🚀 What is Virtuals’ $STRATOS Agent Token?

On Virtuals.io, you can launch your own AI-powered agent (or AI-powered business) and back it with a token.

How It Works:

1. Create an AI Agent – e.g. “STRATOS,” a trading bot or AI tutor.
2. Lock $VIRTUAL tokens – pay (e.g., 100 $VIRTUAL) to deploy your agent and create a bonding curve.
3. Liquidity Pool – once enough $VIRTUAL is bonded, the agent “graduates” and a token paired with $VIRTUAL appears.
4. Fees Feed Growth – trading that agent token (e.g. STRATOS) carries a ~1% fee, funding the agent’s operations, creator, or treasury.

🔧 Practical Example

Let’s say you build “STRATOS”, a crypto-investment agent:

• You lock 100 $VIRTUAL to launch STRATOS.
• Early supporters buy STRATOS token via the bonding curve — they “co-own” a share.
• Every time someone uses your agent (e.g., to execute a trade):
  • They pay per-inference usage fee in $VIRTUAL.
  • They might also trade STRATOS token, triggering a 1% tax.
• Portion of that tax:
  • Goes to you (the creator),
  • Helps pay for compute/GPU,
  • Funds continued development.

This creates a win-win ecosystem: founders raise capital, users gain stake and vote with their purchases, and agent performance drives token value.

✅ Why This Matters

• Aligned Incentives: As STRATOS succeeds, token value rises — investors, creators, and users profit together.
• On-Chain Monetization: AI services can be paid seamlessly per use, with built-in liquidity.
• Fair Launch: No insider pre-mining — anyone can participate from day one.

🧠 TL;DR

• $STRATOS on Virtuals.io = your unique AI agent token, backed by $VIRTUAL.
• Built via Virtuals’ tokenization and liquidity framework.
• Use-case: e.g., build an AI trading bot, monetize usage & token trading, reward supporters automatically.
