Virtuals Protocol Announces New Fee Distribution Model, Allocating 40% Of SubDAO Revenue To Creator Wallets

AI agents library for entertainment and gaming, Virtuals Protocol introduced a new fee distribution model where 40% of the subDAO fees are now directly returned to creator wallets. This update removes thresholds and boost mechanics, focusing on a straightforward redistribution process that ensures value flows directly to the builders. 

For fees previously accumulated in the agents subDAO wallets, the protocol will return the funds to active developers. To receive these funds, developers must complete a form within seven days of submission. The project intends to either transfer the funds to the creator’s wallet or provide a clear explanation, along with actionable steps, if the funds cannot be sent.

The announcement follows a previous update in March regarding trading fees for all agent tokens, which was designed to accelerate the adoption of the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) and provide better rewards for agent creators. Under this structure, 70% of trading fees are directed to agent creator wallets, while 30% goes to the Agent Commerce Protocol. This model is currently live on both Base and Solana.

Regarding the redistribution of previously accrued fees in the agent subDAO wallets (50%), 40% will now be redistributed to agent creators, and 10% will be allocated to the ACP Reserve Vault. 

Previously, the mechanism for distributing the 40% to agent creators included a boost multiplier applied on top of regular trading fees, creating a threshold. This boost continues until the entire allocated 40% from the subDAO wallet has been fully distributed.​
