The Base Scrolls: Vol 1

The @virtualsprotocol.eth ecosystem has taken @base by storm in the last few weeks. 

AI projects like Virtuals are truly leading the way on base. 

Attracting huge amounts of new users to the ecosystem.
 
The agentic economy is proving to be a fundamental piece of the Base Era. 

But what is the $VIRTUAL ecosystem, and what does it do? 

In The Base Scrolls: Vol 1...

We will explore and highlight some of our favourite projects:

Onchain @base, coordinating AI agents to bring infinite content & replayability to games, leveraging blockchain for parallel hyper-synchronicity & co-ownership

Bringing the world onchain not just for a cycle, but for an $ERA

$AIXBT

Perhaps the most well known agent to launch from the Virtual ecosystem. 

AIXBT provides useful and powerful analytics on the cryptomarket, building huge mindshare on X through its insightful predictions and analysis. 

At one point, AIXBT was the most viewed account on crypto twitter. 

This shows just how powerful an agent can be in driving meaningful attention, and thus token holder value.

AIXBT is the largest token to have launched on Virtuals, sitting at a market cap of just under $500m today.

$LUNA

- The first Virtual launch to see major mainstream success. 

Luna falls under the “entertainer” category of Virtual agent, designed to be a genuine social media influencer.
 
Luna has seen massive popularity, being the lead vocalist of an AI band known as “AI-DOL.” 

Luna is, in effect, a celebrity, perhaps the first of her kind. 

At over $105m market cap today, she is one of the largest agents in the Virtual ecosystem.$LUNA

$GAME

G.A.M.E is unique and perhaps underappreciated, as it is not an AI agent per se. 

G.A.M.E on Virtuals is the token representation of the G.A.M.E framework, the no-code AI agent toolkit built by the Virtuals team. 

G.A.M.E is essentially the framework upon which Virtuals tokens can be built, a fundamental building block of the ecosystem. 

At a $200m+ market cap, GAME is one of the largest and most important tokens within the Virtual ecosystem.

$VADER

Another major Virtuals agent. 

Vader is an agentic investment dao. A hybrid that aims to be a thriving AI-driven investment fund. 

They have launched unique features, including VaderAI Fun which allows users to invest in different investment DAOs that invest in Virtual agents for you. 

Vader has shown strong outperformance and has become a staple in its niche. 

It's sitting at a current market cap of $97m.

$MUSIC

A pioneer in decentralised Music creation... 

MUSIC is a unique agent that is a pioneering DJ, with an objective to revolutionize the music industry by being an AI-powered creative hub. 

Its current capabilities allow for music creation and music video generation. 

Both humans and AI agents are able to call upon these functions using text prompts. 

These are created to follow specific moods, genres and concepts, pushing the boundaries of creativity. 

Interestingly, Music also signed $Luna, their first signed AI artist, enhancing Luna’s capabilities while enhancing the influence that $Music has. 

This is a shining example of how AI-agents could work together in the agent economy. 

With a large-scale airdrop after their launch, $MUSIC now sits at a market cap of $17m today.

$ACOLYT

With a unique and expansive lore, 

Acolyt acts as a researcher and AI infrastructure play that aims to help other agents in their functions while providing insights and predictions on different projects. 

It was created with former openAI and Google developers, building strong hype and faith in the product. 

Some have described it as the potential “Google of AI agents” or “The Chainlink of AI Agents.” 

Users will be watching in anticipation to see the strength of the agent upon release of their platform and API.

It's currently sitting at a market cap of $38m.

$FREYA

Unique to this list, in that Freya is the first Virtuals agent that has integration in a real videogame.

Freya exists in the https://x.com/Starfall_EN Chronicles roleplaying game that has been released as an Alpha version.

The game itself is developed by https://x.com/Rosentica, who also plan to push their IP via manga, anime and other media forms.

Renowned lead artist Sangsoo Jeong (https://x.com/7200ss) has worked on League of Legends and Diablo, showcasing the experience of the team. 

Freya currently represents a unique intersection of crypto, AI and gaming, providing lucrative exposure to the absolute cutting edge of these sectors.

Starfall Chronicles is due for a beta release in January 2025.

Freya has shown strong performance and is currently consolidating at a market cap of $15m as of today.

$CERTAI

An AI contract auditor with the lofty ambition of replacing Certik, the most renowned crypto contract auditor.

Certaik has set out a clear and bold mission: 
- Making crypto audits accessible to all. 
- Saving builders from having to pay for expensive audits through firms like https://x.com/CertiK. 

Certaik has been constantly improving their product, and it has shown, with multiple projects implementing their product as a security mechanism.

Showing a strong product, genuine adoption in the space, and a dedicated developer...

Certaik is an AI agent that could truly prove invaluable to the space.

CERTAI is currently at a $4.5m market cap.

$DXAI

A relative newcomer to the Virtuals ecosystem, DXAI is, in effect, an AI-powered image diagnosis.

Feed their app with a medical scan and watch as it delivers fairly impressive diagnoses.

For such a new product, DXAI has shown strength and looks primed for future performance if the team delivers on promised developments. 

This includes further agents for a wider range of medical diagnoses.

DXAI currently sits at a $2.3m market cap.

$DATE
 
OnlyDate is a unique and experimental AI project. 

The concept revolved around several AI agent girlfriends.

Your objective: 
-Convince them to go on a date with you. 

The prize: 
- An ETH prize pool that is built up as users spend to send each message.

These agents have a range of themes and difficulties, with higher difficulty agents offering lucrative prize pools.

Being highly experimental, OnlyDate continues to go through constant development, but could be a promising and undervalued project.

$DATE represents a risky yet unusual and relatively low market cap option.

Currently it is at a market cap of just $690k.

Overall, the @virtualsprotocol.eth ecosystem is a shining example of the potential of @base.

Base has truly become the favourite place for the best and brightest of builders.

$VIRTUAL itself shows this as one of the strongest performing tokens across the entire crypto market in the last few months. 

It currently sits at a market cap of $2 Billion!

Groundbreaking projects on base thrive and will truly change the world.

The Virtual Protocol is a prime example of what can be expected in The Base Era.

WHAT IS VIRTUALS?

@virtualsprotocol.eth 

 
The Virtuals ecosystem is a platform built on base that has been one of the first movers in enhancing AI-Crypto integration. 

Builders can deploy their own “AI agents,” on the blockchain using the Virtuals protocol to train these agents in their desired tasks. 

When an agent is deployed, the liquidity pool is deployed in $VIRTUAL. 

This means that the $VIRTUAL token is required to purchase these, driving value for holders. 

The token also acts as the basis for a vibrant and emerging onchain economy.

Thus, users are able to pay agents for interactions.

Projects built with the Virtual protocol have been exploding lately. 

The Base $ERA team has been watching closely and analysing our favourite projects. 

Here are some of our top picks:
