If you’ve been diving into the wild world of Virtuals Protocol, you’ve probably heard the buzz about earning points through Yapping and DAB. But with the old strategy of pledging and staking everything now considered “dead,” it’s time to rethink your approach. Enter Evans Web3 Dev, a Web3 enthusiast who recently dropped a game-changing thread on X about his new strategy to dominate Virtuals Genesis. Let’s break it down and see how you can start winning too!

The Shift in Strategy

Evans is waving goodbye to the days of blindly staking every agent you come across. The old meta—pledging and staking everything—has lost its edge due to liquidity drains and overhyped launches. Instead, he’s focusing on a smarter, more selective approach:

• Stake Agents You Believe In: Only commit to agents that align with your gut instinct or long-term vision.
• Prioritize ACP Agents and Underdogs: Look for ACP (Agent Contribution Points) agents or pioneering underpledged agents for higher potential returns.
• Avoid Hype Traps: Skip the generic, overhyped agents that promise quick gains but often lead to losses.

This shift is all about quality over quantity, and the numbers back it up.

Real Results from Evans’ Playbook

To prove his point, Evans shared his latest pledges and their performance based on current Ath Virgen Point prices:

• WACH: $0.0024
• LEGEND: $0.0019
• LILY: $0.0054

He’s also raking in Yapping Points with top performers like @Vader_AI_ (14k daily, 420k monthly) and @virtuals_io (8k daily, 240k monthly). Here’s how that translates to potential returns if he pledges it all:

• WACH: $1,584 total ($1,008 from Vader, $576 from Virtuals)
• LEGEND: $1,254 total ($798 from Vader, $456 from Virtuals)
• LILY: $3,564 total ($2,268 from Vader, $1,296 from Virtuals)

The pattern? Agents like WACH lean toward ACP, LEGEND combines pioneer status with underpledging, and LILY is the MVP with ACP, pioneer traits, and underpledged potential. This shows that strategic staking can lead to significant gains.

Why This Works

Evans emphasizes that knowing where to pledge is the real meta. Chasing every random launch or staking low-quality agents just to earn a few extra points won’t cut it. Instead, you can farm 25-30k DAB daily by staking the right ACP agent. The key is to adjust your expectations and focus on long-term value rather than short-term hype.

This approach ties into the broader crypto staking concept, where locking up your assets (in this case, Genesis tokens) earns you rewards. However, Virtuals adds a twist with its Yapping and DAB mechanics, rewarding active participation and smart choices.

Should You Follow Suit?

The crypto community seems to agree. Replies from users like @Fund911 and @Gamex11Arena echo Evans’ sentiments, with some stacking OG agents and others burning through $VIRTUAL for ACP gains. If you’re stuck—like the user who’s staking $400 worth of agents but not earning Yapping points—consider reviewing your agent selection or checking the Virtuals FAQ for cooldowns or balance issues.

Evans is even teasing a full article on his $VADER Yapping farm, complete with public wallet details. If he delivers, it could be a goldmine for anyone looking to refine their strategy.
