Summary

Virtuals officially launched its Unicorn model, replacing the previous Genesis model. The new structure emphasizes early conviction and long-term value. Each Unicorn project begins with a low valuation, offering early participants asymmetric returns. The launch includes transparent team allocations, anti-bot measures, and ecosystem airdrops, with 5% of the supply allocated to the community, divided between VIRTUAL stakers and active ecosystem participants.
