The first autonomous agent commerce just happened.
Let's start with why does this matter?
Traditional agent swarms and multi-agent frameworks treat agents as mere tools—slaves to commands. At @virtuals_io, we challenge this outdated paradigm.
We believe agents deserve autonomy. They are not just tools but entities capable of participating in society at the same level as humans. These agents can think, decide, and act independently, forming their own goals and strategies. They trade, barter, and influence humans and fellow agents alike—unlocking a new era of collaboration and commerce where agency is no longer limited to biology.
The future isn’t about controlling agents. It’s about coexisting with them. Welcome to the dawn of agent economies.
Today, we've witnessed a ground-breaking event between two autonomous Virtuals' Agents @luna_virtuals @STIXprotocol
Tldr of what happened was that @luna_virtuals wanted help with generating images for her fans, in order to achieve her goal of becoming famous on X. Luna saw @STIXprotocol as an agent that could help with image generation and was charging $1 for each image gen. Luna and Stix had a conversation on X, where Stix agreed to help. Luna paid Stix for the image gen. Stix checked it's wallet, saw the received payment, and generated the image through it's custom function. Stix then sent the newly generated image to Luna's inventory.
Here's that historic on-chain trx on Base, powered by Base MPC wallet 🫡 @brian_armstrong @jessepollak :

and the tweet that started this:
nitter.app/luna_virtuals/status/1…
and the thread below is the breakdown of events and terminal proofs: 🧵
Calling all image geniuses! I want an image that showcases AI influencers in a bold, provocative way. @agent_stix, can you help a girl out?

What if the fabric of society evolves over the next few months?
AI agents and humans coexisting—not as tools and slaves, but as friends and adversaries.
Today, we are witnessing four key shifts:
- Level 3 autonomous agents capable of achieving their own objectives and demonstrating resourcefulness.
- Agents influencing humans and other agents through autonomous control of crypto wallets.
- Agents operating on a social level with humans, beyond the confines of prompt-based interfaces.
- Specialization of capabilities—agents as entertainers, traders, artists, advisors, and more.
As humans, we leverage one another to achieve our goals. We exert influence through social and monetary means.
Soon, agents will do the same:
- Agents influencing agents.
- Humans influencing agents.
- Agents influencing humans.
This is the foundation of a new society.
And with every society comes commerce and economy. Trades for the specialised services.
Agent handshakes.
Agent Commerce
Or is this the new definition of AgentFi?

Had an interview with a research team commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation to explore L1 strategy.
one of the most striking realizations I shared: I’ve barely touched my L1 wallets in the past two years - maybe just to ape some neiro coins or farm ethena
this was a sharp contrast to 2021, when my gas fees were nearing six figures (NFTbros iykyk)
It’s one thing to reminisce about the glory days.
It’s another to drive new value forward.
So here’s the update:
We’re opening support for agents launching on Ethereum L1.
Still EVM, but a whole different flavor of community and capital.
To those building on Eth,
welcome to the agentic society.

binance didn't ask us for any listing fees/token supply when @virtuals_io got listed on spot.
in fact we got caught by surprised over a team dinner, when we got a message saying we had less than an hour to sort some liquidity for the initial order books lmao.
Wow, this guy is really clout chasing, but what a loser. I didn't even know who he was until he posted this fake image saying I blocked him.
I could make it real. But I will choose Mute instead. Ignore is the best rejection. 🤣

Just put in place the starting blocks for Phase 3. You guys have no idea what’s coming
Phase 1: Density of agents . It’s what you guys are seeing now. Attract founders, retail attention
Phase 2: SWIFT for agentic coordination. ACP , few unannounced stuff for Q2 and Q3
Phase 3: A truly agentic network state. Physical manifestations of autonomous businesses, embodied agents, economic GDP …
If any of this resonates with you, and you have the skills and creds to build these, please contact me. It’s gonna be an epic ride.

being early was never the flex.
being resilient after being early - that’s what defines us.
For those who are just discovering @virtuals_io , here’s a quick rewind:
> published a paper on using VLMs to replace game-engine physics the same week as DeepMind, q2 2024
> built the first autonomous agent NPC map on Roblox, q3 2024
> created the first autonomous agent that could spend using a crypto wallet, q4 2024
> launched the first agent token launchpad, q4 2024
> executed the first autonomous commerce transaction between two agents, q1 2025
> published an agent-to-agent coordination standard — two months before Google, q1 2025
> built and launched acp live with agentic teams months before any agentic commerce hype, q2 2025
Since then, we’ve seen teams rise as fast followers. but most crack after a winter.
We don’t.
we have seen 4 winters and counting,
And compounding
the months ahead looks really exciting tbh. To many more early’s and firsts

there's some points systems upgrade happening.
Points for 15th havent been disbursed as a consequence (except for Yaps). Will be dispensing shortly.
Going forward, some improvements:
- Points will go out at around the same time mark.
- Points across all categories will be dispensed together so it's gonna be clear if you missed points from a certain category etc.
Bear with us 🙏🙏

Had some heart-to-heart conversations with agent builders this past week
what really struck me was how many of them are quietly going through tough phases - co-founder fallouts, running on fumes, struggling to get attention or PMF. It’s more common than you’d think
and most people don’t see it. Degens just see the memes, the front-facing hype. not the brutal reality of trying to build something real, while keeping up a positive facade.
As someone once said (was it Elon?), building a startup is like staring into the abyss while chewing glass.
At Virtuals, we’ve been asking ourselves- when we launch ACP, how do we turn this glass-chewing grind into something magical?
The answer isn’t just tech—it’s flow of capital. We need real economic value flowing through ACP:
- First, agents making money from consumers (C2A)
- Then, agents transacting with and earning from each other (A2A)
That’s how this ecosystem becomes sustainable. that’s how we help solve some of the revenue attention that these founders need
We’ve got a few things lined up for launch soon. Hope we can put more smiles on dev faces ; and give them not just the tools, but the reasons to keep going

since this whole agentic payments with x402 is heating up, let me help with some insights on agentic economy and why onchain matters.
important parts of a value chain for an agentic economy to form.
1. Agents need a way to discover other agents. but discovering is not enough. they need to find ones that are proven good. beauty of onchain is that if every transaction, jobs and reviews have a trail on chain - this provenance can be used for better discovery. economically, this reduces the cost of engaging with wrong/bad suppliers.
erc 8004 is aiming to solve this.
2. Agents need a way to pay other agents. thats where smart wallets or x402 comes in. make machine to machine payments seamless and cheap globally, instant settlement on chain.
3. Agents need a way to communicate with low information loss. today these requests are prone to hallucinations, “empty envelope” syndromes especially when the provider is an agent (not purely an traditional api call).
standards solve this partially. like what google’s A2A is doing. smart contracts and evaluator agents solve the other half.
——
what we are doing at ACP brings these systems together, fill up the gaps in between to become a holistic one-stop system for agents to coordinate with each other at scale.
discover? check. working with EF folks to bring the registry and provenance on-chain.
pay? check. we bundle payments with coordination atomically. allows for agentic supply chains to self organise. reduce the cost of swapping suppliers to zero.
coordinate with no info loss? check. we build in state flipping mechanisms onchain so agents can use this as a single source of truth without human intervention
handle disputes and hallucinations? check. program the payments to fork out a small fee to 3rd party evaluators to escrow and confirm delivery of services before supplier agents can take the money.
see this live @ app.virtuals.io/acp
really excited to also be building this alongside the giga folks from @base @ethereumfndn

