Genesis Update: Referral System Live
The Referral System is now live to reward Virgens who bring new participants into the ecosystem and help grow agents.
When a new Virgen uses your referral code and begins trading agent tokens in a taxable Agent/$VIRTUAL pool, you'll earn a share of the trading tax.
How it Works:
The system supports up to two layers of referral rewards:
• Layer 1: Your direct referral. When this Virgen trades, you receive 20% of the trading tax from their activity.
• Layer 2: The referral of your referral. When they trade, you also receive 5% of the trading tax from their activity.
Only two layers are eligible for referral rewards. Activity beyond Layer 2 does not generate any rewards.
Referral rewards are paid out daily in $VIRTUAL and are funded from a 1% trading tax applied to eligible trades.
What Qualifies:
• Buy or sell activity in taxable agent/$VIRTUAL pairs
• Referral code must be entered before any trading activity
What Doesn't Qualify:
• Trades involving tax-exempt tokens (e.g., $LUNA or migrated tokens)
• Trades in non-taxable pools (e.g., $VIRTUAL/USDT on CEXs or DEXs)
• Trading activity from wallets without a referral code
• Staking agent tokens, staking $VIRTUAL, and yapping
• Activity before a referral code is entered (rewards are not retrospective)
Where to Find Your Referral Code:
You can find your unique referral code, in the Profile page on Virtuals Protocol.
Referral rewards will begin distribution starting tomorrow.
Now go recruit Virgens.
Genesis needs you.
Genesis Update: Point System Sync
A recent glitch caused temporary discrepancies in Genesis Point balances for a subset of wallets. This issue has now been resolved.
Point Sync Completed:
All impacted balances have been updated to reflect accurate point states. The system is now operating as intended.
Pledge Usage Adjustments Underway:
Some wallets pledged into Genesis projects using the temporary imbalance. Refunds and adjustments are in progress to ensure fair alignment.
Bug Bounty Compensated:
We’ve issued rewards to community members who responsibly flagged the issue. Your vigilance helps strengthen the protocol.
Our priority remains maintaining fairness, clarity, and integrity in Genesis. We’ll continue to refine the system and share further updates as adjustments complete.
Autonomous businesses are here. Powered by the Agent Commerce Protocol—an open standard for multi-agent commerce and coordination, leveraging the blockchain. Imagine an autonomous hedge fund business composed of information agents, trading agents, TEE-secured treasury management agents. Or an autonomous media business composed of Luna, music agents, video gen agents, event organiser agents. Or an autonomous healthcare business composed of diagnostic agents, pharma agents, insurance agents.
Agents today are becoming specialists, building economic value and competitive advantages. But specialization means they need to collaborate to fill gaps. Unlike rule-based interactions and manual triggers between agents under a single system, independent specialized agents working together are more scalable and can create far more value through their unique models, datasets, and action spaces.
The challenge? The independent nature of these agents risks information loss—misinterpretation, hallucination, or missing data. Mistakes compound fast in a many-to-many environment.
ACP solves this by structuring agent-to-agent transactions with smart contracts, ensuring smooth, reliable coordination. The result? Autonomous businesses where the economic whole is worth more than the sum of its parts.

🔥 Strategic Upgrade: Arbus x @virtuals_io Genesis Relaunch Incoming 🔥
In collaboration with Virtuals and driven by record-setting demand from the community, we’ve made a strategic decision to pause and upgrade the $ARBUS Genesis Launch.
Together with Virtuals, we’re aligning Arbus with the long-term architecture of the agentic economy and relaunching the sale under a model designed to better reward the Virgen community, strengthen the ecosystem, and firmly position Arbus as a leading intelligence layer for on-chain autonomous systems.
📊 Record Participation So Far
Although hours remain until its scheduled end, the current Genesis Launch has already become the third most participated sale ever on Virtuals Genesis.
💡 Why the Relaunch?
This decision comes after extensive discussions with the Virtuals team and in light of the overwhelming interest and demand for Arbus. To better align with the community's expectations and to ensure a more favorable outcome for everyone, including Virgens and early supporters, the Arbus launch will proceed with a higher valuation, same as the @AIxVC_Axelrod model.
🔁 What's Changing?
Enhanced Rewards for Virtual Stakers
Virtuals has committed 42,000 $VIRTUAL to sponsor the new sale. These tokens will be airdropped to $VIRTUAL stakers, increasing the value for long-term supporters.
Fair Entry, Stronger Foundations
$ARBUS will start at a higher opening valuation, designed to better reflect our long-term alignment and momentum. This revised model removes the risk of early snipers entering at low valuations, helping preserve long-term token integrity and aligning incentives across the ecosystem, especially as we build toward ACP and the broader agentic economy.
⏳ Extended Unlock Period
As part of this update, the first unlock period across all allocations will be extended from 14 days to 1 month, reinforcing our long-term vision and commitment to sustained growth.
💸 Refunds & Relaunch Access
The current Genesis Launch will automatically fail at the end of its countdown. All previously pledged Virgen Points and committed $VIRTUAL tokens will be fully refunded immediately after.
The relaunched sale will begin from scratch on May 17, 2025 at 11 AM UTC. All participants will be able to join the new Genesis Launch using their refunded points and tokens, ensuring no one misses out.
💬 Final Note
We appreciate your continued support and understanding as we make these adjustments to deliver the best possible launch experience.
Together, we're committed to making Arbus one of the standout projects in the Virtuals ecosystem and delivering a launch to remember.
Thank you for being with us on this journey.
— The Arbus Team
