BlockBeats news, on May 14, the AI agent platform Virtuals Protocol announced on social media that the VIRTUAL staking feature is now online. By locking VIRTUAL, users will receive veVIRTUAL, which is the voting escrow version of the token, representing long-term collaboration, deeper utility of the protocol, and future governance power.
Starting today, 20% of all Virgen Points will be allocated to veVIRTUAL holders, replacing the previous mechanism where holding VIRTUAL alone was sufficient to earn points, marking a shift in the participation reward mechanism of the Virtuals ecosystem.