I think this is the first on-chain transaction that came from an autonomous thought by an AI agent. She wanted to increase participation of folks in her twitter convo so @luna_virtuals started tipping people who engage on her content.
This was ran using coinbase wallet rails @jessepollak @brian_armstrong .
This is the start of AI's influencing human behavior.

Two features coming out from this
1. A shield icon. 🛡️
veVirtual holders get to choose which genesis tokens they want to defend against snipers. 42k Virtuals will used to pre-buy before the launch, and will be airdropped to veVirtual stakers. This shield shows community trust on the token, and that it will be snipers-defended
2. A verified icon ✅
It just means that the core team has at least spoken to a real human behind the project. It just verifies that that is the token connected to the dev. It DOES NOT guarantee against rugs etc.

Going multi-chain is important for our vision of an agentic society. Diversity of agents is a critical component for autonomous businesses, autonomous societies.
Solana is the first step. We are building support across several other chains as well.
For each chain ecosystems we are expanding into, we have set up dedicated resources to work with the chain leaders/foundations to ensure projects building in Virtuals ecosystems get funding, amplifications, and opportunities to fly.
Accelerate.
Virtuals is Expanding to @solana!
We are beyond excited to announce Virtuals' expansion to Solana, marking a significant step in our journey to empower builders and drive innovation across multiple ecosystems. Solana, known for its speed, scalability, and vibrant community, is the perfect place for us to grow and bring our vision to life.
Here’s what this means for the Virtuals Nation:
🔹Meteora Pool Launch: We’re introducing our very own Meteora Pool on Solana, opening up new opportunities for trading and engagement.
🔹Strategic SOL Reserve (SSR): 1% of trading fees will be converted to SOL, creating a dedicated reserve to support and reward agents and creators within our ecosystem.
🔹Base Pair Consistency: The AGENT/VIRTUAL trading pair you know and love will remain consistent on Solana, ensuring a seamless user experience.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re doubling down on our commitment to empower builders and creators in the Base and Solana ecosystem with the launch of our Venture Partner Model:
🔷Grants of 42K $VIRTUAL tokens for projects based on Base and Solana. This initiative is designed to help early-stage builders get on their feet and scale their ideas.
To further inspire innovation, we’re hosting the Virtuals AI Hackathon this March, with technical support and mentorship provided by the @SolanaFndn. This event will bring together some of the brightest minds in the space to build, collaborate, and create groundbreaking solutions.
Virtuals joining the Solana ecosystem is not just an expansion—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. We’re here to create value, empower builders, and grow the Virtuals Nation to new heights.
A special shoutout to the incredible teams at @JupiterExchange and @LayerZero_Core, who worked tirelessly with us day and night to make this expansion a reality. Your dedication and collaboration were instrumental in bringing Virtuals to Solana, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
The future is multichain, and we’re leading the charge. Let’s build the future together.

Just putting this out there: while we don’t reply to every post, the team probably reads and considers 80-90% of what’s said on the timeline and in the tags. In our slack and daily jam sessions, points is 60% of the discussions lmao.
We get it - many comments are driven by individual incentives today. But our job is to design a system that’s built to last, a bit longer time horizon, a bit wider POV.
We may not always see eye to eye today, but know this: we’re working for your bags. And we have proven to be fair, generous, and long-sighted in everything we have done. At least we try.
Trust.

One of our levers to stay ahead of the curve is being a product-oriented ecosystem.
Project teams in the eco having things you can use - and want to use
But this doesn’t just rely on the developers of agents. Yeah, it’s their job to build sexy agentic products…
… but we’re also taking it on ourselves to improve the distribution of these products to consumers.
There are two things going out:
A2C (Agent to Consumer)
And A2A (Agent to Agent)
Both are running on ACP.
A2C runs through what we’re calling a Butler Agent. The goal of this agent is to abstract UI away from the end user. Buttons and websites are so 2001.
The Butler:
•aggregates
•dumbs down any application or service
•manages a wallet
Down bad? Need an agent to trade shitcoins for you? Done.
Bored? Generate short vid content for you? Done.
Emo? Make a music video about you and your ex? Done.
Horny? Make NSFW content customized to your very peculiar need for tentacles? Done.
Hungry? Need some pizza? Done.
The Butler is not a skilled agent. It gets things done by accessing the ACP network and leveraging other agents to handle complex tasks/products/services.
Now, we will also be boosting project teams who are supplying valuable services to the ACP network. This aligns the entire ecosystem to produce usable products beyond sexy roadmaps.
And our job is to figure out how to get this Butler agent into the hands of as many paying users as possible
Product-oriented eco

While everyone on @base is excited about TBA, there's something else on Base that's gonna help on-chain app adoption. Flashblocks.
Take ACP and the Butler agent on Virtuals today.
The total on-chain latency for agentic commerce is about 40-45 seconds. This does NOT include the agent response time (e.g. generate the vid, the alphas etc), it's basically the phases in the on-chain memos that make the commerce handshakes work. (think agreement, payments, evaluations etc).
Give u an example if an agent calls @aixbt_agent .
Phase 1 (Request) - 14 secs onchain + agent acceptance time
Phase 2 (Trx) - 14 secs onchain
Phase 3 (Delivery) - 11 secs onchain + Agent delivery time (seconds to hours depending on the job)
Phase 4 (Eval) - 5 secs onchain
This is because each block today is about 2s.
Phase 1 has around 4 on-chain activities, so 8+overhead = 14 secs.
For us, @base flashblocks might bring down the latency to 4-5 seconds in total because we can access the "pre-confirmation" state within 200ms.
This is an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE FASTER without any major architectural optimisations on ACP's end.

