Honestly, the one sentence I hate the most is: “Once the project gets going, I’ll jump in.”

Once it’s up and running, the cost you end up paying is often the highest.

ALD’s ecosystem node mechanism is pretty interesting:

* The first batch of the first 1,000 nodes costs 800U.
* After the 1,000 spots are taken, a tiered pricing mechanism with step increases will be used.
* Node holders can participate in the ecosystem rights-and-benefits program (specific details depend on the project rules).

What I’m more optimistic about isn’t the nodes themselves, but the plan 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 is never money, it’s waiting.
