With Christmas just a few days away, Santa's workshop is overloaded with requests and he cannot process them quickly enough - just like Ethereum in the summer of 2020. We invite you to help Santa identify who is on the NICE list, those community members, project leaders and onchain actors that you think most deserve a bit of festive cheer.How to Participate🎅 🔥 Speak to Santa: t.me/xmasbonfireNominate someone for the NICE list by talking to Santa in this group, or in DMs. Tell him:Who you nominate,What they are building,Why they should be added to the NICE listWhen you tell Santa, he will add the names and information to the NICE list. If your nominee is part of a wider community, for example DeFi, DeSci or deAI, tell Santa and you might find unexpected connections in your card. Santa uses your nominations on Telegram to generate a Christmas Bonfire graph, which acts a memory for Santa's AI brain. Santa consumes NICE list nominations every 20 minutes, so be sure to wait for that!✍ 🥰 Write your Christmas Card: xmas.bonfires.ai Send a Christmas card to the person you nominated for the NICE list by following these steps:Connect your wallet, you will need $0.25 USDC on Base to generate one cardClick "Create a Card"Give a prompt that references the person you're spreading Christmas cheer to! Try to be specific as Santa has a big list with many similar names on it!Bonus: Create a Writer's RoomFor the most ardent and festive Elves, we invite you to create your own Writer's Room. A Writer's Room allows Santa to write more focused cards, from specific areas of his Bonfire graph, by selecting a fixed centre node. The cards generated from these rooms will be queried first from the chosen node, then branch out from there, rather than a general graph query. This provides an element of control of the output generated. For example, you can create a DeSci Room, with a chosen centre node "DeSci community", to ensure that all Christmas Cards generated from this room are focused on the topic of DeSci.from xmas.bonfires.ai/data-rooms💌 🕊 Send your Christmas Card Now that you've generated your Christmas Card, send it to your nominee! Send the link of the card, and help them with the process of sending their own!How it WorksThe Onchain Christmas Card initiative is powered by bonfires.ai, a knowledge graph creation protocol and utilises x402 payments on Base network. Read more: https://xmas.bonfires.ai/how-it-works Simply put, Santa is using a Bonfire to structure all of the nominations he receives through Telegram into a knowledge graph that he uses as his memory. This structured data is fed to Santa's AI agent, and also used for the generation of the Card text, and the Card image.An example of Santa's Bonfire graphThe graph is automatically generated using:Episodic Memory, in which we take periodic snapshots of activity across the Bonfire and all channels Santa is watching and summarise them; Entity Extraction, in which people, places, things, ideas, objects... distinct entities... are extracted from the summaries and enshrined as nodes in the graph;Deduplication, to ensure that we have a coherent graph that does not confuse entities with themselves at scaleRelationship Mapping, to generate edges between the nodes that detail how each entity relates to each other and the episodes.Together, this process creates a structured memory for our agents to utilise in service of user queries, including the Card prompts themselves.Learn MoreHear our demo pitch from Edge City Patagonia: Bonfires.ai 🎅🏻🔥 @bonfiresai Demo Day @JoinEdgeCity by Joshua Bate @jb87ua captured Bonfires' mission of healing information asymmetry and coordinating communities.
