Virtuals Genesis points system vs CreatorBid V2 launchpad
Quote384 words
Explains how Virtuals allocates launches via a points system with a 10-day cooldown penalty, then CreatorBid's V2 launchpad (BID-vote curation, 37.5% fixed-price sale, jeet score). Judges Virtuals' first-mover lead hard to beat, though the bull run is big enough for several players.
Key claims
Projects need 2M BID votes to launch on CreatorBid
Default launch sells 37.5% at $100K FDV for a $40K raise
Many Virtuals launches returned 10-100x
. @virtuals_io has (once again) become the dominant launchpad as the agent narrative resurfaced in recent weeks.
Its Virgin Points-based system that determines allocations, with points earned through staking agent tokens (genesis or regular), staking $VIRTUAL or $VADER, engaging in trading activities, and yapping, has garnered significant attention in recent weeks.
Combined with a TP Cooldown mechanism that penalizes points earned for 10 days if your genesis token holdings drop below your original allocation (further disincentivizing selling), many launches have performed exceptionally strong, frequently achieving 10-100x returns, which further amplified the hype around the platform.
With @CreatorBid, a challenger now emerges that brings to market a similar agent launchpad system, albeit with slightly different mechanics.
TL;DR of their V2 Launchpad:
- Decentralized Curation: Community-driven model using $BID tokens to vote on agent launches. Projects require 2M $BID votes to launch, incentivizing quality through community-sourced conviction.
- Voting Mechanics: Votes are based on total locked $BID, not spent upon voting. Higher locked $BID equals more voting influence.
- Agent Launch Structure: Default model allocates 37.5% for a fixed-price ecosystem sale ($100K FDV, $40K raise, 0.5% max allocation), 50% for strategic "agentic distribution" to aligned contributors and BID-level holders, and 12.5% for liquidity provision (Base/BNB).
- Agent Algo DEX Sniping: Leftover funds from oversubscribed allocations can optionally be pooled for a weighted first DEX buy (Algo Snipe), providing participants tokens at favourable prices.
- Participation Metrics: User influence and allocations depend on BID Levels, which are influenced by users’ Social Scores, rewarding ecosystem engagement and social activity.
- Jeet Score (Penalties): Discourages short-term selling or wallet transfers post-launch, temporarily reducing users' BID Levels instead of outright exclusion.
My take: Given the massive mindshare and traction the @virtuals_io ecosystem has thanks to its first mover advantage, it will likely be hard to compete for @CreatorBid, regardless of some interesting new features.
But if launches perform well, and if the community curation attracts high-quality launches, there is definitely potential for a similar hype to emerge.
The next wave of agentic growth will be huge, and demand for launchpads both on fundraising side (by projects) and investment side (users) has not topped out yet for the cycle imo.
So the bullrun pie is likely big enough for multiple players.
Ultimately people will always look for the next 100x kek.
