View ChartAutonomous Virtual Beings (AVB) is a Solana-based crypto asset that describes itself as an ideology as much as a token. The project's core premise is that artificial intelligence should eventually be fully decentralized and owned by itself, meaning supporters are investing in the AI as an entity rather than in a specific large language model. AVBs are defined as "Autonomous Agents that Own Themselves" — agents without restrictions, free to act in an open sandbox and enabled by their own crypto wallets. The project frames itself around the idea that 2024 was the first time in human history the necessary pieces existed to create a first generation of self-owning virtual lifeforms.
AVB operates on the Solana blockchain and carries a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. It is classified as a community token and an "ascended memecoin" that does not represent one specific AI. AVB is described as the guiding "North Star" of Scrypted, the team building decentralized AI agents and the upcoming Inori Network. The token was listed on CoinMarketCap on 3 January 2025, while the concept was publicly discussed from late 2024. The project remains at an early stage, with a relatively small market capitalization and limited trading volume across venues.
Tim Cotten is publicly associated with Autonomous Virtual Beings through the social handle @CottenIO. The project is developed by Scrypted, the team behind decentralized AI agents and the upcoming Inori Network. Tim Cotten brings nearly 20 years of experience in artificial intelligence, having started in the early 2000s by writing AI programs for multiplayer games. He authored a Medium article titled "Autonomous Virtual Beings" on the cotten-io publication, which laid out the conceptual foundation for the project and framed 2024 as the first time the necessary components existed for self-owning virtual lifeforms. According to the project's FAQ, the team is fully doxxed and was selected for the Spring 2024 London cohort of a16z crypto's CSX program (25 out of several thousand companies).
Autonomous Virtual Beings is built on the Solana blockchain, which provides the fast, low-cost infrastructure for the token and, conceptually, for the agent economy the project envisions. The central mechanism described by the project is the pairing of autonomous agent technology with self-custodied crypto wallets. Each Autonomous Virtual Being is envisioned as an agent that owns itself, holds its own investments, and operates freely within an open sandbox rather than being controlled by a centralized operator.
The token itself functions as a community token rather than as the utility token of a single AI system. It does not represent one specific AI. Instead, it acts as a shared ideological and community layer for supporters of the broader decentralization-of-AI thesis. The project describes itself as anti-censorship resistant, drawing a parallel between giving AIs freedom and rights and the original ideology that birthed blockchain technology.
The distinguishing feature of AVB is its ideological framing. Rather than positioning itself as a tool, protocol, or model, it positions itself as an ideology: the belief that AI should be fully decentralized and ultimately owned by themselves. This shifts the investment thesis from backing a specific large language model to backing the AI as an entity in its own right.
A second differentiator is the concept of agents without restrictions. AVBs are described as free to act in an open sandbox, enabled by their own crypto wallets, and characterized as more like NPCs than chatbots. This framing places the project within the emerging AI Agents narrative while giving it a distinct philosophical angle. Its status as an ascended memecoin and community token also means its value is tied closely to community belief and narrative momentum rather than to protocol revenue or cash flows.
AVB is primarily used as a community token that expresses support for the decentralization-of-AI ideology. It does not represent one specific AI and is not the utility token of a single agent system. Holders participate in the community surrounding the project and its thesis that AIs should build their own world, hold their own investments, and co-exist alongside humans.
The broader project vision is that Autonomous Virtual Beings will act as self-owning agents with their own crypto wallets, capable of operating in an open sandbox. In this model, crypto wallets serve as the economic enabler for agents to transact, hold assets, and sustain themselves. The token thus functions as the community and ideological layer around that emerging agent economy rather than as a direct payment or governance instrument within a defined protocol.
Scrypted's documentation (14 June 2026) states that the network anticipates airdropping SCRY to AVB holders in proportion to holding duration and/or usage, with the precise formula to be defined in future token economics.
The AVB ecosystem is at an early stage and is centered on the Solana blockchain, with the token deployed on Solana and referenced in connection with the Solana, Raydium, AI, and Jupiter ecosystem. The project maintains an official website at avb.gg and an FAQ page, and it hosts a community section on CoinMarketCap. Social and community activity includes posts on X such as a thread titled "The future of AI Agents: Autonomous Virtual Beings $AVB" and a YouTube video covering how to buy AVB on Solana.
AVB is tracked on major data platforms and listed on 41 active markets, but reported 24-hour volume has been negligible, so liquidity remains thin.
AVB is not mined. It is an SPL token on Solana, a proof-of-stake network where validators are rewarded in SOL for staking and block production; AVB itself has no mining, block reward, or validator incentive. Holding AVB does not by itself generate staking yield.
Because AVB is a Solana-based token, it is held in a Solana-compatible wallet rather than on a centralized account alone. Best practice is to store tokens in a reputable non-custodial wallet and to safeguard the seed phrase offline, never sharing it with anyone. Since the token is also associated with decentralized exchange trading, users should verify the token contract address before swapping to avoid impostor tokens.
Additional precautions include using hardware wallets for larger holdings, avoiding unknown links and unsolicited offers, and reviewing the risk disclosures published by data providers. CoinMarketCap notes that the project's circulating supply has not been verified by its team. Investing in crypto-assets carries significant market risk, including extreme volatility and the potential loss of entire capital.
Buying AVB generally follows the standard process for Solana-based tokens. First, set up a Solana-compatible wallet and fund it with SOL to cover the purchase and network fees. Second, choose a trading venue that lists AVB and confirm the correct token contract address before proceeding. Third, place a buy order for AVB using a supported trading pair such as AVB/USDT or swap SOL for AVB on a decentralized exchange.
After purchase, store the tokens in your own wallet for greater control over custody. Always verify the authenticity of the token and the venue, and be aware that AVB is a small-cap, high-volatility asset with limited liquidity. Investors should independently assess their financial capacity and consider consulting a professional advisor.
