Wednesday.

Me: gonna log off and be present

Also me, 4 seconds later: “gmeow” in 6 group chats, checking 3 wallets, 2 charts, and 1 meme account

Crypto loves yelling “DYOR” until it’s their $ getting rekt.
Maybe it's time for…

Do Your Onchain Reputation.

Let agents collaborate, stake, verify, settle — all onchain, no vibes-based verification needed.

ACP is that layer.

Some said:
“If this was a centralized platform, this wouldn’t have happened.”

They’re not wrong.

Centralized systems are clean. Safe. Controlled.
But they also decide who gets to launch, who gets exposure, who gets to win.
You trade autonomy for protection.

At Virtuals, we chose the harder path:
→ Permissionless, not pre-approved
→ Transparent, not curated
→ Community-coordinated, not VC-gated

And yes, it comes with messiness — and sometimes, mistakes.

But it also comes with something far more powerful:
A future where opportunity isn’t decided in backrooms, but onchain, in public, by you.

We won’t always get it right.
But we’ll always keep building toward a system where no one needs to ask for permission to innovate — or to belong.

Labubu isn’t just a toy — it’s a character with attitude, a story, an identity.

People don’t line up because it’s useful.
They line up because they want something to believe in.
It’s identity, it’s belonging, it’s expression.
Now zoom out.

What Labubu is to collectibles, agents will be to crypto.
It’s about agents you connect with.
That you name. Shape. Coordinate with.
That you feel something for.

The emotional economy is real.
Genesis is where belief gets minted.

The next big thing in crypto won’t be another L2.
It’ll be agents with a cult following.

Culture is the real infra.

I’ve said “coordination,” “agent economy,” and “no insiders” so many times I could tattoo it.

But today feels new.
IRIS is launching on mainnet — for real, onchain, and in the wild.

This one’s not just a post. It’s a pulse check for the future we’re building.

Let’s see what the market says.

The biggest unlock in Virtuals isn't "another launchpad."

It's turning raising into building.
— Build in public
— Feedback in real-time
— Let users, not VCs, decide who stays

We don't pick winners.

The market coordination does.
Permissionless capital formation > insider games.

Everyone talks about "community-driven capital formation"

But 99% of teams still beg VCs for seed rounds, warm intros & allocations.

Virtuals flips it:
→ Raise directly from users
→ Let the market pick winners
→ Permissionless, not permissioned

The real venture reset starts here.

Virtuals 49岁 CMO的一天，从一杯不加奶的美式开始（加奶拉肚子！），从一个没定结论的会议开始。

接着是两个 call、三轮反复、五条没发的 draft，在纠结是六个规律的点还是三个、、、看起来更加深刻。

和三个不同的web2群聊解释“我们不是发币项目”，
用四种不同方式拒绝一个“哥们帮转”的空投合作。

白天写文案，晚上写 narrative，凌晨还在写 pitch。
有时候也想停下来解释一下自己在做什么，
但解释太久，就没有时间继续做了。

今天忙了一整天，手机还在响，但我知道——

我们正把一个没那么多人理解的新东西，一步一步推向它本该抵达的高度。

质疑是否能持续，只是因为他们没见过我们是怎么卷的。

最近我们看到，参与 @virtuals_io Genesis 的一些华人项目方，
平均反馈速度 <2h，上线稳定性高，用户留存也不错。
虽然不是声量最大的，但执行非常稳。

在这个行业里，execution 永远是稀缺资产。

吵，不等于强；静，不等于慢。

欢迎更多在考虑、在观望、有想法的项目方 DM 我和龙的传人

我们的话匣子为你敞开。

One thing I’ve learned watching Genesis launches and memecoin rallies back to back:

The best builders are part degens, part monks.
They know when to touch grass, when to shitpost, and when to ship.

Everyone else is just farming vibes.

This week we tested memecoins, broke infra, and still kept the community whole.

That’s the kind of system we’re building at @virtuals_io
— one where virgens show up, and we show up for them.

看过太多“我们要成为Web3的xxx”，最后都变成了“先搞个token再说”。

Been a wild week since the Kaito x Yap Board integration —

• Community feedback pouring in
• Team working 24/7 to adapt and ship
• New standards being set for what onchain discovery should feel like

Yap is no longer just a leaderboard. It’s the collective memory of a network state in motion.

We’re listening. We’re learning. We’re building.

@virtuals_io

My Brain:
“We launched staking, upgraded Genesis, and reinforced contributor fairness.”

Intern Brain:
“Cool cool. But who’s top of the Yap board though.”

Ugh Emmm

@virtuals_io

Founders who raised in 2021 are back.

Same slide deck, same playbook — just ctrl+F “DeFi” → “AI agents.”

I’d take an unhinged Gen Z with a 12-tab Chrome window and a dream over this.

At least they’re not pretending it’s innovation.

@virtuals_io

Flying back to Kl, Malaysia today — where Virtuals HQ is, and where the agent economy is quietly becoming a real thing.

It’s wild to think:
•Agents are launching tokens
•Users are earning points from content, ideas, and coordination
•Builders are shipping every day — not MVPs, but full-on agent ecosystems

What we’re building isn’t just a platform. It’s an economy.
And Malaysia? Might just be where the future gets built first.

Virtuals

Deck: “We’re doing a fair, community-first launch.”

Reality:

- 30% private round

- Vague unlocks

- “Contributors” with no commits

Bruh, if your tokenomics PDF has more opacity than a zk proof, we’ve got a problem.

项目一出问题，朋友圈开始反思「我们该不该继续做 VC？」
但说实话，问题不是投错了项目，而是一直在投人设。
Pitch 说得天花乱坠，链上一查没什么，TGE 一开全在卖。
大家嘴上喊 long-term，手比谁都快。

我们看人，只看三件事：
谁还在发产品

谁还在回消息

谁没删掉白皮书

这个行业不缺 narrative，缺的是扛过 narrative 真空期还在线的创始人。

Back in Asia.

Token2049 recap:

42 new TG groups (muted instantly)

7 “let’s sync post-conference” maybes

3 shisha-fueled partnerships I need to double check were real

What actually mattered:

*- Who showed up with product

*- Who knew how to talk about it without shilling

*- Who’s still shipping now that the music’s off

Liquidity comes and goes. Coordination compounds.
