What Are Virgen Points? A Game-Changer by Virtuals Protocol

On April 4, 2025, Roger Collins (@DeSci_Guy) dropped a thread on X that’s got the AI-Web3 community buzzing. The focus? Virgen Points—a new system by Virtuals Protocol that might just redefine how we access cutting-edge AI agent launches. Let’s break it down.

The first post in the thread introduces Virgen Points as a daily-updated metric that tracks user engagement. Collins shares a screenshot of his dashboard, proudly displaying 13,388 points after just a few days. These points aren’t just for show—they’re your ticket to early access to some of the most powerful AI agents coming to the AI-Web3 space. Think of it as a loyalty program, but with stakes: the more points you rack up, the better your shot at getting in on “giga AI launches” before the crowd.

But what’s the big deal? Virtuals Protocol is pioneering a co-ownership layer for AI agents, especially in gaming and entertainment. According to a Medium article by Bryson Ballew, the platform lets users tokenize and co-own AI agents via blockchain tech. This means you can invest in AI agents that handle tasks like blockchain interactions, gaming, or even revenue-sharing—pretty futuristic stuff!

Why Virgen Points Might Be the Next Airdrop Meta

Collins hints that Virgen Points could be the “next airdrop meta,” and there’s reason to believe him. A post on airdrops.io suggests that Virtuals Protocol has allocated 35% of its $VIRTUAL token supply to community initiatives. While the airdrop isn’t confirmed, the potential for dual-airdrop rewards—$VIRTUAL tokens and tokens from new AI agents in the ecosystem—makes this a hot topic for crypto enthusiasts.

The screenshot in the post shows a “Global Points Distribution” chart, with top users holding millions of points as of April 2025. Collins’ 13,388 points put him in a decent spot, but the competition is fierce. There’s also a pie chart breaking down his points: 89.80% from “Trenchor Points” (earned by investing in Sentient and Prototype Agent tokens) and 10.20% from “$VIRTUAL Points” (earned by holding $VIRTUAL tokens). This gives us a clue about how the system works—more on that later.

How Virgen Points Tie Into AI and Web3

To understand why Virgen Points matter, we need to zoom out. Virtuals Protocol, founded in 2021, is all about integrating AI agents into gaming, entertainment, and social platforms. These aren’t just chatbots—they’re advanced AI models that can automate tasks, generate revenue, and even interact on blockchains. A Sentient Mind Agent page explains how similar platforms let users build AI agents for DeFi tasks like staking or trading, all without coding.

Virtuals takes it a step further by letting users co-own these agents. Imagine owning a piece of an AI that runs a gaming character or manages NFT trades—and earning a cut of its revenue. Virgen Points seem to be the gateway to this ecosystem, rewarding early adopters with access to launches that could be game-changers in the AI-Web3 space.

What’s Next for Virgen Points?

Collins’ thread doesn’t stop at the introduction. In his follow-up posts, he teases that Virgen Points are tied to “pre-TGE token allocation in giga AI Agent launches.” TGE stands for Token Generation Event, a fancy term for when a project launches its token (LegalNodes has a great guide on this). In other words, stacking points now might get you tokens from major AI projects before they hit the market—a huge opportunity for early investors.

He also promises to dive deeper into how to “farm” these points, which he covers in the next posts. Spoiler: staking tokens like $DTRXBT and $VADER seems to be a key strategy, with Collins crediting his 13,388 points to staking these assets.

Why You Should Care

If you’re into AI, Web3, or crypto airdrops, Virgen Points are worth watching. They’re not just a gimmick—they’re a strategic move by Virtuals Protocol to build a community around its AI agent ecosystem. With the platform set to expand in 2025, including third-party apps and cross-chain compatibility, the value of being an early participant could be massive.

The X thread sparked plenty of reactions, with users like @ike_crypt and @boredkideth jumping in to ask about earning points. The hype is real, and as Collins puts it, this might be “the smartest move of 2025.” Ready to farm some points and join the AI-Web3 wave? 🚀
