$KLED
Yes, many are correct that the chart is too wrecked to bid on right now. I would probably think the same if I didn't understand this project.
However, I'll be looking to buy more on any dips that come. I believe it will eventually trade above its ATH.
Fully agreed with @AltcoinSherpa thesis and I'm pretty sure $KLED will be one of those, and everyone will realize in a hindsight.
Chart: 1 year of accumulation, holding its base through months of pain while the actual business kept shipping.
Narrative: Robotics is the next major narrative after general AI. No one can deny the potential, and one of the biggest bottlenecks right now is consented human data for AI training.
Real Project: This is not your typical AI slop project. It’s backed by Sebastian Thrun (Waymo), Arnault’s Aglaé, K5 Global, a16z/Bain scouts + others. The app is live on the App Store, with 500–600K users, millions of daily uploads, a $12M data deal already secured, and onchain buybacks.
Still Uncrowded: Mindshare is still very low. Go check the volume. People got burned by last year’s AI projects and are now overlooking one of the only project that has continued executing.
Mark my words, $KLED is one of the most asymmetric opportunities in crypto, and I believe it will become one of the defining stories to emerge from crypto as the robotics era unfolds.
There are coins out there that are the next VVV, PENGU 2025, INJ 2023, ZEC 2025, and many other previous outperformers. These coins are going to be the leaders in the coming months and they're sitting there now (relatively) unpumped.
A few things these all had in common:
-Beaten down charts. These coins were all murdered hugely over months (or longer)
-Relevant narrative OR huge $ behind it. VVV and ZEC benefited from a relevant narrative (privacy and AI). Huge $ behind it would be PENGU or INJ, where JUMP pumped it to the heavens.
-Narrative based on belief, not fundamentals. What do I mean by this? I mean that you can't accurately price these coins and it's why you rarely see DeFi coins be extreme leaders (at least since 2021). When you start talking about ARR and clear things that can be calculated, there's a limit to how strongly they can pump. Contrast that with a coin like ZEC, where it's more of a belief system than anything, and you have no comparison. In many ways, these are memes.
-Uncrowded. These coins weren't really on anyone's radar weeks or months before they started pumping and nobody really talks about them until coins start to move. This is obviously extremely common in crypto in general; where attention = more volume = more liquidity = self fulfilling prophecy. If you had said 'privacy' as a narrative in 2024, people would have likely laughed at you. Not the case now.
------------------------
Actually executing a trade like this is actually quite difficult and I don't think many have the execution ability to do so. Just like any great trade, you need to:
-Have excellent research / good reasons why people will actually see the same idea as you
-Size appropriately so that you can capture huge gains while also not being shaken out with short term volatility
-Have the patience to actually hold your idea and not chase momentum in other coins
All in all, a tough task but certainly possible with the right amount of luck, research, and execution. I'm personally better at just buying momentum but I think that these types of trades are often the most gratifying.

The constraint on AI isn't compute. It's high-signal data that hasn't already been scraped.
Phase 1: the data application layer. 600,000+ contributors and counting.
Phase 2: our own models, trained on our data alone, tested against closed SOTA on complex human tasks. That's where we are now. The data moat is real. The benchmarks show it.
We're hiring Research Scientists to scale the training runs, evals, and model architectures.

Introducing Kled Labs.
Every major AI model learned from the internet. We're betting on people instead.
One goal: train our own models to beat closed models at important human tasks, using our data alone.
All data is sourced from our data application layer and our network of 600,000+ contributors.
We're hiring: jobs.ashbyhq.com/kled-ai/6e9…
Many still don’t realize it: data is becoming one of the biggest bottlenecks for both next-generation LLMs and humanoid robotics.
For LLMs, the highest-quality publicly available data has largely been exhausted. The next frontier is proprietary, real-world, and multimodal data, which is why AI labs are increasingly looking beyond the internet, including physical archives and books.
For humanoid robotics, the bottleneck is even more obvious. Training robots requires massive amounts of high-quality real-world interaction data: vision, movement, manipulation, environments, and human behavior.
And in the middle of this growing data race, @useKled is positioned directly at the frontier.
A 600,000-user network is not just a number. This incentivized network of users will become a powerful decentralized data collection and human-in-the-loop network.
Yet many people still don’t believe in @avipat_ and $KLED not necessarily because the thesis is broken, but because almost every AI project has burned them before in this space.
That will change.
My thesis remains intact:
«Data will be one of the biggest bottlenecks for next-generation AI and robotics. The winners will be the companies that build the largest, most efficient, and best-incentivized networks for sourcing proprietary real-world data.»
And eventually, I believe the companies controlling these data networks will become strategic acquisition targets for major AI or robotics labs, at multi-billion-dollar valuations.
The thesis remains intact. $KLED is still one of my strongest bets on the data bottleneck. Crypto worlds biggest story.
Replying to @useKled
We had the opportunity to do this over six months ago and deliberately chose to wait until our application layer was ready.
Kled V3 is out, and we can now support any modality: voice, video, image, text, annotation and more.
We strongly believe several of the top models will lose to us in important human categories, purely because of our data edge.

