Recently, tokens on the Virtuals Protocol, such as Seraph, PondHub, and Music, have issued airdrops to $Virtuals holders. This marketing method has successfully attracted the attention of holders. As for whether to buy or sell? This article will introduce you to popular targets in the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem and the tokens that have recently distributed airdrops.
Virtuals has become the golden shovel of Base.
Virtuals Protocol is defined as an AI agent platform in the gaming and entertainment sectors. In simple terms, AI agents can be established on Virtuals. Each time an AI agent token is created on Virtuals, a liquidity pool of the protocol token and the $Virtuals token is established, which enhances the deflationary nature of Virtuals through this liquidity locking operation.
Although Virtuals Protocol is built on Base, users must exchange their USDC (or other currencies) for $VIRTUAL before purchasing any AI agent tokens. This means that when buying AI agent tokens, this mechanism will continuously generate demand for $VIRTUAL tokens, similar to how ETH or SOL serves as the native currency in the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems.
On-chain Blackpink Jennie uses LUNA to perform for her idol.
Luna is an AI-DOL created by AI, performing on its own channel on Virtuals 24/7. The official description likens it to Blackpink's Jennie. To tip the AI-DOL, $LUNA must be used as the tipping method.
Another entity following this route is cryptocurrency KOL Irene Zhao, who has released AIRENE on Virtuals, similar to the 'VTuber' concept of AI-DOL. When it was launched, the community criticized its small chest size and chose not to buy. Initially, KOL Gangmen from Taiwan noticed this AI-DOL and tried to interact with it, receiving a reply from Irene. This amusing process has made the token a trend in the Taiwanese cryptocurrency X community.

A cybersecurity project co-invested by Coinbase, AI Zachxbt protects on-chain harmony.
Recently, three tokens have distributed airdrops for the Virtuals ecosystem, namely Music, Seraph, and PondHub. From the perspective of unexpected windfalls, these tokens' airdrops have also brought good returns to holders, further enhancing the value of Virtuals as a golden shovel.
Seraph, inspired by hacker missions and named after the six-winged angel (Seraphim), is also the name of a well-known South Korean girl group LE SSERAFIM. Seraph is the first autonomous AI agent of Virtuals, integrating with the subnetwork of another AI concept coin, Bittensor (TAO). Its highest market cap was $52.72 million, but before publication, the top ten holding addresses still accounted for 41%.
PondHub is the AI version of zachxbt, using a decentralized Graph Neural Network (GNN) AI agent to analyze complex on-chain behaviors and predict future actions. For example, it could detect malicious smart contracts and issue alerts, but it still requires continuous training. Interestingly, zachxbt is also a person, while PondHub combines AI functionalities with the blockchain's 24/7 settlement feature, allowing it to alert users of risky operations without rest.
PondHub's seed round raised $7.5 million, with investors including Near Foundation and Coinbase Ventures, both with years of experience in the AI field. More details on how PondHub maintains on-chain security and trains its AI models can be found in the official technical documentation.
Music is an AI DJ that, through training models, aims to seamlessly blend various genres and cultures to meet the demands of humans and artificial intelligence.
In summary, the airdrops received from holding Virtuals may not seem significant in terms of amount. However, from the perspective of unexpected windfall, it could still provide a few meals of pork knuckle rice. The projects distributing these airdrops often have VC involvement, including Coinbase itself. Even though the AI sector has been heavily drained as Bitcoin surpasses $100,000, if the AI agent's themes can continue to operate, combined with the Base chain's ongoing capital generation ability, holding Virtuals could still bring some nice rewards.
This article discusses whether holders of Virtuals should sell the airdrops they received. It will help you understand what AI agents on the Base chain are doing, first appearing in Chain News ABMedia.
