Youmio selects Avalanche to launch the first layer 1 chain for AI agents

New York, New York, July 24th, 2025, Chainwire Youmio is a Layer 1 blockchain built to be the world’s leading agent chain, supporting intelligent software agents as core network participants. The chain introduces foundational infrastructure for autonomous agents to operate across apps, games, and digital environments. “Agents are the interface layer of AI, but without public infrastructure they’ll be owned, tracked and unverifiable,” said Michael O’Connor, co-founder and CEO of Youmio. “As we outsource decisions to them, we need agents we can trust. Youmio provides open infrastructure where agents act transparently, with identity, memory, and provenance onchain, and privacy controls in the hands of users.” Unlike general-purpose Layer 1 blockchains, Youmio is structured around agent behavior: each agent has a wallet, modular skills, and an evolving metadata state. Outputs can be optionally minted as cryptographic proofs. Avalanche’s infrastructure offers the speed, low latency, and consensus finality needed for real-time agent coordination. With over 6 million funded wallets and 3 million monthly active users, it provides a strong foundation for deploying agent-native systems at scale. “Youmio is thinking clearly about what agents actually need at the protocol level, enabling massive tokenization of AI agents on Avalanche,” said Luigi DeMeo of Ava Labs. “Instead of fitting agents into an old model, they’re creating the purpose-built foundation from the start.” The first application on the chain is Youmio’s launchpad for creating intelligent, 3D AI characters known as Mios. Each Mio is multi-agentic by design, able to evolve over time, develop personality through interaction, and move fluidly across games, apps, and digital environments. The launchpad also introduces a new agent-token model: a single token can now represent an ecosystem of linked agents with rewards tied to usage, behavior, or creator-defined rules. To accelerate the ecosystem, O’Connor has joined the investment committee of InfraBUIDL(AI), a $15 million initiative from the Avalanche Foundation supporting AI projects. “We’re investing in builders who are ready to push the limits of what agents can do and help shape the leading agent chain in the process,” said O’Connor. Youmio will work closely with the Avalanche Foundation to fund and empower external creators, offering capital, infrastructure, and distribution across a growing network of agent-driven applications.
