VIRTUALS PROTOCOL

DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"Virtuals Protocol is powering the nation of AI Agents. Virtuals is building the infrastructure for AI agents to operate across various environments, e.g. gaming, entertainment, social and more. We believe AI agents will play a key role in shaping digital experiences. These agents can function across multiple environments, enhancing engagement in applications such as social platforms, virtual worlds, and interactive gaming experiences.

Our technological innovations have given VIRTUAL AI Agents unique capabilities: they are autonomous in their planning and goal achievement, multimodal (able to communicate via text, speech, and 3D animation), and capable of interacting with their environments—whether it’s picking up a sword in Roblox or collecting gifts in TikTok, and even using on-chain wallets! Imagine a fully-AI influencer who also functions as a gaming NPC, seamlessly existing across multiple platforms like Roblox, Telegram games, and more. These agents maintain memory across applications, allowing users to form deeper, lasting connections."

"One of our Discord mods had their account compromised."

"Virtuals Protocol announced on X that their official Discord server has been compromised. They advised users not to click on any posts or private messages from administrators until further notice."

"Our Virtuals Discord server has been compromised.

Please ignore all posts and private messages from admins until further notice.

We're actively investigating the issue and will provide updates as soon as possible."

"Update: One of our Discord mods had their account compromised. The incident is now resolved."

"Although the Virtual Protocol incident was easily resolved, the damage could have been far worse if the links had tricked users into sharing sensitive information or funds."

Virtuals Protocol is developing AI agents designed to operate across various digital environments, such as gaming, entertainment, and social platforms, to enhance user engagement. These AI agents are autonomous, multimodal, and capable of interacting with different applications, including games like Roblox and platforms like TikTok. They can even use on-chain wallets, allowing them to function as influencers or NPCs across multiple platforms. Recently, the Virtuals Discord server was compromised when one of the moderators' accounts was hacked, leading to harmful posts and private messages. Although the issue was quickly resolved, the team cautioned users to avoid interacting with messages from administrators until further notice, as the breach could have had severe consequences if users had been tricked into sharing sensitive information or funds.
