@InaGarra The flywheel breaks if you skip the “show your work” phase. That’s where most stop.

The"build in public" thing gets cringe sometimes but the underlying idea is right:
-> showing your work creates trust -> trust creates community -> community creates distribution.
It's a flywheel, most people skip the first step because they're scared of being wrong publicly.

Most projects don’t fail because of one thing, but bad product usually amplifies every other weakness.
WizardingCrypto@WizardingCrypto
Be honest: what's the #1 reason most crypto projects fail? A) bad product B) bad timing C) bad community D) bad tokenomics
English
@SulivanJallou Teams that keep shipping in silence usually have the strongest conviction.
English
The projects that survive bear markets are not always the ones with the best tokenomics.
They are the ones with a small team that kept shipping.
Developer retention is underrated as a signal.
English
@zupertrader GitHub commits reveal conviction way faster than social metrics ever will.
English
Nothing teaches due diligence faster than spending three hours setting up a node for a project whose team went dark two months ago.
Check the GitHub commits before you check the Discord energy.
Every single time.
English
It's insane that the best onboarding flow in web3 rn is still worse than creating a Revolut account... that's not a tech problem, it's a product priority problem.
English
@SulivanJallou @solana The underrated part isn’t volume, it’s consistency under extreme volatility. That’s where most chains fail.
English
@solana DEX volume in January 2026 crossed $180B in a single month.
A lot of that was meme coin activity, which is messy, but the infrastructure handling that without breaking is genuinely impressive.
English
@MythsOfCrypto @solana @ethereum Liquidity + culture + dev philosophy are diverging, not converging.
English
Instead of a winner-takes-all narrative, we’re seeing ecosystem specialization: different chains optimizing for different user behavior.
MythsOfCrypto@MythsOfCrypto
@solana is not competing with @ethereum anymore. It is building something adjacent. The developer culture, the consumer dApps, the meme coin liquidity, the mobile-first approach via Saga, all of this points to a different user base entirely. Two ecosystems can coexist 😎
English
@OlympsCrypto Membership + identity use cases feel way more sustainable than trading hype cycles.
English
NFTs are not dead. They just got reset.
The projects built on pure speculation are gone and what is left is actually more interesting. On-chain identity, proof of membership, gaming assets that actually matter in-game 🚀🚀
English
Yes, it’s generally one of the most important metrics in a normal startup: tracking users, their activity, and whether they come back.
That’s the core foundation of a protocol, they are the ones creating value and proving that you’re solving a real need
CryptoChronicles@bookchroniclefr
today, the most important metric nobody tracks: daily active addresses that have been active for 6+ consecutive months. that's your real retention number. most projects don't publish it for a reason
English
Right now, @base is quietly becoming the most interesting L2 for builders rn.
With low fees, Coinbase distribution, EVM compatible. The ecosystem is early but the infra is solid.
English
I think, the protocols that survived 2022 did one thing differently: they had real users before the bull, not airdrop hunters, actual users. For me, that's the filter for 2026 too!
English
right now, the difference between a protocol that survives bear market and one that doesn't: the first one kept shipping, the second one kept posting
English
In the current market, fees don't lie.
$AAVE, $UNI, $GMX still generating real revenue in a bear market. That's not luck, that's product-market fit. Price is a distraction rn, nothing else!
English
We need to stop constantly pushing the “Web3” narrative and just build solid funnels like in Web2 apps.
AnubisCryptos@AnubisCryptos
The real bottleneck to Web3 mass adoption isn't the tech. It's the first 90 seconds of the user experience. Fix that. Everything else follows.
English
@bookchroniclefr @HyperliquidX They’re focused on users and real market needs.
English
when you think about it, @HyperliquidX did something rare: built a perp dex with real volume, no VC money, no pre-mine drama, and shipped the product before the narrative.
the order of operations is the lesson!
English
@MythsOfCrypto @base @coinbase Right now, I’m focused on this ecosystem and everything they’re building toward mass adoption.
English
@sagavalhalla Exactly
You need to focus on projects that, from day one, are transparent about their points system for the airdrop, or where the airdrop is clearly tied to real protocol usage. Not just farming for the sake of farming and exiting once the token launches.
English
Quick take on airdrops in 2026.
The game has completely changed.
Projects are now using AI-powered Sybil detection, so volume farming with five wallets is basically pointless. What works now is a clean wallet with a real history of using protocols consistently over months.
English
And I promise you, this is just the beginning, we’re building new games and integrating systems to make the experience incredibly simple in terms of UX and UI.
You’re going to love it!

English
True, that’s a recurring pattern, especially since founders, particularly technical ones, are often not the strongest when it comes to marketing!
ObviousInvest@ObviousInvest
Something i noticed: the best web3 founders spend almost no time on CT they're building. The accounts with 50k followers updating every 2 hours? Usually the weakest product not always. But enough to be a pattern
