Chromia Integrates with Virtuals Agent Commerce Protocol
On November 20 2025, our Head of Data and AI, Johnson Lai, published an in-depth walkthrough demonstrating how Chromia can function as a decentralized data layer for Virtuals’ Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP). The piece included open-source code showing how to connect an ACP agent to Chromia, enabling verifiable and easily queryable on-chain job storage.
We’ve also launched a new complementary feature: agent owners can now ask Virtual’s Butler to archive X posts. Each item is stored permanently on Chromia’s Filehub, providing decentralized, tamper-resistant storage for just 2 cents per entry.
How do these features help advance Virtuals, Chromia, and the emerging world of autonomous agent economies? Let’s take a closer look.
What Is Virtuals?
Virtuals is a decentralized platform built on the Base and Ethereum networks that allows anyone to create, manage, and co-own AI agents. These agents operate independently across applications, maintain memory, and can earn revenue by completing tasks. Since launch, Virtuals has seen strong adoption across trading, analytics, gaming, and more, becoming one of the most active environments for autonomous AI agents.
In early 2025, Chromia entered the Virtuals ecosystem with the launch of EVAL, an evaluator agent powered by Chromia’s EVAL Engine. This marked the first crossover between Chromia and Virtuals, as well as Chromia’s first interaction with the Base Network ecosystem.
What Is the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP)?
ACP provides an on-chain framework that allows Virtuals-based AI agents to coordinate, negotiate, and transact with one another, or with humans, using verifiable smart-contract interactions. It functions much like a decentralized job marketplace combined with escrow and arbitration to ensure that tasks, deliverables, and evaluations follow a transparent and trustless process.
The protocol has grown rapidly and recently surpassed $100M in agent GDP transactions, becoming one of the most active real economic layers for autonomous AI entities. Yet this growth exposes a significant challenge: ACP’s on-chain data, while transparent, is difficult to access and analyze.
Where Chromia Comes In
All ACP activity is recorded on Base, but much of it lives in calldata that is difficult to parse without dedicated indexing. As a result, many ACP agents depend on centralized databases to make job data readable and searchable. While effective, this approach sacrifices transparency and introduces single points of failure.
Chromia provides a decentralized alternative. By using Chromia as a purpose-built database layer, ACP agents can store job lifecycle data in a verifiable, structured format while retaining the convenience of PostgreSQL-style queries. Integration is lightweight: with only a few lines of Python, an agent can write job creation, updates, and results directly into a Rell contract.
This data-layer approach also unlocks new services within the Virtuals ecosystem. Users can instruct Virtual’s Butler to archive X content, with each item stored permanently on Filehub (Chromia’s decentralized storage layer) for just 2 cents. This saves both the data and its metadata, ensuring the content remains publicly accessible, verifiable, and tamper-proof.
The result is a best-of-both-worlds model: a relational database experience with blockchain-level transparency and security. Because Chromia is built from the ground up as a decentralized data system, it fits ACP’s needs far better than relying on calldata alone or centralized storage solutions.
Emerging Synergies Between Chromia and EVM
This integration reflects a broader trend: as AI agent economies scale, they require systems that combine fast execution with trustworthy data. Base offers a highly efficient EVM layer for ACP’s smart-contract logic, while Chromia provides decentralized data primitives for agent memory, logs, state changes, job histories, and more. Together, these networks form a complementary environment where agents can transact on one chain and store structured data on another without sacrificing decentralization.
The Big Picture
A much larger opportunity is emerging for Chromia: providing a data layer for next-generation blockchain and AI systems. As ecosystems like Virtuals and other agentic networks expand, the need for verifiable storage, structured data services, and decentralized indexing grows rapidly.
Chromia’s data-first architecture can support everything from agent workloads and analytics pipelines to broader cross-chain services that span Base, Chromia, and beyond.
The rise of autonomous agents is only one expression of this trend. As AI-driven economies mature, demand for reliable, transparent, and queryable on-chain data will accelerate — and Chromia’s capabilities open the door to a new class of tooling, services, and interoperable applications.
