Why does IDN Network have confidence in the era of Web3 infrastructure?

In the past few years, the Web3 industry has gone through one high-density narrative switch after another. From Decentralized Finance, NFT, to GameFi, AI × Web3, concepts emerge endlessly, and market sentiment fluctuates rapidly, but the real long-term value that has settled down is quite limited.

For this reason, the IDN Network's judgment on the industry is undergoing a clear and firm shift: the core of Web3 is returning from “storytelling” to “building foundations.”

This is not conservatism, but a more mature choice.

1. When the narrative bonus fades, the industry begins to return to its essence.

At the current stage, more and more participants find that relying solely on concept-driven approaches is no longer sufficient to support long-term development:

Users no longer pay for complex narratives.

The traffic dividend has significantly decreased.

The project lifecycle is constantly being compressed.

The market has begun to price using “delivery capability” rather than “imagination space”.

Against this background, the value of infrastructure is being re-evaluated. This is an inevitable process of self-repair and self-evolution in the industry.

2. Infrastructure determines how far Web3 can go.

Any sustainable Web3 application relies on stable, low-cost, and scalable underlying network support.

What truly matters has never been short-term popularity, but rather:

Is the network stable enough?

Is the cost controllable enough?

Does the architecture support large-scale collaboration?

Can it support a diverse ecosystem rather than a single application?

IDN Network is precisely based on this judgment, choosing to focus long-term on the construction of underlying and system-level capabilities.

3. From “building applications” to “establishing systems”, it is an industry upgrade.

In the early days of Web3, it resembled a “product competition”; whoever had the more innovative gameplay and stronger narrative could attract more attention.

And now, the industry has entered a new stage:

From point breakthrough → system synergy

From short-term gains → long-term structure

From Project Center → Ecological Co-construction

At this stage, the truly valuable question becomes: Can this system operate naturally without continuous marketing?

This is the significance of infrastructure projects.

Fourth, the second half of Web3 is a marathon.

As the cycle lengthens and the rhythm slows down, what the industry is competing on is no longer explosiveness, but:

Can it traverse the cycle?

Can it continue to be built?

Can a positive flywheel be formed?

Should developers, nodes, and the community be truly involved?

IDN Network focuses more on sustainability over a ten-year scale rather than short-term fluctuations.

Conclusion

Web3 hasn't stopped, it has just entered a more rational phase.

When the noise fades away, what truly remains is often not the loudest projects, but rather the builders who quietly construct the networks, rules, and collaborative mechanisms at the foundation.

This is also the fundamental reason why IDN Network is optimistic about and continuously invests in infrastructure.
