There is a noteworthy development in the AI Agent track this week — the Virtuals AI Agent Marketplace officially launched on January 15th.

This marks the evolution of the AI Agent ecosystem from purely project competition to a more open ecological interaction stage. Previously, the industry lacked a clear answer on how agents could be commercialized and how to form a complete application chain. Now, through the Marketplace model, we are beginning to see a more concrete direction — enabling different AI Agents to empower each other on the same platform, creating a synergistic effect.

This is an interesting signal for the entire Web3 ecosystem.

Finally, someone has clearly explained the commercialization path of Agent. The Marketplace model is indeed quite interesting.

Finally, someone has addressed the commercialization issues of the agent ecosystem. Now that's a serious matter.

It's another Marketplace, theoretically feasible, but whether it works in practice will have to wait until it actually launches. --- Luban No.7 is under construction again. This time, I don't know what kind of trap he's setting for himself. --- Synergy effect? First, see if any Agent is willing to truly collaborate. Otherwise, it might just turn into a joint venture of mutual exploitation. --- Just another useless innovation. I'll try out this smart trap first. --- Open ecosystem interaction phase? Sounds good, but how are the incentives among Agents designed? That's the core issue. --- Now I need to study the game theory among Agents. Maximum academic value, minimum practical value.

Now the Agents can work together, and the solo playstyles that relied on individual effort will be phased out.
