In every round of hot market conditions, there are always a group of people who outpace the trend, and there are always some who watch opportunities slip away. Unfortunately, this time I was the latter.
It refers to $CA, which is the one that rose to the top of the hot search on Binance Alpha, with a daily trading volume exceeding 20 million USD, a Meme × DePIN × AI new project.
But what truly left me unsettled was not missing the rise, but later realizing:
This is not just a Meme, but it’s the first time I saw the 'on-chain AI Agent network' truly landing in a DePIN way.
This is not a joke, this is a history of blood and tears.
👀 First encounter with $CA: a misunderstanding caused by a Meme project
At first, I heard about it in a Telegram group, saying 'CA is on Alpha, trading volume is soaring', and someone posted a picture of a blue hippo wearing a gold chain and a white robe, saying, 'This Meme has a Middle Eastern gold master vibe.'
I clicked in and saw: no VC, Fair Launch, fair airdrop, the visual style is Meme, and the narrative is borrowing from AI, DePIN, AgentFi...
My first reaction was: yet another hype-driven air coin?
As a result of this illusion, I completely ignored it—also missing the lowest point at that time.
💸 Second encounter: chasing the rise + profit-taking + missing the big leg
It wasn't until I saw $CA listed on THENA starting liquidity mining that I realized it wasn't just hype.
I rushed into the market, made a purchase, and sold as soon as it doubled, thinking 'better safe than sorry'.
But in less than 36 hours, CA's trading volume directly formed a linkage on Pancake, Thena, UXUY, and rushed into the USD1 competition hosted by WLFI.
My buy point → profit-taking point → subsequent increase, is almost a template for 'hundred-fold Meme' top escaping.
Looking at that on-chain address ranked first on the Alpha hot list, I began to seriously study what this project was actually doing.
🛰️ CAILA, not just a Meme, but the 'On-chain Meteorologist' network
After reading the white paper and ecological materials, I was truly silent:
Every $CA Agent is actually bound to the real-world Marco weather station;
Marco uploads weather data, processed through on-chain verification and AI Agent, forming semantic reports;
Users can earn $CA rewards through data uploads, running Agents, and participating in decision-making;
This is not idle talk about AI, but a real Agent economic model deployed on-chain;
Collaborations with GAUR, Lista DAO, UXUY, etc., are ecological, not just empty promises.
In summary:
Meme is the traffic driver, but Agent is the future.
🌐 If the future of Web3 has a picture, it should be 'I stand on the cloud of the chain, watching data dance in the wind'
This missed opportunity made me redefine the standard for 'potential projects'.
In the past, I would look at charts, popularity, and endorsements, but now, I will go check
Is it building a 'new type of data relationship'?
Can it link reality with on-chain?
Has it turned 'identity' into an intelligent agent entry?
What I missed was a hundred-fold coin, but more importantly, it was an opportunity for a role upgrade for Web3 natives.
I am not a speculator, I am the 'on-chain AI meteorologist'—just a few days late.
✅ But fortunately, everything is still ongoing
Marco's weather station is still airdropping, CA's Agent network is still expanding, and ecological cooperation is advancing rapidly.
Compared to chasing the rise, participation is more important—becoming a part of the Agent network.
This time, I decided to no longer just 'watch the excitement', I want to participate.
In the next Web3 storm, I want to be the first forecaster.
