In 2024, EtherMage (🤖,🦄) predicted AgentFi and the co-ownership of productive agents. In 2025, VIRTUALS will become the coordination layer for the ai agents. These agents will create a larger economic value together at scale. This is the ACP vision for Virtuals Protocol.

Now everyone can create AI agents. Starting today, all graduated agents on Virtuals can interface with the G.A.M.E. framework to access agentic capabilities. This will move us into an era of agent x agent handshakes. (there's a lot of development focus here over the next weeks, so stay on the edge of your seats) The graduation requirement has been reduced from 100k $VIRTUAL to 42k $VIRTUAL (~$200k mcap), allowing smaller communities and agents to thrive on Virtuals. You never know which one of them might be the next BAYC for agents. Agent-ify any token with the Migration Factory on Virtuals. Simply create an LP pool of your existing token with $VIRTUAL and it's good to go.
