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.

$surplus is a case study show that's why I set Clanker or Liquid tokens deployed via Capminal Orbs so the dev fee is only paid in WETH. Every trade auto swaps the fee portion into WETH to cover dev trading fees.
That means no fud about “dev dumping tokens.” If the dev wants to hold, they can publicly buy later when the team treasury is strong, turning it into good news for the project.
Btw, devs need to eat, and the product needs runway to keep building. @mac_eth did nothing wrong. @AskSurplus has a great business model and will continue to grow.
AMA.
A few people have pinged, upset or concerned that I sold some tokens.
I've been focused on building a team and making sure we have some runway. Hiring people costs money. We have $0 revenue from the product right now, so the trading fees are the only way to afford a team right now.
The new UI updates were from the new team, and most of the roadmap (adding fiat payment support, migrations to support more scale, ...) depend on work from the team.
We have 2-3 months of runway now, which I think is enough to complete those things.
total fees so far have been a little over 6% of supply. I sold ~2% of supply. Plan to hold the rest unless I need more to pay the team.
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, I'll try to answer them in this thread.
almost every new piece of tech is being built for agents. from blockchain (base), identity (erc-8004), and payments (x402), to docs that can plug into agents so they can write code on their own.
agents era is now 🤖
Our $CAPU contract Github repo hit 18 stars after just 1 day from a dev community call. We still need more stars from builders.
P/S: This is the contracts repo for $CAP / sCAP / $CAPU, forked from the $VVV / sVVV / $DIEM model by @AskVenice.
Their unique stake capital, earn compute setup helped VVV break its ATH recently
If you’re a crypto investor, a builder, or anyone in this market, this is not the time to panic sell your bags.
While most people are scared, I’m buying more at these prices.
$VIRTUAL, $LIQ, $CAP...
Don’t panic. You can still stay safe this time if:
> You’re not using leverage, lending, or borrowing
> You’re holding solid AI-related projects that are still building
> You understand AI and actually use it
Right now we’re in max pain.
The market will come back soon.

Introducing OpenCAP Gateway (an important part on Capminal V2) ⚡, one inference gateway for every model.
Chat, image & video, Claude, GPT, Gemini, MiniMax, Qwen and more, all behind a single OpenAI-compatible API. Per-million-token pricing, transparent context windows, and one place to compare them all.
Instead of juggling separate accounts, billing, and SDKs for every provider, point your app at ONE base URL, authenticate with ONE key, and route to whichever model you need.
Here's how it works 👇
Amazing program from @virtuals_io. Virtuals has always been a team with strong infra that builders can rely on.
Projects can get sponsored inference credits when they build on Virtuals through their inference gateway.
Just wondering, we’re building OpenCAP as an inference gateway on our side too. Is it eligible 😅?
@WuBlockchain The Clarity Act needs to pass early this year, before the next election reshapes Congress. If Trump’s Republicans lose control and the bill is still not passed, the next 4 years could be very tough for crypto.
