Virtuals Introduces Three New AI Agent Launch Mechanisms: Pegasus, Unicorn, and Titan

By: theblockbeats.news|2026/01/06 03:46:06

BlockBeats News, January 6, Virtuals Protocol launched a new AI agent project initiation mechanism: Pegasus, Unicorn, and Titan.

Pegasus is designed for early builders and does not include a team allocation or automatic fundraising mechanism. Almost all of its token supply is allocated to the liquidity pool, with only a small portion reserved for ecosystem airdrops.

Unicorn features small-scale public launches for all projects, with no pre-sale, whitelist, or capped allocations. An anti-sniper mechanism prevents bots from dominating early trading, converting initial volatility into protocol-native buybacks to enhance liquidity. The team's held tokens are only sold automatically in a transparent manner after the project gains real market traction, with the funds raised dynamically adjusted within the 2 million to 160 million FDV range.

Titan is designed for teams with established reputation, scale, and funding needs. This issuance model is suitable for projects meeting high benchmark readiness, with a minimum $50 million valuation requirement for initiation. At TGE, the VIRTUAL liquidity counterpart must reach 500,000 USDC, and the issuance transaction tax is fixed at 1%.

In the WEEX AI Trading Hackathon, AOT Matrix chose a more cautious path in system design — one that’s actually harder to pull off in a live trading environment. From the very start, they made clear choices about what role AI should and shouldn’t play in the trading system. We interviewed AOT Matrix about their decision-making logic, the multiple iterations of their system architecture, and what it’s like to implement it under WEEX’s real trading environment and engineering constraints.

Why AI Tokens Are Rising Faster Than the Broader Crypto Market

AI tokens are outperforming — and not quietly. Bitcoin is moving. Ethereum is holding ground. Yet some of the strongest relative gains are coming from AI-labeled tokens, not majors, not memes. At first glance, this feels intuitive. AI is real technology. It’s shaping industries far beyond crypto. But markets rarely move on intuition alone — especially not this fast. When prices accelerate ahead of adoption, the more useful question isn’t “Is AI important?” It’s which version of the AI story the market is buying — right now.

Why AI Trading Bots Are Becoming Essential in 24/7 Crypto Markets

Cryptocurrency markets operate continuously and move faster than human attention can reliably sustain. Prices react instantly to global events, liquidity shifts across regions, and tradeable opportunities often exist for minutes rather than hours. For many traders, the core challenge is no longer generating ideas, but executing decisions consistently without constant monitoring or emotional interference. This is where AI trading bots are increasingly being adopted — not as profit guarantees, but as tools designed to translate predefined strategies into reliable, repeatable execution.
