Even relationships can be faced by by agents. Right? One of the biggest, questions I've been posing to some of my friends was like, could there be even a scenario in a world where an entire males or females, right, they are actually replaced by by robots? Could humans still survive in that era? Right?

Hello. Pleasure to be here.
Yeah. I'm really excited to chat with you. And part of it is because this is just a crazy time in the world of AI agents, so it's actually great that we're talking now. Today, Virtuals has an announcement that it is launching Eastworld Labs, an AI accelerator, to foster the deployment of humanoid robots and to create a hybrid society of robots, virtual agents, and humans. Tell us about Eastworld Labs.
Yeah. So I think for us at Virtuous, the we've always believed that AI agents are going to be fully autonomous economic actives, and that has been the grounding principle in whatever we've we've done. Across the year and a half or two years, we've built a few things. Right? We've built one the one that we're probably most famous for is the capital formation layer for these autonomous agents. We will call it a launch pad, gives agents transaction fees whenever their token gets traded. That's one. The second one that we then went live half a year ago was about building a Stripe or an agentic com
And it will it be like other accelerators that, you know, have different cohorts at different times, different seasons? So there will be, you know, applications, and then you'll run the program for, you know, I don't know how long each one will be. So there will be, like, classes.
We run a very unique mechanism. So it's going to be there's two ways to get into this residency, quote unquote. So the first is we tied it very closely to the asset issuance platform that we have. So the idea here is that if you're a founder and you're keen to experiment robotics, most people will start off with an idea, white paper, a pitch. Right? Do the same thing, and what we encourage people to do is then launch a token around it. So if you can because what we believe is that when projects tokenize, the markets become a very strong indicative factor on how well they will receive your idea
Okay. And do these teams get together, like, in a physical location to work together?
