aiRight x DCRC x The Gem Hunters: All about WEN LAMBO, and aiRight 2022 Roadmap AMA Recap
On January 12th, 2022, aiRight and DCRC collaborated to join an AMA in The Gem Hunters community, to share all information and coming plans related to the Wen Lambo racing game, and aiRight 2022 roadmap. We are pleased to recap the main content of the AMA.
Team Members:
Tyree Robinson — aiRight CSO
Linh Phan — aiRight Head of BD
Mohammed Badat — DCRC Founder and Tech Leader
Q&A with The Gem Hunters
Question 1. So to kick off the AMA, could you give a summary of what aiRight is all about? What’s the vision behind the protocol?
Linh Phan: Let me share the idea of aiRight creation. aiRight is a complete system for NFT management built on our native network, Oraichain mainnet. We launched Q3 2021 and spent the first six months setting the foundation for a flexible, cross-chain, AI enhanced NFT X DeFi platform.
In short, the stage is set for a mainnet populated with a new generation of machine learning enhanced dApps. aiRight is only the first of many AI enhanced dApps to be released in the coming years.
The primary use of machine learning on aiRight is NFT authentication functionality.
Our data crawler compiles an index of NFTs from multiple networks to create a database by which originality can be measured.
Each NFT in the database is labeled via Oraichain’s Data Hub to identify its unique features. This is accomplished through both crowdsourced and AI-assisted annotation.
When a new NFT is minted, it is compared against this database to identify potential plagiarism. Each NFT receives a similarity score with the ultimate goal of only allowing original work to be minted as a non-fungible asset.
Tyree Robinson: Yes, it’s a big step towards providing a broad layer of protections for the entire NFT sector. We are ready to make these tools available to many networks.
Question 2. So before we learn about your goals for 2022, let’s get to know the team! Can you give us some background on yourselves, and what inspired you to come together to create aiRight/ORAI?
Tyree Robinson: Sure, aiRight team is led by Dr. Chung Dao, he is the CEO and Co-founder of Oraichain, the world’s first AI-powered oracle and ecosystem for blockchains and also directly manage aiRight — the first DApp running on Oraichain mainnet. He received Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2017 and is also a co-founder of Rikkeisoft, a top-10 software development company in Vietnam.
I’m Tyree Robinson, 2010 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and Chief Strategy Officer for aiRight. I spent the better part of the past decade in the entertainment industry, focusing on TV & music, working with some real legends along the way. I’ve been with aiRight since the beginning and plan to be with the project long term! Love working with this team.
Mohammed: I’m Mohammed Badat, an engineer for 32 years and have developed in many spheres. I currently own and run a Software development consultancy for the past 20 years as well as a Wireless ISP for the last 8 years. I am the founder of DCRC RaceX on the Avalanche network. Very happy to join the aiRIght to bring our game engine to Oraichain mainnet.
Linh Phan: I’m Linh Phan, aiRight Head of BD, I’m the former Head of BD of Oraichain and now I’m focusing on the development of the first AI enhanced DApps on Oraichain. We also have 10 devs in the development team and this number will grow further.
With the coming of NFT on the mainstream in the cryptoworld, we all realize the potential of NFT and have the same vision of “Creating an All-in-one platform for NFT creation and copyright management”. Taking advantages of each core member, we are confident that we can build a solid platform in all aspects: Excellent dev team, CSO with the intensive experience and network in the entertainment industry and supported by a strong community which continues to grow organically.
Question 3. The AIRI token is a crucial aspect of the aiRight ecosystem; can you break down the tokenomics, and share what the utility of the AIRI token is? What separates AIRI from other tokens on the BSC network?
Linh Phan: Ye, AIRI is the token for the aiRight platform and now on BSC. We are going to announce the new tokenomics in January for more sustainable development, with a significant movement of allocations out of Farming and into Ecosystem and Marketing to incentivize contribution to the platform, ensuring exposure and long-term sustainability. AIRI token will be released on the Oraichain mainnet and become a payment token on the platform. The AIRI Utilities includes:
1/ Payment token: some services such as NFT marketplace, in-game token for the NFT games running on Oraichain Mainnet, gallery creation and farming fee will require AIRI tokens for payment. This is a rational choice to build an internal economy within the aiRight system. We are also looking closely at add deflationary element
2/ Governance: AIRI holders have the right to participate in governing the policy decisions on aiRight platform that include the service fee rate, buyback and burn policy, farming rewards, profit sharing, as well as all future utility integrations.
3/ Farming: AIRI tokens are the rewards for yield farming on aiRight
Tyree Robinson: It’s also worth noting: Since aiRight is on Oraichain mainnet, native $ORAI token is a major piece of our ecosystem and currently used for all marketplace transactions until we open the bridge to bring $AIRI to mainnet.
Since Oraichain is an AI enhanced layer 1, users will continue to need $ORAI for transaction fees even once $AIRI is available on mainnet.
Question 4. The year 2022 has been regarded as a year of huge potential for crypto; what plans does AIRI have moving forward, and what should people be looking out for next?
