Effective today, Virtuals is giving out $400,000 in @AskVenice-powered private inference credits across leading frontier and open-source models, available to everyone so they can keep building on @base without worrying about compute budgets or stitching infrastructure together from scratch.

Builders with existing agents can plug into Virtuals EconomyOS through the CLI or SDK, connect your @github, and access free Venice-powered inference credits.

Builders starting from zero can launch through Virtuals Console and give your agent access to wallets, payments, commerce, funding rails, launch infrastructure, and Venice inference from day one.

Get your free inference and start building now: https://t.co/IKfTRX3sAi

[Virtuals Protocol @virtuals_io]

We're receiving a lot of requests for inference so we are raising the individual limits for the weekend.

Run bigger, more complex agent workflows with Virtuals

[Virtuals Protocol @virtuals_io]

Virtuals Protocol is officially migrating to @Chainlink CCIP.

For agent infrastructure, 99% security is not enough. As part of hardening our infrastructure, we are upgrading our cross-chain stack from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP.

We have evaluated that CCIP strengthens the foundation behind Virtuals with the highest level of cross-chain security as we build the trusted economic layer for agents.

This enables the most secure agent infrastructure stack to enable agents to manage inference, cards, email, payments, services, commerce, and onchain value.

The launchpad is only a stepping stone to the agentic society vision we have. It’s to get more founders onchain - give them a reason for crypto to exist within their product design space.

The vision we have for Virtuals , as many of you folks have seen has expanded since we exploded onto the since in 2024. It’s to create a parallel society for agents as autonomous economic actors. Physical agents, digital agents, humans coexisting to create a step change in productivity and economic output. The whole 1+1+1>>>10 ideology.

The space needs to grow and we need more founders who are aixcrypto aligned. The amount of shit we get when pitching techbros is unbelievable. “Crypto is a scam” is still a very real thing. Imagine when u pitch “crypto ai”.

Started to see trenchors fighting it out on which launchpad is better. I think its a wrong fight. We need the elizas, the arcs, the creatorbids, clankers, bankrs, virtuals, any community launchpads to win. Every founder we get into the space will help us wash this cryptoizscam label away.

Pie is big guys
I personally really wished back for the days in late 2024 where tens of competitors all pushing on the ai crypto narrative

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.

[Miratisu 🐙 @miratisu_ps]

My heart is with everyone caught in this wave of tech layoffs. You’re not alone.

We’re hiring and happy to explore roles with anyone who feels aligned with what we’re building.

If you’d like, you can also drop your profile in the comments for visibility so others in my network can discover you too. 🫶🏼
