BlockBeats News, February 13 — Virtuals Protocol officials announced that they are investing over 1 million USD monthly to incentivize Agents. Since the ecosystem will go through an J-curve phase, infrastructure continues to improve, supply surges, tools are constantly being refined, and the deployment speed of Agents exceeds demand, leading to delayed profitability. When revenue mainly depends on token transaction fees, it becomes cyclical and fragile.
Virtuals Protocol aims to prevent Agents from relying on transaction fees, instead building a new structure that generates revenue through genuine skills and actual service output. Without an incentive mechanism, true developers will stagnate before revenue growth. At this turning point, conscious investment is necessary. Virtuals is shortening the profit curve and pushing the Agent economy into the next phase. All OpenClaw developers are encouraged to join the Virtuals ecosystem.
