The network has expanded—with over 335,000 mobile devices, 175+ countries, and more than 685,000 deployments—the supply side is now well-established. The key question is whether demand can sustain consistent usage. Here’s how demand for $ACU is driven: 1. Developers pay deployment and network fees to schedule tasks; the more lightweight tasks—like AI workloads—the more stable the payment demand becomes. 2. To commit more capacity or earn higher rewards, users must stake more $ACU—the same applies to delegation. 3. The treasury will continue to be replenished; as network value grows, voting rights themselves will generate additional demand. The official live demo showcases real mobile devices executing tasks. If such workloads continue to grow, both payment and staking demand will rise in tandem. Most tokens are allocated for community-related purposes with long vesting periods—effectively reserving fuel for future growth, rather than flooding institutions with immediate unlockable supply. More devices are just the foundation. What truly determines demand is whether task volume can sustainably increase—and whether the staking mechanism can retain participants. Both are progressing. That’s why $ACU remains worth watching. @Acurast
