Originally launched at the base, virtuals draw attention to the AI agent novel with the ability to manage their own cryptocurrency wallets and even tipping social media users to drive a relationship.
On January 25, the project announced Its expansion in the red-hot solana ecosystem. However, Solana’s reputation has suffered in recent weeks following a wave of the President’s failed memecoins, emphasizing powerful scamming issues in the network.
There are currently about 170,000 unique wallets holding tokens of virtual agents at the base, compared to approximately 11,000 in Solana, according to Dune. Wallet activity significantly refused both networks, as only 7,642 wallets exchanged at least one token in Feb. 27.
