Genesis Update: Developer Vesting Now Visible + Auto-Lock Feature Live We’ve added a new feature to the Genesis Launch: developers can now opt into auto-locking and vesting schedules for their token allocations, directly within the launch interface. More importantly, Virgens can now view these vesting choices in full detail, helping them make informed decisions about which projects to back. ---- Why This Matters Our mission with Genesis Launch has always been twofold: 1. Ensure fair, transparent launches, no snipers, no cabals. 2. Make it effortless for Virgens to navigate projects, assess risk, and support what aligns with their values. By surfacing developer vesting schedules, we provide an added layer of transparency. For supporters with more risk-aware preferences, the absence of token locking may influence their decision to pledge. This update helps them filter projects with greater clarity. At the same time, we’ve automated the backend process of token distribution, so developers can focus on what they do best: building great agents. Virtuals handles the infrastructure. Developers handle the vision. ---- How It Works (Virgen Side) All Genesis Launch pages will now show: •Whether the developer opted for locking •Full vesting breakdown and timelines •A visualized chart of token release schedules This allows users to assess commitment, risk, and alignment before pledging. ---- How It Works (Developer Side) Developers can now allocate and lock up to 50% of their unallocated developer supply. Developers will be prompted to: •Set categories (e.g., “Core Team”, “Marketing & Operations”) •Enter recipients and amounts •Choose a vesting schedule: •Immediate: Tokens unlock at a fixed date post-TGE •Linear: Tokens unlock gradually from a set start date By default, locking is recommended. If developers opt out, developers will be required to provide a recipient wallet address for immediate transfer. Once finalized, the vesting schedule is implemented and executed. Developers will have 24 hours post-submission to make changes, after that, the schedule is locked in. This is another step toward making Genesis a launchpad where real projects thrive, and rugs don’t. More transparency. Less risk. Virgens, do your research. Developers, build with confidence.

We treasure the magic of first experiences. When someone steps into Virtuals Protocol, tries something new, and feels the potential. Bad actors who try to ruin that? Virtuals Protocol doesn’t tolerate it. Today, we witnessed @playgameAI attempt to exploit the Genesis Launch, riding the wave, deceiving users, and breaking trust. 1. @playgameAI launch will be permanently failed. 2. A Compensation Plan is in motion for affected users. 3. And as always, Virtuals Protocol will never ask you to send funds outside official channels. The protocol protects its own.
