What are Virtuals and Genesis Launch?

Virtuals Protocol is an on-chain protocol built around AI agents, dedicated to enabling anyone to create, own, and operate their own AI virtual characters. It not only builds the underlying AI architecture but also creates a decentralized economic model driven by the VIRTUAL token.

In this ecosystem, Genesis Launch is an on-chain launch platform for new AI projects. Developers can initiate fundraising through it, while users can participate in the early rounds by staking VIRTUAL tokens to obtain project tokens. The key point is: all tokens are 100% unlocked at launch, with no release period and no lock-up.

This design makes Genesis Launch one of the most arbitrage potential arenas on-chain.

Why can the Genesis project achieve hundredfold returns?

As of now, Genesis Launch has launched more than 24 projects, with several projects surging immediately after launch, averaging a return of 32 times, and reaching as high as 128x. What is the reason that Genesis can continue to deliver high returns?

The core logic lies in its subscription mechanism and supply-demand structure:

• Score determines allocation: Users earn “Points” by participating in tasks, staking, interacting, etc. The higher the score, the larger the allocation.
• Oversubscription mechanism: The project has no hard cap, but the more participants there are, the fewer tokens each person actually receives;
• Token fully unlocked: leading users to chase purchases as soon as they go online, creating strong buying pressure, driving up prices.

The actual test data shows that there is a strong correlation between the subscription multiple and the final returns. Almost all projects with a subscription rate exceeding 1000% have quickly doubled after going live, and some have even increased by several tens of times.

How to master Genesis Launch? Detailed strategy breakdown

If you also want to get a share in this arbitrage, a mature strategy process is essential:

1. Accumulate points in advance
Genesis distributes approximately 80 million points daily, which can be earned by participating in tasks, staking VIRTUAL, and engaging in interactive activities. The more points you have, the larger your subscription quota.

2. Only select projects with a subscription multiplier over 1000%.
Historical data shows that such projects almost invariably experience explosive growth. Choosing the wrong project may result in a trap; choosing the right project, even with a small share, can lead to significant profits.

3. Accept quota reduction, less but valuable
In popular projects, investing 500 VIRTUAL may only use up 10 coins, with the rest refunded. However, precisely because the initial allocation is small, everyone rushes to buy after the launch, resulting in an astonishing increase.

4. Sell at the right time after going live, but be aware of the cooling-off period penalty.
If you sell for a profit, a “cooling-off period” of 7 to 10 days will be triggered, during which the score will be reduced according to the profit ratio. This mechanism effectively curbs short-term selling pressure and maintains the upward structure.

5. Rhythm control, heavy investment 1-2 times a month is sufficient.
There are about 1 to 2 super popular projects each month, so there’s no need to frequently participate in small projects. It’s better to focus on scoring points and wait for the hit products, concentrating your efforts on them.

VIRTUAL market performance

After a period of silence, the Genesis Launch has led to a significant increase in the price of VIRTUAL. On May 27, 2025, the price of VIRTUAL is $2.14. Please trade cautiously and be mindful of the risks.

Why hasn’t this arbitrage window disappeared yet?

In an environment where on-chain arbitrage opportunities are quickly eliminated by “involution,” why has the Genesis model been able to last for more than 3 months?

The reason is:

• High entry threshold: Time-consuming to boost scores, not everyone is willing to invest;
• Complex mechanism: cooling period, allocation rules, pre-investment strategy, requires a certain learning cost;
• Limited supply: The frequency of popular projects is controllable, avoiding dilution of project quality;
• The market has not yet fully entered a state of internal competition: currently, 40x projects are still not uncommon, indicating that there is still room for enthusiasm.

From the trend perspective, this arbitrage window may be gradually diluted in the future due to factors such as mechanism adjustments and an increase in participants. However, at the current stage, it still remains one of the few “stable and high-profit” opportunities on-chain.

Summary: How can ordinary people participate in this bonus game?

The arbitrage logic of the Virtuals Genesis Launch has gradually become clear: scores determine distribution, subscriptions determine price increases, and timing determines success or failure.

For ordinary users, now is the best time to participate:

• You don’t need to trade every day, just focus on accumulating points;
• You don’t need to time the market precisely; just focus on the subscription multiplier.
• You don’t have to bear the pressure of lock-up; you can sell immediately once it’s online.

Against the backdrop of continuous explosions in the AI track and the shrinking on-chain speculative opportunities, Genesis Launch is becoming one of the few trusted “dividend niches.”

The next round of 1000% oversubscribed projects may be just a few days away. Start accumulating points now, it might be the starting point for your future 100x.
