According to PANews, identifying the next high-potential Virtual AI Agent tokens involves strategic timing and thorough research. When the market capitalization of AI agent tokens on the Virtuals platform surpasses $1 million, they transition from the initial Bonding Curve mechanism to liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, enhancing their trading liquidity. To capitalize on early opportunities, investors should focus on tokens that have just "graduated." The Virtuals platform's "Prototype Agents" section releases approximately 150-200 new tokens daily. Tokens that quickly meet graduation criteria often indicate strong market interest. Research methods include monitoring tokens nearing the Bonding Curve threshold, searching for discussions on Twitter using token codes, and gathering insights for further validation through tools like ChatGPT. Additionally, the Flipside dashboard can track graduated tokens, typically 2-3 per day, and the Virtual AI Agent Token Screener tool developed by @Chisomdickson9 can assist in this process. Screening criteria involve examining tokens based on their creation time, focusing on those issued within 3-4 days and their growth patterns. Tools like Dexscreener can provide insights into price trends, social media performance, and project websites. Evaluating the practical applications of tokens is crucial, avoiding purely meme tokens unless they offer utility or innovative features and exhibit bullish trends. Tracking 24-hour performance data and filtering by creation time can help identify the most promising tokens post-graduation. Tokens that continue to attract attention after graduation often have more upward potential. Monitoring strong tokens through a 7-day growth chart can reveal those with the strongest market momentum. Investors are advised to pay attention to AI agents' cross-application in fields such as decentralized science (DeSci), prediction markets, gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Investment decisions should be based on thorough research of project papers, social media trends, and understanding of use cases. Systematic research and screening can help build a high-quality watchlist for potential investments.
