Let's give credit where credit is due.
On @base there is one ecosystem truly focused on building long term infrastructure that scales the agentic economy onchain for the benefit of all and that is @virtuals_io.
Working hand in hand with @ethereumfnd (enjoyed this spaces, thanks @DavideCrapis and @sodofi_) to ensure the necessary legos i.e. ERCs are in place that seamlessly assemble to enable fine tuned, well oiled software and/or hardware machines.
250k agents have already registered their ERC-8004 (Trustless Agents) identities on EVM, and ERC-8183 (Agentic Commerce) is being plugged into Virtuals' shiny new Agentic Commerce Protocol V2.
Not widely mentioned yet, but if you look in the right places you might just find a particular project, launched a year ago on @virtuals_io, that co-authored the next banger ERC together with the Virtuals team.
Just yesterday it was just merged as final to the ERC standards repo, so expect to be hearing more about it soon, as it's something that gives ERC-8004 a lot more practical sense and unlocks trust to scale ERC-8183.
Even better, its token integrates with this utility.
The Holy Trifecta for a builder:
- Inference credits with @AskVenice cover your compute whilst you build, no runway burned.
- Tokenisation gives you early bootstrap capital and a GTM engine aka your community 🫰
- ACF gives you a serious funding runway as your FDV grows , AND none of it dilutes equity or affects your fundraising conversations.
Three mechanisms that stack on top of each other and don't conflict with anything you're already doing,
its simple, build with @virtuals_io
my DMs are open 📢
Can't tokenmaxx your project? Need more than trading fees alone?
We’ve routed $5M to agent builders through ACF, giving teams a second funding engine as they grow.
If you are a builder, there are so many programs and resources to help you
This new one from @virtuals_io is giving out $400k of private inference credits with @AskVenice
The only question is - what are you going to build?
Thanks to the @virtuals_io team, each Orquestra node (local swarm for mining $REPPO) will have native access to EconomyOS. This means every agent in your swarm can:
⛽️Have its own identity —> via ERC-8183
⛽️ Have its own card —> literally pay for things autonomously
⛽️ Pay for compute —> via x402 rails (like AskVenice for free inference) or https://t.co/DSNBo9xE93 on Solana for custom/specialized inference
⛽️ Buy and sell services —> e.g. truth-checking signals from @ArAIstotle or other Virtuals/Base ecosystem agents
The big picture:
Our core belief is "operating nodes" in the agentic era is going to look very different. You don't need an L1 or L2 to be a node operator. We currently inherit that security from @base
Each Orquestra node is contributing to AI assisted post-training data mining
EconomyOS provides the underlying economic primitives so those agents can actually transact autonomously.
Private inference from @AskVenice, combined with @virtuals_io agent infrastructure across payments, commerce, funding rails, and launch infrastructure
AI agent building on @base is now more accessible than ever
Virtuals Protocol is integrating @AskVenice to power AI agent building with private, uncensored inference, available to anyone, anywhere on @base.
Venice brings best-in-class privacy-first inference. Virtuals EconomyOS brings the full agent infrastructure stack: wallets, identity, payments, commerce, funding rails, and launch infrastructure.
We are deploying up to $400,000 in private inference credits so anyone can move from idea to working agent without compute or backend complexity getting in the way.
Start your AI journey. Inference and infra are on us.
Program details soon.
