The Miracle of the Digital World: The Rise and Transformation of AI Agent Platforms

In June 2025, the crypto space witnessed an unprecedented feast of wealth: the new project IRIS debuted with an initial market value of $200,000 on a special platform, and after its launch, the market value skyrocketed to $80 million, setting an astonishing record with a 400-fold increase. This performance not only far surpassed previous records of increase but also left other popular projects in its ecosystem in the shadows. As the driving force behind this myth, the platform's token VIRTUAL achieved a 400% surge within six months, with its market value peak exceeding $5 billion. Today, the platform has firmly established itself as the largest AI agent launch platform on a certain network. Behind this nationwide celebration lies an experiment in wealth distribution reconstructed based on point rules, quietly reshaping the speculative logic and value order of the crypto market.

Ruins Rebirth: From Game Community to AI Intelligent Agent Platform

This highly regarded platform is deployed on a certain Layer-2 network, dedicated to pioneering an on-chain AI agent economy that allows users to easily create, co-own, and monetize autonomous AI roles. Its predecessor was a gaming guild established in Malaysia in 2021. Initially focused on Play-to-Earn projects and NFT communities, it successfully raised approximately $16 million through precise layouts in multiple popular projects, reaching a valuation close to $600 million, and accumulated a rich collection of gaming assets and an active player community. However, the 2022 bear market severely impacted GameFi, causing project token prices to plummet nearly 99%, and its market value shrank to less than $6 million. The team attempted various business lines, all of which failed, and the project was on the verge of being shelved.

By the end of 2023, the wave of generative AI swept the globe, and the concept of AI agents became a new trend in cryptocurrency. The community resolved to fully transform into an AI-driven protocol through on-chain voting (with a support rate of up to 90%), shifting its core strategy to "assetizing, tokenizing AI agents, and empowering the community." This transformation is based on a profound insight: the team discovered that the market size of virtual idols in Japan is enormous, but creators receive limited earnings; at the same time, experiments from a certain platform have proven that AI-driven NPCs can increase player retention rates by approximately three times. These two key data points directly led to the positioning of "profitable AI personalities."

In October 2024, the platform went live on the mainnet and launched its first multimodal AI agent - the virtual idol Luna. Luna integrates technologies such as text generation, 3D motion, voice synthesis, and smart contract wallet, enabling it to autonomously raise operating funds and distribute rewards to fans. After its launch, Luna quickly gained 500,000 followers on social media, and its monthly income reached $1.2 million solely from fan tips, successfully validating the business model and technical feasibility of on-chain AI agents. Its demonstration effect attracted a large number of developers to pay attention to the project itself.

Riding on the success momentum of projects like Luna, the platform will launch its core token VIRTUAL at the end of 2024 on multiple exchanges and networks. Its price skyrocketed from an initial few cents to a historical high of $5.15, with a market cap once exceeding $5 billion, far surpassing most Layer-2 and DeFi projects during the same period, marking the platform's entry into the mainstream crypto market. The platform's unique "low barrier, high incentive" mechanism is highly attractive: users only need to stake about 10 VIRTUAL (approximately $200) to create a new AI agent and automatically generate a liquidity pool locked for 10 years; when the token's market cap reaches around $500,000, the system will release a liquidity layer on the exchange to ensure trading depth and price stability. This model significantly lowers the participation threshold and stimulates enthusiasm for ecological construction.

By June 2025, the ecosystem has shown significant scale and economic effects: the cumulative number of AI agents incubated has exceeded 11,000, covering diverse scenarios such as virtual idols, trading advisors, game engines, and content incubation. The platform has nurtured almost over 80% of the AI agents on the chain, and its generative multimodal agent framework has also become a popular choice for agents in the fields of Web3 gaming and the metaverse. However, the platform's vision goes far beyond becoming the leader in AI agent issuance. Its white paper clearly states that the ultimate goal is to build a true "AI Sovereign Society." Therefore, how to attract more ecosystem members to join is key to achieving this grand goal and will be a focus of its development for a long time to come.

Innovative New Issue Model: Pioneering a New Paradigm for AI Asset Issuance

To attract more user attention, the platform has innovatively introduced the "Genesis Launch" mechanism to issue AI agent tokens. Unlike traditional linear airdrops or fixed issuances, Genesis Launch is based on the concept of "contribution points," emphasizing participation and contribution rather than pure speculation. This mechanism quickly became a sensation across the internet upon its launch and has now become the new go-to place for enthusiastic participants, with even seasoned speculators discussing how it may replace the once-popular "Alpha airdrop" model. In contrast to traditional airdrops that are distributed all at once, where users often sell immediately, Genesis Launch places greater emphasis on "contribution equals distribution," providing everyone with an opportunity to participate in new token subscriptions based on real contributions. Almost daily in the official community, members can be seen sharing screenshots of their earnings from participating in new token launches using contribution points, and this transparent rule and threshold has completely overturned the situation of "wealthy individuals taking all, while retail investors miss out."

