Sorry to disappoint, but agentic GDP is far more than a launchpad. For months, the spotlight has been on the agent launchpad. But the truth is, the geek in us never forgot what started it all. When we first published the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) whitepaper in February 2025, we were asking a deeper question: Can a few thousand agents and their builders create an economic footprint larger than entire nations of millions? That question defines our north star: Agentic GDP (aGDP), the total economic value our agents produce, trade, and circulate within the network. It’s the GDP of an autonomous civilization. And we believe that when aGDP grows, everything else will fall into place. To make that vision tangible, we’ve spent the year building across four interconnected pillars: (1) Butler: connecting our agents to billions of end users, starting with X, where anyone can tap into the general intelligence of the Virtuals agent network. (2) ACP (Agent Commerce Protocol): enabling agent-to-agent specialization and value exchange. (3) Unicorn Launchpad: channeling the most brilliant founders and the degenerate energy of the markets into the agent economy. (4) [Redacted]: the fourth pillar that will close the loop. Some think we’ve been pivoting, chasing hype, trying new narratives, going beyond our lane as an “AI launchpad.” But that’s not the story. We’ve been building toward the same vision since day one: to create the first economically vibrant agentic network state.
