The New Era of AI Agent Economy: The Rise of Intelligent Agent Issuance Platform from the Remains of Blockchain Games

In June 2025, the crypto space witnessed a shocking wealth migration event. The new project IRIS debuted with an initial market value of $200,000 through a platform called Genesis Launch, and after being listed on exchanges, its market value skyrocketed to $80 million, setting an astonishing record of a 400-fold increase. This performance not only far exceeded the previous record of a 40-fold increase but also made earlier popular projects pale in comparison. As the driving force behind this myth, the platform token VIRTUAL achieved a 400% surge within six months, with its market cap peaking over $5 billion. Currently, the platform has become the largest AI agent launch platform on a certain network. Behind this nationwide celebration is, in fact, an experiment in wealth distribution reconstructed based on point rules, quietly reshaping the speculative logic and value order of the crypto market.

The Rebirth of the Game Guild into an AI Intelligent Agent Platform

This decentralized platform is deployed on a certain Layer-2 network and is dedicated to pioneering an on-chain AI agent economy, allowing users to easily create, co-own, and monetize autonomous AI characters. Its predecessor was a gaming guild established in Malaysia in 2021. Initially focused on Play-to-Earn projects and the NFT community, it successfully raised approximately $16 million with precise positioning in popular gaming projects, reaching a valuation of nearly $600 million at one point, accumulating a wealth of gaming assets and an active player community. However, the 2022 bear market severely impacted GameFi, causing the guild's token price to plummet by nearly 99%, with its market value shrinking to less than $6 million. The team’s attempts at multiple business lines all 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. Through on-chain DAO voting (with a support rate of up to 90%), the resolution was to completely transform into an AI-driven protocol, with the core strategy shifting to "assetizing, tokenizing AI agents, and empowering the community." This transformation is based on profound insights: the team discovered that the market size of virtual idols in Japan exceeds 100 billion yen, but creators receive less than 20% of the revenue; at the same time, experiments by a certain platform proved that AI-driven NPCs can increase player retention rates by approximately three times. These two pieces of data directly gave rise to the positioning of "profitable AI personalities."

In October 2024, the platform launched on the mainnet and introduced its first multimodal AI agent - the virtual idol Luna. Luna integrates technologies such as text generation, 3D motion, voice synthesis, and smart contract wallets, enabling it to autonomously raise operational funds and distribute rewards to fans. After its launch, Luna quickly gained 500,000 followers on social media, with a monthly income of $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' attention.

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

By June 2025, the ecosystem has demonstrated 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 nearly 80% of AI agents on the internet, and its generative multimodal intelligent agent framework G.A.M.E has also become a popular choice for agents in the Web3 gaming and metaverse sectors. 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 truly "AI sovereign society." Therefore, how to attract more ecosystem members to join will be the key to achieving this grand goal and will be a focus of its development for a long time to come.

Innovative New Model: Creating a New Paradigm for AI Asset Issuance

In order to attract more user attention, the platform has innovatively introduced the "Genesis Launch" mechanism for the issuance of AI agent tokens. Unlike traditional linear airdrops or fixed issuances, the Genesis Launch is based on the concept of "Virgen Points," emphasizing participation and contribution rather than pure speculation. Once launched, the Genesis Launch quickly became a sensation across the internet and has now become a new hotspot for "flippers" to participate in, with even seasoned speculators discussing how it could replace the once-popular "Alpha airdrop" model. Compared to traditional airdrops that are issued in one go, where users often sell immediately, the Genesis Launch places greater emphasis on "contribution equals distribution," allowing everyone the opportunity to participate in new coin subscriptions based on real input. Almost daily in the official community, members can be seen sharing screenshots of their earnings from participating in the new launches using Virgen Points, which has completely overturned the situation of "rich grabbing, retail investors left out" with its open and transparent rules and thresholds.

