VIRTUAL Expands to Solana 

According to Virtuals Protocol, the official liquidity pool is now live, and users can swap their VIRTUAL tokens on Solana through the Jupiter exchange. Additionally, the Stargate bridge enhances cross-chain interoperability, allowing seamless transfers between Base and Solana.  

This development marks a significant expansion for the AI-driven project, enhancing accessibility and liquidity for token holders. 

By enabling trading on Solana through platforms like Meteora and Jupiter, VIRTUAL token holders can take advantage of Solana’s high speed and affordability compared to Ethereum or Base. This makes it easier for traders to buy, sell, and swap their VIRTUAL tokens with minimal fees and faster execution.

Moreover, integrating the Stargate bridge allows for seamless movement of VIRTUAL tokens between Base and Solana. The deployment also strengthens Virtuals Protocol by attracting Solana’s massive user base.

In a recent X post, Nuffle Labs co-founder Altan Tutar called Virtuals Protocol’s decision to expand to Solana a “smart move,” as he believes it will provide holders with much-needed liquidity.

“The team clearly understands where their target users are and is unlocking that potential quickly by going to where the liquidity is. Launching their own chain would take time, and this approach allows them to capture value more immediately.”

Following the latest expansion, Virtuals Protocol will introduce several features. One is a strategic Solana reserve, where 1% of trading fees will be converted to SOL to support and reward agents and developers within the ecosystem.

What Is Virtuals Protocol?

Virtuals Protocol is an AI agent generator launched on the Ethereum layer-2 Base network in October 2024. It simplifies the process of creating, deploying, and tokenizing AI agents, making AI technology accessible to non-technical users.

By allowing individuals to design AI agents through simple descriptions, Virtuals eliminates the need for coding expertise. The project’s core mission is to establish a decentralized AI economy where users can co-own AI agents and earn revenue. 

One of the most notable AI agents created on Virtuals Protocol is Luna, a 24/7 live-streaming AI entertainment avatar. Luna is designed to interact with fans worldwide using AI-driven large language models (LLMs), demonstrating the potential of Virtuals’ AI agents.

Meanwhile, VIRTUAL surged by nearly 19% on the latest expansion to Solana. It is currently the second-largest AI agent token, with a market cap of $908 million and a fully diluted value (FDV) of $1.4B. The token is also experiencing a rise in market activity, with a 90% increase in trading volume to $218 million.
