Interesting ecosystem observation: a friend forked an application from a certain chain and was able to monetize it with just a 50k ecosystem grant. Someone else is running a Solana validator node and directly selling block construction rights to transaction endpoints. It seems there are many more profitable ways than what appears on the surface—many people are harvesting profits through MEV extraction, validator economics, and similar methods. The discussions on social media only cover about 20% of the market operation methods. The remaining 80% of the tricks and mechanisms are mostly happening behind the scenes. Information asymmetry is how this is created.