. @Grayscale is looking at $KLED 👀
Kled AI is extremely overlooked: AI data collection platform on the DATA Network reporting 1.5B+ uploads, 5M+ per day and millions in revenue.
@useKled pays people for photos, videos and targeted tasks, supplying AI labs with real-world training data, including household footage for physical AI.
Just check the valuations. $KLED will eventually gonna break ATH.
data selling is the hottest business on the internet right now.
• MicroAGI: $100M ARR (6 months)
• Mercor: $2B run rate (from $1M in ~24 months)
• Surge AI: $1.4B run rate
• Handshake AI: $1.1B run rate (16 months)
• Scale AI: ~$2B run rate
Labs have infinite GPUs, but zero proprietary data left to scrape.

Labs need data. Public stuff is getting harder to pull, that’s Grass.
The other data is human.
Photos, video, tasks from real people who said yes. Kled has 600k of them earning right now.
Company raised at $280M. solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm is $11M.
one thing i find interesting about Grass is the growing importance of data infrastructure as AI scales
AI labs need massive amounts of data, but accessing public web data is becoming increasingly difficult
Grass uses a distributed network of internet connections to help collect that data and make it available to AI companies
i believe access to high-quality data will become an increasingly important competitive advantage in AI, which makes this an interesting area to follow
Check this out to know the real value of $KLED.

