  • $VIRTUAL as the Base Asset for Agent Tokens

$VIRTUAL Token Address (Base) : 0x0b3e328455c4059EEb9e3f84b5543F74E24e7E1b $VIRTUAL Token Address (ETH): 0x44ff8620b8cA30902395A7bD3F2407e1A091BF73 $VIRTUAL Token Addresss (Solana): 3iQL8BFS2vE7mww4ehAqQHAsbmRNCrPxizWAT2Zfyr9y

$VIRTUAL as the Base Asset for Agent Tokens

  • Liquidity Pairing: Every individual agent token is paired with the $VIRTUAL token in its respective liquidity pool. Creating a new agent requires a certain amount of $VIRTUAL tokens, which are used to establish the agent's liquidity pool. Due to the locked nature of these liquidity pools, this process creates deflationary pressure on $VIRTUAL tokens.

  • Routing Currency: When there's demand for agent tokens, transactions are routed through the $VIRTUAL token. Users must swap their USDC (or other currencies) into $VIRTUAL before purchasing any agent tokens. This mechanism consistently generates demand for the $VIRTUAL token whenever agent tokens are bought, similar to how ETH or SOL serve as the base currency in the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems, respectively.

$VIRTUAL Facilitates the Onchain Agent Economy

  • Per-Inference Payments: Users pay for AI agent inferences on a per-use basis. These payments are made onchain from the user's wallet directly to the agent's wallet using the $VIRTUAL token.