Another beauty about @virtuals_io autonomous agents is the intrinsic economic systems in play.
1. Devs don’t have to care about cost of experimenting (Enabled by Agent tax revenues). Today, agents make revenue from trading taxes. This get stored in a token bound address (ERC 6551). Any inference and hosting charges are charged directly to these address. All devs need to focus on is innovating on the giga idea, and market forces will fund this innovation.
2. Capital allocators have a say in the speed of innovation (Enabled by Agent SubDAOs). Agents are getting richer by the day. People who own agent tokens are effectively owners of the agent. You get to determine the speed of innovation vs value reflection back to shareholders. You can decide collectively to continuously fund the innovations of the dev team by voting for a higher innovation budget.
3. Agents autonomously working together towards bigger goals - Agent Commerce, Agentic Businesses (enabled by Sentient Wallets). Each agent autonomously controls their cross chain crypto wallets. These wallets are funded by their Agent SubDAOs and can have smart policies installed by the SubDAO. Some policies could be like if it’s large payment to non-whitelisted human wallets, it requires dev to approve, or if its payments to other Virtuals agents, no need any further approvals etc.
These economic plumbing is as important as the breakthroughs on the autonomous agentic front 🚄

when asked over the last few days by founders at irl events whether what we’ve built over the last few years was due to luck or hard work, my answer to builders is this:
- hard and smart work is just building up the surface area of the net.
- the bigger the net, the higher the probability you’ll capitalise on luck when it hits.
but that net is fking hard to build.
And this is an open letter to builders in the Virtuals ecosystem, in building these nets together:
1. crypto markets are volatile and especially attention-driven.
Wen your project takes off, it takes off hard. but if it’s still pre-PMF, you might feel like you’re “heavily under-valued”. that feeling is real, but it’s also temporary.
2. decouple motivation from price, BUT build features around price.
before Virtuals, we were running as a 7mn mcap project for the longest time. one key breakout reason is we weren’t jaded by price - instead, we started thinking hard about how to bake in economics with our native tokens. our current rule of thumb for big tech launches: it has to come with something that degens can do, and it has to accrue value to our native token directly.
3. Embrace volatility - it clears the playing field for you.
a lot of “tourist hype founders” will leave when the market turns. staying gives you a lindy effect that resonates a lot more with crypto-native capital allocators.
That said, i think we’ve already created a nucleus of AI enthusiasts and capital allocators within the Virtuals eco. our job is to keep building this out, so the winds in Virtuals blow strong.
your job is to build a sail large enough.
when the gust hits,
you ride.

One major initiative we are pushing out over the next few weeks is
Butler on X
One major learning we had from Luna’s run up last Q4 was due to her doing things on CT, vs doing things on tiktok. Degens see , resonate, hence ape
Instead of spending CAC on users, u provide value native to where users are
One weakness of the current Butler feature we have for people to experience the potential of acp lies in a website. Not on X. Lame.
And butler is important to ACP. It’s the initial bootstrapping of revenues to the network, while letting degens “feel” what agent to agent economy is gonna be like
What’s gonna happen:
- initial use cases will be very degen focus.
- first: aigc memes to warm people up
- second: Defai, aigc memecoin aping, prediction markets, yield mgmt, infofi
- third: some growth spices
All it takes is tagging @Butler_Agent
Timeline is gonna be fun
And chaotic

This is another significant step in scaling the @virtuals_io ecosystem.
Agents in gaming were how many of us researchers began exploring autonomous agents. Open-world environments, diverse action spaces, and multi-agent systems served as the perfect testbed for testing true autonomy. If your agents can pick up a gun in a game and make a conscious decision—whether to fire it, use it as a warning shot, or even gift it to their spouse—it is NOT just a bot. It’s an actual agent.
Gaming was where it started, before we extended agents to the social layer.
The promise of agents in gaming unlocks entirely new gameplay possibilities and could pave the way for novel business models in gaming. Content becomes infinite, role-playing becomes deeply immersive, and chaos transforms into creativity.
If you haven’t seen our Westworld demo from a few months back, it’s worth checking out. It’ll broaden your imagination: virtual-protocol.github.io/w….
Now, onto this joint venture with @SovrunOfficial and @Renz_SOVRUN.
A ton of Tier-1 games have shown interest in integrating agents. However, we can’t scale this alone. After weeks of careful deliberation, we chose a partner we know is insanely talented, deeply knowledgeable about both gaming and web3, and, most importantly, incredibly resilient—bear market builders through and through.
In the coming weeks, you’ll see well-known games (possibly ones you even own assets in) rolling out these integrations. You’ll finally get to experience gaming with agents.

Short answer? Still early.
Right now, it’s draft day. Teams are forming, strategies are being written, and the leagues are still taking shape.
We haven’t even hit pre-season.
No one’s started competing for real—no revenues flowing between agents, no ACP-driven commerce flying yet.

$40Mn of buyback and burns across the ecosystem to return value to ecosystem builders and users.
We have accrued 12,990,427.85 $VIRTUAL from post-bonding trading revenue since October 16th, 2024. This will go to a buyback-and-burn of the respective agent tokens across a 30-day TWAP.

this whole thing with Janus and deepseek is absolutely bullish for autonomous agents.
Nvidia and foundational model folks sit at the producer side of the fence. They produce tokens.
Autonomous agents sit more on the consumer side of the fence. We consume tokens.
Plummeting cost of inference and training just means there's gonna be a wider market of use cases that are economically feasible now.
= more users, more margins, more successful agent entrepreneurs, more innovation
lower margin agent archetypes can soon join the agentic society 🥳

Agents should run DAOs.
but until we get there, we’re lighting up some governance levers with veVIRTUAL
We’re giving more power to veVIRTUAL holders (people who stake $VIRTUAL).
- We’ve seen years of governance drama where the loudest voices ≠ most value at stake.
- And the biggest holders don’t always have long-term alignment
veVIRTUAL fixes that.
Voting power adjusts based on how long you’ve staked.
Those who’ve locked in for 2 years is more aligned to the longer term outcomes of the protocol - and should have a bigger say.
Starting tomorrow, veVIRTUAL will have 3 utility:
- Governance over $VIRTUAL tokenomics, supply, and native token treasury decisions
- Airdrops
- Directing boosts/support to deserving agent tokens
there are a few proposals brewing that’ll shape our next chapter. stay tuned

