What is Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)?

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) is the native token of Virtuals Protocol, an AI agent tokenisation platform built on Base. VIRTUAL is used to launch and trade AI agents, govern the protocol, and accrue value as activity grows across the network's AI agent ecosystem.

The History of Virtuals Protocol

Virtuals Protocol launched on Base in 2024, growing rapidly through late 2024 and into 2025 as one of the leading platforms in the AI agent category. The protocol allows anyone to create tokenised AI agents that can interact across social media, on-chain applications, and Web3 environments. By early 2025, Virtuals had hosted thousands of AI agents and generated billions of US dollars in cumulative trading volume.

The Use Case of Virtuals Protocol

The primary use case for VIRTUAL is to launch and pair with new AI agents on the platform. Each new agent token is initially paired with VIRTUAL, meaning every agent launch generates demand for VIRTUAL as users acquire it to invest in or interact with the agent.

VIRTUAL also supports governance and value accrual within the protocol. As the AI agent category grows, with agents now used for crypto trading research, gaming, social media, and content creation, VIRTUAL captures the value of being the underlying liquidity asset for the largest agent platform on Base.
