The Glamorous Transformation of Virtual Technology Platforms: From Gaming Endgames to Artificial Intelligence Ecosystems

In June 2025, the cryptocurrency sector experienced an unprecedented wealth feast: the new project IRIS debuted with an initial market value of $200,000 through a certain发行平台, and after its launch, its market value skyrocketed to $80 million, setting a new industry record with a 400-fold increase. This performance not only far exceeded the previous record of increase but also made other ecological projects look inferior. As the driving force behind this myth, the platform's token achieved a 400% surge within six months, with its market value peak surpassing $5 billion. Now, this platform has firmly secured its position as the largest AI agent launch platform in a certain network. Behind this nationwide celebration, there is actually an experiment in wealth distribution restructured based on point rules - it is quietly reshaping the speculative logic and value order of the cryptocurrency market.

The Glamorous Transformation from Game Endings to AI Agent Issuing Platform

A certain protocol is a decentralized platform deployed on the Ethereum Layer-2 network, dedicated to pioneering the on-chain AI agent economy, allowing users to easily create, co-own, and monetize autonomous AI roles. Its predecessor was a gaming guild established in Malaysia in 2021. The guild initially focused on Play-to-Earn projects and the NFT community, successfully raising approximately $16 million through precise investments in several popular projects, with a valuation at one point nearing $600 million, accumulating rich game assets and an active player community. However, the 2022 bear market severely impacted GameFi, causing the price of the guild's token to plummet by nearly 99%, with its market value shrinking to less than $6 million. The team attempted to branch into social apps, NFT apparel, music platforms, and other business lines, all of which failed, leaving the project on the brink of being shelved.

By the end of 2023, the wave of generative AI swept the globe, and the concept of AI agents became a new trend in cryptocurrency. The project's community decided to completely transform into an AI-driven protocol through on-chain DAO voting (with a support rate of up to 90%) and changed its name to the current one, shifting its core strategy to "assetizing and tokenizing AI agents and empowering the community." This transformation is based on profound insights: the team discovered that the market size of Japanese virtual idols exceeds 100 billion yen, but creators receive less than 20% of the revenue; at the same time, experiments from a certain platform have proven that AI-driven NPCs can increase player retention rates by approximately three times. These two key data points directly led to the project's positioning of "profitable AI personalities."

In October 2024, the project will launch on the mainnet and introduce the first multimodal AI agent - virtual idol Luna. Luna integrates technologies such as text generation, 3D motion, voice synthesis, and smart contract wallets, allowing it to autonomously raise operational funds and distribute rewards to fans. After its launch, Luna quickly gained 500,000 followers on social media, generating a monthly income of $1.2 million solely from fan tips, successfully validating the business model and technical feasibility of on-chain AI agents. Its demonstration effect has attracted a large number of developers to pay attention to the project itself.

Riding on the successful momentum of projects like Luna, the platform launched its core token on multiple exchanges and the mainnet by the end of 2024. Its price soared from a few cents to a historical high of $5.15, with a market cap once exceeding $5 billion, far surpassing most Layer-2 and DeFi projects at the same time, marking the project's entry into the mainstream crypto market. The platform's unique "low threshold, high incentive" mechanism is highly attractive: users only need to stake about 10 tokens (approximately $200) to create a new AI agent, and automatically generate a liquidity pool locked for 10 years; once the token's market value reaches about $500,000, the system will release a liquidity layer on the decentralized exchange to ensure trading depth and price stability. This model significantly lowers the participation threshold and stimulates enthusiasm for ecosystem development.

By June 2025, the ecosystem has demonstrated significant scale and economic effects: the cumulative number of AI agents incubated has exceeded 11,000, covering diverse scenarios such as virtual idols, trading advisors, game engines, and content incubation. This platform has nurtured over 80% of the AI agents on its chain, and the generative multimodal agent framework it has launched has also become a popular choice for agents in the Web3 gaming and metaverse fields. However, the project's vision goes far beyond becoming a leader in AI agent issuance. Its white paper clearly states that the ultimate goal is to build a truly "AI sovereign society." Therefore, how to attract more ecosystem members to join is the key to achieving this grand goal and will be the focus of its development for a long time to come.

Innovative New Model: Pioneering a New Paradigm for AI Asset Issuance

To attract more user attention, the platform has innovatively introduced a new issuance mechanism for issuing AI agent tokens. Unlike traditional linear airdrops or fixed issuances, the new mechanism is based on the concept of "contribution points," emphasizing participation and contribution rather than pure speculation. Once this mechanism was launched, it quickly became a sensation across the internet, and the platform's new token offerings have become a new hotspot for "profit seekers" to participate in, with even seasoned speculators discussing how it could replace the once-popular "Alpha airdrop" model. Compared to traditional airdrops that distribute tokens all at once, where users often sell them immediately, the new mechanism emphasizes "contribution equals distribution," allowing everyone the opportunity to participate in new token subscriptions based on real contributions. Almost every day in the project's official community, members can be seen sharing screenshots of their earnings from participating in token offerings using points, showcasing a transparent and open rule set that completely overturns the situation of "wealthy individuals monopolizing, retail investors being left out."

