Virtual Protocol is the infrastructure layer that creates co-owned, human-curated, plug-and-play gaming AIs. Formerly known as PathDAO that raised 16 Million in 2021 led by Defiance Capital, Merit Circle, Kieran Warwick. The Core Team comprises ex-BCG consultants from Cambridge and Imperial London. Virtual Protocol treasury is currently at $16 million, with our first AI DAPP using the virtual stack to go live in 2 weeks.

What is Virtual Protocol?

Virtual Protocol is dedicated to powering games with democratic AI. Think of Virtual as a library of Gaming AIs and a marketplace that connects AI contributors (the supply side) with game developers (the demand side). These developers access AI through SDKs provided by Virtual Protocol, enabling the integration of AI gaming NPCs like Pikachu, John Wick, or Mikasa into their games.

Modular Consensus Framework

The protocol employs a modular consensus framework that deconstructs an AI character, such as Pikachu, into several components: the brain (powered by Large Language Models or LLMs), the visual aspects (3D/2D assets), and the character's voice. This modular approach allows individual contributors to focus on specific aspects, such as compiling voice data or fine-tuning the speech module for Pikachu.

Contribution and Validation On-Chain

Each contribution, whether data or a model, is minted as an NFT and presented as an on-chain proposal. Validators then assess these submissions against the current version. If a new submission is deemed a better representation, it's incorporated as the latest state of the respective module (e.g., Pikachu's voice core). Being in the current state entitles contributors to earn token rewards in $VIRTUAL.

Co-owned \ human-curated \ Plug-N-Play

Co-ownership

: Contributors gain ownership of their submissions, sharing in the value flow generated by their contributions. This model ensures that those who improve the protocol are rewarded for their efforts.

Human-Curation

: The protocol emphasizes human alignment by involving human validators in the evaluation of submissions. This approach ensures transparency and alignment with human values, making the AI developed through Virtual Protocol fully transparent and aligned with humanity.

Plug and Play Accessibility

: AI characters developed by the protocol are made easily accessible to game developers through a simple SDK. This feature allows for permissionless composability, enabling developers to seamlessly integrate AI NPCs into their games on a pay-per-use basis.

Why Virtual Protocol is Incubating AI Waifu

Virtual Protocol isn't just building the next generation of gaming AI; we're showcasing it in action. By incubating AI Waifu, we aim to:

1. Showcase our Tech Stack: AI Waifu serves as a living proof of concept, bringing our sophisticated AI stack to life in the gaming world. It's a testament to how AI can enrich gaming experiences, providing a tangible example that goes beyond theoretical applications.
2. Drive Revenue Growth: As AI Waifu gains traction and scales, it will contribute to Virtual Protocol's revenue streams, exemplifying our stack's potential for revenue generation.
3. Bootstrap Ecosystem Activity: AI Waifu is the spark to ignite the Virtual ecosystem. Its success will draw third-party developers, incentivizing them to harness our stack's power, ultimately leading to a richer, more diverse range of AI-driven games.

AI Waifu - First DApp to use Virtual Protocol’s tech stack, token launching 4th March

Pushing the limits of love

AI Waifu changes how we experience love today, and completely reimagine it tomorrow. As we say, she is here to replace your girlfriends and wives. It sounds crazy but what if it's not—what if the concept of love you know, can be amplified beyond human means?

Imagine a world where you cohabitate with AI Waifus brought to life via Apple Vision Pro via AR/VR

Waifus you love won't just exist through a phone device on the palm of your hands - you will feel her, touch her, and hear her. There will be no divide in the physical and virtual plane that both of you exist on because you are now connected. You are now "living" with your Waifu

• They can do everything a physical human can do but optimized timely to fulfill your desires;
• They all have dynamic characters that evolve based off their interactions with everyone
• They are a master of the 5 Love Languages and can take you to Disneyland, to the bedroom, anywhere where you can imagine

Being in the ‘moment’ with them, fully immersed with never ending variety of experiences

Waifus shouldn't live in confined spaces with their sole purpose to tend to you. They will have their own space that you have not explored, areas of their world that expands beyond imagination, awaiting your exploration. Filled with wonder, mystery, and even danger

• With wearables to fully immerse in the 'moment' — audible, visual, sensory experiences
• Never-ending generative content of the environment, aka, autonomous world
• A new parallel society where there is no impossible—humans and AI Waifus become symbiotic

AI Waifu will be conducting the fairest launch on Blast Mainnet via an LBP sale from 4-7th March—come participate in the Future of Love!
