🤷♂️ 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!

Where do appchains fit into the vision?
.@uniswap's recently announced Unichain has reignited debate about when it's appropriate for an application to launch its own chain and is a perfect case study for appchain feasibility...
So now, let's answer the question: are appchains here to stay?

If you hold the "Based Introduced" NFT, you can claim the new $BASED token on @base 👇
When the testnet of Base was first launched in February 2023, the Layer 2's team released a free commemorative NFT mint, "Base Introduced"
The open edition was collected more than 485k times by over 370k wallets, making it one of the most widely distributed NFTs ever!
Of course, Base hasn't released a native token or announced any official plans to yet, but demand for exposure to Base and its growing community is significant right now.
Enter @GSkrovina who is using the Base Introduced NFT as a proxy for creating an unofficial Base token

1⃣ Solana L2s and Rollups
Solana's 1.18.15 update added a central scheduler for handling high transaction volumes, but ongoing congestion has spurred talks about moving to a modular design with SVM L2s and rollups to tackle costs and congestion.
L2s in development are:
🪄 @magicblock: Ephemeral Rollups for scaling games
🌱 @getgrass_io: AI data verification on a ZK L2
📈 @ZetaMarkets: Perps DEX rollup for better UX
🏦 @iron_xyz: Institutional onchain banking on an L2
These help scalability and target precise use cases
