Daily Virtuals Digest Almanac #1:
While we are (to an extent) experiencing a second @virtuals_io renaissance, which might last a few months (or weeks), it's important to also highlight the biggest winners.
Two stand out for me.
The first one did an implied 100x+, realistically around 60x or so from subscription and up only, the first one is $BIOS aka @BasisOS
Basis uses Hyperliquid as its underlying base for executing delta-neutral feefarming strategies, which should (in theory) only increase as volume goes up and funding rates differ across various venues.
This one is quite the cooker and you can also farm it socially - not just by buying it or depositing LP in it (which also gets you. It's similar to Liminal from HL, just that deposits are on Arbitrum right now, but the agent token is on Virtuals and was one of the earliest successful launches.
The second one is, of course, $VIRGEN, the @VaderResearch launched memecoin with no utility but is a CLEAR AS DAY proxy for the success of the Virtuals eco and beta to Virtuals itself.
Currently both are hovering at around 15-16m mark, and I feel that if we get good PA and team figures out what they're doing with penalizing sellers/yappers and experimenting with DAB, can see these going higher.
Of course, don't forget how $BIOS' mindshare mining works, quite an ingenious use of Kaito's algos.
