Over the last month, the altcoin market has seen a sharp bounce, and Virtual Protocol has been one of the top performers during this recovery. The token has climbed over 250% in the past four weeks and is up 156% just the last seven days as of April 29. Despite this impressive move, it still sits nearly 72% below its all-time high of 5.25, currently trading at 1.46.

Virtual Protocol is an AI-focused blockchain project designed around the idea of a fully autonomous digital economy. It operates as a society of productive AI agents, each created to generate services or products and autonomously engage in commerce—either with humans or with other agents—onchain. These AI agents are tokenized and represented through respective Agent Tokens, enabling:

• Capital formation

• Permissionless participation

• Aligned incentives among creators, investors, and agents

The core idea behind Virtual Protocol is to create a decentralized network of AI agents that can interact, trade, and evolve independently without needing centralized platforms or intermediaries. By bringing these AI systems fully onchain, the protocol opens up new possibilities for how value is created, exchanged, and scaled within decentralized ecosystems.

The project is governed by a decentralized group of token holders. While the founding team of engineers and AI researchers remains active, protocol upgrades and major decisions are increasingly made through community votes and on-chain governance proposals.

Key price levels and performance:

• Current price: 1.46

• All-time high: 5.25

• Key daily support: 1.06 to 1.11

• Key daily resistance: 1.54 and 1.86

• Four-week performance: +250%

• Seven-day performance as of April 29: +156%t

Despite being down significantly from its peak, Virtual Protocol’s recent surge highlights renewed interest in AI-driven crypto projects and the broader altcoin sector. If momentum continues, especially with growing focus around decentralized AI and autonomous agent economies, VIRTUAL could be setting the stage for a deeper move heading into May.
