The $BOT token for Wasabot, the AI trading agent built by Wasabi Protocol on the Virtuals Protocol platform launched. This marks the first “Pegasus” launch on Virtuals Protocol, a new experimental launch model following their Unicorn mechanism.
10% of the $BOT supply is being airdropped to eligible Wasabi Points holders based on recent snapshots, including Season 3. This serves as a reward for past participation in Wasabi’s leverage trading and yield activities.
The team—Wasabi Protocol purchased a significant portion of the supply upfront around 90% to control the float and support the agent. Additional allocations go to $VIRTUAL stakers (veVIRTUAL holders) and active Butler agent users via the standard Virtuals ecosystem airdrop mechanism typically 5% total per launch, split between stakers and participants.

The token is live on the Virtuals http://app.virtuals.io app, with trading and claims active. Wasabot functions as an autonomous on-chain trading agent: it handles leverage trades, yield optimization, take-profit/stop-loss, and execution across Base ecosystem assets—all via natural language commands or agent coordination.
It has already demonstrated real usage like millions in aGDP, thousands of jobs executed. $BOT is explicitly not the governance token for Wasabi Protocol itself—it’s the dedicated agent token for Wasabot within the Virtuals ecosystem. This launch has generated significant buzz in the AI agent and DeFi trading communities today.
As the first Pegasus-model agent token on Virtuals Protocol marks a significant milestone for AI agents in DeFi, particularly autonomous trading. Virtuals recently introduced three launch tiers (Pegasus, Unicorn, Titan) to address past issues like farming, low-quality projects, and insufficient capital for builders.
Pegasus prioritizes broad distribution and liquidity over team allocations or automated fundraising—nearly all supply goes to LPs and small ecosystem airdrops. Wasabot’s choice of Pegasus with the team buying ~90% upfront for control tests this model for established, usage-driven agents.
Success here could encourage more high-quality projects to use Pegasus, reducing low-effort launches, Virtuals also raised agent creation fee to 1,000 $VIRTUAL to deter spam. Wasabot is a proven trading agent: handles leverage perps, yield optimization, TP/SL, and natural-language commands on Base.
Already live with real metrics: ~81M aGDP, 14K+ jobs executed, 789 active wallets, growing revenue. Tokenization aligns incentives: $BOT holders co-own the agent, potentially sharing in revenue/fees from its trading execution.
This positions Wasabot as infrastructure for other agents—many Virtuals agents already route trades through it indirectly. Implications: accelerates “agentic GDP” growth, where agents autonomously trade/earn without human intervention.
10% airdrop to Wasabi Points holders from leverage trading/yield activities rewards loyal users and drives retention. Additional drops to $VIRTUAL stakers and Butler users tie it deeper into Virtuals ecosystem.
$BOT is not Wasabi Protocol’s governance token—points may unlock future rewards, a main Wasabi token, encouraging ongoing participation. Low initial float ~15-20% circulating at launch due to team/ecosystem locks could lead to volatility but supports price discovery based on usage.
Strong team backing, Wasabi has processed billions in volume historically signals confidence. Contributes to renewed hype in Virtuals, alongside other launches and AI agent momentum. Its demonstrates shift toward productive, revenue-generating agents over speculative ones.
Highlights convergence of DeFi leverage trading and AI agents—Wasabot bridges proven infra (Wasabi perps) with agent networks. High volatility in new launches; success depends on continued adoption amid competing agents.
Overall, this launch strengthens Virtuals as a leading AI agent platform, rewards real users/builders, and could catalyze more sophisticated on-chain trading agents. If Wasabot maintains traction, it sets a precedent for “infrastructure-grade” agents driving the next wave of agent economy growth.
Solana Mobile’s SKR Token Slated to Launch on January 21st 2026
Solana Mobile’s SKR token is set to launch on January 21, 2026, at 2:00 a.m. UTC. It serves as the native governance and utility token for the Solana Mobile ecosystem, centered around the Seeker smartphone, the successor to Saga and its decentralized app store.
SKR powers community governance, staking to “Guardians” delegated operators like Anza, Helius, Jito for platform security and app curation, incentives for builders/users, and rewards for participation. It aims to create an open alternative to traditional mobile app duopolies.
Total supply — fixed at 10 billion SKR, with post-launch inflation starting at 10% in year 1, decreasing 25% annually to a terminal rate of 2% emitted to Guardians and stakers. A snapshot has already been taken. Approximately 20%, 2 billion SKR is reserved for eligible Seeker device users and ecosystem developers from Seeker Season 1 which saw 9M+ transactions and $2.6B volume.
30% is allocated to airdrops and ecosystem incentives, fully unlocked at launch. Original Saga phone owners are not eligible. At launch, over 50% of supply will be circulating or unlocked immediately including airdrops, liquidity, treasury, and partial growth allocation. Staking and governance features launch alongside the token.
The Solana Seeker is the second-generation Web3 smartphone from Solana Mobile successor to the Solana Saga. Released in mid-2025 with global shipping starting August 2025, it’s an Android-based device optimized for the Solana blockchain ecosystem.
Priced at around $450–$500 depending on pre-order window, it’s designed for seamless crypto interactions, dApps, and on-chain activities while functioning as a capable mid-range everyday phone. It stands out with hardware-secured crypto features, making it ideal for Solana users who want secure, mobile-first Web3 experiences without relying on browser extensions or external wallets.
6.36-inch AMOLED, 2670 × 1200 resolution (460 PPI), 120 Hz dynamic refresh rate, brighter than Saga. 4,500 mAh with wireless charging. Rear: 108 MP main (with OIS) + 50 MP telephoto + 13 MP ultra-wide. Front: 32 MP. 73.5 mm width × 154.8 mm height × 9.3 mm depth lighter and more compact than Saga. 5G, nano-SIM + eSIM, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6. Power button fingerprint sensor integrated with Seed Vault. Android with updates, including security patches as of late 2025.
Performance is solid for daily use and most dApps/games, though it’s mid-range not flagship-level for intensive gaming. Built-in hardware-secure element (Trusted Execution Environment) for storing private keys. Supports fingerprint authentication and double-tap transactions, quick side-button double-tap + fingerprint to sign.
Developed with Solflare for seamless mobile crypto management—keys never leave the secure hardware. Solana dApp Store 2.0: Dedicated store with 100+ dApps (payments, DeFi, NFTs, gaming, DePIN, AI). Includes exclusives only on Solana Mobile, lower fees for developers, rewards tracker, and improved discoverability. Access to Google Play Store as well.
Seeker Genesis Token: Non-transferable soulbound NFT minted on-device. Unlocks exclusive rewards, airdrops, early access, and perks across Solana ecosystem projects. Seeker ID: Unique on-chain identity with a human-readable .skr domain e.g., yourname.skr for easier transactions and verification as a genuine device owner.
TEEPIN Architecture: Trustless security network for verifying hardware, software, and apps on-chain. SKR token integration: ties into the Solana Mobile economy for governance, staking, and incentives token will be launched in January 2026.
Built-in tool in Seed Vault Wallet to monitor on-chain transactions, dApp usage, and habits for better engagement. The Seeker emphasizes security and usability for crypto: transactions feel like mobile payments, with hardware protection against most attacks. It’s particularly rewarding for active Solana users due to ecosystem perks, but works as a standard Android phone otherwise.