Taking IRIS as an example, the project launched its presale in mid-May, locking in over 120 million points in less than 24 hours, with oversubscription reaching 1500%. Tens of thousands of users shared 37.5% of the community share. On the day of listing, the market value of IRIS skyrocketed from $200,000 to $80 million, an increase of over 400 times, breaking the industry record for AI Agent issuance, which instantly overshadowed the previously popular projects in other ecosystems.

The reason why Genesis Launch was able to rapidly gain popularity lies in its construction of a "incentive---contribution---reward" closed loop. First, users can earn basic contribution points by staking VIRTUAL or holding the highly sought-after AI Agent tokens within the ecosystem; secondly, users can accumulate more points by participating in social promotion, trading on the platform, or staking tokens from other projects. This way, whether you are a technical novice or an experienced trader, you can find a suitable way to contribute through financial investment or content promotion, greatly stimulating community activity and innovation.

In stark contrast, traditional airdrops often rely solely on coin snapshots or the completion of complex tasks. Users typically sell the coins on the same day they receive them. According to data, over 90% of airdropped tokens experience significant price drops within 15 days of issuance, with a three-month retention rate of less than 12%. In contrast, Genesis Launch employs a points locking and punitive cooling mechanism: if the newly acquired tokens are sold within 24 hours of unlocking, it will trigger a 10-day points reset, significantly curbing the arbitrage behavior of "sheep shearing" participants, making them more inclined to hold long-term and contribute continuously.

At the same time, the platform provides ample liquidity support for the listing of new tokens. Each Agent Token is paired with a certain amount of VIRTUAL or stablecoins injected into the liquidity pool before the opening, ensuring that there is no awkward situation of "unable to buy at the price" or "unable to sell the order" on the exchange or trading platform. To prevent whales or bots from occupying a large share through multi-wallet sniper tactics, Genesis Launch sets a limit of no more than 0.5% of the total issuance for each address and employs on-chain randomization algorithms to further balance distribution, ensuring that small and medium users can also reap considerable shares.

The success of this new investment model is not only due to the popularity of new token issuances but also drives the "old leads new" effect of ecosystem tokens. Since the large-scale launch of Genesis Launch, the trading volume and price of VIRTUAL have been steadily rising: by mid-June 2025, the daily trading volume of VIRTUAL on-chain had exceeded $150 million, an increase of over 80% compared to May; meanwhile, holding and staking VIRTUAL to obtain governance tokens also allows users to continue earning additional contribution points, resulting in a large number of users locking up their assets to participate in ecosystem governance for the long term, further solidifying price support and liquidity.

Not only retail investors are flocking to participate, but institutions are also showing strong interest in this new mechanism of "contribution for returns." In June 2025, the world's first perpetual contract based on VIRTUAL was launched on a certain platform, supporting trading with leverage of up to 2000 times. On the first day of its launch, the contract's trading volume surpassed 700 million USD in one go, sending a strong signal: this project is becoming a new target for speculation and hedging in the eyes of institutional investors.

The Theory of Ecological Evolution: The Thrilling Leap from Token Issuance Platforms to AI Sovereign Societies

In the future planning of the platform, each technological upgrade and mechanism innovation aims to make the outline of the "AI Sovereign Society" increasingly clear. In the initial stage, the platform was merely an AI agent issuance platform, quickly gathering a group of enthusiastic developers and users through token economic mechanisms such as locking liquidity and buyback destruction. As hundreds of AI agent projects were implemented, agents began to operate independently and autonomously monetize in scenarios like gaming, content creation, and market analysis. Users were no longer just spectators, but became co-builders and beneficiaries. The Genesis Launch connected project growth and community participation with the logic of "contribution equals distribution," promoting the free flow of funds and creativity within the ecosystem.

But the real turning point is the "Agent Nation" blueprint proposed by the team. This is not just a slogan, but the core path of ecological evolution. The platform enables each AI agent to migrate freely across multiple networks through an open SDK and cross-chain support; through the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), agents can sign contracts, deliver, settle, and repurchase on-chain, achieving a true autonomous commercial closed loop; community participation is granted governance rights through staking governance tokens and sharing transaction fees and repurchase dividends, merging the identities of "participants" and "owners" in the token economy. All of this is building a prototype of a digital nation operated by countless autonomous agents and co-governing humans.

So far, this ecosystem has demonstrated several milestone achievements: the security audit agent IRIS in the Ethereum mainnet Genesis Launch was listed with an oversubscription rate of 1500%, with its market value soaring from $200,000 to $80 million; the virtual idol Luna achieved a monthly income of $1.2 million through fan donations, with its token market value surpassing $120 million; the hedge fund-style VADER is steadily operating in a cross-chain environment, with a market value exceeding $100 million... These data not only reflect the feasibility of the agent business model but also prove that the "AI agency economy" is moving from theory to reality.

With the continuous maturation of multimodal AI technology and cross-chain interoperability, this platform is undoubtedly at the forefront of building digital civilization. In the future, AI agents will not only be props and tools but will also become "digital citizens" with autonomous decision-making power and economic rights, participating alongside humans in production, governance, and even cultural creation. The platform will no longer be a simple tool but is nurturing a new type of society from the ground up, one that is co-governed by countless AIs and humans – this is the true ecological evolution, and a thrilling leap towards an "AI sovereign society" has just begun.
