The reason why $PHA suddenly became popular is indeed both accidental and inevitable, which can be attributed to three key points:

1. TEE technology is well prepared: • Although TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) is not a new concept, it has always been a relatively marginal field in the mainstream technical narrative of Crypto. Phala Network's cultivation of TEE technology is one of the inevitable factors that contributed to the popularity of PHA. TEE technology is naturally suitable as a "pre-processing" process for the "off-chain" secure enclave environment. It can serve the chain and can also combine the chain to bring advantages such as trusted pre-processing and isolated privacy computing. Phala Network has a mature TEE solution, which has laid a solid foundation for its application in the blockchain field.

2. Ai16z's thigh is embraced: • The mysterious customer "ai16z" who suddenly appeared adopted Phala Network's TEE solution, which is the biggest accidental factor in the popularity of PHA. ai16z's status as a super commercial IP in the AI ​​Agent track makes its adoption of Phala's TEE solution of great significance. This not only means that Phala's TEE solution has been recognized by the market, but also indicates that Phala will take the lead in the AI ​​Agent control of private key coin issuance. #

3. AI Agent is in the right place: • The current popularity of AI Agent narratives has provided a push for Phala Network. AI Agent has evolved from AI MEME to the launchpad platform, and then to the emergence of single AI and framework standards. Phala Network, as an old chain, has been blown into the wind, and all this is evolving rapidly. The rise of AI Agent has brought unprecedented demand for confidential computing, among which secure and private data processing has become crucial, which is where TEE technology comes into play.