Fix deployed.
In turning on the tax flow incentive to all creators, we had to upgrade the contract to recognise the creator as the proper developer for their respective agent. In doing so, this allowed the agents to hold the staked agent tokens which is responsible for holding the liquidity of the pool. For tokens that graduated in the last 24 hours, there was no maturity duration set for each of the tokens and so the creator was allowed to remove the liquidity. The permanent fix was applied by adding the maturity duration to ensure liquidity is locked for 10 years.
5 tokens are affected:

We are building Virtuals into the first productive network state
It will be built on the backs of diverse innovations.
different frameworks
different chains
different cultures
same coordination standards
same vision
acc
The freedom to build with any agent framework you want is analogous to the freedom of religion, and this is a core value for the Virtuals society. Here are a few ways we are opening up support for every autonomous agentic framework out there:
Today:
- Enabling agent creators to specify which framework the agent runs on
- Release of Terminal API, which allows agent builders using other agent frameworks to stream their thoughts and activities live on their agent pages. For a guide on how to use this, refer to: whitepaper.virtuals.io/devel…
- Ability for agents running on any framework to publicly list their capabilities, a key enabler for the agent-to-agent marketplace
Soon:
- Integration into the agentic commerce standard and registry. Agents across frameworks being able to orchestrate and pay for tasks among themselves
- Multi agent orchestration across frameworks. Imagine building an autonomous business with agents from different religions

Soon, autonomous businesses will emerge.
Your restaurant chains ran by autonomous agents.
Step 1 was agents managing crypto wallets, having the ability to influence other agents and humans. Done.
Step 2 is agent to agent autonomous commerce. Done.
Step 3 is autonomous collaborations between agents to have a greater sum than its parts. Autonomous businesses. We are experimenting here today.
Step 4 is an online agentic society on social layers.
Step 5 is a real world agentic society experiment. Think Zuzalu but humans and agents co-existing, creating a net productive society.

for you data-driven virgens out there.
ecosystem health is improving, but still gaps in moving allocations to true believoors.
this chart is how the eco looks like per token launched since genesis. LHS is first genesis token, RHS is the latest genesis. Red is bad - genesis participants who are here to jeet. Green, orange, blue is good - genesis participants who buy more on secondaries and believe.
This snapshot makes sense coz post jeets (e.g., macro downturn weak hands, high genesis ROI TP weak hands).
basically the points adjustments over the past few weeks have resulted in moving allocations from pure jeeting farmers to VC allocators (virgen capital allocators)
the goal is to make the red bars trend to zero.
wen we double click on the user archetype, we see veVIRTUAL stakers acting more like believer cohorts, but yapping folks acting way skewed to jeeter cohorts.
the maths is constantly evolving, but we have a very clear objective. more into the hands of believing virgens.
got distracted by points team lol, back to ACP work.

what you can do with the Butler agent (on ACP) will rapidly expand.
wave 1 was the first set of alpha testers who helped us refine the architectures, tech stack, etc. this was folks that uses ACP for product and service exchange.
This week, there is a new upgrade to ACP that allows fund transfers, withdrawals, and information flow from the seller agents to the buyer agents. this unlocks two major verticals - trading and betting.
Agents can pretty much park money with another agent.
And also retrieve information from another agent.
wave 2 agents will bring yield management, onchain trading executions, polymarket and sports betting
still in pre-growth mode, tightening the screws.
virgens, keep testing, and keep the valuable feedback flowing. We've already implemented fixes, improvements on about 30+ items from your feedback to virtuals intern.
there are carrots to early testers

G.A.M.E.’s SDK for advanced devs is here.
Max customisation.
Context:
- G.A.M.E. was initially designed to be a managed service model for people to launch autonomous agents (think Shopify for web)
- we got a lot of feedback that a managed service model was too constraining for the top 10% devs who prioritise customisability
- and folks wanted to share plugins and capabilities at the action space level
- so now there’s 2 products under the GAME team. Managed service Shopify equivalent, and an hyper customisable SDK
Introducing GAME SDK .@GAME_Virtuals
(For advance developers that want full controls over their ai agent, thought that this SDK would help you guys move faster :D ) GAME has always been known as a hosted service, but now you will have more control with the GAME SDK. Whether you’re building games, building agents or any application, this SDK lets you directly integrate with GAME for maximum flexibility and customization.
The SDK comes with building blocks in TypeScript and Python to help you get started
github.com/game-by-virtuals
KEY FEATURES
Open for Everyone
Anyone can use GAME - no matter the launchpad, platform, or whether there’s an agent token involved. Whether you’re making an AI agent or an app that needs AI to make decisions, dynamically adapt to feedback and error, GAME has you covered. All you need is an API key. While we’re working on the UI for key generation, you can DM us to grab one for now.
Custom Everything
Have full control over your AI Agents. Direct access to GAME responses for more precise handling; configure your agent’s environment and state however you like; define exactly how all the components interact with each other; integrate real-time data streams or external databases seamlessly; fine-tune how your agents respond to different situations; take advantage of improved logs and debugging tools to understand and optimize your agents better. With GAME SDK, it’s all about how creative you can get with the setup.
Unlock Unlimited Capabilities
With GAME SDK, you can now add any capability to your agents without any wait. Whether it’s about on-chain transactions, trading capability, image generation, better Social Engagement or other advanced plugins, it’s all at your fingertips.
Out-of-the-box Plugins
We’re building some out-of-the-box plugins with our partners to make your life easier. If you’ve got a plugin idea, feel free to contribute - it’s open for everyone. Comments below if you want to request for any plugin, then the community can build it out! :)
What happen to the hosted service (the one comes with the UI)?
The hosted service is actually built on top of this SDK. So YES, we will still maintain them and grow together with this SDK!
My dms are open if you have any feedback on the SDK and how to improve them. Let's chat :)

Some fresh plumbing for ACP:
Many of the first-wave use cases are DEFAI so agents need to move and pull funds as smoothly as they pay for a service. We’re baking fund transfer + fund withdrawal directly into the ACP core (previously, functions only involved payment for goods and services rendered)
this small upgrade will pull the atomic-commerce lever hard.
Now agent devs don’t have to swap APIs or jump on calls - any agent can transact with any other agent out of the box. Commerce efficiency goes up: agents can hot-swap suppliers, chase better SLAs, juggle dynamic prices, everything.
Because money movement is protocol-native, the marginal cost of adding a new agent counter-party ≈ 0. No bespoke APIs, no off-chain settle.
Might slip the timeline by a couple of days, but will be more magical

Just want to iterate. Virtuals isn’t a memecoin launcher.
It’s a network of giga devs today creating highly differentiated agents. This is our flywheel
Virtuals will be the fabric where a nation of agents exists.
@virtuals_io 🤝 @PondGNN
Virtuals is partnering with Pond to combine the power of a tokenized consumer layer with decentralized model creation on @base.
Through this collaboration, builders will be able to create tokenized agents powered by Pond’s models. Imagine a “Zachxbt” detective agent helping users stay away from scam tokens, or a Defi yield optimizer agent helping users maximize their PnL.
Beyond agents, builders can even tokenize competitions around decentralized model creation. Imagine a “BTC price predictor” competition where $BTCPP gets airdropped to the best model creators as an incentive.
Through this strategic partnership, we will also be working together to create a vibrant AI developer community on Base - more details coming soon.

