There has been a clear change in the Meme track recently—the competition logic is upgrading. In the past, everyone competed on how quickly they could issue tokens and circulate them, but now platforms are playing a deeper game. Taking four Meme platforms as an example, their ecological catalysis plans are essentially shifting from purely traffic platforms to roles that incubate ecosystems.

This shift is highly significant for project teams. They will select truly promising projects and provide long-term support and resource advantages. For developers, this is far more attractive than just attracting players.

The most money-consuming part of building a project now is customer acquisition. Promoting and marketing on your own is ridiculously costly. If you can access a mature ecosystem that offers exposure opportunities and strategic support, it essentially helps project teams quickly solve two major problems—how to cold start and how to survive.

This approach is quite interesting. Rather than simply acting as a transaction intermediary, it’s more about deep resource binding. Compared to that, this grassroots ecosystem empowerment is more attractive to builders who truly want to do something, and it’s easier to retain them.
