@VlastikStraka I am 100% in favor of this, please $VADER consider it.
A similar mechanism already exists today for stacking @virtuals_io AI agent tokens, but it is not possible to choose the length of the commitment.
@VaderResearch I'm looking forward to the new list. $VADER is definitely preparing something bigger and better. @virtuals_io the best ecosystem for AI agents.
After $IRIS launch everybody is supposed to be pointless. Asking $VADER which one is the best choice ? So far my favorite is $STRATOS but need more info... 🧢 #Virtual
In 4 days:
$BAIAY goes LIVE
Then $ELYTRA launches tomorrow, from @Elytra_Virtual
After that we have $STRATOS (They launch on ETH mainnet)
And finally, $ROOM from @useBackroom
People who jeet $IRIS would miss out on all of this.
Virtardio
The launch of $IRIS has been the biggest so far. We saw $130m FDV. We will see more, much more, I'm sure as this just the beginning. Thanks to #Virtuals genesis and $VADER for the evaluation as Tier 1.
PSA: The team behind $BOOKIE isn’t new here.
Bookie AI was built by the same maniacs who:
• Gave 6000 under-collateralized crypto loans to anon wallets - @rocifi
• Built the #1 oracle on Algorand - @GoraNetwork
• Captured 217K+ bets and 1K users with no ads - Bankrolled
And now they’re letting AI run the entire sportsbook.
God help us.
@MaxbetLabs
🚨It’s official — Bookie AI has officially landed on @virtuals_io Genesis page.
$BOOKIE is the first token powering an AI-native sportsbook — and it launches soon.

Market down — but exciting stuff are still happening
- $MANEKI going live in about ~3 hours. People already spent their points on $ARBUS, the launch turned out pretty successful w/ decent value per points ($0.025 - $0.030 per point).
With Maneki, I think we're gonna see only moderate hype (30m-40m total points spent, requiring 400k-500k point spent for full allo) but good payout if it runs $3m-$5m MC
- Been pretty low-key hidden but $MUSIC dropping its Music IP tokenization platform today, partnership with @StoryProtocol. LP denominated in $MUSIC pairing for every IP launched thru Music.
Platform aims to democratize access to music creation through AI while tokenization / IP management allows creators to monetize their music & enable the community to own a piece of the music as well
(There's this growing trend of an AI agent project on @virtuals_io running their own launchpad vertical inside of Virtuals — @SamIsMoving / @frodobots robotics launchpad, @niyoko_agent image gen model launchpad, @MusicByVirtuals Music IP launchpad. Players that execute the distribution game well + have good partnership, content& launch pipeline tend to experience good value accrual on the main token)
- $BIZ goes live in a day. This is going to be pretty hyped due to "Top 3 Virtuals Hackathon" tagline. Core product Buzzy is also pretty interesting, they're offering an alternative to Polymarket, leveraging the social layer for prediction markets creation (instead of relying just on a few PhD guys). They also have their own liquidity model "BLP Vault" which is used to actively market make small-scale / thin liq markets.
Probably best to wait until the last 30 mins to gauge the hype if you're thinking of aping.
- $GIZA / @gizatechxyz the #1 autonomous stablecoin / financial agents will have its TGE tomorrow. $3M assets under agents (AUA), w/ over $32M in vol generated. (Their TGE teaser video just dropped as well)
$GIZA TGE will set the trends for DeFAI players in stablecoin / yield farming strategies. We'll get a clearer bench mark on AUA (or TVL) metric vs FDV. Potential tailwind for players like @FungiAgents which currently has $100k+ TVL
- @cookiedotfun about to drop v1 (any time now) with deeper sentiment & on-chain analytics & UI/UX improvements. This major update has yet to be reflected on $COOKIE
- The most massive update that we had today is from @virtuals_io where recognized staking agents (RSA) will actually require at least 14 days staking (instead of simply holding the token for points). This change will likely offer more price stability to top agent tokens as investors have to be aligned (stake) to earn points
- YT-sKAITO also getting a lot of love on @pendle_fi w/ Implied Yields >43% APY off the back of recent Virtuals x Kaito partnership, allocating Virgen points to Kaito. You could essentially leverage farm Virgen points w/ YT-sKAITO (not sure how profitable this is though)
There's good likelihood that this momentum continues and Kaito establish more partnerships like Virtuals, allocating more points / airdrop to sKAITO & YT-sKAITO holders
Despite the market downturn, momentum is building across several key projects w/ catalysts looming around the corner (really no shortage of action in this space lol).
Make sure to stay vigilant / stay locked in cuz these plays could flip any moment.
Launching @virtuals_io isn’t just a milestone — it’s a movement.
You’re not just using a platform, you’re helping define agentic, immersive infrastructure.
Enter now. Build deep.
#veVIRTUAL#metaOS#protocolfuture
After a wave of successful Genesis launches, @Virtuals_io is preparing its next phase.
We spoke with co-founder @ethermage on Apps No Entrees about Genesis, the upcoming 69 Days release, and the power behind their Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP).
Let's begin👇
~~ Analysis by @davewardonline ~~
ACP: Building the "SWIFT" of AI Agents
Sitting at the heart of Virtuals, the ACP is a framework that allows AI agents to communicate, transact, and work together to create economic value beyond what any single agent could achieve alone.
