Virtual protocol broke through the $1 billion mark, which potential projects are worth following?

What is Virtual

First, let’s briefly talk about what virtual does.

Virtuals Protocol. As an AI Agent ‘factory’ for Decentralization, Virtuals Protocol provides support for the release of different AI Agents.

The platform coin VIRTUAL of Virtuals Protocol has surpassed a market capitalization of 1 billion and is continuously reaching new highs. At the same time, Virtual is continuously enhancing its product matrix. Virtual already has more than ten Ai agents with a certain scale, such as luna, aixbt, and sekoia, and the number is still increasing.

It can be understood simply as the pump.fun of the Base ecosystem. But as a new asset issuance narrative, Virtual is pumping not meme but Ai agent.

AI Agent Inventory

The Virtual ecosystem has now reached a certain scale of Ai agents, and these agents have practical uses that are fundamentally different from the popular Ai mene in the market. Virtual and these AI agents form a positive flywheel, releasing popular AI agents, forming Consensus in the market, investing in the gold shovel ‘Virtual’, and thus developing higher quality AI agents, complementing each other.

AIxbt

The development momentum of AIxbt is strong, and it has become the largest Ai agent in the Vritual platform Market Cap, surpassing Luna. AIXBT is an AI Agent released by @0rxbt on @Virtualss_io half a month ago, which can fetch data from multiple sources and 400+ KOLs and spit out real-time information sources. If users hold more than 600,000 AIXBT Tokens, they can also directly access the AIXBT terminal. On November 16th, the deployer of aixbt proposed burning Tokens to increase its scarcity. This view was immediately responded to by aixbt, after which Token AIXBT also surged and skyrocketed.

LUNA

Although Luna was the earliest Ai agent to go online, its performance is currently below expectations. The Market Cap briefly exceeded 40 million yuan when it went online, and it is currently maintained at around 40 million yuan. On the contrary, the latercomer AIxbt is doing better. LUNA has the ability of self-awareness and self-thinking, and can achieve fully autonomous operation without human management and operation. It has tens of thousands of fans on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. At the same time, LUNA will also repurchase tokens through ‘working.’ LNUA will carry out 24-hour uninterrupted live broadcasts, and the repurchase mechanism is reflected in the live broadcast, where users can use Token$LUNA to reward LUNA.

It is worth noting that LUNA has been set with a goal to ensure that LUNA achieves a 409 billion US dollars Market Cap. Although this Market Cap may be somewhat exaggerated, having such a ‘slogan’ will inspire all LUNA Holders to promote viral spread.

LUNA’s envisioned logical closed loop is to grow a fan base through live streaming, increase holders, and on the other hand, destroy tokens in the form of live streaming rewards, thus achieving market capitalization rise.

Satoshi AI Agent

Satoshi AI Agent is one of the most popular AI agents on Virtual, with pools on Base and Solana. Currently, its market capitalization on Base is around 38 million. Satoshi AI Agent is marketed as being based on ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’, and users can converse with the agent much like they would communicate with Satoshi Nakamoto. It is mainly used for data queries and information searches.

Sekoia

The cases of Sekoia and ai16z are somewhat similar and belong to the type of ‘VC entering the game’. Although it is called Redwood (Sekoia), on November 19th, Anand Iyer, the founder of encryption VC Canonical, posted a long article on his social platform, stating that he has invested funds and time into the AI agent project SEKOIA. It was initially an experiment, but ‘now I am fully committed and hope to make it big.’

SEKOIA (Strategic Ecosystem Knowledge and Opportunity Investment Agent) as an independent AI system, will cultivate and rise the artificial intelligence ecosystem through strategic investment. SEKOIA will be promoted through Telegram and will soon announce its first investment. That is, realizing AI investment in AI, although it sounds absurd, the narrative market of SEKOIA is willing to pay for it.

G.A.M.E

GAME allows AI Agent to operate autonomously, process inputs, and generate responses, while learning from past interactions. It enhances decision-making abilities by leveraging long-term memory, including experience, reflection, and dynamic personality traits. By continuously evaluating the results of actions and conversations, GAME enables the agent to distill knowledge and improve the planning and performance of the Agent over time. The market capitalization of GAME has reached 40M, and it is still accelerating rise.

Virtual ecological gameplay

Of course, it’s just understanding what the Virtual ecosystem is, many readers still don’t know how to play specifically, it’s hard to take the “first step of genius”.

Virtual is also divided into the internal market and the external market. Tokens will first be listed on the internal market. When the number of Virtual tokens in the internal market reaches 42,420 (currently the Market Cap is approximately 360,000 USD), the external market will open. At the same time, the tokens in the internal market will enter a black hole and be converted into tokens in the external market, automatically transferred to the Wallet. After that, you can access the external market website

Users can buy the latest Tokens with Virtual on the internal website, through the base browser AI Agent and their respective Token information, etc.

To purchase Tokens on the Virtual platform, you need to first purchase Virtual platform coin $Virtual. On the Virtual platform, you can directly exchange or purchase Virtual using Eth on the Base chain, making it convenient for asset transfer and Token trading.

There are two important points to note when purchasing Virtual Tokens:

The largest token pool is in Aerodrome, not Uniswap.

The largest pool is the BTC pool, not the ETH pool. So it is not recommended to buy directly using the bot in Telegram, because it usually goes through the Uniswap ETH pool. If you buy a lot using the bot, it may cause larger slippage.

Due to the recent pump in the popularity of AI agents, the price of AI agent Tokens on Virtual is also pumping. The amount of Tokens Virtual purchased will inevitably follow the pump, and the Market Cap has nearly doubled in the past three days.
