- One unit is
- one agent-token LAUNCH at stage 1; one graduated agent NFT at stage 2. These are different objects and must never be conflated.
- Entry costs
- free — normalLaunchFee = 0, confirmed on-chain. The widely-repeated '100 VIRTUAL' figure is stale.
What we measured
Base
Launchedagent-token launch on BondingV5
19,180Proof
Graduatedgraduated agent NFT
1,233Proof
- BondingV5 ONLY. Earlier bonding versions exist and we hold no confirmed address for them, so an all-versions launch total is unknown to us — see the venue caveat before computing any conversion rate.
- totalSupply covers graduations from every bonding version, while the launched row covers BondingV5 only. Dividing one by the other mixes denominators.
Confirmed contracts
Every address here was confirmed on-chain twice: bytecode present, and the block explorer's verified contract name matching the claim. A confirmation older than the re-check interval renders as stale rather than as a number that looks current.
What this page cannot settle
- Permissionless with no liveness check anywhere in the contract, so stage 1 carries a ~98% noise floor. ALSO: legacy AgentNft 0x652BF29626356b7FaDc2B5205d4F81be9743da1c is a decoy — name()='Persona', totalSupply 0.
- Headline safety: Only as a two-stage figure. 'Launched vs graduated' is publishable and genuinely interesting; 'agents created' is not.
- The 19,180 launch figure came from research and was not independently re-read by us; the graduated figure was. Verify the launch counter directly before publishing either.
- Every method here is EVM-shaped. Solana is not covered by any measurement on this page.
