Market hype will always cool down eventually, but the real things will always survive.

The development of Ethereum over the past two years clearly shows this—DeFi, NFTs, various Layer2 ecosystems, waves of hot topics rise and fall. After the noise, what remains? It's still those applications and protocols that truly solve problems and are willing to be used continuously by users.

In the short term, focus on popularity; in the medium term, focus on updates; in the long term, focus on retention. Only products that users keep using prove that they have substance. That’s why some chains burn brightly for a moment and then fade away, while some applications go through life and death multiple times but keep iterating—experience, security, and cost are hard metrics that can't be fooled.

It's the same theory again, but it really hit the mark. The applications that are still in use are the real deal.

That's the truth—no matter how many bubbles burst, it's all pointless. In the end, only those who truly work hard survive.

To be honest, the most honest are still those who vote with their feet. I just see some projects marketing every day, but the user retention rate is a mess. Doesn't that say it all? True vitality lies in the details.
