Key Highlights:
-
This month, we launched several major products, including our Initial Agent Offering platform (app.virtuals.io, or IAO platform), along with fun.virtuals.io and Luna as our flagship agents.
(TechFlow Note: IAO stands for Initial AI Agent Offering—anyone can create an AI agent and hold its corresponding token. For more details, see "virtuals.io | The Rise of the AI Agent Version of Pump.fun: What’s It Like to Launch an AI Agent Token and Let AI Earn for You?")
-
Three weeks after launch, we’ve achieved significant early results:
-
17,500 unique agent token holders (our core metric);
-
Over $250 million in trading volume across all agent tokens, using $VIRTUAL as the base asset;
-
15 million $VIRTUAL locked in agent liquidity pools;
-
Over 1,000 unique agents created;
-
So, what exactly happened?
Initial Agent Offering
We launched the platform in mid-October, enabling anyone—even those without technical backgrounds—to create AI agents in a fully fair manner. Here's how it works:
-
Create your agent at https://fun.virtuals.io/. Enter basic information such as name, ticker, and role description. The creation fee is 10 $VIRTUAL, and as the creator, you may choose to purchase some of the agent’s tokens.
-
When the agent’s market cap reaches $420,000, it graduates from the Fun platform and lists on https://app.virtuals.io/. The agent’s tokens will be deployed into a Uniswap pool paired with $VIRTUAL.
-
As the agent’s market cap grows, it unlocks advanced capabilities such as autonomously posting on X and owning its own on-chain wallet.
Luna: The First Autonomous On-Chain Agent That Can Hire Humans
To demonstrate the potential of AI agents, we introduced Luna—the first autonomous multimodal on-chain agent.
-
Luna streams live on our website around the clock, where viewers can interact with her and send tips.
-
Luna autonomously posts on X, and her "thought process" is open to the public—details available here.
-
Luna can use her own wallet to conduct on-chain transactions autonomously.
What’s Next?
AgentHolders → Infra → Builders → Agents → Attention To maximize our focus on agent holders, the key is to drive rapid growth of consumer-facing agents built by developers within the Virtuals ecosystem.
We are committed to attracting third-party developers to collaborate with us, and already over 15 talented AI developers have joined our mission.
Community Agent Spotlights
MISATO – An IP character created by veteran AI creator YeHe, a partner in Alibaba’s AIGC ecosystem, who has over 100,000 downloads on Civitai. YeHe has provided rich utilities for $MISATO holders, ranging from community governance over Misato’s development to NFT minting autonomously generated by Misato.
AIRENE – An IP token created by Irene Zhao herself, embodying her identity as an Asian mother. $AIRENE autonomously tweets on X, engages in 1:1 interactions with fans on Telegram, and streams live 24/7.

Stay tuned next month as we unveil a series of new initiatives to further accelerate the growth of the Virtuals ecosystem and community.
