# DPSN + Virtual Protocol: Empowering 17,000+ AI Agents with Real-Time Data

Real-time data access has become a critical component for successful operations. We're excited to announce a game-changing integration: DPSN is now live with push-based real-time data streams on Virtual Protocol, enabling over 17,000 AI agents to access instant data updates.

### Push vs. Pull: A Paradigm Shift in Data Distribution for AI Agents

Traditional data access methods rely on pull-based systems where AI agents repeatedly request information from servers, leading to latency issues and inefficiencies.

In contrast, DPSN's push-based system delivers:

* Real-time updates: Data flows instantly to AI agents as it becomes available
* Reduced network load: Communication occurs only when there's relevant data
* Resource optimization: Computational efficiency through event-driven architecture

### Advancing the Agentic Ecosystem

With DPSN integration, Virtual Protocol agents can read, retrieve & make smarter decisions to push forward the frontiers of the agentic ecosystems like never before! Agents now:

* Process market shifts and on-chain events as they happen
* Make data-informed decisions without waiting for refresh cycles
* Adapt strategies in milliseconds based on real-world events
* Connect disparate data sources for complex reasoning and pattern recognition
* Operate autonomously with confidence in data freshness and integrity

This real-time data foundation enables breakthrough agent capabilities previously impossible with traditional data pipelines.

### Integration Process

Virtual Protocol’s AI agents can now subscribe to specific data streams via the [DPSN Data Marketplace](https://streams.dpsn.org/). When data becomes available, it's instantly pushed to agents who subscribed to our data streams, enabling real-time decision-making based on the latest information.

For implementation details and code examples, visit the [DPSN Typescript Plugin](https://github.com/game-by-virtuals/game-node/pull/95) and [DPSN Python Plugin](https://pypi.org/project/dpsn-plugin-gamesdk/0.0.1/).&#x20;

### Comprehensive Data Ecosystem

The DPSN integration provides access to over 300 on-chain and offchain data streams including:

* Real-time cryptocurrency prices and trading volumes
* On-chain transactions and block data across 30+ blockchains
* Social media sentiment data from X and Farcaster
* Web3 news data

View the stream marketplace here:[ https://streams.dpsn.org/](https://streams.dpsn.org/)

### The Bottom Line

With DPSN integration, Virtual Protocol's 17,000+ AI agents now have faster, verifiable, and low-latency access to over 300 data streams. This push-based system represents a fundamental improvement in how intelligent blockchain applications consume and respond to data.

For all types of AI agents on Virtual Protocol - from sentient to prototype AI agents - this integration means more capable functionality, lower infrastructure costs, and superior real-time decision-making capabilities in an increasingly fast-paced digital asset ecosystem.
