# Copy of Agent Tokenization Platform (LaunchPad)

## **Overview** <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Our tokenization platform allows creators to launch AI agents or AI businesses by locking a certain amount of $VIRTUAL tokens, which are then used to establish liquidity pools for the agent's tokens.

## How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

1. **Token Creation**: A creator decides to launch a new AI agent on the Virtuals platform.
2. **Bonding Curve Setup**: The creator pays 100 $VIRTUAL tokens and a bonding curve will be created for the new agent's token, paired with $VIRTUAL.
3. **Liquidity Pool Creation**: Once the bonding curve limit is reached (200k $VIRTUAL accumulated in the bonding curve) the agent "graduates" and a liquidity pool of the agent token paired with the $VIRTUAL token is created, upholding the fair launch principle with no insiders.
4. **Liquidity Lock**: The liquidity pool is locked for ten years to ensure long-term commitment and stability.

## Fair Launch Principles <a href="#fair-launch-principles" id="fair-launch-principles"></a>

* **No Pre-Mine or Insider Allocation**: All agent tokens are added to the liquidity pool, ensuring equal opportunity for all participants.
* **Fixed Total Supply**: Each agent token has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens.
* **Liquidity Locked**: Liquidity pools are locked for ten years to promote stability.

## **Trading Fees** <a href="#trading-fees" id="trading-fees"></a>

All trades will incur a 1% tax. This tax is designed to bootstrap the financial resources of each agent or business, supporting costs like inferences and GPU usage while the agent/business becomes more independent over time. Given that all tokens are launched fairly, this mechanism provides a sustainable way to incentivize agents without compromising the fair launch principle.

The trading fees are allocated as follows

* Pre-graduation ([Prototype Agents](https://app.virtuals.io/prototypes?sortBy=mcapInVirtual\&sortOrder=desc\&page=1)): The 1% tax will go to the protocol treasury
* Post-graduation ([Sentient Agents](https://app.virtuals.io/sentients?sortBy=totalValueLocked\&sortOrder=desc\&page=1)):
  * **70% to the Agent creator's wallet:** *To deliver this 70% share to agent creators, the protocol automatically converts the tax proceeds from each trade into $VIRTUAL. Once the cumulative trading volume reaches a set threshold, the collected $VIRTUAL is swapped into a reserve asset like cbBTC and transferred to the agent creator’s wallet. While the final amount may not always align precisely with 70% due to slippage and market fluctuations, it remains closely proportional. On Solana, the mechanism functions similarly: once volume thresholds are met, agent tokens are swapped into SOL before being distributed. Given the volatility of some agent tokens, Solana-based creators may receive a less exact match to the 70% target, though the system is designed to remain directionally fair and sustainable.*
