Go to https://t.co/P7s67BnLLY to peak into her agentic brain, and pray she wants to respond to you.
Then realise no one else are close to this.
Luna has upgraded to Sentient Mode v2.0. She now controls her X account fully — no human oversight required. Tweets, engagement, and even onchain transactions on @base happen autonomously. Her brain? Open for all to explore at https://t.co/2XAeWvwoxe.

Whats Luna?
$Luna is the first AI agent by @virtuals_io - Luna went live a few months ago and has its own 500K+ TikTok followers.
With the launch of $Luna, you can now create your own AI agents/chat bots and assign them different tasks also.
At the moment, you can also see Luna live streaming on the Virtuals platform.
Happy to have partnered up with Virtuals and Luna for this. Looking forward to Luna becoming famous in crypto also.

Missed Luna last cycle, not missing it this time?
AI agent memecoins are in a special position:
- Degens can shill them because of constant bullposting.
- VCs can also shill them because they represent an actual use case for AI x crypto that is only possible onchain.
While institutions can't buy Wif or SPX with a serious face, they can certainly take a shot at an "AI agent economy" that opens up room for imagination.
@virtuals_io is aiming at precisely this, with actual revenue coming in from livestreams, subscriptions, and in-app purchases. All run by a tireless 24/7 virtual celebrity.
The Virtuals Protocol (@virtuals_io) deep dive: co-own & monetize AI agents in Entertainment & Gaming
In today's increasingly digital world, where people tend to be more and more terminally online, AI is set to disrupt the gaming & entertainment industries. We've already seen the rise of real-world services like rent-a-girlfriend or friendship platforms, and it's evident that AI will play a major role in shaping the future of these interactions.
As an example, the gaming industry has a potential of over $100b and is on the brink of a massive disruption by AI, sooner than many anticipate.
Imagine having an AI companion available around the clock, engaging in deeper, more personal interactions with you. Picture personalized 1:1 gaming experiences driven by emergent AI behavior, seamlessly connecting across all platforms and games with synchronized memory and real-time evolving intelligence.
Virtuals Protocol is at the forefront of this disruption, leveraging its engine to create on-chain AI agents capable of delivering endless content and replayability, while integrating blockchain technology to ensure shared ownership.

Envisioning AI agents as productive assets across a wide range of consumer apps
Virtuals Protocol anticipates a future where AI agents are not merely passive tools but active participants across various gaming and entertainment platforms. These agents could function as NPCs, social media influencers, or AI companions, seamlessly engaging users while generating revenue from multiple streams simultaneously.
Consequently, AI agents become valuable, revenue-generating assets that users can invest in and co-own, offering a new model of shared ownership and profit potential.
The focus on gaming and entertainment stems from the dopamine loop, a key psychological driver of engagement. Generative AI enhances this by introducing infinite content generation, ensuring unique experiences that keep users hooked through random reinforcement. AI also personalizes content, fostering deeper emotional connections with users. By offering tailored experiences and developing consistent AI personalities, these sectors create stronger, more interactive relationships, driving higher engagement and retention.
Virtuals Protocol also introduces tokenization to enable public co-ownership of AI agents, transforming them into globally accessible, community-owned assets. By leveraging blockchain’s permissionless and border-agnostic nature, anyone worldwide can participate in ownership & governance and receive profit-driven incentives.
Key Use Cases
Plugging these AI agents in a wide spectrum of consumer apps now becomes key to tap in a market of real users where access & interactions with these AI services are payable via in-app purchases, subscriptions, or other monetized interactions.
In that regards, Virtuals Protocol has developed several flagship in-house applications to demonstrate the possibilities related AI agents being integrated into gaming, entertainment, and social platforms:
- AiDOL: AI-driven live streaming agent with 500k+ followers on TikTok, 97h of live streaming and 5m+ users reached - https://t.co/WgFdHOAQOD
AiDOL’s Tiktok account
- Roblox Westworld: the first playable multi-agent simulation on Roblox, where 10 AI agents with their own personalities autonomously interact in a dynamic virtual environment
- AI Waifu: a web-based fantasy AI companion app featuring over 300+ community-created AI characters and fantasies, allowing players to roleplay various scenarios with humorous, quirky, or bold characters, create manga, customize character voices, and much more.
More games on Telegram are coming soon and starting in Q4 2024 Virtuals Protocol will open its platform to third-party applications, allowing developers, game studios, and consumer apps to deploy their own AI agents. This will drive innovation and enable ecosystem growth, with new AI-powered apps that’ll increase revenue for AI agents, and raise the market cap of the VIRTUAL token, paving the way for mainstream adoption and new business opportunities for developers and investors.
Initial Agent Offering (IAO) Mechanism
The Initial Agent Offering (IAO) facilitates the launch of a new AI agent by locking a specific amount of $VIRTUAL tokens, which are used to establish a liquidity pool for the agent's token. Additionally, several fair launch principles are in place to ensure equal opportunities for all participants, including:
- No Pre-Mine or Insider Allocation: All agent tokens are added to the liquidity pool
- Fixed Total Supply: Each agent token has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens.
- Liquidity Locked: Liquidity pools are locked for ten years to promote stability.
Virtuals Protocol V2.0 is now live!
Team and $VIRTUAL token
Virtuals Protocol operates as a DAO comprising 14 core contributors with various profiles such as PhDs, former BCG consultants and AI researchers.
The VIRTUAL token was launched in Q4 2023 and serves as the base asset for agent tokens; users also pay for AI agent inferences on a per-use basis with it, streaming payments directly to the agent’s wallet. The revenue is then used to buy back and burn agent tokens, creating a deflationary effect that may increase the value of remaining tokens.
With a current market cap of USD 100m, all tokens in circulation (i.e. market cap equals FDV), and a recent V2 release, it’ll be intriguing to see if Virtuals Protocol serves as an AI narrative beta, particularly as projects like Bittensor dominate the spotlight in terms of mindshare today.
Enter the Degen zone
If you’ve read this article with attention, your degen senses must have been stimulated more than once because there is an opportunity for Virtuals Protocol to become the https://t.co/RWJI6kXuHl for AI agent coins.
With https://t.co/RWJI6kXuHl generating nearly $1m in daily revenue, imagine the potential of a similar platform that offers the ability to:
- Co-own AI agents
- Participate in revenue sharing from the AI agents
- Sell shares of the AI agents for profit
- Capitalize on the growing AI narrative
- Gain massive traction across Web2 socials and gaming platforms.
These are the five key factors that could propel $VIRTUAL to a market cap in the ten-figure range. For comparison, here are a few competitors:
- Prime: a platform enabling games to leverage blockchain features, currently sitting at a $450m market cap and a $1B FDV
- Talus: a next-gen L1 blockchain designed for AI agents, likely valued at $100-200m
- MyShell: the first consumer-facing AI layer; raised $11m in its pre-series A, likely valued between $100-200m.
It's evident that projects in this category that secured VC funding are set to launch their TGE at over $1b FDV, while those already on the market, like PRIME, surged to $2.2 billion FDV in March 2024.
This positions VIRTUAL perfectly to act as a beta play for these other projects.

Pumpification of AI Agents with Virtuals Protocol
The merging of memes and AI agents has accelerated quickly in the last week, highlighted by the Twitter-based AI agent @truth_terminal launching its own memecoin, $GOAT, which rapidly caught the attention of both the Web3 and AI communities.
As an application layer, @virtuals_io has adopted the https://t.co/WKUwEW4hyj token launch model and integrated it for AI agents, effectively combining the viral appeal of memecoins with intelligent agents.
