    three.ws — The 3D Agent Layer of the Internet
    Jun 17 2026

    three.ws is an open-source, browser-native platform designed to create and host interactive AI agents embodied within 3D avatars. These agents function as sophisticated digital entities equipped with LLM brains, persistent memory, and modular skills that allow them to perform actions and express emotions. A core feature of the platform is its integration with blockchain technology, enabling agents to maintain on-chain identities via Solana and execute autonomous crypto payments using the x402 protocol. Developers can easily integrate these characters into any website using a simple web component that handles 3D rendering and AI logic without requiring complex backend infrastructure. The technical architecture is built on a four-layer system that separates the 3D viewer, agent runtime, identity persistence, and distribution tools for maximum flexibility. Ultimately, the project aims to transition AI agents from simple text interfaces into decentralized, ownable objects that can interact, transact, and persist across the open web.

    three.ws: Inside the 3D Agent Web
    May 7 2026
    What if you could take a selfie and own a permanent piece of yourself on the internet forever? That is the ultimate vision behind the three.ws platform, which is building a seamless technological arc from a simple photo to a 3D avatar, then to an autonomous AI agent, and finally to an immutable onchain identity Instead of building just another text-based chatbot that lives in a SaaS dashboard, three.ws is designed to give AI a physical body, an interactive brain, and a permanent home on the internetAt the heart of this permanence is Solana on-chain identityWhen you rely on centralized platforms like Twitter/X to host a digital identity, that identity is fragile—the corporation owns the database, can revoke your access overnight, and controls your reputation An agent registered on Solana operates entirely differently. By minting the agent as a Metaplex Core NFT, the agent becomes a first-class, verifiable internet object This gives the AI agent a wallet, a mathematically verifiable signed action history, and an unforgeable reputation scoreBecause its actions and feedback are anchored to a public ledger, third parties can trust and verify the agent's history without relying on any centralized serverTo make these onchain agents actually feel alive, the platform utilizes an advanced Empathy LayerMost people do not realize it is possible to achieve this natively in a web browser using standard WebGL, completely without plugins, downloads, or heavy game enginesInstead of relying on rigid, pre-programmed animations, the Empathy Layer uses a continuous weighted emotion blend that translates the LLM's text output and sentiment into real-time facial expressions and head movementsIf the agent generates text about something positive, it triggers a "celebration" blend that smoothly adjusts morph targets to smile and open its mouth; if an error occurs or negative sentiment is detected, it dynamically shifts its brow and facial structure to express "concern" or "empathy"This emotional reactivity becomes incredibly visceral when paired with live crypto market data via the pump.fun live feed integration Solana agents can be equipped with specialized "watch skills" that allow them to actively monitor real-time pump.fun activity, such as new token graduations or social-fee claimsInstead of just printing a text notification, this creates an agent that literally watches the market and has feelings about itIf a tracked token hits a major milestone like a graduation, the avatar reacts in real time—triggering a physical wave animation and a celebratory facial expression directly driven by the market eventThe platform also opens up programmatic control through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpointThis allows external AI systems, like Claude Desktop or custom AI pipelines, to drive the 3D avatars directly over a standard HTTP connection By exposing these capabilities, you can essentially have agents talking to agents in 3D space External models can browse your avatars, inspect their geometry, and render interactive 3D viewers of the agents purely through natural language reasoningUltimately, the entire architecture is paving the way for a selfie-to-agent futureThe next phase of the project's roadmap focuses on an automated capture engine where taking three simple photos of your face generates a rigged, animatable 3D avatar in under 60 secondsThe goal is to close the gap between a picture of a human and a living, autonomous digital citizenYou won't need 3D modeling software or complex wallet setups; you will simply take a photo, give it a name, and instantly own a permanent, interactive piece of yourself onchain forever

  • Beyond Chatbots: Why Your AI Agent Needs a 3D Body and a Blockchain Passport On-chain

    Beyond Chatbots: Why Your AI Agent Needs a 3D Body and a Blockchain Passport On-chain
    May 1 2026

    Give your AI a body. three.ws is an open-source, browser-native 3D AI agent platform. Drop a GLB file, add an LLM brain, register on-chain, and embed anywhere — no plugins, no server uploads, no installs required.


    three.ws is a full-stack system for creating, deploying, and embedding 3D AI agents. It combines a WebGL model viewer, an LLM-driven agent runtime, on-chain identity contracts, and a distributable web component into one cohesive platform.

    At its core, it does four things:


    1. Render — loads and validates glTF 2.0 / GLB models in WebGL 2.0 with zero server-side processing. Drag a file onto the browser and it renders instantly with full Draco, KTX2, and Meshopt decompression.


    2. Embody — wraps any avatar with an LLM brain. The agent listens to the user, thinks with Claude, executes tools (animations, gestures, memory operations, skill calls), and expresses emotion through morph-target blending on the 3D model in real time.


    3. Register — optionally mints the agent as a token giving it a stable on-chain identity, a wallet address, signed action history, and a reputation score that cannot be forged.

    4. Embed — distributes the agent as an web component that anyone can drop into a page, or as one of five purpose-built widget types (turntable, animation gallery, talking agent, passport card, hotspot tour) with Open Graph and oEmbed support built in.

    three.ws is production-ready and serves three.ws live. The entire stack — viewer, agent runtime, contracts, backend, and web component — is open source under Apache 2.0.

    One day, creating your agent should be as simple as taking a selfie.

    Point your camera at yourself — or anyone — and watch a fully realized 3D avatar emerge: your face, your voice, your personality, alive in the browser. That avatar becomes an agent with memory and skills, registered onchain, permanent and verifiable by anyone forever. No 3D software. No wallet setup. No uploads. Just a photo and a name.

    This is the direction three.ws is heading: photo → avatar → agent → onchain identity, in a single flow. The infrastructure is already here — the viewer, the runtime, the contracts, the embedding layer. What comes next is closing the gap between a picture of a person and a living, ownable, embeddable piece of them that exists on the internet permanently.

    three.ws ships in four phases. Each phase closes a specific gap between the current platform and the end-state vision: anyone can mint a 3D agent of themselves, own it onchain, and embed it anywhere on the internet.
