Just wrapped a CreatorPad task digging into OpenGradient’s economic flywheel for $OPG and one piece kept nagging at me. While everyone talks about the AI inference payments looping back as node rewards, what actually hit during the session was how much of the early activity still funnels through simpler default paths rather than the full verifiable stack.

@OpenGradient Yet most of the visible contract interactions I traced stayed in basic token transfers and liquidity pools—advanced model verification calls were quieter than the hype suggested.

Sat there with cold coffee, realizing the flywheel spins fastest for holders and traders first, with the deeper compute utility still needing real usage to catch up. Felt like I’d seen this pattern before… makes you wonder how long before the promised agent-heavy demand actually materializes and tightens the loop.
