To be honest, the sentence I hate most is: “I’ll join once the project is up and running.”

By the time it gets running, the cost you pay is often the highest.

ALD’s ecosystem node mechanism is pretty interesting:

* The first 1,000 nodes cost 800U.
* After the first 1,000 slots end, a price ladder with incremental increases will be used.
* Node holders can participate in the ecosystem rights and incentives plan (details depend on the project rules).

What I’m more bullish on isn’t the nodes themselves, but the layout behind ALD:

* A self-developed public chain
* A DEX decentralized exchange
* Web3 ecosystem development

In the crypto space, there are many opportunities—the biggest cost has never been money, but waiting.
