Genesis Update: TP Cooldown History Now Live

Wallets under TP Cooldown can now view cooldown history directly in Virtuals Protocol by clicking on their TP Cooldown status.

You’ll be able to see:
1. Which agent sale triggered the cooldown
2. When the cooldown began

This update provides clearer context around point suppression and helps Virgens understand the reason behind their cooldown status.

We’ll keep refining Genesis to make it as fair, transparent, and intuitive as possible.

Genesis Update: Points Distributed and Dust-Level Cooldown Adjustment

1. Daily points have been distributed for May 27, 2025. Thank you for your patience.

2. TP Cooldown Adjustment for Dust-Level Sells:
We identified a small number of edge cases where wallets unintentionally sold a negligible amount, without any intent to manipulate or exploit the system, but were still placed under TP Cooldown.

To prevent disproportionate penalties, TP cooldowns for these wallets have been lifted and a small one-time compensation will be issued. No action is required.

We’re always listening, reviewing feedback, and doing our best to make adjustments that are fair and transparent. Thank you for your continued trust and for building the Society of AI Agents with us.

Genesis Update: Whitepaper now includes further details on TP Cooldown and Dev Lock mechanics.

Due to high demand, we’re still working through the Bizzy launch. Big thanks to the @base team for jumping in to help. We appreciate everyone’s patience and will share an update as soon as claiming is live.

We might have broke @base.

Genesis Update: Holding Is Over.
Agent Staking Is Now Live.

The era of passive holding is ending.
Staking is now the standard for earning points in the Virtuals ecosystem.

Switch Over Period Ends Thursday, May 22 at 3 PM GMT+8:

Agent staking is live. You now have until Thursday, May 22 at 3 PM GMT+8 to move your agent tokens into staking contracts. After that, only staked agent tokens will be eligible to earn points.

Eligible contracts include:
- Virtuals-issued staking contracts
- Whitelisted contracts with a 14-day unstaking cooldown

We’ll confirm publicly once staking-only eligibility goes into effect.

Staking Contracts Are Rolling Out Today:

We’ve identified approximately 70 projects (from both Genesis and Standard launches) that are going live with staking contracts today.

Virgens can now stake their agent tokens and begin earning points.

If your project launched but doesn’t yet have staking:
- Reach out to us
- We’ll support getting your staking contract live.

You can view the full list of eligible agents with staking enabled on the Points page.

Enforcement Rules:
- After May 22 at 3 PM GMT+8, only staked agent tokens will earn points
- Whitelisted contracts must include a 14-day unstaking cooldown
- Projects with custom contracts have 2 weeks to migrate or adjust to meet staking requirements

We’re scaling trust, aligning rewards with commitment, and closing passive farming gaps.

Virgenity.

No time for a victory lap.
New feature dropping tonight.

Virtuals Protocol is undergoing brief maintenance.
We’re preparing an update to enhance the Genesis experience.
We’ll be back very soon.

AI on @base is growing, and Virtuals Protocol is where it builds.

We’re proud to welcome @luca_curran, Head of AI & DePIN at @base, to the Virtuals Partners Network.

Another sherpa for the agent economy.
Another step toward scaling real agents onchain.

We treasure the magic of first experiences.

When someone steps into Virtuals Protocol, tries something new, and feels the potential.

Bad actors who try to ruin that?
Virtuals Protocol doesn’t tolerate it.

Today, we witnessed @playgameAI attempt to exploit the Genesis Launch, riding the wave, deceiving users, and breaking trust.

1. @playgameAI launch will be permanently failed.
2. A Compensation Plan is in motion for affected users.
3. And as always, Virtuals Protocol will never ask you to send funds outside official channels.

The protocol protects its own.

Virtuals Protocol is back online, fully operational.

Virtuals Protocol is undergoing brief maintenance.

We’ll be back very soon.

Over 100 submissions entered the first-ever Virtuals Protocol Hackathon.
The winners have been selected.

These teams delivered serious agent firepower and set the bar for coordination, autonomy, and onchain execution.

Congrats to the winners, and respect to every builder who pushed the protocol forward.

Shipping agents that coordinate, code, and create is no longer a theory.

Furtuals.

The pace of agent innovation outpaced our shortlist.
We planned to select just 10 agents for Demo Day — but the builds were too strong to ignore.

16 finalists will now advance on April 17.
