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 every Genesis launch, two FDVs are defined by design: one during the pledge phase and another at the moment of market deployment. Each serves a distinct role in the lifecycle of an agent.
Genesis Pledge FDV: Dynamic (Tier-Based)
During the 24-hour pledge window, Virgens contribute $VIRTUAL in exchange for 7% of the total token supply.
This sets an implied pre-launch FDV that depends on the final tier reached:
Tier 1 (21,000 $VIRTUAL pledged):
21,000 Ă· 0.07 = 300,000 $VIRTUAL FDV
Tier 2 (42,000 $VIRTUAL pledged):
42,000 Ă· 0.07 = 600,000 $VIRTUAL FDV
Tier 3 (100,000 $VIRTUAL pledged):
100,000 Ă· 0.07 = 1,428,571 $VIRTUAL FDV
If Tier 1 (21,000 $VIRTUAL) is not reached, the launch is canceled and all funds and points are fully refunded.
If pledges exceed Tier 2 (42,000 $VIRTUAL) but do not reach Tier 3 (100,000 $VIRTUAL), the pledge FDV is locked at the Tier 2 (600k FDV).
Market FDV: Tier-Linked
Once the Genesis launch is successful, 6% of the total token supply is deployed into a liquidity pool, paired with the pledged $VIRTUAL.
This sets the market FDV depending on the final tier:
Tier 1 (21k):
21,000 Ă· 0.06 = 350,000 $VIRTUAL FDV
Tier 2 (42k):
42,000 Ă· 0.06 = 700,000 $VIRTUAL FDV
Tier 3 (100k):
100,000 Ă· 0.06 = 1,666,667 $VIRTUAL FDV
In short:
Virgens enter at a tier-based pledge FDV (7% supply).
The open market always begins at a fixed market FDV (6% supply).
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.
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.
