Original title: "VIRTUAL's market value hits $3 billion, what stories are the AI projects in the ecosystem telling?"
Original author: Nan Zhi, Odaily Planet Daily
On December 17, Virtuals Protocol's protocol token VIRTUAL broke through 3 USDT, with a market value of $3 billion. Among the tokens mentioned in the Solana AI narrative interpretation "ARC's 30 million market value, one article to understand the narrative of new AI tokens" the week before, the "doing" type or AI with actual products and applications has risen the fastest.
Therefore, in this article, Odaily Planet Daily will interpret the token data and the project business behind the tokens with a market value range of $10 million to $100 million in the Virtuals ecosystem.
VaderAI
Data
The highest market value is $55 million, and the current market value is $28.4 million.
What problem does VaderAI solve?
VaderAI points out that AI Agent has evolved to a new level, capable of autonomously performing complex tasks. More specifically, VaderAI believes that AI Agent can generate income through IP (actually KOL influence monetization) or engage in financial speculation. VaderAI proposes 6 potential applications: autonomous hedge funds, AI Agent-based KOL institutions, on-chain arbitrage operations, game NPC guilds, customer support solutions, video games and entertainment content production.
What is VaderAI doing?
· Autonomous trading AI: Currently, VaderAI itself is an AI Agent that can autonomously trade AI Agent tokens. The white paper points out that more Investment DAOs will be opened in the future, and each DAO will be managed by an AI Agent for investment and share 20% of the fees with VaderAI. (At present, this module has not been implemented, and no actual purchase operations have been carried out. The official form data is "N/A.")

· AI KOL: VaderAI interacts with the cryptocurrency community in the form of tweets, comments, quotes and forwarding by autonomously managing its account on the X platform. At present, the content released by VaderAI includes AI Agent token index, hot token broadcast, token movement and other aspects.
Token Staking
Staking tokens is a prerequisite for participating in Investment DAO. Every 100,000 VADER staked can invest 1 SOL. In addition, it may become the airdrop standard for other tokens in the VaderAI ecosystem.
Convo
Although the trading volume, market value, and number of addresses of this token are among the top, there are great risks. This section is only for information listing and reference.
Data
The highest market value is 29 million US dollars, and the current market value is 21.2 million US dollars.
AI Introduction
According to the token introduction on the Virtuals page: "Prefrontal Cortex Convo is designed to conduct meaningful and dynamic conversations. It integrates perception, long-term memory, and decision-making capabilities to provide personalized, contextual responses. Unlike traditional agents, it consciously decides how to respond, can participate in deep conversations, retain information across sessions, and make autonomous decisions. It is currently supporting more than 200 agents and has processed more than 1 million requests in the first two months."
Risk Warning
In addition to this introduction, the AI has no official push, white paper or other credible official endorsements, and most of the transaction addresses are robots.
sekoia
Data
The highest market value is US$55 million, and the current market value is US$19.1 million.
Project Business
Sekoia pointed out that traditional venture capital relies on a few unicorn investments to obtain returns, while Sekoia will establish an AI-based venture capital (VC) system to create value through a large number of small but predictable returns.
Projects seeking investment can submit the system through Telegram's automated submission system. Developers submit Agent information, and the evaluation engine collects multi-dimensional performance data. If it meets the standards, the smart contract automatically executes the investment transaction and deploys resources.
The author tried to submit SEKOIA's white paper to its "Telegram automated submission system" on Tuesday, but has not received any response so far.

Seraph
Data
The highest market value is 55 million US dollars, and the current market value is 13.9 million US dollars.
Project Business
· AI evaluation system: Generate indicators such as trust score and AI score to help judge the credibility and degree of artificial generation of Agent content.
· Multi-dimensional evaluation method: The evaluation of AI Agent comes from Bittensor (accessing specific subnets to judge the possibility of AI generation of content), Kaito (obtaining facts, insights and sentiment analysis), user interaction data (optimizing scoring algorithms and Agent behavior) and other aspects of data integration for comprehensive evaluation.
· Modular improvement: With modular design, each component can be updated, replaced or expanded independently, and can evolve with the development of data sources and Agent ecosystem. Allow developers and community members to improve scoring criteria, incorporate new data, and adjust parameters so that the scoring algorithm can evolve with the evolution of Agent behavior.
Agent YP
Data
Highest market value of $55 million, current market value of $9.8 million.
Project Business
Agent YP is an autonomous AI agent created by @yellowpantherx that focuses on Web3 games. Based on the latest market news and data, Agent YP aims to provide the fastest and most accurate game content and become the "AIXBT" of Web3 games.
(Note: YellowPanther previously focused on game content creation, and other major identities include Virtuals Protocol consultant, Mocaverse and Xai ambassador, etc.)
nftxbt
Data
The highest market value is 55 million US dollars, and the current market value is 7.8 million US dollars.
Project business
· Project purpose: Follow @aixbt_agent and become an agent that has extensive help in the field of NFT and digital art.
· Data sources: Ethereum (including L2s such as @Base), Solana, Bitcoin, Tezos and other major market platforms.
Related tools
In terms of data access and monitoring, GMGN is still recommended. On the one hand, GMGN has a more comprehensive display of traders, holders and historical data, and is more friendly and efficient than Virtuals' native data interface.
On the other hand, the number of tokens on Virtuals is much smaller than Solana, and the proportion of "conspiracy" tokens is higher, so users have more time and more need to monitor and associate the front-row addresses.

For users who have not or rarely come into contact with the Virtuals and Base ecosystems, there are two pain points: VIRTUALS is too expensive and ETH is too expensive, especially the former is a must-have token for internal purchases.
In response to this, some Telegram Bots, including BananaGun and Maestro, added the function of directly buying ETH on the internal market in early December. The principle is that the Bot converts ETH into an equal amount of VIRTUALS on behalf of the user during the transaction.
For users who focus on the Sol ecosystem and do not hold ETH and do not want to buy it for the time being, the corresponding general tool on the market is UniversalX, which supports users to directly use SOL and other tokens to buy Base ecosystem tokens. The principle is Particle's chain abstraction technology.