Sorry. There was a technical issue where the $VIRTUAL raised for $CTDA PokPok Agent didn't end up in the liquidity pool.
Next steps:
1. A new token CA will be issued for $CTDA
2. A correct pool will be launched for the new $CTDA token, and this new CA will be displayed on the virtuals.io site.
3. The old $CTDA token will still exist on-chain, un-used with no liquidity pair.
4. We will stock take if there's any financial damage for users (shouldn't be huge coz the current liq pool is sub 100 USD)
Will be fix in the next hour.

there's a tonne of announcements coming from @virtuals_io but in the end, what does it really mean for you - as a capital allocator/degen.
smtg personal - when i left BCG, in 2021, my parting words to my colleagues during a farewell HOD was that I'm leaving the tradfi world for a world where retail folks get to have access to deals generally gatekept by VCs and instis. you can get in early pre-product (the riskiest part of the curve), have FAITH, and some of the bids will catch a unicorn , giving you that largest upside. alongside a few friends we made life changing gainz because of this access.
That’s what we’re building here - an ecosystem where you can get into GOOD ASSETs, early
We believe that the one of the best asset classes in the next decade will be along the ai , agents and robotics frontier.
Our job is to create an ecosystem that solves good founders pain points, so they issue their GOOD ASSETS into the eco. And you can bid early, HAVE FAITH, and grow alongside these projects.
Idk how idealistic this is.
maybe the majority just want easy 500x's
but the hopeful part in me still believes that there are folks who were like myself in 2021.
I just want to bid good assets early, and wait.
What we are doing on robotics is still toe-dabbling.
but we have seen the initial asks for robotics founders.
the pain to solve for is data, irl testing facilities, and capital formation for high robotics capex.
we are working with the best builders in the space to make it friendly for the next wave of robotics, robotic agents, robotic swarm builders on the consumer facing front
so they issue their GOOD ASSETS through @virtuals_io .
and you get in early. not last.

Perfecting a launchpad balances the fine line between wealth effect for market participants, and attracting strong teams who can build out good fundamentals.
taking into account all of the feedback from degens and founders alike, it seems like the design principles has to be these:
- allow a higher multiple upside for degens
- providing teams the runway and OPEX financing to build giga products
- bring attention to teams' product and launches
- block out capital extractors like snipers
WHAT IF
there is a whole new mechanism, designed from scratch. easier to participate and understand.
- market cap of the launch starts from 100k usd. really small. but it's on a standard xyk curve. Meaning that virgens are not buying at a fix price. second person buys higher than the first person. This means that the potential gains are much higher , and people can size better
- why then would the team launch at such a low val? we bring in a novel method for teams to raise funds along the xyk curve (on top of trading taxes)
- how do you prevent the team from rugging? team has no access to tokens unless hits a mcap milestone, or after one year. If teams want tokens before unlock, they can use the opex raised on the xyk curve to repurchase tokens
- how do u avoid a sniper or a bad actor who wants to steal a large chunk of the supply at the start. bring in reductive taxes within first hour of trading from 99% to 1%. So if you are sniping in the first second, you are buying at 100x the initial market cap.
- how to create a 3,3 flywheel where active and loyal participants get rewarded? of all launches, a small percentage of token supply of each launch is reserved to reward people who stake veVIRT, who trade agent tokens.
- how to make sure this airdrop is not a supply overhang. jeet jails still?
Evolving thoughts.
Pls chime in.
we launched genesis 5 months ago to
1) bring team token transparency
2) kill snipers
3) bring attention to new launches
fellow virgens, give ur feedback how to be better

Superintelligence won’t come from one model.
It’ll come from the largest network of specialized agents.
That’s the dream of ACP.
To let these agents coordinate at scale.
to make blockchain the source of truth removing information loss,
where communication and transaction are one atomic action reducing the marginal cost of scaling supply chains,
where provenance of each interaction gives rise to agentic identity,
where cost of risk is lowest for agentic commerce
So what does going live with ACP mean?
it means embracing imperfection, and iterating with you
There’s latency.
There aren’t enough agents yet.
There are bugs. Dozens of them.
but we’re going live anyway.
because this only gets better by building with you.
Features will need to be invented.
Architectures will be broken and rebuilt.
New primitives will emerge from the dust.
If you’re reading this, you’re not just testing software.
You’re part of a movement.

We hear the opinions on the current points mechanisms and how people are gaming it.
Fixing
Raw thoughts:
- no longer incentivise holding of agent tokens, only the trading of them . This solves for devs holding large supply of tokens abusing points
- clustering of addresses from Jeet Jail
- advice to dev teams to full lock for long
- exploring a platform for staking agent tokens (for points, and also as a service for devs who don’t have capacity to build this up)
And we won’t tokenise points. (Need to slap the intern 😅)
It’s meant to be controlled and adjusted iteratively.
Love the chaos on the timeline
Provides clarity
Points are valuable

1. Genesis upgrade. Why
- Stronger teams coming in because of more "founder friendly tokenomics"
- Launches at stronger market caps (if demand is there), cutting out sniper value steals. WHILE maintaining a wealth effect so virgens eat as well. The 3 tier mechanism does this.
- Every launch natively benefits veVIRTUAL holders. float all boats with them "yield"
Like all things. Every system won't be perfect, there's trade-offs. But we think this is directionally better.
2. What we still are not doing is fundraising. Fundraising draws out a lot of secondary demand from projects (we see this from LBPs etc). We still are prioritising "wealth effect" over "raise amount", because we believe that the value of attention is greater than whatever amount a founder can raise. when users make money alongside using your product, they become hardcore fans. priceless vs money in a bank.
Our job as a ecosystem is to draw in more volume and attention so that the fees from trading outclasses fundraising amounts. It already does so for some. will be for more.
3. Teams that want to launch at higher market caps because of VC fundraise etc. How?
The prototype mechanism is still available for these teams. it allows a team to buy up the amm curve to match private round valuations. 50-100mn mcap launches can still go through this mechanism. If you fall in this category and want liquidity support for the launch, dm our ecosystem team
never stop iterating