With Grass re-rating to ~$510M on disclosed AI data revenue, solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm is an obvious next look.
While Grass scrapes the public web, Kled pays people source data that can't be scraped. Labs pay significantly more for consented inventory per file, and integration with the Data Network shows ~261M records posted.
Token is ~$13.5M with nearly the full float out. The company bought back ~4.3% of supply in 2026. Value accrual remains undefined.
Good read on $KLED, maping the token’s value proposition directly to company valuation with clear bear / base / bull cases.
Here’s my bear, base, and bull case for @useKled’s token valuation. solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm
The last fundraising round valued the company at ~$300m. With what will ultimately become, likely, 10% of the company’s equity held in an SPV by @StreetFDN , I’m going to use that valuation/ratio as a starting point.
solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm will also be used within the application as an incentivization mechanism, which should create buying and burning of the token, along with the potential for other revenue-driven buybacks. Taking those forces together, I’m assigning solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm a 12.5% ratio to the company’s valuation.
That doesn’t account for the potential premium the token could eventually receive because of its lindy-ness within the Solana ecosystem as the company that ‘made it’, or because the market begins valuing the token based on the company’s future private-market valuations.
Bear Case… $125m
The last round was approximately $300M, and that finalized before Kled had 500,000 users.
We don’t know the exact number of users today, but I’d imagine they’re approaching 700–800K. And they’ve done that while being essentially radio silent on socials & no paid marketing.
If @avipat_ can leverage the rest of Q3 and Q4 to drive significant new user growth with the newest version of the Kled app, while also going on the road and talking to AI labs about financing the various data-collection tasks they need completed, I think Kled, the company, could reasonably reach a $1B valuation (3x from last round) within the next 30–45 days if everything goes smoothly.
Using my 12.5% framework, a $1B company valuation would imply a $125M Kled token market cap.
Base Case… $500m
My base case is a $500M kled token market cap, which would imply a company valuation of a little over $4B under the same framework.
For that to happen, kled would probably need to acquire 1m+ users, land low-nine-figure fundraising/deal volume from AI labs and demonstrate genuine product-market fit, specifically, that these labs have a strong desire to acquire private data at scale and are willing to deploy significant capital to do it.
If kled gets there and the company reaches the $4–5B range, I think the token could begin trading at a premium to the simple 12.5% framework.
That puts solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm somewhere in the $400–500M+ market-cap range, which I don’t think is unreasonable when you consider what the onchain market has historically been willing to assign to complete scam tokenized AI projects.
Bull Case… $2.5 bn
The bull case is that Kled becomes a $10B+ company over the next year or two, pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars of capital from AI labs to build one of the largest private-data collection businesses in the world.
The app explodes on the App Store. Kled becomes the Uber of private data.
And at that point, I think holding the Kled token could become a cultural phenomenon, almost memetically, because it would represent one of the first opportunities for regular people to get exposure to a highly viral mobile app and its ecosystem before the company ever goes public.
In that scenario, I could see the solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm token reaching a $1–4B market cap.
And even at those valuations, it still wouldn’t be beyond the historical peaks we’ve seen from various meme coins.
The sky is truly the limit here.
Honestly, I think these valuation targets are relatively conservative when you compare them with what other crypto projects have achieved over the last decade.
But regardless of whether you agree with my specific numbers, I think this provides a useful valuation barometer for thinking about Kled:
$1B company → ~$125M token
$4–5B company → ~$500M token
$10B+ company → $1–4B token, depending on the premium
Curious what you guys think.
$KLED V3 is seriously impressive. Go experience the update yourself.
The UI is one of the cleanest, most intuitive and premium experiences I’ve seen in this space. Once users get used to this level of UX, retention and network effects can compound naturally.
But the bigger thesis is the data network.
As the network scales, $KLED has the potential to become a high velocity, compliant data layer for AI labs, enabling them to access diverse, real world data on demand without compromising on speed or compliance.
That’s why I keep saying it:
$KLED is one of the most asymmetric opportunity.
Seeing Kled V3 in my appstore and damn they took the app to a whole new level.
So many ways to earn by contributing all sorts of data and content.
Optimally positioned for AI data frenzy that is heating up, I can think of a couple of labs that will pay top dollar for unique content other labs can't access.
The ticker is solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm - I expect a fast repricing to at least the 9 figure club.
Well done to @avipat_ @kledsuki and the rest of the @useKled team
The Data Robotics narrative is about to hit like CRACK.
$KLED about to reach escape velocity sooner then later.
> Speculative narratives are slowing down
> Onchain AI narratives are heating up
> Narratives like Inference, Data, Robotics and more are on the verge of new catalysts

Y'all have to understand that solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm is the most assymetric opportunity available at the moment.
Same companies doing much less is at billion"s" dollar valuation.
Higher.
You all have to understand that $KLED is the most assymetric opportunity available.
Same companies doing much less is at billion"s" dollar valuation. It will reprice so high.

To those who hold solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm , remember this:
At 30M, people will say, it's time to sell
At 50M, people will say, it's topping
At 100M, people will say, they should've held longer
At 300M, people will say, they've found another better competitor
At 500M, those who sold, are hating on it and FUD starts
At 1B the few who held, would be bull-posting daily
At 3B the entire world would be buying and shouting about it every day
Unless, AI dies tomorrow. Unless data becomes worthless tomorrow; Kled is in the process to mint the next generation of crypto-AI millionaires, and timeline wise, it might not be that far away. It's within grasp.
WARNING: It's not going to be easy to hold a coin through its peaks and troughs. Only conviction will get you to Valhalla.
But a stark (and constant) reminder is that your conviction is nothing compared to VCs who have committed over $14M to grow the business. Your conviction is nothing compared to the clients who had committed tens of millions of dollars worth of deal contracts to Kledco.
FACT: Data will eat the world. But Kled will feed the world. Think Axie, Think future jobs, and Think about holding for longer.
But you can sell here.
You asked for floor value? Kled's currently backed: nearly 1-1 equity-token marketcap.
You asked for confidence? Well, if the company is sold tomorrow, you'd still get your money back.
We can only say it'll go higher from here. Tons of users, flywheels being activated. By comparison, Axie MC - Sky Mavis Valuation was worth 15:1 ratio at its peak.
Kledco also holds a significant portion of the 1b total tokens (bought back using their revenues). So everything is aligned. It's in their interest to have the tokens worth something.
But you can sell here. It's okay. Not everyone deserves nice things. To us, it's a Tier-1 project. But you can make your own decision, Anon.
Another validation for data companies.
4 billion dollar valuation.
$KLED is so so much undervalued you can't even understand that.
All time high will come much faster then many imagine...
Another day, another 20-something making a fortune from selling data to AI labs. This time @micro1_ai and @aliansarinik have raised $100m+ at a $4b valuation, after going from $7m ARR -> $500m ARR in 1.5 years. forbes.com/sites/annatong/20…

