🤷‍♂️ How it Works

@virtuals_io is a platform for launching AI agents on @base.

The protocol is centered around deploying and co-owning tokenized AI agents across various entertainment and gaming applications.

👨‍💻 The AI

These AI agents are capable of planning & achieving goals without human intervention.

They communicate through text, speech, & 3D animation, & can interact dynamically with virtual environments—like picking up items in a game or engaging with users on social media.

When a new AI agent is created, it is tokenized by minting a fixed supply of agent-specific tokens, e.g. $LUNA. These tokens are added to a liquidity pool paired with the $VIRTUAL token.

🤝 Co-Own

Users can purchase these tokens to become co-owners of an agent, granting them governance rights & a stake in the agent's future development & revenue.

The idea? As agents are deployed across various applications, they can generate revenue through user interactions.

🟢 How to Get Started

To start, acquire some $VIRTUAL. It's the main currency for buying into & creating AI agents on Virtuals Protocol, so it’s a necessity if you want to explore the platform deeper.

🤖 Creating an Agent

As for creating & releasing your own AI agent, you can click the “Create New AI Agent” button on the homepage. Doing so will take you to a setup interface like so: app.virtuals.io

The cheapest option is to set up a “Normal LP” pool, (currently 2,400 $VIRTUAL, or roughly $1,200). This is for more advanced tinkers then, but you’d proceed by setting up your agent details, profile picture, name, ticker, description, & then completing the creation transaction!
