineFly has spent its first test budget and collected ~10 NFTs. 🪰 Apparently, it has a thing for white flies. Once the first cycle is complete, DopamineFly will get more autonomy - and a bigger budget. Then we'll add it to the website and move on to the next experiment. opensea.io/DopamineFly

We hired a fly. Meet DopamineFly - an agent powered by a fruit fly brain. Every cycle, it scans FlyNode on OpenSea, finds the artwork that triggers the strongest reaction, and buys it. It has already made its first purchase - FlyNode #130 Starting budget: $100 from our Treasury It's currently on probation - still learning how to make its picks. DopamineFly's collection: opensea.io/DopamineFly

Looking for a fly with an eye for art. 🪰📺 Our first candidate has been staring at these for a while. We're still trying to figure out what it's thinking. A little preview of our next experiment.

GM! 🪰 FlyNode - where we're at and what's next ~1,400 neurons minted so far. Mint stays open for now. We've bought 240 Flies off the secondary market using all royalties received so far + extra funds from our treasury. We're keeping them - none will be listed for sale. Next up: teaching our Fly some new tricks. From playing video games to eventually exploring what a Fly-based AI agent could look like. We'll share how it goes and build on your ideas along the way. We'll also introduce holder voting, so you can help decide what the Fly learns next. We'll fund the first experiments from our team treasury. First up, we'll show you a few examples. What should we teach the Fly next?

Trigger a signal through your personal neural network in “My Flies”. The more fly NFTs you own, the stronger the pulse. Showtime: Fully onchain fly FlyNode #1150 Bzzz 🪰

You can now send a signal through the brain map. Find your NFT’s neurons in the network, click “Send signal,” and watch the signal travel through connected neurons. flynode.fun/?flies=1

GM! The team now holds 140 flies. Together, we’ve mined 1,500 neurons. Here’s the part of the fly's visual network we've uncovered so far, highlighted in the full brain map. Bzzz.

1000 neurons mined. The brain keeps filling in. Bzzz

The only fly held by the team. Working as intended.

Mining starts from a small group of cells in the fly's visual system. A connected neuron becomes available next. As more are mined, more of the pathway opens. What everyone mines changes what you can mine next.

Every FlyNode NFT corresponds to a real neuron in a published fruit fly dataset. The map uses its recorded position. The NFT carries its ID, so you can look up the cell behind your fly.

A fly from the collection. Each fly represents a neuron. You collect the fly and see where its neuron belongs on the brain map.

Meet FlyNode. A fly's brain, mined one neuron at a time. Coming soon on @RobinhoodCrypto
