Project Introduction

HIM is the first Web3 female-oriented 2D virtual boyfriend nurturing game, creating a full-dimensional virtual boyfriend image through the combination of AI + Crypto technology.

Team Introduction

HIM is developed by Sleepless AI Lab. The team was previously the core team of the paper-cutting game, with a wealth of experience in game release and 0 to 1 project construction, including "Shining Nikki", etc. The total number of users served in the past exceeds 400 million, with a peak DAU of 10 million. They have a good grasp of the gaming experience preferences of female users, conversion methods, and payments. They have verified high-traffic products and mature business models in Web2, as well as NFT/token gameplay and AI narrative.

HIM is the first game developed by Sleepless AI Lab, and the second game is the nurturing girlfriend HER. Recently, the official website has launched the HER chat function.

Investment Institutions

The disclosed investment institutions currently include: Binance LABS, FoliusVentures, ForsightVentures. The specific investment amount has not been disclosed at present.

Token Economics

HIM includes two types of tokens: one is the in-game token Diamonds; the other is the governance token $AI.

Diamonds can be purchased with BNB, stablecoins, and $AI. Diamonds can be used to purchase in-game items: clothing, accessories, food, upgrade cards, etc.

$AI token holders can vote on game governance decisions, including prioritizing in-game item upgrades (e.g., upgrading accessories from SR to SSR), or deciding on future accessories/new boyfriend types. Staked $AI users can share transaction fee income based on their governance weight and receive recharge discounts for in-game tokens. In addition, staked $AI can be used to vote for their own boyfriend/girlfriend to participate in competitions, with the winners receiving more rewards.

Summary

Considering the recent listing situation on Binance, both AIGC and the game have received high attention, showing a strong enthusiasm for related assets to be listed. However, there is currently a general lack of practicality and high-quality teams with direct products and projects targeting end users. HIM is invested in by Binance, and there are almost no similar competing products, making it highly likely to be listed on Binance.

Female-oriented 2D games have the potential to bring in high traffic and generate revenue, as both the willingness and ability to pay have been verified in Web2. The 2D game market has seen rapid growth in recent years, with inherent advantages in popularity and social aspects. The overall direction and game content align well with Web3, and there is currently no 2D female-oriented game category in Web3 games.

AI + Crypto enables better empowerment, with AI addressing the personalization of nurturing boyfriends, making it more unique and breaking the industry's high-cost structure while achieving better results (voice, storyline, art).

Using the pay-to-win model, compared to GameFi/X2E economic models, it has sustainability, bringing stable operational income and organic user growth.

With high-traffic products and mature business models verified in Web2, combined with NFT/token gameplay and AI narrative, we look forward to HIM taking off.
