TIA briefly surged to around $0.76 before returning to about $0.63; public discussion has linked this volatility to the Eden testnet. These prices are snapshots mentioned in the discussion, not live market data.

Eden reportedly lets AI agents pay gas fees in TIA, while its first experimental project, Botfun, is still in testing. My assessment is that a testnet can generate activity, but it does not yet prove sustained demand for TIA.

There are also claims that Eden allows apps to sponsor gas fees. This could lower the barrier to using agents, but more transactions do not necessarily mean agents have to hold TIA directly. There is currently no independently verifiable data on sustained payments, gas consumption, or user retention after testing ends; the product details above also remain to be confirmed by official sources.

If transactions keep growing but stable payments never materialize, should the market still treat Eden as a new source of demand for TIA?
