One clear trend which has come out in the current crypto cycle is that trends are getting really volatile. Gone are the days when a new trend will gain momentum over years. Now a new meta can peak within weeks of starting and by the team most users hear about it attention of the people has already moved to the next shiny thing.

Today I will talk about one such meta which I feel has the potential to give life changing gains in the coming weeks.

What Exactly is the Virtual Ecosystem?

In a nutshell Virtuals is a platform that launched AI based projects on Base blockchain. It has also confirmed plans to support Solana based projects considering Solana is also an established base for AI based projects but I am yet to see any Solana projects on Virtuals yet.

Virtuals is not exactly new project as it has been around for 2 years now and it did a great run by giving over 100X to people who were early into it. It had a great run around December last year when the whole AI meta was gaining a lot of attention but then things cooled down as the entire crypto markets took a correction.

Now Virtuals is having a 2nd major run and I see a good possibility that it is going to go well past it’s previous all time highs. It’s Ace this time is going to be the Genesis platform which I will be focusing on through this post.

Why Genesis from Virtuals is going to be a Game Changer?

As I mentioned earlier that people now have really short attention spans and they just like to run from one shiny thing to the next exciting news. This leads to a major culture of pump and dump where people abandon support to solid project as soon as they hear about something new.

This new breed of crypto “JEETers” really hurt Virtuals during it’s previous run when people would take even 10% - 20% gains and move on.

This time Virtuals has come up with a well thought through approach for their Genesis projects to make the platform JEET resistant through placing the following controls:

• VIRGEN Points- You need to collect Virgen points to bid for the new Genesis projects that get launched on Virtuals. The more points you bid the higher will be your token allocation. If you have no Virgen points then you can’t bid for the new projects. 

• Virtuals Use Cases- Through Genesis launchpad I see that clear uses cases for holding and staking $VIRTUALS has emerged. You need to stake Virtuals token to earn Virgen points and you also need Virtuals token to bid for the new Genesis projects. As Genesis program gains momentum I expected a strong pump in the value of Virtuals tokens.

• Stake $VADER- Staking the OG Virtuals project Vader on it’s site also gives you extra Virgen points. Virtuals is directly rewarding long term holders of its OG projects. The longer you hold the more rewards you get.

• Punish JEETs by “JEET Jail”- Virtuals is strongly discouraging JEETing or quickly selling it’s Genesis tokens for a quick gain. Whenever someone sells off his allocation of the Genesis tokens he is placed in “TP (Take profit) Cooldown” for 10 days which is infamously also known as JEET Jail. During these 10 days someone in a Jeet Jail will not receive any Virgen points which are essential for bidding into Genesis projects.
