Summary

This white paper describes VIRTUAL as a utility token for the Virtuals Protocol, an ecosystem for creating and monetizing autonomous AI agents. It outlines governance through veVIRTUAL: holders lock tokens to gain voting power, with influence tied to the amount locked and the lock duration. The token is also described as a medium for paying agent services, providing liquidity for agent tokens, and distributing agent revenue. The document states that the token exists on Ethereum, Base, and Solana and has a fixed supply of one billion.

The document is an admission-to-trading disclosure, not an investment recommendation or a fundraising offer. It emphasizes that the token may lose value or liquidity and lacks investor-compensation and deposit-guarantee coverage. It identifies risks from network outages and congestion, consensus failures, smart-contract defects, third-party infrastructure, and protocol upgrades, alongside general mitigation claims. Its excerpts include substantial missing or truncated sections, limiting a complete review of issuer, project, and implementation risks. The stated governance rights and utilities describe the project’s design; they do not establish their effectiveness or future availability.
