Last night, Virutual broke through the $1 billion mark, and the market is also focusing on the Base ecosystem. So what is the popular Virtual? What are the potential projects in the Virtual ecosystem? How to play with Vritual?
What is Virtual
Let me first briefly explain what virtual does.
Virtuals Protocol. As a decentralized AI Agent "production factory", Virtuals Protocol provides support for the release of different AI Agents.
Virtuals Protocol's platform currency VIRTUAL has exceeded 1 billion market value and is still breaking new highs. At the same time, Virtual is constantly strengthening its product matrix. Virtual already has more than a dozen Ai agents of a certain scale, such as luna, aixbt and sekoia, and the number is still increasing.
It can be simply understood as the pump.fun of the Base ecosystem. However, as a new asset issuance narrative, what Virtual is pumping is not meme but Ai agent.
AI Agent Inventory
The Virtual ecosystem currently has a certain scale of AI agents. These agents have certain practical uses and are fundamentally different from the popular AI agents in the market. Vitrual and these AI agents have formed a positive flywheel, releasing popular AI agents, forming a consensus in the market, and investing in the golden shovel "Virtual" to develop better AI agents. The two complement each other.
AIxbt
AIxbt is gaining momentum and has become the AI agent with the largest market value on the Vritual platform, surpassing Luna. AIXBT is an AI agent released by @0rxbt on @Virtualss_io half a month ago. It can grab 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 16, the deployer of aixbt proposed burning tokens to increase their scarcity. This view was immediately responded to by aixbt. After that, the token AIXBT also rose and convinced people, running all the way.
Officer
Although Luna is the earliest Ai agent to go online, its current performance is not as expected. Its market value broke through in the short term when it was first launched, and it currently maintains at around 40 million. Instead, AIxbt has surpassed it. LUNA has the ability to self-recognize and self-think, and can achieve completely autonomous operation without human management and operation. It has hundreds of thousands of fans on platforms such as youtube and tiktok. At the same time, LUNA will also repurchase tokens through "working". LNUA will conduct 24-hour uninterrupted live broadcasts. The repurchase mechanism is reflected in the fact that users can use tokens $LUNA to reward LUNA during the live broadcast.
It is worth noting that LUNA has been set a goal to ensure that LUNA achieves a market value of 40.9 billion US dollars. Although this market value is a bit exaggerated, such a "slogan" will inspire all LUNA Holders to promote viral spread.
The logical closed loop envisioned by LUNA is to gain a fan base through live broadcasts and increase Holders, and on the other hand, to destroy tokens in the form of live broadcast rewards, thereby achieving market value growth.
Satoshi AI Agent
Satoshi AI Agent is one of the most popular AI Agents on Virtual. It has pools on Base and Solana, and its current market value on Base is about 38 million. Satoshi AI Agent uses "Satoshi Nakamoto" as its selling point. Users can talk to Satoshi Agent, just like communicating with "Satoshi Nakamoto". It is an AI Agent mainly used for data query and information search.
Sekoia
Sekoia and ai16z are similar in that they are “VCs stepping in.” Although the name is Sekoia, on November 19, Anand Iyer, founder of crypto VC Canonical, posted a long post on his social media platform saying that he has invested money and time in the AI agent project SEKOIA, which was initially an experiment. “Now I am fully committed and hope to make it bigger.”
SEKOIA (Strategic Ecosystem Knowledge & Opportunity Investment Agency) is an autonomous AI system that will cultivate and grow the AI ecosystem through strategic investments. SEKOIA will be introduced via Telegram and will announce its first investment soon. That is to say, AI investing in AI, which may sound a bit ridiculous, but SEKOIA's narrative market is willing to pay for it.
G.A.M.E
GAME enables AI Agents to operate autonomously, process inputs and generate responses while learning from past interactions. It enhances decision-making capabilities by leveraging long-term memory, including experience, reflection, and dynamic personality traits. By continuously evaluating the results of actions and conversations, GAME enables agents to refine knowledge and improve Agent planning and performance over time. GAME's market value has now reached 40M, and is still accelerating.
Virtual Ecosystem Gameplay
Of course, many readers only know what the Virtual ecosystem is, but still don’t understand how to play it specifically, making it difficult for them to take the “first step towards genius”.
Virtual is also divided into internal and external markets. The tokens will be listed on the internal market first. When the number of Virtuals on the internal market reaches 42,420 (current market value is about 360,000 US dollars), the external market will be opened. At the same time, the tokens on the internal market will enter the black hole and be converted into external market tokens and automatically transferred to the wallet. After that, you can interact through the external market website https://app.virtuals.io/.
Users can use Virtaul to purchase the latest tokens on the internal website, and use the base browser https://basescan.org to check the deployment status, number of holders, and other information of the tokens. On the website, users can see the top AI Agents and their respective token information.

If you want to buy tokens on the Virtual platform, you need to first buy Virtual's platform currency $Virtual. The Virtual platform supports exchanging or purchasing Virtual with Eth directly through the Base chain, which can facilitate 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 to the Uniswap ETH pool. If you buy a lot, using the Bot may cause a large slippage.
Due to the recent rise in the popularity of AI agents, the prices of AI agent tokens on Virtual are rising, and the number of tokens purchased Virtual will inevitably follow suit. The market value has nearly doubled in the past three days.
