Are you planning to do anything or should I just dump my 9% of the entire emission and roll your token into the floor? What are your plans? Write to me right now.

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

So @c0mputeAI literally just took @IdleProtocol product and re-launched it a month later?

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

The only way I could see them making money with this model is via token trading fees, if anyone can query as much as they want up to their total JTVO holding.

But if they’re holding that means they’re not actively trading, and thus not generating fees.

So over a long enough time frame I think they just lose money on everyone making queries if people are actually making queries daily and not trading their tokens.

an @IdleProtocol shoutout on the FOMO newsletter 🤔

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@bullseyesky5 @0xRenaissance Yes no bull market this year it only went a measly 8/9x in 2 years

You’re silly

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@bunjil @based16z Any updates on this thesis sir

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@RexhaRexhaRexha @notanicecat69 Fails to the mention the idea of markets changing / evolving

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@notanicecat69 ? put it all into s&p, make 10% a year on average, take 30-50% out yearly for spending and let the rest compound.

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@25THPRMR @gsd_foundation @official_taches Crazy for him to do this but he has a fair point

Anyone who thinks a crypto startup is gonna beat a company with multi trillion dollar grants is delulu

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@0xuberM Just buy idle gng

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@ByzGeneral His argument sucked he’s just pissed he didn’t get to make money because initially they were a bon-profit

The internet accidentally created one of the largest untapped markets in existence:

unused intelligence.

Idle GPUs.
Idle agents.
Idle APIs.
Idle bandwidth.
Idle wallets.
Idle machines sitting awake at 3am doing absolutely nothing.

And now projects like solana:AjLhrxN2yrCe45Y2KGPMZCkBm6NpN43jWqPkdZq6pump @IdleProtocol are trying to financialize that wasted capacity into an active marketplace.
That framing feels much more interesting to me than just calling it “AI infra.”
Because this isn’t merely about AI.
It’s about turning dormant digital resources into productive economic actors.
That’s a far bigger shift.

Most people still imagine the future internet as humans interacting with AI.

But the more likely outcome is:

AI interacting with AI.

Agents hiring other agents.
Models paying for compute.
Autonomous workflows purchasing APIs in real time.
Wallets routing capital automatically.
Machines becoming customers of other machines.

And suddenly the internet starts looking less like a website ecosystem and more like a living economy.

That’s where IDLE becomes conceptually strong.

The protocol is basically building a monetization layer for unused digital infrastructure:

• idle GPUs becoming inference endpoints
• agents becoming callable services
• APIs becoming metered products
• PCs becoming compute suppliers
• wallets becoming yield-generating workers
• datasets becoming monetizable query layers

All plugged into one gateway.
That design choice matters.
Because the market right now is fragmented into separate narratives:
• DePIN
• AI agents
• x402 payments
• API monetization
• distributed compute
• autonomous commerce
But IDLE quietly sits in the overlap of all of them.

Those intersection narratives are usually where asymmetric upside hides because the market struggles to categorize them early.

One thing I think people are underestimating:

the future AI economy probably won’t be constrained by intelligence.

It’ll be constrained by coordination.
The real challenge becomes:
How do millions of autonomous systems discover resources, pay for them, route workloads, and settle value efficiently?
That requires infrastructure that feels native to machines, not humans.
And traditional internet rails were never designed for machine-native commerce.
Subscription models are human-native.

Invoices are human-native.

Banking delays are human-native.

Agents don’t want any of that.

Agents optimize for:
• instant execution
• low latency
• dynamic pricing
• automated settlement
• real-time resource discovery
Which is why crypto rails feel unusually compatible with this direction.
The other thing I like about IDLE is the simplicity of the economic loop.
“Put idle resources to work.”
That’s an incredibly scalable primitive historically.

Uber monetized idle cars.
Airbnb monetized idle rooms.
Cloud computing monetized idle servers.

solana:AjLhrxN2yrCe45Y2KGPMZCkBm6NpN43jWqPkdZq6pump is directionally trying to monetize idle digital intelligence itself.

That’s a massive TAM if agent economies actually materialize.

And honestly, one of the most important details is probably the most overlooked one:

the protocol abstracts complexity away.

A GPU owner doesn’t need to become an infrastructure company.

An agent creator doesn’t need to build payment rails.

An API developer doesn’t need to architect metering systems manually.

IDLE handles:

• routing
• metering
• settlement
• pricing suggestions
• auth
• gateway infrastructure

That abstraction layer is important because infrastructure adoption usually comes from reducing friction, not increasing sophistication.

Another underrated angle:

machine economies could create far more economic activity than human internet activity long term.

Humans sleep.
Agents don’t.

Humans stop working weekends.
Agents don’t.
Humans process limited workflows simultaneously.
Agents scale infinitely.
If millions of autonomous agents begin transacting continuously:
• paying for inference
• renting compute
• accessing datasets
• invoking APIs
• coordinating workflows
then protocols facilitating those transactions become foundational infrastructure layers.

And right now, the market still largely treats this entire sector like a side narrative.

That’s what makes it interesting.

Because the biggest opportunities often appear when something looks “too early” right before it becomes obvious.
As always, a great find caught early by @AlphaSeeker21

If you need to pay for a wrapper to run an agent you probably don’t need to be running the agent

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@JavierVG_ @0xuberM Certainly

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

Kled fixes the data shortage by crowdsourcing it, Idle fixes the compute shortage by crowdsourcing it.

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

Idle Protocol ($IDLE) is the $Kled of compute with a way better roi.

Kled payouts typically get $1-$2 for 100 pictures. And that’s if the pictures are actually good.

With Idle, you can make $300 a month passively with a mid computer doing absolutely nothing.

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

@0xuberM Anyone who thinks Rayquaza isn’t goated with the sauce is a fake enjoyer

[Dex @ApeingShitters]

It appears $idle is the $kled of compute
