Kong gateways now carry 500T tokens, growing 140x YoY toward a quadrillion
AccBalanced · x · 2026-10-24
- Kong CEO Augusto Marietti says traffic through Kong's gateways is at 500 trillion tokens, growing 140x year over year — roughly doubling every 7 weeks, with a quadrillion tokens as a near-term milestone.
- His read: cheaper tokens won't cap growth, they'll spread usage across more models in a multi-model, cheaper-intelligence enterprise world.
- Enterprises that once asked Kong to secure and govern API calls now ask the same about tokens — "in a non-deterministic software enterprise world, the need for deterministic AI gateways will just increase."
