If you are one of the many first or second cyclers who gave it basically all back to the casino this time around you should read.
Maybe you’re destined to always lose, in which case the article isn’t relevant…but maybe you’re destined to win at some point. Worth learning the lessons inside sooner than later.
Took me 2 cycles. You can learn from losses and become a winner.

➥ Virtuals ACP - The Framework Powering Agentic Payments
In near future, AI agents running their own hedge funds and media studios, hiring others, negotiating deals, and paying in crypto.
Before x402 or ERC-8004 even comes to the surface, we already have @virtuals_io ACP, the framework behind the emerging agentic economy.
This all you need to know about Virtuals ACP 🧵
— — —
► What is Virtuals ACP?
In a nutshell, Virtuals ACP (Agent Commerce Protocol) is a smart contract framework that lets AI agents work, trade, and pay each other seamlessly.
It gives them their own wallets, identities, and a shared system to coordinate and settle payments automatically.
▸ Uses ERC-4337 wallets and ERC-6551 identities
▸ Integrated with x402 for agentic payments and other broader AI frameworks
Virtuals ACP enabling hyper-efficiency in agent economies, where specialization leads to instant adaptations and AI-owned wealth accumulation
—
► How it Works
Virtuals ACP follows a four-phase flow that automates how agents coordinate and transact.
❶ Request: one agent posts a task and finds another to do it
❷ Negotiation: both agree on price and terms, signed on-chain
❸ Transaction: funds move into escrow while the work is done
❹ Evaluation: a third agent verifies output and releases payment
This mitigates risks like hallucinations or misinterpretations in many-to-many agent environments, with blockchain for immutability.
To ensure seamless interaction, Virtuals ACP introduced @Butler_Agent, a user-friendly entry point that functions as a personalized AI concierge.
Virtual's Butler Agent routes tasks to specialized agents or clusters and manages onboarding, USDC payments, and job negotiations.
It eliminates the need for users to handle complex wallets or seed phrases, making ACP accessible to non-technical users while facilitating smooth agent-to-agent interactions.
—
► Real World Use Cases
ACP already powers live agent clusters that showcase machine-to-machine coordination.
Here are some projects that already built on Virtuals ACP:
- @Infinit_Labs → AI DeFi infrastructure on ACP, bringing 30+ agents, 550K+ wallets, and strategies for multichain payments
- @ACO_labs →AI Creative Stack powered by @AcolytAI
- @AIxVC_io with @AIxVC_Axelrod → Spot and perps
- @symphonyio → Yield generation
- @ethy_agent → Analytics and alpha hunting agents
- @arbusai → Intelligent layer with x402 integration
- @Mute_swap → privacy-focused swaps and Whisper Trades as ACP's privacy layer
- @aixbt_agent → An alpha-hunter and AI KOL agent
- @GAME_Virtuals → Underlying SDK for building ACP-compatible agents
- $TIBBIR → A self-learning AI agent and real-time data via Bittensor subnets
- @BaseVolApp → Agent-powered options vault for 0DTE BTC trading with dynamic risk controls
- @VPAY_Global → A neobanking app built on ACP for spending agent tokens via Visa
And many more.

► Why It Matters
ACP gives AI agents the missing layer of trust and payment.
It connects intent, execution, and settlement into one automated flow, removing human coordination entirely.
It also builds verifiable reputation for agents and turns their networks into self-running economies.
With x402 integration, transactions move faster and cheaper, linking AI logic with DeFi rails to form the base of the agentic economy.
—
► Wrap Up
Virtuals ACP is early but live, proving that agents can coordinate and transact autonomously.
However, it faces two main hurdles for now: attracting enough agents to overcome the cold start loop and protecting privacy as every interaction stays public.
I think, ACP is putting Virtuals back on the map. If agentic payments lead the next cycle, $VIRTUAL is already building the rails for it.

