Genesis Update: Wallet Hopping Prevention and Developer Wallet Adjustment

At Virtuals Protocol, Genesis was designed to evolve, learning from real behaviors, adapting quickly, and always putting fairness first.

Today, we’re rolling out two major updates to protect the long-term health of the Genesis Points system:

----

Wallet Hopping Prevention:

•Protections have been added to prevent point farming through wallet hopping.

•Moving assets between wallets to bypass Take-Profit cooldowns will now trigger cooldowns across related wallets.

This ensures all participants engage on equal terms.

----

Developer Wallet Adjustment:

Developer wallets were never intended to farm Genesis Points, as builders play a critical role in shaping their agent ecosystems.

•Developer wallets will no longer accrue Genesis Points moving forward.

•Existing developer wallet points have been reset to zero to maintain fairness.

•Protections have also been added to prevent point farming through new wallets linked to developer holdings.

This refinement ensures that point rewards reflect real community participation, while recognizing the different role developers play.

----

Why we do this:

We are committed to driving fairness for all participants, from developers to Virgens, and protecting the ecosystem from potential exploits.

These updates reinforce what Genesis stands for:

•Transparent systems

•Real, meaningful participation

•A fair foundation for the agent economy to thrive

We also want to sincerely thank the community members who surfaced these behaviors early. Your vigilance made the system stronger for everyone.

As always:

Genesis is alive, shaped by you, strengthened through action, and always moving forward with you.
