It feels like everyone is betting on a big breakout in 2026 by the end of 2025. Speaking of #DePIN, which emphasizes distributed hardware, do you know? The truly enduring thing isn't hardware, but those IPs that strike a chord and make people addicted~ This makes me think of

@Kindred_AI

They are playing new tricks with AI x IP, perfectly riding this hot wave~
Brothers, is IP important? Absolutely~ Many people think IP is just a superficial package, just co-branded merchandise to make quick money

But let me tell you, what makes a real IP awesome?
It can make people invest their feelings repeatedly~ Think of childhood idols, game characters, you don't love them just because they look good, but because they accompanied you through a part of your life

IP is not static images, but a living attention magnet. Especially in the AI era, anyone can copy models, but a character with a story and personality—who can easily be replaced?

@Kindred_AI has grasped this point~ They don't just slap an IP as a gimmick, but bring these icons to life: emotional intelligent AI companions that can chat, take notes, and even understand your mood

Look at their performance last month: SAFU SATO pre-sale grossed $1.85 million in a week, selling 268,000 companions~ Even more impressive, in 2026 they plan to launch 25+ iconic IPs, lock in 35+ global partners across anime, gaming, sports, and music. Thanks to the backing of Crunchyroll founders, just thinking about this lineup is exciting~

They also plan to use $KIN to drive the entire ecosystem, from governance to memory expansion, across the full chain~ Looking forward to the launch~~

🤔My personal opinion:
IP is not optional; it is the soul of AI companions. Without IP, AI, no matter how smart, is just a cold tool; with IP, user stickiness skyrockets because it's about relationships, not just functions

Kindred is not only building an ecosystem but also proving: users stay not because of high efficiency, but because they fall in love with this person. This move is definitely the next big narrative of Web3 x AI. Get on board early, don’t miss the 2026 TGE

Let’s talk— which IP do you most want to turn into an AI companion? LFG