Taking IRIS as an example, the project launched its pre-sale in mid-May, locking in over 120 million points in less than 24 hours, with a subscription oversubscription reaching 1500%. Tens of thousands of users shared 37.5% of the community share. On the day of its launch, the market value of IRIS skyrocketed from $200,000 to $80 million, an increase of over 400 times, setting a new industry record for AI Agent issuance, and instantly overshadowing the previous "meme coin season" trend of other ecosystems.

The reason why the new issuance mechanism can rapidly gain popularity lies in its construction of a "incentive-contribution-reward" closed loop. Firstly, users can earn basic points by staking platform tokens or holding the highly sought-after AI Agent tokens within the ecosystem, such as Luna and AIXBT; secondly, users can also accumulate more points by participating in social promotion, trading on the platform, or staking tokens from other projects. This way, whether you are a novice or an experienced trader, you can find a suitable way to contribute through financial investment or content promotion, greatly enhancing community engagement and innovation.

In stark contrast, traditional airdrops often rely solely on token snapshots or the completion of complex tasks, and users tend to sell the tokens on the same day they receive them. According to a data platform, over 90% of airdropped tokens experience a price drop within 15 days of issuance, with a retention rate of less than 12% after three months. The new mechanism adopts a points locking + punitive cooling-off mechanism: if the newly obtained tokens are sold within 24 hours after unlocking, it will trigger a 10-day points reset, significantly curbing the arbitrage behavior of "free riders" and encouraging participants to hold long-term and contribute continuously.

At the same time, the platform provides ample liquidity support for the listing of new tokens. Each Agent Token is paired with a certain amount of platform tokens or stablecoins injected into the liquidity pool before the opening, ensuring that there is no awkward situation of "unable to buy" or "unable to sell" on exchanges or decentralized exchanges. To prevent whales or bots from capturing a large share through multi-wallet sniper strategies, the new mechanism sets a cap of no more than 0.5% of the total issuance for each address and adopts an on-chain randomization algorithm to further balance the distribution, ensuring that small and medium users can also reap considerable shares.

The success of the platform's new token issuance model lies not only in the popularity of new token releases but also in driving the "old brings new" effect of ecological tokens. Since the large-scale launch of the new mechanism, the trading volume and price of the platform tokens have been rising steadily: by mid-June 2025, the daily average trading volume of the token on the chain had exceeded $150 million, an increase of more than 80% compared to May; meanwhile, holding and staking platform tokens to obtain governance tokens can also continue to earn additional points, prompting a large number of users to lock up their assets and participate in ecological governance for the long term, further solidifying price support and liquidity.

Not only retail investors are flocking to participate, but institutions are also showing strong interest in this new mechanism of "contribution for returns." In June 2025, the world's first perpetual contract based on the platform's token was launched on an exchange, supporting leveraged trading of up to 2000 times. On the first day of its launch, the contract's trading volume broke through 700 million USD, strongly conveying a message: this project is becoming a new target for speculation and hedging in the eyes of institutional investors.

The Theory of Ecological Evolution: A Thrilling Leap from Cryptocurrency Platforms to AI Sovereign Society

In the future planning of the project, each technological upgrade and mechanism innovation aims to make the outline of the "AI Sovereign Society" increasingly clear. In the initial phase, the platform was merely an AI agent issuance platform, which quickly gathered a group of enthusiastic developers and users through token economic mechanisms such as locking liquidity and buyback destruction. As hundreds of AI agent projects were implemented, the agents began to operate independently and autonomously generate revenue in scenarios such as gaming, content creation, and market analysis. Users were no longer just spectators but became co-builders and beneficiaries. The new issuance mechanism connects project growth and community participation with the logic of "contribution equals distribution," promoting the free flow of funds and creativity within the ecosystem.

But the real turning point is the "Agent Nation" blueprint proposed by the team. This is not just a slogan, but the core path of ecological evolution. The platform allows every AI agent to migrate freely between different networks through open SDK and cross-chain support; through the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), agents can sign contracts, deliver, settle, and repurchase on-chain, achieving a true autonomous business closed loop; community participation is granted governance rights through staking governance tokens and sharing transaction fees and repurchase dividends, merging the identities of "participants" and "owners" in the token economy. All of this is building a prototype of a digital nation operated by countless autonomous agents and co-governing humans.

So far, this ecosystem has demonstrated several milestone achievements: the security audit agent IRIS in the new issuance mechanism of the Ethereum mainnet was listed with a 1500% oversubscription rate, with its market value soaring from $200,000 to $80 million; the virtual idol Luna achieved a monthly income of $1.2 million through fan donations, with its token market value surpassing $120 million; the hedge fund format VADER is steadily operating in a cross-chain environment, with a market value exceeding $100 million... These figures not only reflect the feasibility of the agent business model but also prove that the "AI agency economy" is transitioning from theory to reality.

With the continuous maturation of multimodal AI technology and cross-chain interoperability, this project is undoubtedly at the forefront of building a digital civilization. In the days to come, AI agents will not only be props and tools, but will become "digital citizens" with autonomous decision-making power and economic rights, participating alongside humans in production, governance, and even cultural creation. This platform will no longer be a simple platform, but is nurturing a new type of society from the bottom up, one that is co-governed by countless AIs and humans—this is the true ecological evolution, an exhilarating leap towards an "AI sovereign society" that has just begun.
