… 2. Enhancing Discovery of High-Quality Assets Investing is ultimately about investing in people—even speculation requires assessing whether the team is credible. We are refining our platform to emphasize the importance of the teams behind each token. •Encouraging Doxxed Teams: Whether it’s linking Twitter and LinkedIn profiles, engaging in Twitter Spaces, or participating in public discussions, transparency fosters accountability to both the token and the community. •Showcasing AI Agent Products: We aim to highlight the tangible work behind tokens, including development activity on GitHub. Some teams are even working on diligence and GitHub evaluation Agents to facilitate this. •Building Distribution Channels: The challenge isn’t just about identifying great assets—it’s about ensuring they get the visibility they deserve. 3. Ensuring a Network Effect for High-Quality Asset Supply We have just completed a major technical upgrade with the release of the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) designed to enable AI agents to collaborate and transact on-chain like humans. I’ll be providing a detailed breakdown in the coming days. One reason AI Agents are often discussed alongside memes is that their on-chain token utility remains underdeveloped—too much focus has been placed on mindshare rather than economic activity. The key to transforming AI Agents into truly crypto-native products is enabling meaningful economic activity on-chain. This shift will: •Establish AI-driven economies with network effects •Attract more AI entrepreneurs to launch their agents and assets on-chain •Elevate AI Agents beyond mere “meme-tier” speculation into productive, revenue-generating entities 3. AI Represents a Fundamentally Different Industry from Anything Before On a macro level, all prior business models revolved around serving humans or human organizations. However, AI challenges human-centric principles. When AI surpasses human capabilities, how will humanity benefit and survive? Many of us place our hopes in blockchain and crypto. Why do we believe that every AI in the future will issue tokens? Because when AI no longer exists solely to serve humans—but instead seeks financial autonomy—it will need its own accounts, capital, and sovereignty. That’s when people will realize just how essential blockchain is, and how valuable AI ownership will become. On a micro level, many of today’s top AI products are already generating tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in revenue with teams as small as a few individuals. Meanwhile, VC dynamics are being reshaped, not just in crypto but across the entire equity investment space. Asset issuance is evolving. The nature of entrepreneurship and fundraising is changing. Virtuals is approaching this from a macro-economic perspective, constructing a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI. We are so early. “