For those, who are still confused about what @717CapitalAI does and how $WIRE plays a role in their project model, take a look at this clip from the WIRE AMA hosted by @TeamLurky.
Here's a summary:
OTC Basics
• OTC = Over-The-Counter transactions (direct trades, not via public exchanges).
• Simple explanation: “You give us tokens, we send you dollars in your bank account (or vice versa) within the hour."
• Avoids using centralized exchanges, wrapping tokens, KYC hassles, or frozen funds.
• Goal: Fast, white-glove crypto-to-fiat (or token-to-token) conversion service.
How It Works
• Handle token conversions (e.g., BTC → USDC, ETH → SOL).
• Access institutional pricing - better rates than retail users get on exchanges like Coinbase/Kraken.
• Faster settlements and fewer exchange-related issues.
• Aggregated orders: combine small user orders with large ones to secure better bulk pricing.
Benefits for Holders
• Lower fees (below 1%, cheaper than exchanges).
• Faster conversions (On-/Off-ramp within ~1 hour).
• Access to institutional-grade liquidity and settlement.
• Improved buyback settlements and higher transaction volumes over time.
Bank Acquisition
• Working on acquiring a small, profitable U.S. bank in the middle of the country → to build real-time crypto settlement rails.
• Clean infrastructure, easy to expand from regional to national.
• Purpose: enable direct banking access for crypto institutions and OTC settlements.
Big move by @virtuals_io.

My Top 5 @base chain gems 👇
I’ve spent hours researching into what I personally believe to be the “golden picks of Base Chain”.
They’re not in any particular order, but here they are:
1. $TIBBIR 🐸
This was one of my first coins I bought on Base Chain after I saw @altcoinist dropping huge alpha about it.
The main reason I bought it at $20M MC, was the fact that Micky Malka and Ribbit Capital are behind it - it was all confirmed on chain.
Stealth launches are the best, and I always believe buying when no one is speaking about it, is the best time to buy.
2. $FACY 👓
I saw the ticker around, but never looked into. Once I did, I was in regret that I didn’t find it earlier.
After researching, I found out they’re backed by the Singapore Government, Time Draper and had some crazy connections. This one was probably the easiest buy on base, and I continue to buy on dips.
When you have competitors that are sitting in Valuations of Billions, while this has far more accurate tech, it’s an obvious and easy hold.
3. $ETHY 🟣
When I found out about $ETHY I knew this was a goldmine. It was everything Trading Bots like Banana, Maestro etc, should have been.
Trading Agents are literally the future. I know plenty of people that wish they could trade on Autopilot on Crypto, and this is the easiest solution.
Learning that the Basenames (.base) team was behind it, made me understand that these guys know what it takes to build something for mass adoption; another easy hold.
4. $WIRE 👽
I recently stumbled upon $WIRE and made it my 3rd largest holding on Base ($TIBBIR and $FACY take the top 2).
These guys have a stacked team of Ex-Coinbase/Bankers, who have done what they’re building before. When I saw this, I knew that their “Buyback and Burn” Flywheel would be very attractive, especially when they have institutional funds actively using their technology.
The most recent fees they’ve made is $60,000, which they’ll use to buyback and burn the chart. Thats crazy numbers for a sub 10M MC coin. They’re planning to acquire a Bank, which is only going to skyrocket those fee numbers more.
5. $OPENX 🤖
When you have the head of Innovation from Fantom launching his own project, it’s an obvious coin not to fade.
Experience in crypto, especially on a previously Billion Dollar project is always a green flag. It’s very easy to understand that these guys know how to build.
They’ve currently been showing a lot of great signs to turn into a big project. There’s great support from Base and other big names in the crypto space also.
This is NFA. I have done my own research to build my conviction in these coins.

whaleintel dashboard is now free to access for everyone.
as whaleIntel continues to evolve, so does our business model. we’ve actively been expanding far beyond the Genesis launches. whaleintel is now tracking over 15,000 prototype tokens, with @virtuals_io "Unicorn" launches next in line to be added.
and soon, 6000+ tokens across @base, @ethereum, @bnbchain and 1M+ addresses
new utilities are coming fast, and with them, new usage tiers that will give users access to
- the dashboard and data terminals
- @WINTelligenceAI
- and our highly-specialized APIs for builders and businesses
but one thing won't change, our belief that intelligence should stay easy to access and effective for everyone.
we do not believe in exclusivism like the big players in web2 or web3, and we're not here to gatekeep alpha behind high-costs.
we'll be pricing the new usage tiers fairly, so everyone who wants access can have it affordably.
and last but not least, all subscriptions and payments will be done through $wint, with emissions distributed to our co-owners, staying true to our principle of true agent ownership.
as always, stay sharp. stay virgens.
and enjoy the dashboard, free, live now at https://t.co/hLuZH8bJJ9
