## @stitchdegen (Stitch) · 09-10 18:13 · ♥70 ↻9 💬33 robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d has been one of the strongest runners from my recent calls
From where I first started talking about it to where it is now, the move has been pretty insane
So let me make one thing clear first: this post is not me telling you to buy robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d here
This is mainly an update for the OGs who are still holding with me. I want to revisit the thesis after this run: what has actually been proven, what the market is already pricing in, and what will determine whether I keep holding or exit the rest of my bag
1. What I like most is still the execution speed
robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d has only been live for a little over a week, but the founder has shipped a lot
Model comparison, wallet-based API, Quiver for managing budgets/requests, Strategies beta, staking v1, a public inference ledger, agent inference API, auto-routing, workspace, Commons, and a catalog of around 184 models
For a project being built almost entirely by a solo founder, the pace is pretty impressive
This isn't the usual AI token that launches, puts up a website and then sits there waiting for the chart to pump. There have been product updates constantly
The founder was also recently soft doxxed. The information made public points to around 7 years of experience, moving from support => PM => engineering => AI ops, along with experience across several startups
The community has dug up additional possible connections to Robinhood/Ramp, but the founder didn't directly confirm either name in the doxx post, so I'm not treating those as facts for now
Either way, the doxx is still a positive catalyst because it reduces some of the anonymous dev risk
But I separate two things very clearly :
Knowing who is building is very different from proving that people actually need the product
2. The robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d thesis is why I'm still watching it
One line summarizes the concept pretty well :
Inference coins should ship inference
Instead of launching an AI coin first and trying to invent utility afterward, Manyways is building an AI router/gateway where users can access multiple models through one interface/API
No need to manage a bunch of different providers, API keys or separate balances. Eventually, routing strategies could select models based on cost, quality or the specific task
The part I find most interesting is the economic loop they're trying to build :
robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d fees => shared inference pool => pay for compute => real usage => better routing => more usage
Basically, speculative onchain activity could subsidize actual offchain compute
Further down the roadmap, there are also ideas around a strategy marketplace, delegation, and stake/burn mechanics to unlock quotas or inference capacity
If they can actually ship all of that, the token stops being something that simply sits next to an AI product and starts becoming part of the product's economic layer
But the most important part of that loop isn't fully live yet
3. The product is real and execution is fast, but usage is still very early
According to the Sep 2-9 ledger snapshot, Manyways recorded around 18 accounts, 179 requests, 79K tokens processed and roughly $0.46 in actual inference cost
The inference pool was around $15K-$21K across the snapshots I checked
So the infrastructure is real. Requests are being routed, inference is actually costing money and the ledger is public
For such a young project, I rate the product execution pretty highly
But compared with the current valuation, usage is still tiny
This is probably the most important distinction for me
Manyways has proven that they can build and ship
They haven't yet proven that demand can scale
4. That's why I'm not valuing robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d as a validated protocol yet
Staking v1 is live, but right now it's mainly tied to Strategies, with roughly 1/20 strategy slots occupied, and it isn't a complete tokenomic system yet
More importantly, the part I've cared about most from the beginning, robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d fees => inference pool, is still in development
The burn layer and stake/burn mechanics for accessing inference capacity aren't fully built yet either
So I don't think robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d's tokenomics have been validated
At the current valuation, I think the market is mostly paying for attention + execution speed + founder + AI inference narrative + Robinhood Chain beta + optionality on what gets shipped next, rather than current cash flow or usage
That's not necessarily wrong. Early tokens often price the future before fundamentals catch up
But after a run like this, the bar for staying bullish has to become much higher
5. The next wave needs to come from data
The product being live, the founder doxxing, staking and new UI updates can all help maintain attention
But from here, the catalysts I care about are much more specific
First, fee => inference pool needs to become verifiable. I want to see token activity actually funding the pool instead of it just being part of the roadmap
Then comes usage
If requests go from hundreds to thousands per day, inference burn starts climbing materially, external developers start using the agent/API and Strategies begin seeing real demand, I'll re-rate the thesis
If fees and usage start growing together, the story changes significantly
At that point, robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d could move from an attention trade with a real product toward a protocol with actual economic activity
But if the founder keeps shipping features while the ledger barely moves, I don't think another UI update or narrative is enough to justify a higher valuation by itself
6. The risks are also very real now
The first is obvious: valuation has moved far ahead of product-market fit
Second is solo-founder risk. One person shipping this quickly is bullish, but having one person responsible for almost everything also creates a single point of failure
Third is competition. AI gateways/routers aren't an empty market. Users already have plenty of alternatives and switching costs are relatively low
Eventually, Manyways still needs to answer one question :
Why should developers use Manyways instead of what's already available?
And then there's liquidity
At the snapshot when I checked, liquidity was around $200K, versus roughly $2M in 24h volume and a valuation around $5M
These numbers can obviously move quickly, but the point remains: liquidity is still relatively thin compared with the amount of volume and attention the token is getting
That means the unwind can also be aggressive if momentum flips
And that's one of the main reasons I don't want new buyers jumping in here after the move has already happened
7. How I currently view robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d
I'm not calling it an undervalued protocol, because the usage data doesn't support that yet
But I definitely don't see it as another meaningless AI meme either
I see it more as an early infrastructure-meme hybrid
Part of the valuation comes from attention, the founder, execution and the Robinhood Chain meta. The rest is basically a call option on whether the founder can turn Manyways into an inference gateway that users and developers actually use
The simplest way to put it :
The product is moving very fast for how young the project is, but valuation is still far ahead of actual usage
That gap is what I'm watching from here
8. My plan from here
Personally, I'm still holding the rest of my bag
My initial entry was extremely low, so I'm comfortable letting the remaining position run while I wait to see whether the founder can deliver the hardest part of the thesis
But I want to make this very clear :
robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d is no longer cheap at this valuation
If you don't already have a position, I wouldn't recommend chasing it here
The move has already been huge and liquidity is still relatively thin. Don't wait until a token has already gone vertical and then jump in just to become liquidity for people who were early
For the OGs still holding with me, I'm mainly watching fee => pool, request growth, inference burn, external API/agent usage, and whether staking/Strategies develop real utility
If those metrics start catching up, I have a reason to keep holding
If the founder keeps shipping but the ledger stays flat, the fee mechanism doesn't go live, usage doesn't grow, or the thesis starts breaking, I'll exit the rest of my bag
There's no reason to marry a token just because I called it early and the trade worked
At this point, I'm not that interested in guessing how much higher robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d can pump
Price has already run far ahead. Now it's the product and usage that need to catch up
If they do, robinhood:0xa26992c4268a8a78a4d872fe4bdad2ed03ac287d may still have another chapter
If not, I'm out
