NPC Day Bangkok
Welcome to the Bangkok install of “NPC Day”: a day dedicated to exploring theory, culture, and application behind the agents that add serendipity, color & vibe to our onchain worlds.
We deviate from the norm of an NPC. Instead of boring, flat, agentless characters, we redefine NPCs by their ability to bring digital worlds to life — Autonomous agents, smart contract bots, and NFTs which can use their own wallet to enact change across the EVM.
