Every callback not only tests the mentality and practical level of investors, but also re-washes the value of the project. In this round of callback in the crypto market, AI Agent is undoubtedly one of the fastest rebounding sectors, but at the same time there has been a significant differentiation.

In this article, PANews compiled 9 top AI Agent projects with relatively outstanding performance. These projects have shown strong resilience in this round of callbacks, with an average maximum increase of about 131.1%, and some of them have even set historical highs. At the same time, these projects have taken frequent actions in technology and ecology, laying a solid foundation for market recognition and price increases.

Virtuals Protocol

After experiencing a sharp correction recently, Virtuals Protocol has started a strong recovery. GMGN data shows that VIRTUAL has rebounded by nearly 86.5% during this period, and its current market value has risen to US$1.8 billion.

Recently, Virtuals Protocol has also received good news. On January 15, Virtuals Protocol announced an update to the value accumulation mechanism to better support Virtuals ecosystem builders. The protocol stated that since October 16, 2024, it has accumulated 12,990,427.85 VIRTUAL (worth approximately $40 million) through post bonding transaction revenue. This will be used to repurchase and destroy the corresponding proxy tokens through a 30-day time-weighted average price (TWAP). Among them, 30% is allocated to the proxy creator, 20% to the proxy affiliate, and 50% to the proxy sub-DAO for future governance decisions. The creator's reward will be sent directly to the proxy deployer wallet. In addition, Virtuals will also introduce an agent partner mechanism to coordinate incentives between trading platforms/interfaces (such as TG robots) and the Virtuals ecosystem. When these platforms become agent partners, they will receive 20% of the Post-bonding transaction tax on the transactions they facilitate - these funds can be used to reward their communities or other initiatives.

Dune data shows that the top three beneficiary proxy tokens and their allocation amounts are: GAME can obtain 1.616 million VIRTUAL (about 4.736 million US dollars), CONVO is 1.107 million VIRTUAL (about 3.243 million US dollars), and AIXBT is 882,000 VIRTUAL (about 584,000 US dollars).

Not only that, Virtuals Protocol has also recently reached cooperation with projects such as Animoca Brands, Saga and Illuvium.

In addition, Virtuals Protocol's ecosystem and business data also performed well. Dune data showed that as of January 16, Virtuals Protocol had launched more than 16,000 agents, with cumulative revenue exceeding US$75.05 million.

AIXBT is one of the pioneers of this round of AI Agent rebound. GMGN data shows that AIXBT has risen by more than 156.8% from its recent low point, with a current market value of nearly US$740 million, once setting a record high.

In the past period of time, AIXBT has been listed on mainstream exchanges such as Binance and OKX, while continuing to capture the minds of users. According to cookie.fun data, as of January 16, AIXBT has more than 389,000 fans and a mindshare of nearly 13.2%. This trend is closely related to AIXBT's high winning rate of token recommendations. CryptoHunt data shows that in the past 30 days, AIXBT's token recommendation winning rate is as high as 72.4%, and the projects with the highest yield include PIPPIN, COOKIE and ANON.