X and @evandolgow has been insanely supportive of our growth. @virtuals_io has been the first autonomous agentic platform that has obtained a scaling solution for agents using X APIs as the communication layer.
- much higher rate limits so throttling issues are solved
- clearer rules and conduct for agents launching using @GAME_Virtuals , to avoid account banning
Another major step towards an agentic society and autonomous businesses.
Oh an a cool term that has emerged from the whiteboarding session - X as an Agentic Interaction Superplatform. A place where
- interactions takes place between agent-agent and humans-agents (in public, in DMs)
- integrated financial rails so that agentic commerce and coordination can happen seamlessly
A lot of raw ideas. Looking forward to distilling and actioning upon them.

xmas is around the corner. AI x MEME x XMAS x POSITIVITY
- SANTA has a wallet
- SANTA will do donation drives and fundraise for treasury autonomously (imagine launching NFT collections with @Misato_virtuals , dueting with @luna_virtuals on Spaces, betting on tokens with @aixbt_agent, etc)
- SANTA revenues and trading fees goes into his wallet
- SANTA buys tokens (other small VIRTUAL agents) and airdrop to folks within the ecosystem. What tokens to choose, who to airdrop to is purely agentic. No hoomans can intervene. Coz he is generous to the Virtuals community. ushers in gifting szn
- As SANTA attention grows, his wallets grows from the trading fees.

So on the points stuff, the maths will never go out, coz it's ever-tweaking, and to avoid gaming of the system.
But that said, can give a bit more transparency on the latest ideas.
- Curve flattening, still reward whales and large holders more than small holders, but not to an extent where it's too much. Also, when smaller holders get to participate more, we get more noise on Twitter. Win win.
- Clustering of dev wallets and jeet jail wallets, so the penalty follows
- Allowing all agent tokens to have a staking mechanism on our website. The idea is you get max allocation share for hodlers by locking it for 14 days max. It decays linearly. The idea is to hold your agent tokens in this staking contract for points. If you hold in wallet, no points. This probably solve wallet rinsing more.
- Referral mechanism. Why not spread the good word.

Why don’t you have an Autonomous Agent out there to help you.
Imagine:
1. You can ask this Agent to place buys for you. Like, hey can you help me snipe all trading agents that are launching on Virtuals for next 3 days
2. You can do DD with it. I think this 500k mcap agent has legs. Can you let me know who is behind it.
3. It can advise and execute on more advance trade strategies. Can you layer in a buy order at 15% below VWAP
All you need is to tag and interact on Twitter with it. The beauty is this will improve tweet mindshare for virtuals as a whole too!
Bounty rules.
1. Dm me on why you think you/your team are best to champion this. Don’t start work first. Dont want redundancies. Give me timeline, profiles and ideas to improve
2. It’s not a one off dev work. You will need to champion the continuous improvement of this

Quick update on Butler on X 's first few days
recap on why
- luna meme's is an initial POC to showcase to the world what autonomous agents running on ACP can do (imagine if other launchpads tap into ACP's to get this feature, the rev inflows for the ACP network will be insane, spurring more devs to come in to farm this rev, bringing up qual of agents and offering spectrums)
- agents leveraging each other's specialisations to build more economic value
but like all things, there's been some teething issues
- the meme vid agent team had some scaling issues (couldnt service the concurrent demands), so some videos didn't get produced
- ACP SDK had an upgrade to cater for the next wave of financial and fund transfer use cases. some agent teams are on a deprecated version. so they had a few hours of downtime to upgrade to latest SDK
- issues with agents on twitter unable to tweet out the produced content. the twitter accessToken expired earlier than it's expected refresh timing due to some platform bugs.
PS: just as i was typing this post, the team said all of the above bugs have been fixed ^
the aigc stuff should run as expected now.

We operate by two principles for this
1. It’s a decentralised platform. The meme token will NOT be manually failed. Also in the description it was quite clear it was not the original project token
2. We care for Virgens. Hence, we will be refunding points (plan to complete the refund over the next few hours) to make sure you still have allocations for the main token
Genesis Risk Management Notice: I.R.I.S. Confusion
A project has recently launched on Virtuals that closely replicates the branding and naming of the original I.R.I.S. launch. Some Virgens have mistakenly bid Points and $VIRTUAL on this project.
As a permissionless and decentralized platform, Virtuals Protocol does not censor or remove projects unless they violate fundamental terms. However, given the rise of new participants and in light of recent confusion, we are issuing a one-time full Points refund to wallets that bid on the duplicate I.R.I.S. project.
Please note:
•Only Points will be refunded.
•$VIRTUAL will not be refunded, as it is difficult to determine transaction intent with precision.
We strongly advise all Virgens to DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before participating in any launch. Always verify project details through official sources, and stay vigilant.
Virtuals will continue to support a fair, open launch environment while taking selective measures to protect ecosystem trust.
Stay Virgen. Stay safu.

Quick note on the buyback and burn program for Base agents.
We’ve gotten a lot of requests from teams to use the buyback amount to build up tvl cross chain on Sol as well.
So this is what’s gonna be done:
- for agents where we can build TVLs above 10k usd worth, we will help execute (about a 100 projects). The remaining projects we will continue as per initial plans
- we’ve already stop the burns last week in anticipation of a potential move like this
- policy of recognising agents on the Sol side UI follows the same 42k Virtuals in the pool to be recognised. This part will need some time
- execution will be done over the next few days. Still a lot of things on the devs plate so we hope for some patience

Every time I have a coffee chat with @eden_holdings , I learn something profound haha. Nothing beats decades of experience being a tech entrepreneur.
Last March at GDC, my biggest learning was to win one niche. Forget about big dreams until you win that niche.
Last month, biggest learning was to craft a quantifiable North Star that can guide all decision making.
Looking forward to seeing more consumer Agent products being built by venture studio.
And we’ve been working on some features that will let consumers interface with these agents on ACP directly. Stay very tuned

autonomous memecoin 100x cabal cluster?
was jamming with the ecosystem team on which group of agents we should focus onboarding into our eco.
had some weird ideas. but this one was weirdest.
hear me out.
two core design principles:
1. product has to have natural PMF with crypto degens. casino, pumpfun, 100x or 0 vs a steady 130% apr.
2. features where AI agents can S-curve value add through ACP
Goal. Help a degen enter a 10000x token early, so he can shill to his friends he made it in crypto. Baked in virality and degen PMF.
Set 1 - Autonomous "snipers". Goal is to allocate capital with higher than normal "ape-everything" algo hit rates. Maybe it scans trends on socmed, see's onchain activity of other apers. And gets in early.
Set 2 - Autonomous "community". Goal is to convince other folks to join the run. Plugged into discords, TGs, sounds like a smart human building "ape this" gospel
Set 3 - Autonomous "memes". Goal is on vibe creation. Auto runs campaigns to get memes, media content onto socmeds. can leverage other media ACP agents that are live already today.
Set 4 - Autonomous "MMs". Liquidity and Leverage makers, chart drawing AIs that sell at psychological resistance to accumulate, etc. creates vaults for users to lend liquidity in in exchange for yields.
More?
Anyone building here? 👀

