Speaking of the fundamental difference between Web3 and Web2, one core element cannot be overlooked—the role of the community.

In many high-quality Web3 projects, such as those that have built a strong community culture, you will find an indescribable sense of cohesion among participants. Their interactions across various communication platforms, from discussions to feedback, and even jointly maintaining the ecosystem, this energy is actually the true competitive barrier of the project.

This is completely different from the traditional internet. Web2 is more about platforms delivering one-way output to users, with users being relatively passive. Web3, on the other hand, returns agency and a sense of belonging to the community—everyone is not just a consumer but more like a co-creator. It is precisely because of this sense of participation that a close-knit "tribal culture" forms. It is not created through marketing packaging but naturally emerges through actual interactions.

This is the true moat for projects that can go far.
