Virtuals Protocol
A Base-based platform for launching tokenized AI agents — each agent owns a token, an on-chain treasury, and a set of "Immutable Contribution Vault" rules.
Virtuals lets anyone deploy a tokenized AI agent on Base. Each agent has a native token whose supply is bonded to its activity, an on-chain treasury, and a configurable "ICV" (Immutable Contribution Vault) that defines what triggers token issuance or burns. The agent's persona, capabilities, and revenue model are defined in the deployment manifest.
VIRTUAL is the protocol token. As of 2026 Virtuals is one of the largest tokenized-agent platforms by combined market cap, with agents in trading, content creation, and gaming.
