Halfway through researching a project, a question suddenly pops into my mind: "What exactly is this token used for in the ecosystem?"

That's what happened when I was digging deep into Kindred recently. My curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to break down the $KIN token from start to finish.

After dissecting it, I found that $KIN plays the role of "universal fuel" in the entire Kindred ecosystem. Want to create an AI application? You need to burn $KIN. Want the AI to run? You still need to burn $KIN.

This kind of design is actually quite straightforward—no matter what you do in the ecosystem, you can't avoid this token. It's not just an optional accessory; it's an essential part of keeping the entire system running.
