$ace isn’t a narrative token it’s infrastructure. ACE has quietly built the pipes that make ai work. one platform gives access to everything, high-speed data apis, global residential & mobile proxies, datasets, and generative ai tools (text, image, music, video). think of ACE as the backbone layer where data and ai actually connect. no need to juggle 10 different services, you build, scrape, train, deploy and scale from one cloud. and now, with x402 integration, ACE takes it even further enabling trustless, automatic billing between apis. that means ai systems can pay each other directly, no middlemen, no manual payments, no friction. over 900m+ api calls, 80k+ active users and a top 400 global github dev behind it, this is a working engine that’s already scaling. ACE is bridging web2 performance with web3 automation. data, compute and payment are all unified. when the next wave of ai companies start needing reliable data and self-executing payments, they’ll end up here. this is real infrastructure project and they have been shipping nonstop.
