Velvet Unicorn by Virtuals VU

What VU actually is on-chain

Velvet Unicorn by Virtuals is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0x511ef9ad5e645e533d15df605b4628e3d0d0ff53. That address, not the ticker VU, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself VU, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Base, VU is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in VU itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker VU: Vu (Ethereum, 0x6f99…b087). The asset on this page is specifically the Base deployment at 0x511e…ff53. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For VU the project publishes an active account as @VU_virtuals. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where VU sits in the market

Velvet Unicorn by Virtuals ranks #4823, in the middle of the long tail, where listing status changes more often than price does, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live VU order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. VU is a Base asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

VU against its all-time high

Velvet Unicorn by Virtuals's record high is $0.0168, set on 2025-01-01. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set roughly 2 years ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live VU price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

VU across its historical range

VU has traded across a 123x range, between $0.0001367 and $0.0168. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.0001367 was printed on 2026-02-06 — about a year ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

VU supply and valuation data

At #4823 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for VU at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $198 thousand as of 2026-05-12. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset VU is

Velvet Unicorn by Virtuals is a meme asset. There is no cash flow, no fee capture and no fundamental anchor to value it against, which is a description rather than a criticism — it means the price is set entirely by attention and reflexive flow. In practice, volume moves first and price follows, so a volume spike is the leading signal for this class while an oscillator reading is a lagging one. Moves are larger, faster and mean-revert harder than in assets with a revenue story.

CoinGecko files VU under 4 categories, including Meme, Base Ecosystem, Virtuals Protocol Ecosystem, DeFAI. CoinGecko also records deployments on Base (1,487 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.
