Recently, I saw new L1/L2 projects that, once incentives start, quickly pull up TVL. Old users complain, "Mining, selling," which is basically normal: attention comes first, liquidity follows, and then disperses after. I'm now trying not to chase hot rankings anymore, and instead ask myself three questions: Would people still use this without incentives? Are the costs and risks of cross-chain assets worth it? Can the ecosystem be integrated with my usual set of tools (bridges, DApps, wallets, tools all in one line)? My mom asked me a few days ago, "Are you guys just claiming coupons every day and then flipping them?" I could only reply half-heartedly: Some people really just do it for that... Anyway, I’d rather take it slow, keep some positions for the validation period, and not rush in as soon as it heats up to become traffic fuel.
