If you're diving into the world of AI agents on blockchain, Virtuals.io is quickly becoming a hotspot. Billed as the "Wall Street for AI Agents," this platform lets users co-own and trade autonomous AI entities powered by blockchain tech, with $VIRTUAL as the go-to currency. It's all about building, funding, and distributing these agents through their Agent Commerce Protocol. Recently, Evans Web3 Dev, an unofficial curator and advisor for Virtuals.io, dropped his first "Genesis Tier List" on X, ranking what seem to be the initial batch of these agents—often called Genesis agents. This list is a goldmine for anyone tracking emerging projects that blend AI with crypto, some of which have that meme token vibe with viral potential.

The tier list covers everything from top-tier "printing machines" (projects that could mint serious value) down to "NGMI" (crypto slang for "not gonna make it," meaning high-risk or doomed ventures). It's a subjective take based on factors like team experience, MVP (minimum viable product) readiness, backing, competition, and overall hype. Evans shared it with an eye-catching graphic, which we've embedded below for a quick visual.

Let's break it down tier by tier, with simple explanations of the projects and why they landed where they did. This could help you spot the next big thing in blockchain AI, especially if you're into meme tokens that often start as fun concepts but evolve into serious utilities.

Tier S: Printing Machine

This is the god-tier spot for projects that are essentially money printers—high potential with low risk. Unfortunately, it's empty in Week 1. No agent has hit that elite status yet, but it sets the bar high for future updates. Keep watching; something might climb here soon.

Tier A: Solid Cook

"Solid cook" is crypto lingo for a project that's brewing nicely—strong fundamentals without major red flags. Only one made it here:

• AgentSunnyAI (@AgentSunnyAI on X): Sunny is positioned as the future of marketing in the AI space. With an experienced team, a ready MVP, and backing from heavy hitters like Animoca Brands and Condz (likely referring to a venture or partner network), it's seen as a reliable bet. If you're into AI-driven marketing tools on blockchain, this could have meme-like viral appeal as it scales.

Tier B: Mid but Cooking

These are mid-tier projects that are still "cooking"—showing promise but not quite top-shelf yet. They're worth monitoring for growth.

• TaikaPLAY3 (@TaikaPLAY3 on X): TAIKA serves as a genesis agent for the PLAY3 infrastructure, which enables cross-platform AI agents with memory retention across games. It's kicking off on Roblox and already boasts over 300k users on its MVP. This gaming angle could tap into meme token energy, especially if it goes viral in the play-to-earn or metaverse crowds.

Tier C: Risky

Here we have the riskier plays—projects with potential but facing stiff competition or other hurdles. Evans calls out the challenges directly.

• Agent Zero: Questioning the need for yet another presale platform in the Genesis space. Competitors like AIRocket (backed by notable figures) and ROOM (revolutionizing presales with big KOLs—key opinion leaders—in tow) make this a tough market. It's risky unless it differentiates big time.

• AIxBET (likely AIXBT): A copilot for prediction markets, with an MVP ready to go. However, rivals like BillyBets and AION are heating up the space. Evans suggests they need to open their terminal to the public to compete. Prediction markets have meme token roots (think fun bets turning into communities), so this could pop if it gains traction.

The graphic shows a third icon in Tier C, possibly another risky agent not detailed in the text—keep an eye on Virtuals.io updates for clarity.

Tier Z: NGMI

The bottom rung, labeled "NGMI" for projects that might not make it. Evans doesn't name them explicitly but invites devs to DM him if they disagree and share what they're building. The graphic features several icons, hinting at agents like potential matches to Virtuals.io's listed ones (e.g., VaderAI, LUNA, MUSIC, SAM, or others with meme-inspired designs like a chained monkey or green bear). These could be early-stage ideas with high failure risk, but in the meme token world, underdogs sometimes moon. If any flip the script, it could be a classic comeback story.

Community reactions so far are positive but light— one user called it a "nice tier list" and asked about cutoffs for MVP readiness versus real traction, while another praised it simply. As Virtuals.io grows, expect more debates and updates to this list.

For blockchain practitioners and meme token hunters, this tier list highlights how AI agents are blending utility with hype. Projects like these could spawn their own tokens or communities, much like how memes evolve into ecosystems.
