Foresight News: Virtual Protocol frankly stated that a single issuance model cannot adapt to the complex needs of the ecosystem. To address this, the team launched three issuance mechanisms: Pegasus, Unicorn, and Titan, building a unified and flexible agent launch framework. The brilliance of Virtual's upgrade lies in its shift away from trying to define "what is a good agent," and instead tailoring a suitable environment for agents at different stages. Pegasus is a purely market-driven testing ground, designed specifically for early-stage projects seeking quick and efficient growth. Whether it's a flash of inspiration or a lightweight agent focused on community consensus, it can be quickly launched through Pegasus. Under this mechanism, 95% of the project's tokens are directly injected into the liquidity pool; if the team needs tokens, they must purchase them from the open market. This design, while seemingly stringent, has a very clear logic: whether the market accepts the agent or its underlying idea is most directly determined by real money. Unicorn is essentially Virtual's current issuance mechanism. Under the Unicorn model, projects do not receive funding in the early stages. Only when the Agent proves its value in the market (reaching a certain FDV market capitalization) will the protocol release funds to the team in batches through the "automatic capital formation mechanism". In short, for developers who are committed to long-term development, financing is no longer a "one-off deal", but a "bet between entrepreneurs and the market": only by delivering tangible results can they gain market recognition. The Titan mechanism is designed for teams or institutions with mature brand reputation and large-scale technology deployment capabilities, and is also the highlight of this Virtuals strategic upgrade. The essence of the Titan mechanism is a two-way selection of "trust for efficiency". The protocol provides VIP-level launch channels for projects based on their product strength, team background and financial reserves; while the high threshold also automatically filters out speculative projects that lack strength, providing users with the first risk barrier. From the perspective of VIRTUAL token empowerment, the three mechanisms achieve the unity of underlying logic: 1) Unified entry threshold: Regardless of which launch mode is chosen, the project creation fee is 1000 VIRTUAL, using standardized costs to screen high-quality projects. 2) Mandatory Liquidity Binding: All liquidity pairings must use VIRTUAL. This means that the success of each AI Agent project will directly bring new buy orders and liquidity depth to VIRTUAL. 3) Ecosystem Value Feedback: The Pegasus and Unicorn mechanisms mandate that 5% of the token airdrops go to veVIRTUAL stakers, with 2% going to ACP users, directly rewarding loyal holders and participants in the ecosystem.
