Do you remember the first few days after USD1 launched, when the market exploded like fireworks?
I chased trends in the Four.meme community and saw $CA (CAILA) appear in the corresponding reward pool.
At that time, I just thought: 'Oh, this is a MEME project linked to USD1, trade it and move on.'
So I did three things:
1. Bought CA with 100U (cost about 0.005U).
2. Sold after a slight increase.
3. Turned around and chased the next project, completely ignoring what technical structure it had.
At that time, I regarded CA as a 'Meme coin with an AI label'.
I even mocked once: 'AI weather? Can Web3 weather forecasts be eaten?'
As a result, now, the one slapping me in the face is not anyone else, but myself.
💥02 | A few days later, I saw a string of on-chain notifications: CAILA issued airdrops, but I wasn't included.
I inadvertently brushed past the image posted by Four.meme:
'Congratulations to the following Marco-bound users for receiving $CA airdrop (binding + trading)'
'The system automatically identifies behavior paths for distribution, no registration needed.'
I looked at that row of addresses, so familiar, scrolled down a bit, and suddenly remembered:
I bought it, but didn't bind Marco. There was no on-chain behavior record left.
I missed the internal testing incentives + the first round of trading airdrops.
I thought it was just a 'Meme for trading emotions'.
I didn't expect it to be an extremely complete closed-loop system of on-chain AI Agents:
The token from my short-term trade turned out to be 'callable execution fuel' in the AI closed loop.
I missed the opportunity to be among the first 'on-chain inputers'.
This time, I seriously followed CAILA's operations:
1. Spent 0.002 BNB to bind an ID.
2. Joined the CA/BNB LP pool, mining steadily.
3. Teased the AI meteorologist every day in TG and Twitter Agent.
4. Participated in commenting and trading reward tasks.
This time, I fully 'participated' in this closed loop:
• My identity (Marco) was recorded.
• My interaction behavior was triggered (contract called).
• My contributions (trading, LP) were rewarded.
• My assets (CA) were used for real AI system calls.
I transformed from a 'coin player' to one of the behavioral nodes of this AI system.
We always say Web3 needs to change the role of users—
But CAILA really was the first to make me feel like I wasn't just a rookie or a traffic source, but a part of the structure:
Bind identity → Provide data → Agent calls → Contract execution → System gives you dividends.
All of this happened because I transformed from a 'speculator' into a 'binder'.
I no longer just want to chase a hype point; instead, I hope to become a segment of the narrative's closed loop.
If you still regard CA as a speculative opportunity, then what you've missed is not just the token's price increase.
What you missed is the entire on-chain AI era, a historical moment when the value of user behavior began to be recognized.
Did you ever get CA in the USD1 competition?
Did you bind Marco? Do you think data assets are the next entry point for the narrative?
