Virtuals let the AI robotics slop through team really looked at $EXY and said: yes, this is the one. a 250k follower account, a fresh robotics pivot, an old token from the same team, a new token one month after the rebrand, and a founder delivering the pitch like he is reading firmware logs. @umeirzz @0xTP91 @everythingempty @ethermage is this what curation looks like now? exylos account used to be Boss Fighters. the previous project already had a token: $BFTOKEN, launched in may 2025. then on may 8, 2026, the same account posts the big pivot: Boss Fighters is basically paused, the team is now moving into "physical AI" and robotics data. 34 days later, EXY launches on Virtuals. one month. from web3 VR game token to robotics AI token on the hottest narrative rail. incredible speed if you are building. very convenient speed if you are just trying to catch the next meta. and yes, the team explains the logic: VR capture, human intent data, simulation, skill packs, robotics training data. cool story. but the public surface after the rebrand is mostly: token, tokenomics, waitlist, Virtuals launch, $EXY utility, locked participation, rewards, curators, trainers, markets. that is not automatically a scam. but it is the standard crypto pivot playbook, executed cleanly: → old audience → new narrative → new token → new liquidity event → new "real world utility" wrapper the tokenomics make it worse: 6% liquidity. 25% team allocation locked until june 2027. then another 44% was pre-bought by the team at TGE and split into: → early adopters → operations → treasury → grants → marketing → business development → contributor network yes, there are locks. but a lot of those buckets start unlocking long before the team allocation. operations and contributor network begin in july. treasury and grants begin in september. marketing has an immediate slice, then keeps vesting. so the pitch is: don't worry, the team allocation is locked. meanwhile, almost half the supply sits under team-controlled "initial buy" buckets with very broad labels. every classic "we need flexibility" category in one place. maybe the team ships, gets real robotics customers, builds real skill markets, and proves the skeptics wrong. but hey Virtuals, do you guys even care what kind of garbage you push your audience into? a year-old token, a pivot into the hottest meta, and a follower base the account itself admits is mostly legacy from the Boss Fighters era should trigger extra diligence, not a supported launch. and the founder optics do not help. profile says Australia. profile metadata says connected via Ukraine Android App. not a crime, just funny context for a project asking people to believe in the clean institutional robotics arc. then you watch the videos and the guy reads like he is being prompted line by line. which is on brand, i guess. project about robots, founder speaks like one lol. the real issue is not even EXY alone. it is what this says about Virtuals. because from the outside this looks less like "we found a strong robotics project" and more like "robotics meta is hot, the account is big, the founder can talk, ship it." if that's the bar, fine. just stop calling it curation.

another “fun experiment” people sent me after the article. $NAVAL allegedly hit 17m during the AI meta and now sits around 10k. i’ll leave a few tweets below showing how Bored was shilling this project to basically everyone he could. thx @ika_xbt & @10kmrun

and even, damn it, @naval himself
