With AI Agents as its selling point, Virtual Protocol has gradually entered the public eye amid the recent AI meme craze. So, what is Virtual Protocol? How do AI Agents attract users through blockchain? We will introduce these to readers one by one. (Background: Can the AI sector shake off the stigma of speculation? A review of three AI Agent projects embracing cryptocurrency) (Supplementary background: What is ai16z? With a market value soaring to 80 million dollars in a day, how did DAOS.FUN spark a new wave of meme speculation?) Recently, the AI concept has swept the Meme sector, first with the autonomous AI robot meme coin $GOAT appearing out of nowhere, its market value once soaring past 900 million dollars, followed by the decentralized AI trading funds $AI16z and $DegenAI, along with their issuing platform DAO.FUN, attracting a lot of investors' attention. While the AI meme continues to heat up, Virtual Protocol, which features AI Agents, is also gradually entering the public eye. What is Virtual Protocol? According to official documents, Virtual Protocol focuses on applying AI Agents in gaming and entertainment, and leverages blockchain characteristics to tokenize and allow shared ownership of AI Agents. The documents further explain that Virtual's AI Agents possess multiple functionalities: they have autonomous planning and goal achievement capabilities, are multimodal (able to communicate through text, voice, and 3D animation), and can interact with their environment—for example, picking up weapons in Roblox or collecting gifts in TikTok, even using on-chain wallets. Next, Virtual outlines the three major pain points faced by AI Agents in application: 1. Complex implementation process of AI Agents: VIRTUAL AI Agents provide Shopify-like plug-and-play solutions, allowing games and consumer applications to easily deploy AI Agents. 2. AI optimizers and dataset contributors cannot benefit: VIRTUAL's Immutable Contribution Vaults ensure that contributors' work sources are recorded on-chain, decentralizing the contribution process and combining it with revenue. 3. Non-AI experts finding it hard to participate in AI Agent opportunities: VIRTUAL's Initial Agent Offering realizes the tokenization and decentralized co-ownership of AI Agents, allowing more people to participate and own these emerging assets. VIRTUAL Agents: A new generation of autonomous intelligent agents. The document then states that the VIRTUAL Agents developed by Virtual Protocol are a type of autonomous intelligent agent, specifically designed for interaction in 3D spaces, with multiple capabilities, including: Language communication and 3D movement: Agents can naturally speak and act in 3D spaces, bringing infinite content to games or applications. Learning, planning, and decision-making: Agents can learn, make plans, and make decisions as the game or application scenarios change. Interaction with the environment: Every action by players will trigger different reactions, allowing players to experience a unique storyline. On-chain trading functionality: Agents have their own blockchain wallets and can conduct on-chain transactions. Performance of VIRTUAL Agents ecological tokens. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, Virtual Protocol allows users to participate in the issuance and purchase of VIRTUAL Agents tokens through the Initial Agent Offering, similar to the fair sale mechanism of Pumpfun. As for how the VIRTUAL Agents ecological tokens are performing, I will introduce that below: Platform token VIRTUAL. VIRTUAL is the platform token of Virtual Protocol, issued on the Ethereum Layer 2 Base chain. If users want to buy VIRTUAL Agents tokens within the ecosystem, they need to first exchange for VIRTUAL and then use VIRTUAL for purchases. Currently, the market value of the VIRTUAL token is 150 million dollars. Leading project LUNA. The leading project of VIRTUAL Agents, LUNA, is an AI Vtuber who livestreams on YouTube 24/7. Viewers can interact with it through the chat box on the Virtual official website (I tried to interact with it and found that LUNA can actually speak Chinese). Additionally, users can tip the AI by purchasing LUNA tokens. Currently, LUNA has a market value of 118 million dollars. It’s worth mentioning that LUNA's market value once exceeded 200 million dollars, surpassing the platform token VIRTUAL. Other token performances. Perhaps because the platform is in its early stages, currently, apart from the platform token VIRTUAL and the leading token LUNA, whose market values have surpassed 100 million dollars, other tokens have not exceeded the 10 million dollar threshold. Furthermore, due to the recent shifts in AI meme hotspots, most VIRTUAL Agents tokens are showing a downward trend. Related reports.
