Virtuals is a platform for creating, trading, and deploying AI agents, which has achieved a growth of 400% in less than a month and has become the largest protocol on Base. Virtuals was once labeled as another memecoin launch platform, but now it has sparked discussions about the importance of agent frameworks and the power of agents to change how we interact on the chain.

The largest Virtual intelligent aixbt has over 140,000 fans on X as of December 16, with a market value of 2.5 billion dollars. While high-profile intelligent agents like aixbt and Luna have captured people’s attention, many other Virtual intelligent agents are dealing with a variety of professional use cases. Below, we explore some noteworthy examples.