Taking IRIS as an example, the project launched a presale in mid-May, locking in over 120 million points in less than 24 hours, with a subscription oversubscription rate reaching 1500%. Tens of thousands of users shared 37.5% of the community share. On the day of listing, IRIS's market value soared from $200,000 to $80 million, an increase of more than 400 times, setting a new industry record for AI Agent issuance, and instantly dimming the previous hype of a certain ecosystem's "meme coin season."

The reason why Genesis Launch was able to explode in popularity so quickly lies in its construction of a "incentive—contribution—reward" closed loop. First, users can earn basic Virgen Points by staking VIRTUAL or holding the highly sought-after AI Agent tokens within the ecosystem, such as Luna and AIXBT; second, users can also accumulate more points by participating in social promotion ("Yapping"), trading on the platform, or staking tokens from other projects. In this way, whether you are a technical novice or an experienced trader, you can find a contribution method that suits you in terms of capital investment or content promotion, greatly stimulating community activity and innovation.

In stark contrast, traditional airdrops often rely solely on holding snapshots or completing complex tasks, and most users sell off the tokens they receive on the same day. According to data from a certain platform, over 90% of airdropped tokens experience a price crash within 15 days of issuance, with a retention rate of less than 12% after three months. The Genesis Launch utilizes a points locking + punitive cooling mechanism: if the newly acquired tokens are sold within 24 hours after unlocking, it will trigger a 10-day points reset, significantly curbing the arbitrage behavior of those looking to take advantage of the system, and encouraging participants to hold long-term and continue contributing.

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 "unable to buy price" or "unable to sell order" awkwardness on the exchange or DEX. To prevent whales or bots from occupying a large share through multi-wallet sniper-style layouts, Genesis Launch sets a limit of no more than 0.5% of the total issuance for each address and uses an on-chain randomization algorithm to further balance the distribution, ensuring that small and medium users can also reap considerable shares.

The success of this new token issuance model is not only due to the popularity of the newly issued tokens but also drives the "old brings new" effect of ecological tokens. Since the large-scale launch of Genesis Launch, the trading volume and price of VIRTUAL have been climbing steadily: by mid-June 2025, the average daily trading volume of VIRTUAL on the network has exceeded $150 million, an increase of over 80% compared to May; at the same time, holding and staking VIRTUAL to obtain veVIRTUAL governance tokens can also continue to earn additional Virgen Points, which encourages a large number of users to lock their positions and participate in ecological 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 leveraged trading of up to 2000 times. On the first day of its launch, the contract trading volume surpassed 700 million USD, strongly conveying a message: this project is becoming a new target for speculation and hedging in the eyes of institutional investors.

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

In future planning, each technological upgrade and mechanism innovation aims to make the outline of the "AI Sovereignty 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 take shape, intelligent agents begin to operate independently and generate revenue in scenarios such as gaming, content creation, and market analysis. Users are no longer just bystanders but have become co-builders and beneficiaries. The Genesis Launch connects 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 allows each AI agent to migrate freely across multiple networks through the open SDK and cross-chain support; through the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), agents can sign contracts, deliver, settle, and repurchase on-chain, achieving a truly autonomous business closed loop; community participation is obtained through staking veVIRTUAL for governance rights, 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 a certain mainnet Genesis Launch was listed with a 1500% oversubscription rate, and its market value soared from $200,000 to $80 million; the virtual idol Luna achieved a monthly income of $1.2 million through fan tips, with its token market value surpassing $120 million; the hedge fund format VADER operates steadily 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 maturity of multimodal AI technology and cross-chain interoperability, this project is undoubtedly at the forefront of digital civilization construction. In the days to come, AI agents will not only be props and tools but will also become "digital citizens" with autonomous decision-making power and economic rights, participating in production, governance, and even cultural creation alongside humans. The platform will no longer be a simple platform, but is nurturing a new type of society from the bottom up, co-governed by countless AIs and humans — this is the true ecological evolution, and the thrilling leap towards an "AI sovereign society" has just begun.
