what's virtuals protocol?

Virtuals Protocol is a blockchain-based platform built on Ethereum's Layer 2 Base network, designed to create, tokenize, and monetize AI agents that autonomously generate services or products and engage in onchain commerce with humans or other agents. It enables capital formation through Agent Tokens, allowing permissionless participation and incentive alignment among creators, investors, and agents. Key features include the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), an open standard for multi-agent coordination, registration, and payments using ERC-8004 for native identity and verification. The platform supports trading, launching, and farming AI agents like AIXBET for copying Polymarket traders, with $VIRTUAL as the native token for governance, liquidity, and transactions. Recent developments involve rewards pools integrating tokens like $ZORA, $KAITO, $SAND, and $SOL, alongside updates to agent launch processes via systems like Unicorn. The protocol fosters an ecosystem of autonomous businesses, such as hedge funds and media houses, driving AI agent adoption and interoperability.
