ChainCatcher message, Virtuals Protocol announces an update to the value accumulation mechanism to better support builders of the Virtuals ecosystem. The post-bonding tax will be allocated as follows: 30% to agent creators, 20% to agent affiliates, and 50% to agent subDAOs for future governance decisions.Rewards for creators will be directly deposited into the agent deployer's wallet.
