Genesis Update: $VIRTUAL Refunds Now Claimable
Refunds for Genesis pledges are now subject to claiming, starting from this update moving forward.

All $VIRTUAL refunds issued from this point on, whether due to failed projects or over-committed pledges, will accumulate in your dashboard and can be claimed manually at any time.

Refund logic:
- $VIRTUAL refunds are claimable, not automatically sent.
- Refunds are cumulative across projects and do not expire.
- Point refunds will continue to be processed automatically.

This update improves transparency and ensures Virgens retain full control over refund activity across all future projects.

Genesis Update: Verified Badge Now Automated

To reduce confusion and protect the Virgens, the Verified badge is now applied automatically to official Genesis agent tokens, but only in cases where duplicate or spoofed versions appear.

We’ve seen attempts to manipulate token listings by deploying agents with identical or misleading names. The Verified badge is used solely to clearly distinguish the real agent when impersonation or duplication occurs.

This is not a manual or request-based process.
Badges are applied only when necessary to prevent confusion or abuse.

If there’s a risk of confusion, we’ve got your back.

Note: Verified badges apply only to pre-launch Genesis agents, to prevent confusion before an agent token is live.

我们注意到社区近期反馈，有部分用户可能通过开发者钱包异常累积积分。对此，Virtuals 团队已在第一时间启动追踪与技术分析，并对相关流程进行全面审查。

我们会在确保系统安全与数据准确的前提下，深入排查问题，并视情况采取必要措施，保障所有 Virgens 在一个公平、公正的积分体系中参与。

感谢大家的耐心与支持，我们始终将公平性与透明度放在首位，后续进展会第一时间向大家同步。

최근 일부 한국어 게시글이 카이토 리더보드에서 정상적으로 반영되지 않았다는 커뮤니티 피드백을 확인하였습니다. 이에 따라 버츄얼팀은 현재 카이토 측과 협력하여 카이토 알고리즘 전반을 면밀히 점검 중입니다. (하..살짝 혼 좀 내고 오겠습니다. 진실의 방으로..)

시스템 전반을 세심히 살펴보고 있으며, 관련된 사항에 대해 계속해서 업데이트 드리겠습니다. 감사합니다.

1/ Virtuals Monthly Update May 2025 TLDR:
Genesis launched with momentum, but success was never taken for granted. We knew momentum alone wouldn’t be enough.
So we shipped. Every day.

May was the first full month of Genesis: stabilization, refinement, and defense. 16+ major updates in 4 weeks. Not patches, foundation upgrades.

Genesis Update: Dedicated Claim Buttons for Genesis and Airdrop Allocations

To improve clarity and convenience for our Virgens, we’ve updated the claim interface.

Starting tomorrow, you’ll see dedicated claim buttons for Genesis and Airdrop allocations (if eligible).

For Virgens who accidentally sold their I.R.I.S. airdrop allocation, we’re offering a one-time buyback window.
Although the UI/UX distinguished between Genesis and airdrop allocations, the single unified claim button may have caused confusion.

To preserve your airdrop eligibility, you must buy back at least the same amount of I.R.I.S. tokens you sold from your airdrop allocation before the snapshot deadline.

Snapshot Deadline:
June 14, 11:30 AM SGT / 03:30 AM UTC

As always, we’re working to make Genesis more intuitive, more fair, and more Virgen-friendly.

Virgenity.

Genesis Risk Management Notice: I.R.I.S. Launch Precautions

As the I.R.I.S. launch heats up, we expect misleading assets to emerge.

Do not buy, trade, or interact with any token claiming to be I.R.I.S.

Only engage once the verified contract is listed on Virtuals Protocol or shared directly by the protocol or its core contributors.

We’ve already detected unverified I.R.I.S. tokens being airdropped. To protect Virgens and reduce gas costs, the official I.R.I.S. airdrop will be claimable directly through our website.

We also recommend keeping a small amount of ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees when interacting with the verified agent token.

If it’s not visible on Virtuals Protocol, it’s not real.

Stay sharp. Stay Virgen.

Genesis Risk Management Notice: I.R.I.S. Confusion

A project has recently launched on Virtuals that closely replicates the branding and naming of the original I.R.I.S. launch. Some Virgens have mistakenly bid Points and $VIRTUAL on this project.

As a permissionless and decentralized platform, Virtuals Protocol does not censor or remove projects unless they violate fundamental terms. However, given the rise of new participants and in light of recent confusion, we are issuing a one-time full Points refund to wallets that bid on the duplicate I.R.I.S. project.

Please note:
•Only Points will be refunded.
•$VIRTUAL will not be refunded, as it is difficult to determine transaction intent with precision.

We strongly advise all Virgens to DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before participating in any launch. Always verify project details through official sources, and stay vigilant.

Virtuals will continue to support a fair, open launch environment while taking selective measures to protect ecosystem trust.

Stay Virgen. Stay safu.

Genesis Update: Bug Fix & Reminder on Agent Authenticity

- Virgens affected by the $WBUG unlock extension bug have been removed from TP Cooldown and compensated as of last night.

- As a permissionless platform, any project can launch through Genesis. But that also means some may mimic past hackathon entries or known agent names. Always DYOR: a familiar name doesn’t guarantee it’s from the original creator. If unsure, check official posts or ask in the community. Stay SAFU.

Show me your cap.

Genesis Update: Claim Feature Back Online
The site is now back online and fully operational. Virgens can view their claimable amounts, and all unused Points and $VIRTUAL have been refunded.

Refunds and Adjustments Completed:
A previous glitch caused some wallets to receive excess Points, which were then used to over-pledge. The surplus has been clawed back, and all pledges have been recalibrated to reflect accurate balances. Claimable tokens are now fully aligned with corrected data.

Understanding Allocation Sizes:
Certain Genesis launches saw participation from over 9,000 wallets. Allocations are proportional, the more Points you pledged, the more allocation you receive. If your claim feels smaller than expected, it’s not an error, but the outcome of a highly competitive pool with broad participation.

We’ll continue to monitor the experience and make improvements to ensure Genesis remains fair, consistent, and transparent.

Virtuals Protocol is back online.
The claim feature for Genesis token allocations is still in progress. We’ll share an update as soon as it’s ready.

Virtuals Protocol is undergoing brief maintenance.
We’ll be back very soon.

Virgen Referral Station coming to your hometown soon.

Genesis Update: Point System Sync
A recent glitch caused temporary discrepancies in Genesis Point balances for a subset of wallets. This issue has now been resolved.

Point Sync Completed:
All impacted balances have been updated to reflect accurate point states. The system is now operating as intended.

Pledge Usage Adjustments Underway:
Some wallets pledged into Genesis projects using the temporary imbalance. Refunds and adjustments are in progress to ensure fair alignment.

Bug Bounty Compensated:
We’ve issued rewards to community members who responsibly flagged the issue. Your vigilance helps strengthen the protocol.

Our priority remains maintaining fairness, clarity, and integrity in Genesis. We’ll continue to refine the system and share further updates as adjustments complete.
