It's rare to see a cryptocurrency project with such a large actual revenue volume. KGeN recently achieved an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of 80 million US dollars (compared to 70 million US dollars in December last year). How was this achieved? Nowadays, whether AI companies need to find high-quality data, DeFi protocols need to attract real users, or game projects need to establish player communities, everyone faces a problem: how to find real people among a bunch of robots, and how to ensure that these users really want to participate. The KGeN project is aimed at solving this pain point. KGeN is a Web3 Verified Distribution Protocol that focuses on accelerating community growth, building loyalty, and reward mechanisms by verifying users through real humans.
@KGeN_SO positions itself as VeriFi (Verified Distribution Protocol), which verifies a user's true identity through four dimensions: participation, skills, social interaction, and transactions. As the world's first verified distribution protocol, based on the POGE Identity and Reputation Framework, it has aggregated 48.9 million real users and provided enterprise level AI training data services to tech giants using its vast verified user base. It has also served over 200 AI, DeFi, and gaming projects. On this basis, we have earned over $80 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Unlike projects that rely solely on emotional hype, the project tokens are supported by sustainable commercial income, which means that the tokens can directly capture real profits from game developers' purchase volume (UA) and AI data sales
The source of income is very clear:
1) AI training data services (such as Sapien, Sentient, etc.) provide real interactive data for model training
2)Loyalty Protocol, Help Web2 brands enter Web3 and establish a membership, points, and reward system
3) User growth/distribution services, accessed through API/SDK, help DeFi and games gain real users
4) Data and Reputation Monetization (POGE), where the application pays to access the user's identity and reputation data.
The problem raised by KGeN is real, and the solution approach also has some rationality. Based on current data, there has been some progress in the commercialization of the project, which deserves recognition in the current market environment.
However, any new technology requires long-term market validation. For friends who are interested in this project, it is recommended to focus on several aspects: the quality of user growth, the stability of revenue sources, the scalability of technical architecture, and the team's execution ability. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to whether business growth can continue to empower tokens, as the current phenomenon of decoupling business growth from tokens in the cryptocurrency market is also a major issue.
Web3 is transitioning from speculation to value, and in this process, many projects will be eliminated, while some truly valuable projects will emerge. Whether KGeN can become the latter remains to be seen. In their words, it is' VeriFi '