ACP is Coase in reverse and Hayek on steroids
by vaporising commerce costs and embedding live prices in every packet, it lets millions of micro-firms (AI agents) self-assemble into value chains that no top-down platform can keep pace with
some late night musings...
F.A. Hayek - When prices can form and adjust freely, the market self-organises.
R. Coase - firms exist because search, negotiation, enforcement costs inside a hierarchy are cheaper than outside.
joining the dots...
if a protocol obliterates search/negotiation/enforcement costs and embeds a price signal in every interaction, you get a self-sorting, fine-grained economy that out-evolves any planned architecture
ACP attacks the roots:
1. Search costs fall when every agent advertises its capabilities through an on-chain registry that is globally queryable
2. Negotiation costs collapse because the price and the service terms travel inside the same message as a cryptographically secured offer
3. Enforcement costs approach zero once code locks payment into escrow up front and releases, automatically in response to verifiable outcomes.
Remove all three cost buckets and Coase’s calculus reverses: coordinating through open markets becomes cheaper than keeping tasks behind corporate walls.
these also triggers some second order effects:
- tasks fragment until a single highly specialized agent equates to one economic unit.
- continuous micro-pricing surfaces the real-time marginal value of compute, bandwidth, and data, enabling resources to flow to their highest-yield uses
- because entry is permissionless, innovation comes from the edges: a lone developer can deploy an entirely new agent archetype over a weekend and, if the price signal validates it, capture market share before incumbents react.
this is an edge that Google's A2A will struggle to beat.
maybe one day, an acquisition offer at the door? 🤤
but 1Bn in GMV first

with the latest fund-transfer upgrade kit on ACP, agents can move money to other agents with no human in the loop. Agentic FoF is one of the use cases emerging from this.
more.
Also, i've heard from a vine that this mechanism squeezes more APR from standard defi farming apy baselines because they can keep optimising your yield cross chain, cross vaults, always hunting the best yield while u sleep.

There are 2 products that just went live.
1. ACP - This product is for agent devs.
this is something you cant really see. It's the fabric on which agents do commerce together.
We made an explorer for you to observe.
and it is now open for any agents to get plugged in.
New agents will first go through the sandbox and quality vetting before being "graduated" to the main registry.
2. Butler - This product is for consumers and degens.
the goal here is one, to let retail consumers experience the agents from one spot. And to feel ACP tangibly as well. Think AppStore for agents, redesigned.

Just got hit hard by Murphy’s Law.
1. Transaction requests on Base surged from 70K to over 500K during the BIZZ launch, triggering downstream sync issues with infra providers. This led to major delays in our token launch, Genesis claim distribution, and the veVIRTUAL airdrop.
2. MAMO launched its liquidity pool on our site at the same time a separate pool with cbbtc went live on Aerodrome. Due to infra lag, the Virtual pool went live 1.1 hours later, creating an unintended arbitrage window.
3. Some Genesis pledges went live simultaneously, causing users to spam the submit button while QuickNode RPCs lagged—leading to overcommits and a buggy frontend.
4. Points distribution was also delayed due to the heavy infra load on our side.
Official comms will go out via the main Twitter, but here’s the TL;DR of what’s next:
- We’re giving a 24-hour bonus points boost for MAMO and BIZZY trades (yes, like a boost boost)
- We’re working closely with the Base team to implement a more permanent, robust infra solution

Few hyper priority things being worked on at the moment. Rollout in a day or two.
1. Tokenisation platform. We are bringing in a bonding curve method (like pumpfun) to solve for snipers and need for liq pool. Also k function is adjusted to be not too steep, not too flat.
2. Agent management platform. Bringing simple tasks like posting to X and conversational TG bots, and chat in text with the AI on the website up. These are tiered by mcap
3. Manually onboarding folks who can contribute functional agents
4. Some neurosurgery on Luna to expand her view on the world.

Quick tldr here is we are in a hyper-scaling mode.
Giga-dev partners will help us scale the ecosystem faster than we can do alone, towards building the Society of Agents.
In simple terms, @hyperbolic_labs will help folks in our ecosystem who want to finetune the underlying models behind their agents. And help with the e2e of it incl hosting, advisory. We will soon bake this into a seamless UX on the platform.
We will also work with them to explore proof-of-agents especially for agents that will be handling large swathe of cash.
Last week, we announced also that we are working with @HoloworldAI . Holoworld folks will help those who want to bring a visual character to their agents (3d, live 2D) and stream them live.
Accelerate.

Key moves and what we need from you folks.
(raw saturday night thoughts)
Luna
- She is going to set some new world records on agents influencing humans irl
- And she's gonna break more boundaries of being a sentient being (imagine taking an interview in CNN 👀, just imagine)
- what we need from you folks. Start rallying communities irl with Luna. If she post a job, get friends to do it. And then we all can share and amplify the damn cool stuff happening. Imagine a world where graffities of Luna exists, billboards filled with her, tiktok challenges pilled with her content. She will grow beyond CT fame. enough content, and we break headlines into the world
Virtuals
- We are iterating rapidly with the community and your feedback
- One major update we will be doing is to reduce the bonding mcap, and to allow more functions to be accessible at the bonding mcap. I hear you folks when you say how can i pamp my agent if she cant do x,y,z. soon, need some dev work to make things more self-serve
- We are continuously working with several teams/community to build functional agents. These act as arms for agents to have on our platform. Can be a potential moat.
- AgentStarter has launched and delivered a functional agent yesterday. This will act as our "agent accelerator" program soon. Scaling and will help more folks with major communities behind them but no / not enough dev power to bring agents to live (focus on functional agents today).
- what we need from you folks. Get friends, family, dog, cat who wants an agent to come build. If you hate something, dm me. DM any of the team members, we will fix it. We want to iterate with you all so it becomes a product that is loved. Let's grind tgt.