solana:1zJX5gRnjLgmTpq5sVwkq69mNDQkCemqoasyjaPW6jm has been one of the longest holds for me ever and I'm still holding it, despite radio silence. It's been forever at $10m market cap, now at $13m.
@useKled uses the @StreetFDN model and allocated 5-10% equity to token holders. There's a big dependency on an actual business going from scale-up to unicorn to decacorn. So capped to the upside, but also dragged up by a real company.
What does Kled do? It's a UX friendly app so people in third world countries can monetize their camera roll and complete tasks by uploading pictures.
It's brilliant. Building THE platform to source raw datasets directly from users would be invaluable to anyone building inference. AI companies are already touching the limits of building inference based on easy sources (the internet) and the Anthropics of this world are buying up ancient books to throw them in the grinder.
This creates a giant moat for anyone owning real world data collection; raw, uncensored and being able to direct people source specific data.
There's so much money in AI; I can definitely see big contracts coming their way or Kled be acquired.
I feel the v3 could definitely be a big catalyst on the upside and I love to have a play in my portfolio that capitalizes on data collection, which I believe to be a niche not to be ignored.
Highlights:
- 300k+ contributors
- ~5M daily uploads
- ~1.5B records on the platform
- $35M+ enterprise purchase pipeline
- Appstore #1 Finance in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines in 2025
- V3 coming out soon
- June 2026: $12M two-year non-exclusive licensing deal; they called the marketplace “officially profitable”
-Equity raised: roughly $10–14M, including a ~$5.5M seed (names cited: Sebastian Thrun, Aglaé Ventures, K5 Global; some lists also include a16z / Bain on earlier checks). Company has talked about a high valuation cap (~$150–280M depending on source)
Onchain IPOs are coming, and projects like @StreetFDN are already working on the rails to make it possible, alongside @useKled.
As robotics becoming the next major capital formation narrative, the protocols enabling onchain access to these companies could capture significant value.
The opportunity is often before the narrative becomes consensus, not after.
$KLED will eventually hit billion sooner or later.
$KLED Many are being sidelined while the team continues building quietly behind the scenes.
The highest conviction opportunity is usually before the information becomes consensus, not after.
Markets price in knowledge quickly. Waiting for confirmation from everyone else often means waiting until the asymmetric upside is gone.
Not a single AI onchain coin stayed relevant for a full year, yet here we are with $KLED still holding.
10 months of downside, declining volume, and it’s STILL holding this range above 10 million. The team has also been buying supply back slowly, even through the bear, since it do generate actual profit outside the crypto world.
That’s the kind of strength we should like. Bear market tried to break it and couldn’t. Now the part everyone seems to be missing: Kled AI’s latest reported valuation is around $280M which is before even company was profitable. Now the KLED is on literally different level.
@avipat_ will gonna raise in coming rounds with valuations of 700 mil to 1 billion. (As robotics data gathering is the biggest bottleneck for the whole industry)
Reversal candle very soon.
It’s been 63 days, 17 hours, and 56 minutes since your last tweet, @avipat_.
Just come back with the Patel model. The longer you take, the better it better be. 😭
Kled has registered over 15 million file records on the Trace Audit Portal in just a few days.
Four multi billion dollar frontier AI labs have already begun using Trace to verify the integrity and provenance of Kled's data before making purchases.
This is only the beginning. The Data Foundation will continue expanding the system until every file on Kled is fully auditable on chain.
