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 pullback 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 creators rewards 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 agency partners, they receive a 20% post-bonding transaction tax on the deals they facilitate – funds that 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 with 1.616 million VIRTUAL (about US$4.736 million), CONVO with 1.107 million VIRTUAL (about US$3.243 million), and AIXBT with 882,000 VIRTUAL (about US$584,000).
Not only that, Virtuals Protocol has also recently reached cooperation with projects such as Animoca Brands, Saga and Illuvium.

For example, arc has reached a cooperation with EternalAI. Through the latters decentralized reasoning layer and rigs Rust-based framework, developers can seamlessly deploy open source models such as Llama 3.1 and flux on multiple blockchains to ensure that everyone has access to censorship-resistant and tamper-proof intelligence; arc is integrated with Shuttles Rust-native backend and cloud infrastructure to support developers to seamlessly build and expand the next generation of AI applications; arc cooperates with Arbitrum and Abstract to introduce EVM compatibility for the Rust-based AI agent framework Rig; arc integrates MongoDB to provide developers with production-grade database storage, search and management of vector embeddings, thereby unlocking powerful retrieval-enhanced AI for real-world applications; arc joins hands with SendAI to attract more Solana and Rust developers.
Hey Anon
Hey Anon is the most recommended project by AIXBT recently, and it has not been affected by the market sentiment of the correction, but has accelerated its rise. GMGN data shows that Anon has risen by nearly 116.7% from its recent low point, and its current market value is nearly US$290 million, a record high.

Compared with the current framework version, the changes in v2 include a fully autonomous, unified wallet abstraction layer, a plug-in registry, easy setup and installation of new features, event-driven/easy access, modularity and common types. The team will merge it into the main version library after perfecting the details and start migrating all clients and plug-ins. In terms of ecological expansion, Eliza has reached cooperation with many projects such as Unitree, Saga, EigenLayer, IoTeX, and integrated networks such as Arbitrum, Hyperliquid and Lens.
