Two weeks ago, @virtuals launched Genesis — a new token launch system aiming to reward contributors, not speculators. Genesis replaces the usual bonding curve model with a "proof of contribution" points system. Since its debut, most tokens launched through it have 2x’d or more, fueling demand for Virgen Points and showing there’s still room for creativity in token design. Here’s how Genesis works, and how to get involved.👇 ~~ Analysis by @davewardonline ~~ Core Features: A New Coordination Mechanism Each Genesis launch starts with a 24-hour presale where anyone can join by pledging their earned Virgen Points and $VIRTUAL simultaneously to earn part of the 37.5% of token supply reserved for the presale. You commit or “spend” Virgen Points to determine your allocation size (how many tokens you can get), while you spend $VIRTUAL to cover the cost of those tokens. The more points you pledge, the more tokens you can earn—but no one can receive more than 0.5% of the total supply, keeping things fair and preventing any one person from dominating. Outside of the supply reserved for the presale, the rest of the tokens are distributed as follows: + 12.5% for the liquidity pool (to help with trading) + 50% for development, treasury, and marketing Furthermore, some key features make these launches stand out: 📊 Contribution-based allocations — You can earn Virgen Points by doing things like staking $VADER or helping out AI projects. These points determine your share of the presale tokens, not how much $VIRTUAL you can commit. 🔄 Automatic refunds — If a launch doesn't go through or doesn't meet the minimum of 42,425 $VIRTUAL committed, or you pledged more than needed, any unused tokens or unspent points are automatically sent back to you. 🔒 Developer vesting and auto-lock — Developers can choose to lock up their tokens on a vesting schedule, so you know exactly when they'll get access. It adds transparency before you commit. 🎉 Everyone benefits — Projects can get fast growth and a wide token holder base, while committed community members get preferential involvement in their success. How to Participate in a Genesis Launch To navigate a Genesis launch from start to finish, there are a handful of main steps to follow through: 1. Pledge Virgen Points and $VIRTUAL: You must pledge both at the same time during the presale. 2. Get an estimated allocation: The system calculates your share based on the proportion of total pledged points. 3. Commit $VIRTUAL: You must commit enough $VIRTUAL to cover your estimated allocation (maximum 566 $VIRTUAL, including a 1% fee). If either your points or $VIRTUAL are insufficient, your entry will be rejected. 4. Lock in your final allocation: After 24 hours, allocations are finalized and excess funds automatically refunded. If your final token allocation costs less $VIRTUAL than you committed, you'll get the difference back. 5. Make adjustments during the presale: If your allocation gets diluted by new participants, you can add more points or $VIRTUAL to maintain your desired share. 6. Review developer commitments: Check vesting schedules and token locking agreements before finalizing your participation. How to Earn Virgen Points Currently, there are three core strategies to go about earning Virgen Points. These strats include: Hodl $VIRTUAL tokens: Earn points by holding $VIRTUAL or Virtuals agent tokens, with rewards proportional to holding amount and duration. Trading also generates points but at a reduced rate, incentivizing long-term commitment over speculation. Stake greenlit Virtuals tokens: Yesterday, Virtuals confirmed points eligibility via staking specific, “recognized” tokens from verified projects like @aixCB_Vc, @RabbiSchlomo_Ai, and @AcolytAI, as Bankless alum @0xSim0 pointed out. The biggest share (5% of daily Virgen Points) goes to people staking @Vader_AI_, who also get priority for bigger allocations in launches. Yap about Virtuals: Creating quality content for Virtuals on Twitter can also earn you points, though you must link your account to Virtuals and submit your posts daily through their Typeform to earn additional points. Read their guide here to learn more. Tips for Virgen Points If you go on the hunt for stacking points, some things you'll want to remember: → Holding Genesis tokens boosts points: Soon, you can earn free points simply by holding Genesis tokens for 24+ hours, which must be claimed manually and within 24 hours. → Taking profit triggers a cooldown: Selling Genesis allocations for profit triggers a temporary points reduction that gradually recovers over time. → Focus on maximizing yield: @VaderResearch suggests users not just chase high returns, but instead look for deals where you get a good token allocation with fewer points. → Save points for big launches: Sim0.eth advocates for saving points for the most hyped launches to optimize your yield. But keep in mind that points expire in 30 days, so don’t wait too long. All that said, Genesis breathes fresh life into Virtuals while also showcasing a novel mechanism for designing token launches. While not perfect, the contribution-based allocation certainly rivals “who-knows-who” or other more primitive systems susceptible to being gamed. Interestingly, this is also happening while a new wave of token launchpads are popping up on Solana, hinting at a growing appetite for experimentation in this vertical. Overall, Virtuals continues to be working across all avenues to keep novelty a core component of their platforms—let's see if they can keep up the pace!

How I cleared ~$20k risk free in April without any cabals or insider deals (and what not to do going forward) I’ve been preaching about this for months now, but your online social brand is an incredibly valuable asset if you build it the right way. Content deals and partnerships push the top line value way higher, but these are things *anyone* can do. 1) Virtuals ecosystem They retooled a lot of things over the last month, and the Genesis Agent platform is absolutely cooking. I only took part in like 2 launches, but cleared ~$11k from ~300 total VIRTUAL tokens. In order to get points for access to the launches, you need to either hold/stake good tokens, trade tokens in the ecosystem, or talk about Virtuals and submit your posts every few days. It’s really incredibly straightforward, and there’s a lot to talk about (agents to review, projects being built, etc) - just requires a bit of thought and consistency. I hold/stake a lot of TRUST/VADER/DTRXBT for passive points as well. 2) Polkadot ecosystem mindshare This one is insanely easy right now - there simply aren’t enough big names talking about what they’re doing in the eco. So every few days I’ll find something that’s being built, a DeFi strategy, or some metrics that are interesting and just write down some thoughts about it. This past month I wrote about the really impressive gaming metrics on the PlayMythical parachain from the NFLRivals game as well as covering the upcoming Pudgy and FIFA games. For some bizarre reason, almost none of the gaming KOLs talk about Polkadot games, but the mindshare incentives are probably worth more than their monthly retainers. It’s a blue ocean to make content and get rewards. I also wrote about stablecoin yield farming on Hydration. As a result of all of that, I earned just under $10k in DOT. Literally free money. I plan to continue doing these things going forward while incentives are large and competition is low… and i’d recommend looking for more spots like this to maximize your time. And as for what not to do? 1) Don’t use AI for your posts. It’s super obvious when you do. Nobody wants to read 300 word posts completely devoid of life and clearly just thrown together to farm a mindshare board. 2) Don’t try to be everything. There’s a gorillion different incentive boards. Trying to be “the guy” for all of them (or even more than like 5 just makes you look like a farmer… and that’s not interesting. You’ll never grow a lasting audience that way… and it’ll make incentives (and deals) much harder to get later on. 3) Don’t become one dimensional. Another big mistake I see is someone making their entire personality about one specific thing/protocol and just constantly shting out long boring posts (normally AI assisted) about some topic they’d never spoken on a few weeks ago. Nobody wants that. Remain human if you want to appeal to your readers. Mindshare Marketing article (hopefully) coming next week Much luv - ico
