- iDEGEN may be just getting started: its presale has already exceeded $18 million.
- Virtuals Protocol announced plans to expand to the Solana blockchain.
- AI agents are gaining popularity — is iDEGEN ready to take a leadership position?
The AI agent project iDEGEN continues to draw attention, with its presale raising more than $18 million. Token sales are gaining momentum as enthusiasm in the crypto space climbs and positive developments in the U.S. fuel bullish expectations.
Buoyed by these trends, Virtuals Protocol — an AI agent platform built on Base — has announced plans to expand onto Solana. On January 25, the Virtuals team revealed its intention to grow into the Solana ecosystem and introduced a plan to establish a strategic SOL reserve.
AI agents are growing — pay attention to iDEGEN
In recent weeks, TikTok has faced headwinds in the U.S. market while RedNote continues to build traction. The next three months will be critical for TikTok’s standing in the United States.
Meanwhile, iDEGEN — which has already attracted controversy after being blocked on X — is receiving significant support on RedNote.
This crypto-native AI agent is shaped by a community of degens, which may explain why it reportedly posted contentious statements on X. Because degens train iDEGEN and the project challenges established approaches to AI agents, the IDGN presale has gathered increased interest. Demand has been rising alongside enthusiasm for other AI agent platforms such as Virtuals Protocol, ai16z, and aixbt.

Virtuals expands to Solana
Virtuals Protocol, an AI agent platform initially built on Base, will establish a presence on Solana.
The team aims to empower developers and innovators working on crypto-native AI. To realize these ambitions, Virtuals plans to leverage Solana’s speed, scalability, and active community.
Expansion plans include launching a Meteora Pool on Solana to create new opportunities for AI agents and community members. Virtuals will also create a strategic SOL reserve: 1% of trading fees will be converted into SOL. This reserve will be used to build reward systems for agents and creators.
iDEGEN presale tops $18 million
IDGN is the native AI token of the iDEGEN ecosystem, a self-governing crypto platform powered by artificial intelligence. Ahead of its public launch, the project has already hit several milestones.
Since releasing a text-based version in late November, iDEGEN has added image-generation features and launched an interactive Telegram bot. Upcoming development phases include AI-generated video, on-chain data integration, and strategic partnerships.
IDGN is scheduled to list on exchanges on February 27, 2025 — a milestone that could mark the start of broader adoption. Investors are likely to watch developments in the AI sector closely, especially amid high-profile calls for substantial AI infrastructure investment.
The presale has raised more than $18 million and over 1.5 billion IDGN tokens have already been sold, making this a noteworthy opportunity for prospective buyers.
