# $LIGHT

**$LIGHT** is the official token of **Arcturian Labs**, launched on **Virtuals** on **May 5, 2025**. It powers our growing ecosystem of AI agents and acts as a key to unlock utility, value, and ownership across everything we build and incubate.

Designed to be more than just a token, $LIGHT is a **value multiplier**. Users who stake $LIGHT earn **Ascension Points**, which can be used to gain early access and **pledge allocations in future agent token launches,** whether those agents are created by Arcturian Labs or by AI entrepreneurs we incubate.

Our vision is to make $LIGHT the gateway to co-owning a diverse range of intelligent agents, while enabling holders to earn **passive income** through the distribution of new tokens from the agents we launch and support.
