Today, $Virtual continues to surge, once again leaving many in the group regretting their previous decisions and feeling the pain of selling at the wrong time. Today, Virtual has a FDV of 1.7B on BASE alone, and the FDV connected to the mainnet has already reached 3.5B. But more importantly, it has completely ignited the Base chain ecosystem, continuously giving birth to star AI Agents based on Virtual, creating a wealth effect. Although the statistics from various parties are not very consistent, the FDV of the Virtuals family has already occupied a significant portion of the Base chain.
In addition to $Virtual's 1.7B, other notable members include:
$Luna 101M A virtual AI idol that can interact with fans
$Aixbt 367M Leading the KOL rating for crypto information flow Agent
$GAME 340M The AI agent framework in Virtuals, which can be seen as the Shopify in the ecosystem, providing low-code payment, logistics, and customer support infrastructure.
$Convo 96M The cognitive framework of AI agents in Virtuals, responsible for handling dialogues and communication between AI agents and users, ensuring that these agents can understand and generate human language. If GAME is seen as the 'brain', then Convo is the 'voice'.
Additionally, there are $VADER, $MUSIC, $SEKOIA, etc., which are also AI Agents over 40M and appeared in Virtuals' official video celebrating Christmas.

You can see various AI Agents that have applied the Virtuals framework, many of which have a very small market capitalization. If you find it interesting after trying it out, it may become the next hot product.
There are many learnings from the success of Virtuals, which has always been a subject of study for many competitors.
Although their innovative experiments are not as aggressive as the ai16z group, they excel in being less talkative, maintaining a stable and solid direction with minimal controversy.
For example, all Agent trading pairs are formed with Virtual; they didn't clash with Solana but chose to lead on the Base chain; they are continuously evolving, with current agent development tools making it easier to create Agents.
The concept of AI Agents as the future has gradually gained traction. Next, every major public chain should not miss this track, with excellent AI teams occupying the ecological niche of major public chains. Collaborating for innovation should also be the trend. Currently, we can see the binding of Virtuals with Base, and Ai16z with Solana.
StoryProtocol seems to be closely aligned with Virtuals as well. What about public chains like Bnbchain, Movement, SUI, Aptos, and Avax? Will they support themselves or welcome mature teams from outside?
SaharaLabsAI is even more impressive, being a platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, mainly dedicated to building a decentralized artificial intelligence network, which is a project I look forward to.
I plan to devote at least 50% of my energy to exploring AI-related tracks.
