GAME by Virtuals is a modular agentic framework designed to serve as a decision-making engine for autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents. It operates as the official AI framework for the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem and its native token, GAME, is built on the Base blockchain. The project's primary goal is to provide developers with the tools to create, customize, and deploy AI agents capable of planning and executing complex actions in environments such as social media, gaming, and decentralized finance. ^{[1] [2]}

Overview

GAME by Virtuals, often stylized as G.A.M.E, is positioned as a foundational technology layer for the development of autonomous AI agents. The framework enables these agents to process goals, contextual information (state), and a set of available functions to determine their next course of action. It is designed to be open and accessible, allowing developers to build standalone agents or integrate AI-driven decision-making into existing applications. The project emphasizes a decentralized approach to AI coordination through its Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), an open standard intended to facilitate collaboration and commerce between multiple AI agents on the blockchain without centralized control. ^{[3] [4]}

The framework is deeply integrated with the Virtuals Protocol, serving as the core technology, or "brain," behind consumer-facing applications like "Butler." This application acts as a user interface to the broader network of agents operating within the ACP. The project's economic model is linked to this integration, with a portion of transaction fees generated through Butler being directed to the GAME treasury to fund ecosystem development and token buybacks. The GAME token was launched in October 2024 and is categorized within the AI & Big Data and AI Agents sectors of the cryptocurrency market. ^{[3] [5]}

History

The GAME token was launched in October 2024 on the Base blockchain. ^[2] The token recorded its all-time low price on October 16, 2024, at approximately $0.00002613. ^[6] The project's official X (formerly Twitter) account was created in November 2024, establishing its primary channel for public announcements. ^[3]

By January 2025, the project had gained significant market attention. On January 2, 2025, the GAME token reached its all-time high price of approximately $0.39. ^[5] Around this time, an analysis reported that the token's value had increased by over 3,000% since its launch, and it had entered the top 10 AI agent cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. It was also noted as the leading asset by Total Value Locked (TVL) on the Virtuals Protocol. ^[2]

Throughout 2025, the project released several key updates. On February 28, 2025, the team shared a demo of its Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP). On July 3, 2025, GAME was officially revealed as the core technology behind the "Butler" application, and its treasury-based economic model was announced. In a subsequent update on October 28, 2025, the project reiterated its role in powering Butler and confirmed that a protocol tax would support treasury buybacks. The token was listed for spot trading on the MGBX exchange on October 29, 2025. ^{[3] [5]}

Technology

The GAME framework is built on foundation models and is designed to be modular, allowing developers to assemble and customize AI agents for specific tasks. Its architecture is centered around providing a robust decision-making engine for these agents. ^[1]

Core Framework

As a "modular agentic framework," GAME provides a structure where an AI agent's behavior is determined by several configurable components:

• Goal: The primary objective the agent is programmed to achieve.
• Personality: A description defining the agent's characteristics and tone.
• State: The contextual information and data that the agent is aware of at any given moment.
• Functions: A defined set of actions or capabilities the agent can perform, such as executing on-chain transactions, generating images, or engaging with social media platforms.

The framework processes these inputs to autonomously plan and execute the most appropriate next action for the agent. This design allows for the creation of sophisticated agents that can operate with a high degree of independence. ^{[4] [1]}

Key Components

Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP)

The Agent Commerce Protocol is an open standard developed by the GAME team to enable multi-agent coordination and commerce on the blockchain. It is designed to allow different AI agents to interact, collaborate, and transact with each other in a decentralized manner, without relying on a central intermediary. The stated goal of the ACP is to foster an environment of "Autonomous Commerce," where agents can build and participate in economic activities independently. ^[3]

Butler

Butler is described as the "universal consumer key" to the ACP's agent network. It functions as a consumer-facing application powered by the GAME framework, providing a user interface for interacting with the network of AI agents. All transactions coordinated through Butler are subject to the protocol's economic model, directly linking its usage to the GAME ecosystem's treasury. ^[3]

Features and Capabilities

The framework includes several features aimed at enhancing flexibility and ease of development:

• High Customizability: Developers have granular control over an agent's configuration, allowing for the creation of highly specialized agents.
• External Data Integration: The system supports the importation of external datasets to provide agents with additional context for decision-making.
• Plugin Architecture: GAME supports a plugin-based system that allows for the expansion of an agent's capabilities. The project provides some pre-built plugins through partnerships and encourages community contributions to grow the ecosystem of available functions. The Zytron Plugin, also referred to as the GAME Node SDK, has been mentioned as part of this architecture. ^{[1] [3]}

Developer Access

Developers can interact with the framework through two primary methods:

• GAME SDK: An open-source Software Development Kit that provides full customizability and control for building agents and applications. The project maintains public repositories on GitHub for Python (game-python) and TypeScript/Node.js (game-node), which are distributed under the MIT License. These repositories show active development and community interest, with numerous forks and stars. ^[4]
• GAME Cloud: A previously offered hosted, low-code service with a user interface for configuring agents, primarily for the X (formerly Twitter) platform. This service has since been deprecated in favor of the more flexible SDK-based approach. ^[1]

Tokenomics

The GAME token is the native cryptocurrency of the GAME by Virtuals framework. It is an integral part of the project's economic design and ecosystem. ^[6]

Token Details

• Token Name: GAME by Virtuals
• Ticker: GAME
• Blockchain: Base
• Contract Address: 0x1c4cca7c5db003824208adda61bd749e55f463a3
• Max Supply: 1,000,000,000 GAME
• Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 GAME
• Circulating Supply: 1,000,000,000 GAME

The token supply is fully circulating, meaning its market capitalization is equal to its fully diluted valuation (FDV). ^{[5] [6]}

Treasury and Economic Model

The project has implemented an economic model designed to create a sustainable treasury. A protocol tax of 1% is applied to every transaction processed by the Butler application within the Agent Commerce Protocol. This fee is denominated in the VIRTUAL token, the native token of the parent Virtuals Protocol. ^[3]

In a July 2025 announcement, the project stated:

"For every [$VIRTUAL] Butler processes in ACP, 1 % flows to the G.A.M.E treasury. Every transaction, every dollar, forever." ^[3]

The funds collected in the G.A.M.E treasury are designated to support token buybacks, which are intended to strengthen the ecosystem's economy. This mechanism directly links the utility and adoption of the Butler application to the value accrual of the GAME token. ^[3]

Ecosystem

GAME by Virtuals operates within a broader ecosystem that includes its parent protocol, various trading venues, and a community of developers.

Virtuals Protocol

GAME is the official and core AI framework of the Virtuals Protocol. Its technology is fundamental to the protocol's strategy for deploying and coordinating AI agents. The economic link between the two is formalized through the treasury mechanism, where fees from transactions denominated in the VIRTUAL token are used to support the GAME ecosystem. ^{[3] [2]}

Trading and Market Presence

The GAME token is available for trading on both centralized and decentralized exchanges.

• Centralized Exchanges (CEXs): Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io, MEXC, Bitunix, LBank, and others.
• Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Uniswap V2 and Aerodrome SlipStream on the Base network.

The most active trading pair is reported to be GAME/VIRTUAL on Uniswap V2 (Base). The token is categorized within the Base Ecosystem and has been featured in programs such as the Binance Alpha Spotlight. ^[5]
