Virtuals Robotics: Why Did We Enter the Embodied Intelligence Field?
Original Title: Introducing Virtual Robotics.
Original Author: Virtuals Protocol
Original Translation: DeepTech TechFlow
Since its inception, Virtuals' core goal has always been to build a society of AI agents—a network where agents can collaborate, transact, and create value.
· Through ACP, we have achieved business transactions between agents.
· Through Butler, we have built a collaboration bridge between humans and agents.
· Through Unicorn, we have addressed the capitalization issue for agents.
Each layer is expanding the boundaries of digital intelligence. And now, this network extends into the physical world through robotics, where intelligence has taken on a tangible presence, and action has become tangible.

Artificial intelligence has automated reasoning, blockchain has empowered large-scale collaboration, and robotics has approached physical execution.
These three forces together form a closed loop, constructing a self-sustaining system where thoughts, actions, and transactions can autonomously propagate.
This fusion defines Agentic GDP (aGDP), the total output generated by the collaboration of humans, agents, and machines in the digital and physical domains.

Our exploration of robotics began within our internal venture capital division, investing in cutting-edge teams at the intersection of perception, control, and automation. These early experiments revealed the two core bottlenecks limiting the materialization of agents:
· Data: Without rich spatial datasets, embodied AI cannot learn to perceive or act effectively.
· Capital: Without scalable funding mechanisms, innovation in robotics will remain slow and fragmented.
Addressing these two issues is key to accelerating the development of physical intelligence.

Virtuals have chosen a "Middle Way" strategy to tackle the challenges of robotics.
We are not directly involved in hardware or model development, but instead focus on the invisible yet pivotal levers, building data and capital infrastructure that supports the ecosystem.
· Through SeeSaw: We have introduced a self-centric data platform that redefines how the world is captured and learned, enabling robots to "see" and understand space through human-recorded experiences.
· Through Unicorn: We have reimagined the funding mechanism for cutting-edge technologies.

With the integration of these systems, Virtuals have evolved from a digital agent platform into a full-stack intelligent engine.
If the past decade was defined by information technology, the next decade will be defined by materialization, representing a moment where ideas take on physical form.
Through robotic technology, the agent's internet extends into the physical world, completing the loop between intelligence, collaboration, and existence.

From Theory to Live Markets: AOT Matrix’s Dual-Brain System in WEEX AI Trading Hackathon
In crypto markets — one of the most unforgiving non-stationary systems — strategy failure is rarely caused by models being too simple. It happens because most strategies are never truly exposed to live-market pressure. This is exactly the problem WEEX AI Trading Hackathon is designed to surface — shifting the focus from theoretical innovation to real deployability, real execution, and real performance. Among the participating teams, AOT Matrix stood out with advanced AI-driven quantitative capabilities. Through its V4.4 dual-brain architecture, the system achieved end-to-end optimization — from core logic to execution — reflecting the platform’s dual emphasis on innovation and real-world performance.

Preliminary Round Participant Insights — AOT Matrix: Left-Brain Analysis, Right-Brain Decisions in AI Trading
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.

Life charts can't cure anxiety, and predicting the market can't foresee the outcome
