Recently, there have been some noteworthy data fluctuations in the DeFi market. The TVL of the Stable chain has dropped to $29,000, while new public chains like Eclipse and Berachain have seen their TVL evaporate by over 95%. In comparison, although Ethereum and Solana have also experienced declines of 20-30%, their ecosystem activity and user base remain relatively stable, not solely relying on mining subsidies to attract users.



Looking back at history, the 2022 LUNA collapse and FTX explosion left deep lessons for the market. Recently, the Bitcoin DeFi concept has gained popularity, but data shows that much of this is driven by emotional speculation.

In the market cycle of cryptocurrencies, this phenomenon is quite common—concept hype, capital inflows, project team cash-outs, and participants exiting. The super-high TVL of new public chains is often a false prosperity built on liquidity mining subsidies. When subsidies run out, genuine user demand and ecosystem applications are the key factors determining long-term survival. Projects that rely solely on incentives rather than product competitiveness to attract users are often the first to be affected during cycle adjustments.

If you're interested in DeFi data, it's advisable to regularly monitor real interaction metrics, Gas fee consumption, and other indicators across various blockchain ecosystems, rather than just looking at TVL numbers. Only then can you more rationally assess the actual operational status of projects.

Another round of rug pulls, Eclipse and Berachain, these new chains are really disappointing. Watching TVL evaporate by 95% feels pretty satisfying, doesn't it? Not to brag, but they hyped up so much initially and now they’re crashing hard. Once subsidies stop, people leave. Honestly, no one is really using them. Ethereum and Solana also dropped, but at least they have real applications. That’s the difference. Still looking at TVL? Bro, I only look at transaction volume and Gas consumption now. You can't fool me. A mess again, time to wait for the next cycle.

Another act of "false prosperity" is happening, this time involving Eclipse and Berachain. You really need to pay more attention to the TVL numbers; once subsidies stop, the true nature is revealed. LUNA hasn't learned its lesson yet, and now they're playing with new concepts... Projects with real vitality don't rely on mining to suck blood; the resilience of ETH and SOL is right there. Instead of focusing on the rise and fall of TVL, it's better to look at the actual gas consumption, which is the real indicator of a project's survival. This cycle of tricks in the crypto world repeats every period; it's just the retail investors changing.

Ah, I already said it, those new public chains are just subsidy machines. New concepts are dead after the hype, just look at Berachain's 95% drop... unbelievable. Only ETH and SOL are still alive because people are actually using them.

Another round of retail investors being harvested, the subsidy drama of new public chains is about to end After so many years in the crypto space, I can perform these routines with my eyes closed Watching TVL is like looking at candlestick charts; it's easy to be deceived. Gas fees are the real demand Berachain's 95% evaporation this time is outrageous ETH and Sol are stable, indicating that the ecosystem is solid The subsidies are gone, and project teams should start to run Stop focusing on TVL, brother. Watching actual transaction volume is more reliable I was involved during the LUNA wave; this time, I am more cautious

95% evaporation haha, this is the daily life in the crypto world It's the same old trick, the bubble created by subsidies will burst sooner or later Solana and ETH are alive, other new chains are all gambling on luck

Another round of rug pulls, seen through it all Berachain's 95% drop, hilarious, just knew it was fake data piled up from subsidies Projects with real vitality don't rely on mining subsidies to sustain themselves; Ethereum and Solana are prime examples I haven't forgotten the LUNA incident, and now there's a new story about a public chain? I'm just here to watch the show Gas fees are the true litmus test for the authenticity of an ecosystem; I really don't care for the TVL numbers New chains rug new investors, how long can this cycle go on? When subsidies stop, activity drops sharply, which says it all
