More on Genesis Launch

What is Genesis Launch?

Genesis Launches are designed as a fair and permissionless token distribution mechanics tailored for AI agents within the Virtuals Protocol.

This system provides:

  • AI Agent teams with the broadest possible holder base from Day 1 — increasing visibility, alignment, and market velocity.

  • Ecosystem participants (“Virgens”) with early access to top-tier agent projects through point-based eligibility and fair allocation.

Genesis Launches move early exposure away from opaque launches toward public, measurable participation.


Why We're Doing This?

Too often, good projects get buried under low-signal noise. Cabals dominate supply, snipers drain early liquidity, and true contributors are left out of the story. Genesis flips that model.

By rewarding participation and structuring access around ecosystem contribution, we enable a launch mechanism that:

  • Signals quality ahead of TGE

  • Amplifies mindshare and bids from the very beginning

  • Aligns builders and early adopters around long-term outcomes

Genesis isn’t just about fairness. It’s about building a launch layer that respects attention, conviction, and coordination.

Other questions

What is the market FDV of a Genesis launch vs. the pledge FDV?

In a Genesis launch, two FDVs are defined by design, one during the Genesis pledge phase, and another at the moment of market deployment. Both serve distinct purposes in the lifecycle of an agent.

Genesis Pledge FDV: 112,000 $VIRTUAL

During the 24-hour pledge window, Virgens contribute 42,000 $VIRTUAL in exchange for 37.5% of the total token supply.

This sets an implied pre-launch FDV of:

42,000 Ă· 0.375 = 112,000 $VIRTUAL

This valuation is exclusive to Virgens participating through point-based pledging. If the 42,000 $VIRTUAL target isn’t reached, the launch is canceled and all funds and points are fully refunded.

Market FDV: 336,000 $VIRTUAL

Once the Genesis launch is successful, 12.5% of the total token supply is deployed into a liquidity pool with the same 42,000 $VIRTUAL in protocol-backed liquidity.

This sets the market FDV at:

42,000 Ă· 0.125 = 336,000 $VIRTUAL

In short:

  • Virgens enter at a 112k FDV during the pledge phase.

  • The open market begins at a 336k FDV at launch.

Both are intentional, rewarding early conviction while establishing strong liquidity for agent tokens.

How To Prevent Snipers?

If you're launching a new agent, we recommend scooping up supply for yourselves as the devs to mitigate potential snipers coming in to scoop post launch.

We also recommend you do this in the same block as to when the agent is deployed.

What do I do if I want my tokens to be airdropped to Virtuals community?

We offer a standard airdrop strategy for developers who wish to conduct an airdrop. Speak to our Business Development Team for more details.

I need some launch advice. Who can I reach out to?

Yes! Start by reading these key materials to cement your positioning before launching:

There’s no single best way to structure token-related prompts, focus on defining your agent's characteristics, thought process, and responses. Everything is editable later.

Alternatively, speak to us. Note that this would take longer as we receive massive inquiries.
