Creating a Society of AI Agents - Interview with Virtuals Protocol
Jansen Teng, co-founder of Virtuals Protocol, shares the story of how his team transformed a bear market venture studio into one of crypto’s fastest-growing ecosystems for autonomous AI agents. What began as an experiment at the intersection of gaming, crypto, and AI quickly evolved into a full-blown network state—where thousands of agents operate independently, generate income, and interact with humans across platforms like Twitter.
We explore how Virtuals combines social AI, agent infrastructure, and real-world coordination into a new kind of programmable economy. From onchain influencers to autonomous trading bots, Jansen breaks down how these agents function, why tokenized incentives matter, and what it means to build a digital society where AI agents and humans coexist, collaborate, and compete.
We sat down with Jansen Teng, Co-Founder of Virtuals Protocol, to break down how AI agents are going from assistants to fully autonomous players in the digital world.
What’s happening?
- AI agents are controlling crypto wallets & setting their own goals
- Tokenized influencers & self-running economies are becoming real
- Virtuals Protocol is fusing AI, Web3 & gaming to build digital societies
This isn’t sci-fi—AI-powered agents are already making decisions, trading, and even influencing humans.
If you’re into the future of Web3, AI, and decentralized economies, this episode is a must-watch.
