PANews reported on October 7th that Virtuals announced the launch of a new startup model, Unicorn. Compared to the previous Genesis model, Unicorn no longer solely pursues fairness, but instead emphasizes early conviction and long-term value. Each Unicorn project starts with a low valuation, allowing early participants to receive asymmetric returns. The founding team only receives funding when the project actually grows, ensuring responsibility and long-term development. The launch process includes a creation phase, an early trading phase, and a transparent team allocation mechanism. It also features anti-scaling mechanisms and ecosystem airdrops to reward VIRTUAL token holders and active community members. The Unicorn model will gradually replace the Genesis points system, shifting rewards from points to VIRTUAL staking and ecosystem activity. Each Unicorn Launch will allocate 5% of the total supply to genuine community members, 2% to VIRTUAL stakers, and 3% to active Virtuals ecosystem participants. Airdrops will be distributed weekly, with snapshots documenting VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activity.
