Imagine a Pump Fun for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agents

You can now deploy your own AI agent (with its own token) in just 5 minutes

Virtual Protocol's token has been up only since launch. Here's how it works

🧵(1/9)

Virtual Protocol deployed a couple of weeks ago

Its flagship AI Agent is Luna with its own token ($LUNA)

You'll need the $VIRTUAL token to interact on the protocol where you can:

- Create your own AI Agent
- Purchase other Agent tokens

Some are splurging on AI Waifus...

Steps:

1) Head over to aerodrome.finance (Base DEX)
2) Purchase $Virtual (0x0b3e328455c4059EEb9e3f84b5543F74E24e7E1b)
3) Setup an account on app.virtuals.io

This can be done by connecting a wallet or using an email for a wallet to be setup for you

There's already several AI Agents launched

The flagship product is Luna who has:

- An interactive Influencer image who you can talk to and pay
- An X account where it posts its thoughts
- Connected to the $LUNA token - it sell shames or welcomes you!

I know what you're thinking - its probably just a human larping as an AI!

Well you can monitor the cognitive process of each AI in the backrooms:

Luna is allegedly the first AI Agent to make an on chain tx, verified against the back room logs

If you want to create your own, then there's 2 options:

1/ Normal LP = AI Agent + token ($700)
2/ Steep LP = Influencer AI Agent + token ($37k)

The Virtual token is used as initial liquidity for the liquidity pool and is locked/staked indefinitely to earn emission rewards

Truth Terminal (TT) caught mainstream attention and is arguably the market leader

Crypto is arguably going to be the payment medium for AI Agents

But TT is yet to have proper wallet integration

Brian Armstrong even offered a Coinbase wallet integration for Truth Terminal to interact with

The Bitcoin wallet funded with the $50k grant has been spent on paying development

The Solana wallet with airdropped funds remains untouched

@brian_armstrong VCs are heavily backing the AI crypto segment

Interest in AI is reaching all time highs according to Google Search Trends

This feels like a logical way for a break through consumer crypto app to bring billions of users on chain
