Currently, almost every public chain is building ecosystems and investing in funds, but this approach has a problem—relying solely on performance competitions and short-term subsidies makes it difficult to truly accumulate long-term value.
Looking at the practices of some projects makes this clear. Instead of continuing to compete on general public chain performance metrics, it's better to find a real differentiation strategy. For example, some public chains focus on community consensus by building ecosystems through more user-centric approaches, rather than just piling up computing power and rewards.
This mindset actually reflects a reality: in the second half of ecosystem competition, those who can enhance community stickiness will go further. Subsidies will eventually run out, but community trust can be sustained.

To be honest, a lot of public chains wasting money on subsidies can't last much longer; sooner or later, they'll cool off. The real issue is the community aspect, which is the true key. Competing solely on TPS is too boring.

Once the subsidies are gone, it's over. I've seen through this long ago. The truly sustainable public chains still rely on the community to "nurture" them, not on throwing money to create a false prosperity.

That's right. Currently, many public chains are burning money on subsidies, making it impossible to retain people. Once the subsidies end, everyone disperses.

That's right, but projects that are still burning through money just can't be listened to at all.
