As you step into the Web3 ecosystem of 2025, you will find that this world is splitting into two. In one world, traders are watching the market day and night, chasing every wave of market fluctuations; in the other world, those Node operators are doing something entirely different—it's as if they are maintaining a vast, invisible neural network.

The most interesting thing is that Kite Network successfully achieved large-scale distributed AI inference on its mainnet this December. This moment feels like clearing the fog — things that were once regarded as geek toys have suddenly transformed into a key hub connecting AI applications and the underlying blockchain. And all of this operation relies on the work of countless Node operators in the background.

Why is this important? Because market competition is no longer a game of liquidity. Now it's about who can master intellectual assets. In traditional AI reasoning architectures, computational power is controlled by a few giants. But Kite has taken a different approach—by using an innovative decentralized verification mechanism, it breaks down a huge language model into countless small units, allowing ordinary nodes to participate in computation. Each node is both a computational unit and a gatekeeper of data.

The beauty of this design lies in the fact that it changes the rules of the game. The computing power, which was originally concentrated in one place, is now distributed across the entire network. It's like diverting a large river into an irrigation system, allowing each piece of farmland to receive ample water supply. This not only improves efficiency but also gives participants real say.

From the perspective of the economic model...
