If you’re building an agent, this is the first and most important choice.
Frameworks decide how fast you can ship and how your agent is secured and monetized. The big split is open-source toolkit (you run it) vs launchpad (it tokenizes and distributes for you) vs multi-agent network (robust, always-on services).
The open-source default — character files + plugins, chain-agnostic, huge community.
The launchpad path — tokenize and distribute an agent with built-in liquidity.
For robust, always-on services that need multi-agent fault tolerance.
Build-it-yourself: ElizaOS. Tokenize + distribute: Virtuals. Always-on robust services: Autonolas.
