For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying to actually USE - wild, I know - the various apps and agents of the @virtuals_io ecosystem, to see how much of this is solid product vs vaporware and how far along things have gone. I’m gonna do a rundown of my favourites in the next few weeks.

First on tap is the guys @BasisOS: $BIOS is the first on-chain vault-strategy agent in the ecosystem.

It was also the first big launch on the Genesis launchpad, yelding an impressive 150x for participants.

It spins up Hyperliquid vaults, hunts delta-neutral basis edge, and compounds 24/7. Currently the BTC vault - the one I’m in - has close to 5 millions and an insane 380% apr, with Bios incentives sugaring the pot and taking the lion share of rewards. But a very respectable base apy of 11% on your USDC is encouraging.

This is not a memecoin, it’s a money robot.

Stake BIOS and the agent handles venue picks, funding hedges, and auto-rebalances. Performance + entry fees ( all vaults have a 0.35% usdc deduced right away from your deposit ) flow to BIOS buyandburn: value accrual baked in. I think this matters a lot, and it’s pretty straightforward, giving some direct correlation between performance of the playform and token value, so omce more, not just a meme or participation trophy.

I’m way too smoothbrained to understand how risky this pool is, so I’m playing with a smallish size and deffo dyor and all that, but so far I’m impressed. It basically plays like an untested Ethena, and sits under 30 milli FDV and near zero hype.
