AI-Driven NPCs in Web3 Games: Where Blockchain Meets Autonomous Agents

Non-player characters (NPCs) have always been central to game worlds. Traditionally, they followed scripted behaviors, predictable dialogue trees, and limited interaction logic. Today, Web3 games are redefining NPCs by combining artificial intelligence with blockchain infrastructure, giving rise to autonomous agents that can learn, act independently, own assets, and participate in on-chain economies. This convergence of AI-driven NPCs and Web3 technology represents one of the most important technical evolutions in gaming-pushing NPCs from static content into living systems.
