AI agent platform Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUALS) plans to expand to the Solana blockchain to drive innovation across multiple ecosystems. This announcement received much support as industry participants thought the move would have a greater impact than expected. Nuffle Labs co-founder Altan Tutar thinks it is a “smart move.” Commenting on the news, WolvesDAO founder Sam Steffanina explicitly noted that the integration is “bigger than most realize.” Furthermore, Steffanina spoke about the multichain and 2025, describing the former as the future and the latter as the year of cross-chain expansion. Virtuals Protocol to Utilize Base And Solana Currently, Virtuals Protocol is on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 network. Its integration with Solana could bring more ecosystem participation and attract developers and users from the network. Judging by Solana’s precedence, it has the potential to increase scalability while easing network congestion. “Solana, known for its speed, scalability, and vibrant community, is the perfect place for us to grow and bring our vision to life,” Virtuals Protocol wrote in its January 25 X post. Features of Virtuals Protocol’s Integration With Solana Virtuals Protocol’s integration with the Solana ecosystem will include a few new features, including a Strategic Solana reserve. For this reason, 1% of trading fees will be converted to SOL to build a reserve to “support and reward agents” and creators, all within the ecosystem. The AI agent platform intends to launch a Meteora pool. The goal is to improve liquidity and an expanded grants program that will support early-stage Solana builders. SOL Price Skyrocket With TRUMP Meanwhile, the Solana blockchain has been receiving a lot of attention recently. Within the last three days leading up to the inauguration of Donald Trump, his family launched Official Trump (TRUMP) on the Solana ecosystem. This move immediately led to a frenzy in the crypto space, especially as SOL prices skyrocketed. The overwhelming enthusiasm surrounding the TRUMP token propelled SOL . SOL reached new highs and did many other Solana-based large-cap tokens. The price hit over $275, and trading volumes surged from $3 billion to over $26 billion in just one day. The integration of Virtuals Protocol with the network may bring more price rally. The post Virtuals Protocol Plans Expansion to Solana Ecosystem appeared first on TheCoinrise.com .
