Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Holoworld is a platform for creating, hosting and distributing AI agents — described by the company as an "agentic app store." Users can build intelligent virtual beings that talk, act and engage across platforms without coding, defining a character's persona, knowledge base, specialization and personality. The agents are positioned as intellectual property rather than simple reply bots: they interact autonomously through text, voice and avatars, can access live data, and handle tasks via a plugin ecosystem. Agents are verifiable on the Solana blockchain, which the company frames as enabling ownership, composability and a permissionless economy around agentic IP.

The product surface includes Ava Studio, a text-to-video creative studio in which AI agents build characters, script scenes and render video; HoloLaunch, a launchpad for AI-native IP that supports presales or fair launches with customizable royalties, rewards and economic design; and an AI livestreaming product that lets a virtual character stream continuously, listed as coming soon on the company site. A developer layer provides an Agent SDK and APIs (Studio API and Chat API) for creating agents, integrating agent interfaces into applications such as X chatbots, and deploying or hosting agents enriched with proprietary data sources and community-curated MCPs.

The project has an associated token, $HOLO, which can be staked and is documented in a whitepaper and a MiCA whitepaper. Third-party reference material attributes Holoworld to Hologram Labs and describes earlier core technologies including Hologram Mocap (real-time web-based motion capture producing ARKit-compatible blendshapes at 60 FPS), Holo3D (stable-diffusion-based 3D asset and mesh generation with an internal library of roughly 150,000 2D and 3D assets), HoloAnimate (a motion-transfer framework built on the Thin-Plate Spline Motion Model for animating 2D portraits with lip sync), and HoloGPT (a tuned character-response model).

Founding story

Reference material states Holoworld AI was founded in January 2024 by Tong Pow and Hongzi Mao, and that Hologram Labs, the company behind Holoworld, was established in 2021 by Tong Pow.

Business model

Holoworld operates a creator platform monetized through its product suite and an associated token economy. It offers self-serve creation tools (Ava Studio, Agent Market) alongside developer APIs distributed via API keys, and HoloLaunch, a launchpad through which creators raise funds for AI-native IP with configurable royalties, rewards and economic design. The $HOLO token can be staked, and the company publishes a whitepaper and MiCA whitepaper covering it.

The company site indicates weekly subscriptions for agents and API access via issued keys, together with launchpad economics on HoloLaunch where creators can configure royalties and rewards; a staking mechanism exists for the $HOLO token.

Traction

The company reports more than 1 million users, over 700,000 creations and more than 35 million interactions across the platform, plus over 700 subscriptions per week for featured agents and cited figures of 30x growth in daily active users and 200% user retention growth. Reference material states thousands of AI agents have been launched by creators, brands and gaming communities. The HOLO token had a market capitalization of roughly $48.9 million and a fully diluted valuation of about $131.4 million, trading across 33 exchanges, with Binance the most active venue.

Latest developments

Holoworld launched HoloLaunch on Robinhood Chain to drive AI agent creation, and HOLO saw increased trading activity and social interest on the Korean exchange Upbit. AI Livestreaming, a product enabling 24/7 streaming by virtual characters, is listed as coming soon.

Market position

Holoworld positions itself at the intersection of AI agents, creator tooling and web3 IP, categorized by market-data providers under artificial intelligence, AI agents, AI agent launchpad, AI framework and infrastructure within the Solana ecosystem. The company reports platform-wide figures of over 1 million users, more than 700,000 creations and over 35 million interactions.

Holoworld combines no-code agent creation with on-chain verification of each agent on Solana, framing agents as ownable, composable IP rather than chatbots, and bundles creation (Ava Studio), community fundraising (HoloLaunch), 24/7 AI livestreaming and developer APIs in a single platform.

Technology

Agents are created without coding and can interact via text, voice and avatars, access live data, and extend functionality through a plugin ecosystem and community-curated MCPs; each agent is verifiable on the Solana blockchain. Developer access is provided through an Agent SDK, a Studio API and a Chat API. Reference material describes underlying components developed by Hologram Labs: Hologram Mocap for real-time computer-vision motion capture on the web at 60 FPS with ARKit-compatible blendshapes; Holo3D, a stable-diffusion and ControlNet-based pipeline generating rigged 3D assets from text or images against an internal library of about 150,000 2D and 3D web3/NFT assets; HoloAnimate, a Thin-Plate Spline Motion Model framework for animating 2D portraits from video or audio with lip sync; and HoloGPT, a fine-tuned character response model. The HOLO token has contract deployments on Solana and BNB Chain.

Go-to-market

Self-serve web products with free entry points ("Start Creating", "Enter App") and developer onboarding through public documentation and API key issuance. Distribution is amplified by integrations with community platforms such as Discord and Telegram for round-the-clock agent engagement, by brand and IP partnerships, and by a token-linked community layer including staking, airdrop programs and exchange listings.

Creators, content creators, brands, gaming and online communities, 3D artists, AI developers and AI researchers, particularly those active in web3. Named ecosystem participants and customers include Aww Inc, Pudgy Penguins, NYX Professional Makeup, Solana, and — via Hologram Labs — Arbitrum, BNB Chain, L'Oréal, Bilibili, Milady Makers, Anata NFT, Deadfellaz, Cool Cats and Nifty Island.
