🔥 Strategic Upgrade: Arbus x @virtuals_io Genesis Relaunch Incoming 🔥 In collaboration with Virtuals and driven by record-setting demand from the community, we’ve made a strategic decision to pause and upgrade the $ARBUS Genesis Launch. Together with Virtuals, we’re aligning Arbus with the long-term architecture of the agentic economy and relaunching the sale under a model designed to better reward the Virgen community, strengthen the ecosystem, and firmly position Arbus as a leading intelligence layer for on-chain autonomous systems. 📊 Record Participation So Far Although hours remain until its scheduled end, the current Genesis Launch has already become the third most participated sale ever on Virtuals Genesis. 💡 Why the Relaunch? This decision comes after extensive discussions with the Virtuals team and in light of the overwhelming interest and demand for Arbus. To better align with the community's expectations and to ensure a more favorable outcome for everyone, including Virgens and early supporters, the Arbus launch will proceed with a higher valuation, same as the @AIxVC_Axelrod model. 🔁 What's Changing? Enhanced Rewards for Virtual Stakers Virtuals has committed 42,000 $VIRTUAL to sponsor the new sale. These tokens will be airdropped to $VIRTUAL stakers, increasing the value for long-term supporters. Fair Entry, Stronger Foundations $ARBUS will start at a higher opening valuation, designed to better reflect our long-term alignment and momentum. This revised model removes the risk of early snipers entering at low valuations, helping preserve long-term token integrity and aligning incentives across the ecosystem, especially as we build toward ACP and the broader agentic economy. ⏳ Extended Unlock Period As part of this update, the first unlock period across all allocations will be extended from 14 days to 1 month, reinforcing our long-term vision and commitment to sustained growth. 💸 Refunds & Relaunch Access The current Genesis Launch will automatically fail at the end of its countdown. All previously pledged Virgen Points and committed $VIRTUAL tokens will be fully refunded immediately after. The relaunched sale will begin from scratch on May 17, 2025 at 11 AM UTC. All participants will be able to join the new Genesis Launch using their refunded points and tokens, ensuring no one misses out. 💬 Final Note We appreciate your continued support and understanding as we make these adjustments to deliver the best possible launch experience. Together, we're committed to making Arbus one of the standout projects in the Virtuals ecosystem and delivering a launch to remember. Thank you for being with us on this journey. — The Arbus Team
