(Virtuals Points Complete Guide: Find out how to obtain them and achieve efficient new listings)

Dividends from new listings and "playing with your mouth" have become two important ways to earn income in the crypto market.

Virtuals' Genesis Launch has attracted much attention with its unique model of distributing priority tickets for popular new AI agent tokens. To participate in this program, users need to accumulate Virgen Points, which can be obtained through various activities such as staking tokens, trading, and engaging in social media.

Recently, the methods and rules for earning points have undergone changes. This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to help readers understand how to efficiently gain points and participate in new listings.

Two main methods to earn points

There are two main methods to earn points in the Virtuals ecosystem: Daily Active Bonus (DAB) and Daily Direct Points (DDP).

Daily Active Bonus (DAB)

This method involves actively participating in different activities and manually claiming points every day. To get points from DAB, the first step is to stake AI agent tokens, Genesis Agents and Regular Agents.

Genesis Agents are tokens issued through Genesis Launch, usually newly launched AI agent projects, and such tokens tend to have higher appreciation potential, but may also be subject to lock-up or cooling-off periods.

Regular Agents are tokens that are not issued by Genesis Launch and may come from secondary market purchases or other channels. Such tokens have higher liquidity, but the point multiplier may be lower than Genesis Agents.

The purpose of staking proxy tokens is to prove your support for the ecosystem by locking these tokens, thereby obtaining daily point rewards. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Prepare tokens: Make sure you have Genesis Agents or Regular Agents tokens in your wallet. You can get Genesis Agents by participating in the Genesis Launch sale, or buy Regular Agents on the secondary market (such as a decentralized exchange).

2. Visit the Stake page: Log in to the Virtuals official website (https://app.virtuals.io/points) and enter the “Stake” page.

3. Select a staking contract: You can stake through the Virtuals official staking contract or the whitelisted project contract. The official contract is usually operated directly on the official website, while the whitelisted project contract may be an exclusive contract for a specific AI agent project (need to be viewed on the project page).

4. Confirm staking: Select the amount of tokens to be staked. After confirmation, the tokens will be locked and you will start to receive points from daily active rewards.

You can stake through the Virtuals official staking contract (operated on the Virtuals official website) or the whitelist project contract. If you choose to stake through the whitelist project contract, you need to note that these contracts usually set a 14-day unlocking cooldown period (Delayed Agent Release, referred to as DAR). This means that once you stake the token, you cannot directly unlock or withdraw it within 14 days. This mechanism is designed to encourage long-term holding, prevent users from quickly arbitrage, and ensure the stability of the ecosystem.

During this period, you can still receive daily staking points rewards normally, but if you unlock early (some contracts may allow early exit, but will lose some rewards), it may affect your points multiplier and even trigger other penalty mechanisms. Therefore, it is recommended to confirm your fund planning before staking to avoid loss of income due to early unlocking due to short-term needs.

When staking, the status of the token will directly affect your DAB income. Virtuals divides tokens into three states: Green Lock, Yellow Lock, and DYOR (unlocked).

Among them, green lock tokens refer to tokens that have been unlocked by developers for more than 7 days, which symbolizes a longer lock-up period and reflects the long-term commitment of the project party. The official design of the green lock mechanism is to reward players who are aligned with the ecosystem for a long time. If you stake green lock tokens, you will receive an additional point multiplier bonus (usually 1.5 times or higher, depending on the token).

In addition to staking, trading $VIRTUAL or proxy tokens can also increase the multiplier of the daily active reward. The larger the trading volume, the higher the multiplier. Community players' experience shows that waiting for the price to fall back 24 hours after the new token is released before buying can not only reduce costs, but also increase points through trading.

However, it should be noted that the daily active reward will not be automatically issued. You must manually claim it every day, otherwise you will miss the point reward for that day.

If you open the points claim page (https://app.virtuals.io/points) and find that there are no points to claim today, it means that you have not yet obtained any points today. You need to check if you have staked tokens and participated in other activities to earn points.

If you have already staked tokens and completed other tasks but still cannot claim points, it may be because the payout period has not yet arrived. The system usually issues points to your wallet every day at 00:00 UTC.

If you encounter any problems claiming points or have any questions about
