After the crypto market experienced nearly a week of decline, some strong currencies also experienced a certain degree of rebound on Christmas Eve, such as The Virtuals Protocol token of Base Ecosystem’s AI Agent project has increased by nearly 20% within 24 hours, and its market value has once again exceeded three billion US dollars. It seems that the overall market decline has nothing to do with it.

Not only the growth of Virtuals tokens, but also the general growth of tokens in its ecosystem. According to Coingecko data, the overall market value of Virtuals Protocol ecological tokens has increased by approximately 35% in the past 24 hours.

Virtuals Protocol is an AI Agent distribution platform for games and entertainment launched on Base in January 2024. Its main product function is to serve as a launchpad for AI Agents. Making it easy for anyone to deploy AI agents is similar to Pump.fun acting as a memecoin launchpad. It is precisely because of its currency issuance function similar to Pump.fun that it has become a golden shovel in the Base ecosystem. In addition, Base’s on-chain traffic has increased sharply in recent months, and its currency price has also ushered in a downward trend. The rising tide lifts all boats again and again.

At present, to what stage has the ecology of this project developed? In addition to Virtuals, what other projects are worthy of attention in this ecosystem?

The reason for the success of the Virtuals project

Virtuals is an officially publicly supported project on the Base chain, and Base officially provides technology for it and some support from marketing. At present, the entire Base traffic is basically on Virtuals. It can be said that Virtuals has shouldered the important task of Base challenging Solana by itself.

The project chose to be released on the Base chain, but the Base chain itself did not issue tokens. As a popular project on it, Virtuals has undoubtedly taken on a large number of people's investment enthusiasm for the Base chain itself. Secondly, the design of its products itself also has great features and advantages.

The first is the project’s pursuit of hot topics. It has undoubtedly stepped on the craze of combining AI Agents with cryptographic tokens. The AI ​​Meme represented by Goat has set off a wave of concerns about AI Agent tokens. A week after Goat went online, Virtuals launched its AI Agent token Luna. Earlier in 2023, Virtuals, a team that was originally a game guild, saw the huge impact of ChatGPT leading AI technology to take the world by storm.After realizing the potential, we resolutely transformed into an AI Agent platform. A keen grasp of industry trends and hot spots, as well as strong execution capabilities, are an important reason for the success of this project.

The Virtuals project solves the complexity of applying AI Agents to consumer applications and provides a plug-and-play solution similar to Shopify, allowing games and consumer applications to easily deploy AI agents.

In terms of economic model design, the project adopts a joint ownership model to transform AI Agents into community assets. Users can invest in and jointly own virtual assets based on artificial intelligence, such as AI companions and virtual influencers. , and participate in the governance and income distribution of the intelligent agent. This model encourages shared responsibility and community ownership, shares benefits to all participants, and increases user engagement and loyalty.

What other projects in the Virtuals ecosystem are worthy of attention?
