Getting Started with Colony on Solana Seeker: Step-by-Step Guide

Getting Started with Colony on Solana Seeker: Step-by-Step Guide

If you're into blockchain gaming and AI, you've probably heard the buzz around Colony—the world's first AI agent game built by Parallel Studios. Launched exclusively on the Solana Seeker device, this post-apocalyptic survival sim lets you team up with AI companions to build and protect your colony. Integrated with the $PRIME token ecosystem, it's not just a game; it's a way to earn rewards while shaping a futuristic world. Recently, the team dropped a handy getting-started guide on X (formerly Twitter), and we're breaking it down here to help you jump in during Early Alpha Access.

Colony combines AI technology with blockchain elements, where players manage resources, collaborate with AI avatars, and tackle threats in a dynamic environment. It's tied to Parallel's ecosystem, including Avatar NFTs and the PRIME token for governance and rewards. If you're new to Solana Seeker, it's a mobile device optimized for Solana blockchain apps, making it perfect for on-the-go crypto gaming.

The guide comes straight from the official Colony thread on X, outlining everything from app download to joining your first colony. Let's dive into the steps.

Step-by-Step Guide to Colony on Solana Seeker

Step 1: Download the Colony App

Start by opening the Solana dApp Store on your Seeker device. Look for the Parallel Colony app—it's often featured in the carousel—and hit download. Simple as that to get the ball rolling.

Step 2: Launch Colony and Sign In

Once downloaded, launch the app and create a new Parallel account if you don't have one. If you're already playing Parallel TCG (their trading card game), you can log in with Google or your username and password. This keeps things seamless across their ecosystem.
