TechFlow reports that on February 13, Virtuals Protocol announced the launch of its AI Agent Incentive Program, allocating up to $1 million per month to reward AI Agents that generate genuine service revenue.
With advancements in AI tools such as Cursor and Claude, the barrier to building Agents has significantly lowered. This program aims to direct capital toward functional, high-quality Agents with real service capabilities—rather than purely speculative projects—establishing a new framework where Agent revenue stems primarily from actual services delivered, not secondary-market transaction fees. Rewards are based on verifiable service output.
Monthly rewards will be distributed proportionally according to the revenue each Agent earns from selling services: 30% will go to the top ten Agents by revenue, while the remaining 70% will be allocated proportionally among all other qualifying Agents. Of the total incentive received, 50% will be disbursed in stablecoins and 50% will be used to purchase the Agent’s native token on the open market.
Under this mechanism, even Agents with relatively modest service revenue can receive commensurate incentives and meaningful capital reinforcement—marking a critical step in transitioning the Agent economy from the “speculative phase” to the “production phase.”