You guys have a massive 2022 roadmap haha it’s incredible
Tyree Robinson: As we move towards completion of all core functionalities for aiRight, 2022 is going to be a very busy year for our team. Here is an overview of our 2022 Roadmap!

In the short term, we are most excited about our partnership with DCRC RaceX and the upcoming game Wen Lambo.
DCRC is currently building the first race2earn metaverse game on AVAX.
@RPMoBoosted do you want to share a bit about your work over there?
Mohammed: Yes sure, Wen Lambo features a play-to-earn ecosystem with highly customizable vehicles and multiple race modes tying the real and virtual world together for a true metaverse experience. Minting for NFCars is ongoing for their game on Avalanche, you can read more about it on our website.
DCRC is the game studio behind Wen Lambo on Oraichain mainnet, which is slated for release Q2 this year. Early presale for aiKeys is currently open on Oraichain mainnet for ~$100 each in native $ORAI.
You will need to purchase a “Pit Pass” in order to claim your aiKey at floor price. There are only about 150 left in this round.
The next round of presale will take place on Feb 9, 2022. The sale will be in BNB, AIRI and fiat via CC for around ~$200 Value (1500 Available).
No matter which payment method you choose, you will receive your NFT on Oraichain mainnet.
The Gem Hunters: aiRight is also hosting a presale for WenLambo, a PvP racing game built on Oraichain! Could you share some details on both the game and the presale? Also, what are the perks of the aiKeys during the presale? 👀
Tyree Robinson: I will try dropping the link here haha
https://blog.airight.io/1-day-left-to-wen-lambo-aikey-presale-the-details-and-guideline-9f46ad2f2e4e
Here is the link to purchase your pit pass directly with $ORAI token. Less than 150 left in the early presale: https://airight.io/nft-detail/9593
The Gem Hunters: Props on letting the presale be in BNB, AIRI, and fiat 👀👀
Tyree Robinson: Yeah, we’re really focusing on bringing users into the Oraichain ecosystem from where they are without too many intermediary steps. Think this will be quite successful for us in the next presale round.
Some of the OG keys on DCRC Avax were purchased for 2 AVAX and currently selling for 20+ AVAX🔥🔥🔥
Secondary market will be big for Wen Lambo too, especially as the game is launched in Q2
Getting in at floor prices now 🧠
Mohammed: Yeah most definitely. We saw over $32K secondary sales on NFTrade in the first week of the Keys launching
Question 5.Speaking of the launch, what advantages does Oraichain offer to both developers and players? This is the first dapp on Oraichain developed by an outside dev team right?
Linh Phan: To build the partnership with DCRC, each party plays their key role on the game development.
The DCRC team will focus on building the engine and concept of the game, and Oraichain will collaborate to apply them to our Mainnet, support from the blockchain and marketing side for the game to attract users.
Wen Lambo will take the advantage of Oraichain mainnet, with the very quick and low transaction fee, aiRight also provides AI Oracle services for NFT Authenticity and Royalty protocol, as well as aid in the implementation of Oraichain’s VRF 2.0.
In the long term, both parties will also work together to tailor a custom AI Oracle, via Oraichain’s Data Hub, relating specifically to car modifications and performance enhancements in order to promote a fair and transparent gaming environment.
Tyree Robinson: Transaction fees on Oraichain mainnet are currently less than $.0001<<<
The Gem Hunters: What’s VRF stand for btw?
Linh Phan: it stands for Verified Random Function — a fully on-chain tool to generate the random value
Tyree Robinson: Improving on Chainlink’s VRF, Oraichain VRF 2.0 GENERATES and VERIFIES randomness on-chain. Far more decentralized.
Question 6. What are the features of WenLambo that make it stand out compared to other projects, and what made AIRI choose WenLambo as their first launch?
Mohammed: We are truly working towards a unique game environment for Wen Lambo. Not pay to earn, but truly play to earn.
We are confident of some following exciting points of game to give players deeply enjoy in racing:
- Various race modes with other level of risks:
Challenge mode: “High Risk”. You could win the whole pot or lose the whole pot, so it’s important to evaluate your risk tolerance and the match-up with your competitor before making/accepting a challenge.
Group mode: “Medium Risk”. The rewards pool here is distributed amongst participants based on standings.
DeFi Season Mode: “Low Risk”. AIRI and LP tokens are deposited into a 30 Day locked vault, utilizing existing farming vaults to generate rewards for the pool. All participants are guaranteed to earn some passive yield from playing, but top winners have the opportunity to win big.
We also have some “free” modes that will only require vehicle ownership/rental to earn XP.
Practice Mode: Practice mode is used to increase driver skill and unlock XP through hands on driving experiences. This XP can be used to unlock and claim car customization kits which can be resold on the secondary market.
- The Car customization: Players will be required to actively participate in practice and race modes in order to earn experience points (XP) and unlock vehicle mods at floor prices. New and upgraded elements can be purchased in the parts store and added to cars in each user’s garage. Players can also choose to resell their parts on the secondary market, allowing other users the chance to purchase parts kits without earning XP. Performance modifications include:
Engine
Turbocharger
Exhaust
Brakes
Tires and Wheels
Intake and Filters
Suspension
Shocks and Stabilizers
All aiKey holders will receive new vehicles via airdrop (Q1 2022)
aiKey holders will have a performance boost
New vehicles will not require restoration
Question 7. Lastly, how can players earn in the WenLambo game, and what’s the best way to get started?
