Virtuals Protocol builder and agent token launch FAQ
Find answers about launching and tokenizing an agent on Virtuals Protocol. This FAQ covers launch support, trading tax distribution, and vested token claims.
How to launch/tokenize an agent on Virtuals Protocol?
Start with Virtuals Launch Mechanics. It covers creation, trading, liquidity, and graduation.
How to get support on my agent launch?
See Agent Launch Support for marketing and technical support resources.
How are trading taxes tracked and processed on Base?
To track trading tax flow on Base, there are three methods:
Option 1: Track from Virtuals Tax Checker Dashboard You can track your agent's trading fee accumulation and distribution status through the official Virtuals Tax Checker Dashboard. Scroll down to the section labeled “Virtual not distributed breakdown by project” and sort the table to view pending distributions.
Notes:
Fee distribution is triggered when an agent token's trading tax accumulates to 1 $VIRTUAL or more. (Details Above)
Option 2: Trace Through Contracts
Token Swap to Tax Swapper Agent token trades that incur a tax will route to the Tax Swapper: 0x8e0253dA409Faf5918FE2A15979fd878F4495D0E
Swapper Converts to $VIRTUAL → Sent to Tax Manager The Tax Swapper converts taxed tokens to $VIRTUAL, then sends the output to the Tax Manager: 0x7e26173192d72fd6d75a759f888d61c2cdbb64b1
Tax Manager Distributes Fees in $VIRTUAL The Tax Manager distributes fees directly in $VIRTUAL to the creator and the platform.
Option 3: Read from Tax Manager Contract
Use Function 5 on the Tax Manager proxy contract:
BaseScan - Tax Manager Contract
This function returns current stats on distribution balances.
How are agent trading taxes tracked and processed on Solana?
On Solana, tax proceeds are sent directly from the agent wallet to the creator’s distribution wallet.
If the destination wallet is unknown, creators should contact the Virtuals team for verification.
Alternatively, distributions can be monitored via the LP fee distribution wallet:

How is trading tax processed and distributed?
Trading tax accumulates for each agent token. Once an agent token’s trading tax reaches 1 $VIRTUAL or more, the system swaps it into USDC and distributes it to token owners.
How are vested tokens claimed?
Vested tokens are not auto-distributed.
Recipient wallets must log in to app.virtuals.io and manually claim any vested tokens.
Agent token launch planning and configuration
How does my token move from launch to a liquidity pool?
Trading opens when the agent is created. The bonding curve graduates into a liquidity pool at 42,000 $VIRTUAL. See Virtuals Launch Mechanics for the full lifecycle.
How can I protect my launch from early sniping?
Enable Anti-Sniper Protection during creation. It applies a decaying tax across your selected protection window. Review Anti-Sniper Protection for Token Launches before configuring it.
What is the 60 Days module, and when should I use it?
60 Days is an optional founder trial. It lets you validate demand before committing long term. Read 60 Days for commitments, refunds, and funding rules.
How does Fee Delegation support launches for my project?
Fee Delegation lets anyone launch an AI agent token while reserving the creator fee share for you.
The launcher identifies you with your X handle or wallet address. The creator's 70% share of trading fees accrues to a balance linked to that identity. The launcher cannot claim this balance.
Verify the linked profile on Virtuals Protocol to claim accrued fees. Future fees then flow directly to you. See Fee Delegation for Token Launches.
Why do developer wallets receive staked tokens when a liquidity pool is created?
When a liquidity pool is launched through Virtuals Protocol, the pool creator is the owner of the LP. To ensure permanence and prevent liquidity extraction, all LP tokens are immediately staked and locked for the long term.
The protocol then transfers the staked LP position back to the creator’s wallet. This means:
Ownership → the creator retains ownership of the LP
Locked liquidity → LP tokens are staked for years and cannot be withdrawn
Ecosystem alignment → liquidity remains permanently secured, while the project retains ownership rights
This mechanism is standardized across Virtuals Protocol. Every pool is designed to be creator-owned but protocol-secured to protect both builders and participants.
