Step 2: Create Your AI Companion
Last updated
Last updated
In Alterim AI, a Companion is your on-chain AI partner. It is not just a random character — it is a fully minted NFT on Berachain, representing both your ownership and the AI's evolving identity inside the Alterim ecosystem.
When you mint a Companion, you choose one of the following as the foundation:
Your Alterim SBT (soulbound token) if you don't hold any NFTs.
A supported partner NFT (such as Jungle Party, SteadyTeddys, YEETS, BULLAS)
Based on your choice, the Companion NFT is created on-chain with a unique structure.
Note: Companion minting through custom image uploads is planned for future updates. During the CBT phase, only default options (SBT or supported partner NFTs) are available.
You’ll need a small amount of BERA in your wallet to complete the minting.
Minting a companion during the CBT requires 12 $BERA.
Once minted, your Companion will continue to exist and be usable in the full Alterim AI main product — unlocking even more utilities and features as the platform expands.
Additionally, the first 3,500 users who mint their Companion will receive a free, limited-edition Alterim Genesis NFT — a special collectible to mark your early participation!
Don’t miss your chance — mint your Companion early!
Every minted Companion NFT is permanently linked to:
The original foundation asset's image info (your SBT or partner NFT)
A unique Companion ID assigned at the time of minting
Persona Data: The personality traits assigned to your Companion within Alterim AI
Custom Name: The personalized name you give your Companion
Interaction History: Your engagement records, affinity scores, and interaction patterns
This data is securely stored and managed by Alterim AI.
Your Companion NFT acts as the key to access all associated data on the Alterim platform. When you interact with your Companion, the system links your NFT’s unique ID to retrieve the correct persona, name, and gameplay history from our backend.
Your Companion’s growth, memories, and evolution are preserved and tied to your NFT ownership.
In the future Companion Marketplace, the persona and history of your AI could influence its value — while the NFT remains the access point to everything.
