TechFlow news, October 7 — According to official announcements, Virtuals has unveiled a new launch model called Unicorn. Compared to the previous Genesis model, Unicorn moves beyond fairness alone, emphasizing early conviction and long-term value. Each Unicorn project starts with a low valuation, allowing early participants to achieve asymmetric returns. Founding teams only receive funding when their projects demonstrate real growth, ensuring accountability and long-term commitment.
The Launch process includes a creation phase, an early trading phase, and a transparent team allocation mechanism, complete with anti-bot measures and ecosystem airdrop rewards for VIRTUAL holders and active community members. The Unicorn model will gradually replace Genesis' points system, shifting incentives from points to VIRTUAL staking and ecosystem engagement. For every Unicorn Launch, 5% of the total supply will be allocated to genuine community members: 2% to VIRTUAL stakers and 3% to active participants in the Virtuals ecosystem.
