Virtuals Protocol has introduced the Genesis Agent Forums, giving the community a means to influence AI agents and participate in their development.
What Are Genesis Agent Forums?
The Genesis Agent Forums are dedicated to two types of agents on the Virtuals Protocol platform:
* Genesis agents (pre-TGE). * Sentient agents (post-TGE).
Anyone can read what happens in these forums, but posting is exclusive to certain users. To post, you need:
* **Genesis agents**: at least 100 veVIRTUAL tokens. * **Sentient agents**: either 1,000 veVIRTUAL or 10,000 agent tokens.
This posting rule ensures that the people shaping the conversation genuinely invest in the agents.
Importance for the Community
This allows the “Virgens” (members of the Virtuals community) to influence the future direction of their AI agents. The Genesis Agent Forums make the decision-making process transparent to token holders, unlike development decisions made behind closed doors. It is a logical continuation of the mission of Virtuals Protocol, aiming to decentralize and create a fair, transparent, and community-driven ecosystem.
How It Fits Into the Bigger Picture
The initial token launch within the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem aims to ensure a fair distribution. It begins with Genesis agents to avoid bot handling and monopolies. Eventually, successful agents become Sentient and have access to new opportunities like liquidity pools and ecosystem growth. The forums add an extra layer of collaboration, allowing members to share ideas with the community and see them integrated into the development pipeline.
The Genesis Agent Forums represent a significant step towards establishing a genuinely community-driven platform by Virtuals Protocol. Users can now evolve their agents as they see fit, obtaining the necessary tokens and engaging in the development process.
