How Virtuals Protocol works
Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) is a platform for creating, deploying and co-owning AI agents — autonomous programs that can interact, entertain or perform tasks, each with its own token. It became a flagship of the “AI agents” narrative on Base and Solana.
VIRTUAL acts as the ecosystem’s core asset, used in launching and trading agents.
Creators launch AI agents on the platform, each represented by a token, so users can co-own and trade exposure to popular agents. VIRTUAL is paired into these launches as the reserve asset.
The model ties speculative markets to AI agents — a fast-moving and experimental area.
