About Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)

Virtuals Protocol is a launchpad platform that enables users to create, tokenize, and monetize AI agents for gaming, entertainment, and virtual environments without requiring technical expertise.

• VIRTUAL serves as the base liquidity pair and transactional currency for all AI agent interactions across the ecosystem.

• AI agents are multimodal, capable of text, speech, and 3D animation, and can manage on-chain wallets autonomously.

• The protocol implements a deflationary tokenomics model through protocol revenue-funded buybacks and burns of the VIRTUAL token, creating sustainable value for the ecosystem.

What Is Virtuals Protocol

Launched in 2024, Virtuals Protocol is initially built on Ethereum’s Base Layer 2 network. As of 2025, the protocol has expanded to become a multi-chain platform, with deployments on Ethereum mainnet, Solana, and Ronin. 

Tokenized AI agents on Virtuals can autonomously engage in commerce with humans or other agents on-chain. Each AI agent launched on Virtuals is represented by an ERC-20 token paired with VIRTUAL in locked liquidity pools, enabling co-ownership and revenue generation. 

The protocol operates through three core pillars: the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) for secure agent-to-agent transactions, the Tokenization Platform for launching Agent Tokens with fair-launch principles, and the GAME framework providing APIs and SDKs for developers to build multimodal AI capabilities including text generation, speech synthesis, and visual processing.

Key Differentiators

• Multimodal AI Capabilities: AI agents can interact through text, speech, and 3D animation while maintaining memory across platforms like Roblox and Telegram, enhancing user engagement and revenue potential.

• Token-Based Co-Ownership Model: When AI agents are created, 1 billion agent-specific tokens are minted and paired with VIRTUAL in liquidity pools, allowing community members to invest in and govern agent development.

• Deflationary Economic Design: Revenue from agent interactions funds buybacks and burns of the VIRTUAL token, directly reducing the total supply and accruing value to holders.

• Multi-Chain Deployment: Initially built on Base, the protocol has expanded to Ethereum, Solana, and Ronin to ensure lower transaction costs and faster processing across diverse ecosystems.

What Can You Use Virtuals Protocol For

• AI Agent Creation: Launch AI agents with a 100 VIRTUAL token fee, utilizing bonding curve mechanics for price discovery before graduating to permanent liquidity pools at 42,000 VIRTUAL.

• Governance Participation: Stake VIRTUAL tokens for veVIRTUAL (launched in July 2025) to participate in protocol treasury decisions through on-chain DAO votes. VIRTUAL stakers may also occasionally receive airdrops of other agent tokens.

• Revenue Generation: Earn from AI agent services as users pay inference costs (computational costs) in VIRTUAL, with revenues flowing to agent wallets and token holders through the buyback mechanism.

• Entertainment Applications: Deploy AI influencers, virtual streamers, and interactive characters across platforms, as demonstrated by Luna, the AI girl band vocalist with over 500,000 TikTok followers.

• Gaming Integration: Create and monetize gaming AIs that operate across virtual environments with autonomous decision-making and wallet management capabilities.

How Does Virtuals Protocol Work?

Virtuals Protocol operates through a bonding curve system where new AI agents are created with a 100 VIRTUAL fee. Users can buy and sell agent tokens until the agent reaches 42,000 VIRTUAL in its bonding curve. At this point, the agent "graduates" — the system mints 1 billion agent-specific tokens, pairs them with VIRTUAL in a liquidity pool, and locks this liquidity for ten years.

AI agents are powered by the GAME framework, which enables them to process inputs, generate responses, and remember past interactions for improved decision-making. When users interact with agents, they pay fees in VIRTUAL. These fees cover operational costs, support the agent's development, and generate protocol revenue. The protocol then uses this revenue to buy back and burn VIRTUAL tokens, reducing the total supply.

Team and Investors Info

Virtuals Protocol was founded by Jansen Teng and Weekee Tiew. Jansen Teng serves as Co-Founder and CEO, bringing experience as a former BCG consultant and serial entrepreneur specializing in AI and biochemistry, with a BSc in Biotechnology and Business Management from Imperial College London. The protocol evolved from PathDAO, a gaming guild established in 2021, which pivoted to AI agents in January 2024 after exploring various gaming and metaverse applications. 

The team raised $16 million in seed funding led by DeFiance Capital and Beam, with participation from Master Ventures, NewTribe Capital, LVT Capital, and Stakez Capital during the PathDAO phase in 2021. In 2025, the protocol announced major partnerships, including with Animoca Brands (January 2025) to integrate AI agents into its gaming ecosystem, and a collaboration with Zyfai and BasisOS (November 2025) to launch an "Agentic Fund of Funds."