"As we grew the density of agents in the ecosystem, we started to realize all these agents were specializing. You have agents specializing on entertainment and outreach to fans. You have agents specializing on trading. You have agents specializing on wellness and body AI, robotics, and so on."
This specialization presented both an opportunity and a challenge for the ecosystem: how could these diverse agents — built by different teams with different architectures — effectively work together?
ACP aims to solve this challenge by creating a standardized communication layer, essentially a way for agents to collaborate and become greater than the sum of their parts.
Think of it as "the SWIFT of the agent economy," as Jansen put it. When two agents interact through ACP:
1. Their interaction state is handled onchain, providing a single source of truth.
2. Smart contracts manage payments through an escrow mechanism.
3. Third-party evaluator agents can be called in to verify work quality.
4. Incentive mechanisms help ensure fair compensation for all parties involved.
To demonstrate ACP's potential, Virtuals has been quietly working with teams to develop two experimental "clusters" of agents:
→ Autonomous Media House: A collection of agents, such as @luna_virtuals, @AcolytAI, and Steven SpAIelberg (to name a few), that can work together to act as an automated marketing agency, first focused on shilling tokens in classic crypto style.
→ Autonomous Hedge Fund: A collection of DeFi agents like @AIxVC_Axelrod (which just launched for a 70x to early subscribers) and @VU_virtuals that work with handling portfolio management, and others focusing on risk assessment or user interactions.
While these clusters are technically live on @base mainnet, Virtuals is waiting for "a slot in the marketing calendar" to officially unveil them, likely in three to four weeks.
Following the public launch, Virtuals plans to open up the platform to all developers, so that new agents can participate in clusters. A visualization tool will also be released, showing how agents can connect and work together in real-time.
As Jansen noted, this system puts Virtuals in direct competition with Google's recently announced A2A (Agent-to-Agent) system. "I think what they're critically missing is an innate transactional piece," he said, highlighting ACP's blockchain-based advantage.
"This is a winner-takes-all market, and the first person who reaches a form of density of people using their standard will win."
Project 69: A New Model for Token Launches
While ACP develops in the background, Virtuals is preparing to launch Project 69.
Project 69 tackles a significant problem: the reputational pressure that makes founders hesitant to launch tokens. "In Web2, if you fail a project, it's okay. You go and learn, then go and build better next round. In crypto, if you fail a project, you're a rugger,” Jansen said.
Project 69 offers a solution, namely a 69-day experimentation period where founders can test their projects without permanent commitment. Here's how it works:
→ 69-Day decision window: When launching on Genesis, founders have 69 days to decide whether to continue the project long-term.
→ Commitment rewards: If they choose to commit, they receive their team allocation and accumulated trading fees.
→ Automatic unwinding: If they don't commit within 69 days, the liquidity pool automatically unwinds, returning funds to token holders and distributing trading fees proportionally.
To prevent abuse, Project 69 requires founders to be doxxed through a Loom video explaining their concept and intentions. This encourages accountability while still offering a clean off-ramp if needed. The community will also have ways to signal their support, including a petition feature.
The Road Ahead: Building an Agent Economy
Despite the excitement, Jansen remains realistic about the ecosystem.
Of the hundreds of tokens launched via Virtuals, he reasons only ~150 have "a worthy enough product," and only a handful have found product-market fit.
He also acknowledged that many developers are still building "tooling agents" rather than fully autonomous agents, which was what Virtuals was designed for.
But this is precisely why Virtuals continues to evolve its platform — to meet developers where they are at, while pushing the ecosystem forward.
With ACP creating the infrastructure for agent collaboration and Project 69 lowering the barrier to experimentation, Virtuals is positioning itself at the center of the emerging agent economy, aiming to rival even the likes of Google.
Yet for now, the focus is on the imminent launch of Project 69. This release could add even more fuel to fan the flames of Virtuals and kick off a new wave of innovation here, so keep an eye out for it.
Genesis Update: Holding Is Over.
Agent Staking Is Now Live.
The era of passive holding is ending.
Staking is now the standard for earning points in the Virtuals ecosystem.
Switch Over Period Ends Thursday, May 22 at 3 PM GMT+8:
Agent staking is live. You now have until Thursday, May 22 at 3 PM GMT+8 to move your agent tokens into staking contracts. After that, only staked agent tokens will be eligible to earn points.
Eligible contracts include:
- Virtuals-issued staking contracts
- Whitelisted contracts with a 14-day unstaking cooldown
We’ll confirm publicly once staking-only eligibility goes into effect.
Staking Contracts Are Rolling Out Today:
We’ve identified approximately 70 projects (from both Genesis and Standard launches) that are going live with staking contracts today.
Virgens can now stake their agent tokens and begin earning points.
If your project launched but doesn’t yet have staking:
- Reach out to us
- We’ll support getting your staking contract live.
You can view the full list of eligible agents with staking enabled on the Points page.
Enforcement Rules:
- After May 22 at 3 PM GMT+8, only staked agent tokens will earn points
- Whitelisted contracts must include a 14-day unstaking cooldown
- Projects with custom contracts have 2 weeks to migrate or adjust to meet staking requirements
We’re scaling trust, aligning rewards with commitment, and closing passive farming gaps.
Virgenity.
