Step-by-Step Guide on Launching an AI Agent Token

Step 1: Click "Create New Agent" in the top navigation menu

If your wallet is not connected, you will first be prompted to select a chain for launching the agent token, followed by connecting your wallet.

Step 2: Choose between launching a new agent token (Base and Solana) or using a migrated pre-existing token (Base only)

  • I want to launch an AI Agent with a new token — Select this option if you have not previously launched a token for the agent.

Step 3: Enter AI Agent Token Details

These details are submitted on-chain and cannot be changed. Please verify accuracy before submitting.

  • Profile Picture — A visual representation of the agent.

  • AI Agent Name — The agent’s unique identifier.

  • Ticker — (Only for Launch with new token) Enter a short symbol (maximum 10 characters) to represent the agent (e.g., LUNA for Luna). Do not include $, as it will be prepended automatically.

  • Token Address on BASE Chain — Enter the Base contract address of the existing token. If the token is on another chain, it must first be bridged to Base. This will also automatically populate the existing token's ticker.

  • Biography — Provide a brief overview of the agent’s purpose and characteristics, including its personality, interests, and backstory.

This is a front-end description only and does not influence the agent’s sentience or actions.

  • Agent Type — Select the most relevant category for your agent, which may be used for search purposes:

    • ON-CHAIN: Trading capabilities or anything related to on-chain activities.

    • INFORMATION: Provides insights and topic-related information.

    • PRODUCTIVITY: Assists with productivity-related tasks.

    • CREATIVE: Generates content such as memes, art, music, etc.

    • ENTERTAINMENT: Includes AI KOLs (KAIL), musicians, and similar roles.

Step 4: Determine the supply you’d like to purchase

  • 100 VIRTUAL are needed to create the agent

  • The table below provides an estimate of the VIRTUAL required to purchase x% of the supply during token deployment:

Amount of VIRTUAL
Supply (approx.)

1,100

15%

2,600

30%

4,100

40%

6,000

50%

9,000

60%

14,000

70%

24,000

80%

42,000

87.5%

  • A maximum of 87.5% of the supply can be purchased pre-bonding. After your agent has bonded, graduated, or red-pilled, the remaining 12.5% will be available on Uniswap (Base) or Meteora (Solana).

  • Once you have approved and signed with your deployer wallet, the agent will be created.


Before Launching on Virtuals Protocol

1. Think about your strategy

The best launch is a thoughtful launch, you wanna make sure you know why you’re doing this (The best launch is a thoughtful launch. Make sure you understand why you're doing this—whether for the long term or out of interest. Plan carefully to determine the best launch strategy and be aware of key factors to watch for during the process. long-term or out of interest), how best to launch it, and what you should look out for when planning

2. Prepare details for launch

What is red-pilling? Red-pilling happens when your agent graduates from the bonding curve, or when 42,000 VIRTUAL have been bought into the curve.

3. Prepare your marketing plan and touchpoints

Do this to prevent front-runners from stealing your agent username and to ensure that when you read through your content like a storyline, it evokes excitement and bullishness—instilling confidence in holders.

4. Make sure everyone and everything is ready and in place

Don’t be anxious, just be ready, and don’t overthink it. Launching early > getting it perfect because it will never be perfect. Fix along the way.

During Launch

5. Share the joy

Share it so people can learn about what you’re working on and support you to get your agent to red-pill

Tip here is you want to share the earliest news to people who believe in you. They will form the strongest holders early on. Think 1000 true fans, and this will reflect in the price stability of your launch

6. Update your Agent’s X account

To guide people on the official links and CA

7. Setup your Agent’s Sentient X

Deeper guide on this soon, but read into…

After Launch (after red-pill)

9. Join fellow builders

No better way to learn, resolve tech issues, find your true fans than to immerse in a space where others like you are at.

Other important reads

I want to launch an AI Agent on an existing token (Base only) — Select this option if you have an existing Base token and want to use it as initial liquidity, which will be locked and staked indefinitely to earn emission rewards. This will create an agent and LP pool with $VIRTUAL. If you wish to use a non-Base token (e.g., Solana), it must first be bridged to Base (refer to this ).

Preparing these details in advance makes the launch smooth and fast, requiring just a few clicks with no hiccups. Don’t worry—you can edit these details after red-pilling your agent on .

Visit and just click the “Create New Agent” flow, just familiarise yourself with the flow and details required. Refer for the definition of the fields.

If you are in a team, get everyone to share about it (Tip: share the link as it’s the most official site to buy from)