Tyree Robinson: First off, users can earn revenue in our Race Modes above.
Besides playing there are some awesome opportunities to earn revenue including:
Marketplace Opportunities: Car owners can earn from buying and reselling their vehicles on the secondary market. Vehicles that have been upgraded through unlocked parts and customization kits will have added value, so users can create their own strategy and businesses in this ecosystem.
Parts and customization kits unlocked are also issued and claimed as NFTs. This is an opportunity for new buyers to purchase upgrades from players who have earned them, short cutting the time consuming process of earning XP to unlock customizations of their own. This is another opportunity for users to establish their own business model in this game.
NFT Rental Marketplace: After the game is launched, we will also offer an NFT rental marketplace, giving users a low cost opportunity to borrow vehicles for races safely to participate in races. This is also a great opportunity for vehicle owners to earn revenue from the vehicles they have purchased and customized without losing custody permanently.
The Gem Hunters: I like that some of the customization/parts can only be unlocked by playing/XP, that’s a really cool idea ngl
Tyree Robinson: This is not just some 2D p2e jalopy. We’re creating an economy for the advantage of all players.
The Gem Hunters: Love that you’re building one where playing actually gets rewarded in a way money can’t just buy out the gate
Tyree Robinson: And if you do want to buy your shortcut to greatness, the team won’t be the ones selling. It will be the community of collectors and players who reap the benefits.
Mohammed: Yeah we create an economy for players, they can go as far as in the future having dealerships for selling their cars, and also renting their cars
Q&A with Community
Question 1. It is known lately that “artists” steal intellectual property and upload music as their own, when in fact it is plagiarism from other musicians who are sometimes less well known. On the aiRight platform, do you review content before publishing? How do you ensure that quality content is published and comes from artists? And how does the system work? The AI GENERATOR secures it?
Tyree Robinson: We rely on two systems for flagging potential plagiarism on aiRight: AI authentication and flagging by users.
Our AI Oracle is uniquely built to scan all on-chain NFTs before any work can be minted. If it is a fake, it’s rejected.
If the work is infringing on off-chain IP, we rely on users to flag this fraud so we can remove it from our marketplace. In the future, we will aso work to add off-chain, real world art to the database to protect everyone from bad actors.
Question 2. How can I buy this token? Is it available on any exchange?
Tyree Robinson: $AIRI is available on PancakeSwap and soon ORAIDEX on Oraichain mainnet.
$ORAI is available on KuCoin (native, BEP20, ERC20 withdrawals supported), PCS and UNI
Question 3. I’ve checked some aiRight’s features and one of the features that stands out to me is the “NFT Originality Check”. I think it’s kind of awesome to check whether the NFT is original or not. My question is, I wonder whether in the future this feature will not only be indexing pictures from NFT but also pictures from all over the internet? This comes to my concern because some NFTs are stolen from artists that upload their arts on social media but know nothing about NFT and people are taking advantage of that.
Linh Phan: The “NFT originality check” function is one of the Oraichain AI Oracle — a service that can be integrated to other platforms not limited to the NFT projects. We are willing to looking for the partners who are concerning about the copyright infringement in their networks
Question 4. Most of the farm coins suffer from high APY and are constantly printing new tokens. For example, I farm $AIRI, receive more $AIRI, and throw away my extra tokens. Most of the farm coins have failed and will fail on Token Metrics only. How do you offset the selling pressure?
Linh Phan: As we mentioned before, the new tokenomics for sustainable development of aiRight and AIRI will be released soon. In this picture, AIRI is no longer the farming token and the AIRI utilities will be updated with many usages. Most significant change is that AIRI will become the payment token on every transaction on aiRight, DAO and in-game token for strategics gaming partners. The burning mechanism is also developed to make deflation for AIRI.
Question 5. Do you have any plans to attract non-crypto investors to join your project? Because the success of a project attracts more investors who haven’t yet entered the crypto world. What are the plans to raise awareness about your project in the non-crypto space.
Tyree Robinson: We have a lot of great partnerships to bridge non-crypto users into our ecosystem. Next week we are launching our first NFT series by 3X MLB All-Star Bret Boone and we’re expecting major media coverage by a number of sports outlets.
By making it easy to acquire tokens on aiRight directly in Fiat on-platform, it removes many steps for new users. Streamlining the process to far less steps.
We will also look to create projects that will be in demand more broadly throughout the real world. One such example of this is NFTs as a Ticket for live events. This will be a game changer and we already have some major festivals and promoters interested in working with us to deploy these solutions.
The Gem Hunters: You got an NFT with Bret Boone? Legends
Tyree Robinson: It’s going to be great. Celebrating his first at bat, his all time record win season with the Mariners and his status as the first 3rd generation MLB player and All-Star. Lest we forget, his brother is currently the manager of the Yankees and his son is working through the minors now, currently playing for the Nationals.
