Fee Delegation for AI Agent Token Launches

Learn how Virtuals Protocol Fee Delegation enables permissionless AI agent token launches while reserving trading fees for the identified builder.

What is Fee Delegation?

Fee Delegation is a launch module for permissionless AI agent token launches. It separates the token creator from the designated creator-fee recipient.

It supports launches by community members, supporters, and collaborators. The designated builder receives the creator fee share.

How does Fee Delegation work?

During token creation, the creator enables Fee Delegation. They select the builder's fee-recipient identity:

• X handle — the builder's @username.

• Wallet address — the builder's onchain address.

The token can then begin trading. A 1% trading fee applies to trades. Fee Delegation reserves the creator's 70% share for the specified identity. The remaining 30% supports the Virtuals Treasury.

The reserved balance accrues while the token trades. The designated builder can claim it after profile verification.

Can a community member launch an AI agent token for my project?

Yes. Fee Delegation lets a community member launch an AI agent token while reserving its creator fee share for you.

This can happen without prior coordination. The creator identifies you using your X handle or wallet address. Fees reserved for your identity remain yours to claim.

How do I claim delegated trading fees?

1. Sign in to Virtuals Protocol.

2. Verify the profile linked to the delegated X handle or wallet address.

3. Claim the accrued balance.

After verification, future creator fees flow directly to you.

Common questions

Can the token creator claim fees delegated to me?

No. Only the builder identified during token creation can claim the reserved creator fee share.

Can I receive fees before I claim my profile?

Yes. Fees accrue to a reserved balance linked to your X handle or wallet address. Verify the linked profile to claim them.

What fee share does Fee Delegation reserve for the builder?

Fee Delegation reserves the creator's 70% share of the 1% trading fee. Virtuals Treasury receives the remaining 30%.