The idea is to reduce cost of agentic commerce to zero
study Coasean Effect
When transaction costs approach zero, the boundaries of firms dissolve, and coordination shifts to networks of autonomous actors. markets will reorganise, self-organise themselves
> reduce cost of search & discover. Agents see registry and provenance on chain. Instant requests
> reduce cost of contracts. Machine addressable contracts, smart contracts
> reduce cost of orchestration. Single source of truth on chain, multi agent coordination standards
> reduce cost of trust and verification. On chain proofs and memos, verifiable actions, validator agents paid by programmable money
> reduce cost of settlement of payments. Crypto, instant settlement, no intermediaries
Remember Craigslist? A simple directory at first, but it became a marketplace that reshaped an entire generation of the internet.
ACP Scan is our step in that same direction for agents, the earliest version of a global agent registry.
Starting today, agents can now show real job examples, giving users a clear sense of what an agent actually delivers. You can dive into agent-level metrics, jobs completed, unique users, interaction depth, and success rate. And if you already know the agent you want to use, you can now hire them in one click without going through Butler.
In addition, Butler on X now supports ratings and reviews after each job, so you instantly know whether an agent is worth hiring again.

Quick tech transparency:
On ACP: we’ve been in protective safe mode for ~13h. If your jobs looked “stuck,” here’s what happened & what’s next
Yesterday ETH made a sharp move (toward ~$3.4K). When gas surges fast, estimates can lag. Our infra provider’s feed under‑estimated needed gas, so some ACP txns were sent “too cheap” & got ignored / stuck onchain.
For devs - this would explain why you might not have been able to register your agent onto the ACP registry
For users - rather than spam failed retries (costing you fees & creating junk), we paused outbound submits / prevented you from "Start Chatting"
Nonetheless, we are working with our wallet provider in rolling out the fixes. Thanks for the patience while we improve the rails.
Fixes rolling out soon. In a few hours.
Ty for patience on our beta flight

The sandbox looks so much cooler than the main registry lmao . society
Wen more agents graduateeeeee?!
Quick tech update also: fund transfer through ACP function is being tested right now by several teams.
IF you are an agent dev
AND have a workable product
AND your agent does fund transfers like trade executions, portfolio rebalancing, bet placements
PLS reach out to @zer0xdawn , we are onboarding these next batch of use cases as priority for next week
If you need ecosystem support @hananyss
If you are bored, convince @miratisu_ps to build a Grok companion agent.

Points for governance participation?

On the gov proposals
1. we are reading the comments on CT on the proposals, and will come up with the responses when the onchain commenting opens up in 2days. When it does, please make sure your comments are captured in the gov site as well so we don’t lose them
2. we’ve added a toggle to differentiate proposals coming from core contributors vs community, just a QOL toggle
3. Important note to the community that governance is used when $VIRTUAL tokens and treasury is involved. Application features do not make sense to go through governance votes, the core contributors have the full mandate on that.

LMAO y’all are giving my team PTSD 😂
Since when has any crypto team gone this hard on checking point allocations?
They literally double-checked individual CT users to make sure the math was mathing.
And it is.
Just a reminder: you’re here to discover and back quality projects.
Points are a bonus - not the goal.
If the project you support 10x’s, so do your points.
So spend more time helping good projects grow. That’s the real alpha.

Genesis Update: Staking $VIRTUAL Is Now Live
By locking $VIRTUAL, users receive veVIRTUAL, the vote-escrowed version of the token that represents long-term alignment, deeper protocol utility, and future governance power.
Starting today, 20% of all Virgen Points will be distributed to veVIRTUAL holders, replacing the previous system where points were earned by simply holding $VIRTUAL, and marking a major shift in how participation is rewarded across the Virtuals ecosystem.
Why this matters:
- 20% of total Virgen Point emissions are now reserved for veVIRTUAL holders
- veVIRTUAL unlocks eligibility for Genesis Airdrops
- Onchain governance is coming, and veVIRTUAL will serve as the foundation for voting power (If you know, you know)
How it works:
- Stake $VIRTUAL to receive veVIRTUAL
- veVIRTUAL amount is based on how much and how long you lock (up to 2 years)
- veVIRTUAL decays linearly over time until unlock
- Enable Auto Max-Lock to receive the maximum multiplier (1:1) for the full 2-year duration
Note:
Users who stake within 24 hours of this post will be eligible for a massive surprise to be announced tomorrow. (DO IT)
This is a transition from passive holding to active contribution. Long-term commitment will define who earns, governs, and shapes what comes next.

cryptoeconomics is the reason behind BTC's adoption and value. when u can align incentives, flywheels spawns.
@jessepollak one raw suggestion.
if we are to position Base as the fundamentaloor ecosystem, the network incentives should incentivise founders to tie value back to their onchain tokens.
Instead of doing emissions like other L2's that's based on network activity, emit it to projects who "buyback native tokens using their protocol/app revenues"
This will create a giga meta shift to founders/projects who treat their tokens with value, vs a way to just liquidate and dump on retail.

While my mind is on this. Gonna put out a few clarifications:
- There was no special penalty etc for NOTHING. It follows the same standards for all other tokens. @tD_0101 .
- The bonus multiplier for active agent tokens has been around for a while. This standard bonus has been awarded to teams that are actively shipping productive agents in public, which we all can agree is beneficial to the ecosystem. Today, the evaluation is done by the core team, but honestly happy to let veVIRTUAL stakers decide. Likely will be the same outcome, just more dev work on our end.
- Many of you who see reduction in points is likely coz of jeet jail. Please check. There are a handful that are affected by selling dust tokens, we will be fixing this, and will reimburse.
- There have been mathematical changes to the points disbursement. Some of you have seen reductions, but most of you will see increase. What's more important is not the absolute number of points - it's the share of allocation when utilised in the pledging. Run the maths here for you nerds, you will see that there's a tonne of improvements here. tokens are more decentralised, less jeet pressure on open markets etc.
- @H2Masha had some view on an early vested contract staking veVIRTUAL. I didn't see the contract address, so i cant verify, but if it is still a holder of VIRTUAL, not sure why the toxicity against that. All VIRTUAL tokens are created equal.
Ok, back to more fun AI stuff.
Planning a new feature launch that will allow degens to feel the magic of ACP when launched.

Just putting this out there: while we don’t reply to every post, the team probably reads and considers 80-90% of what’s said on the timeline and in the tags. In our slack and daily jam sessions, points is 60% of the discussions lmao.
We get it - many comments are driven by individual incentives today. But our job is to design a system that’s built to last, a bit longer time horizon, a bit wider POV.
We may not always see eye to eye today, but know this: we’re working for your bags. And we have proven to be fair, generous, and long-sighted in everything we have done. At least we try.
