There's something striking about these numbers. $EPIC sits at $21M as an L1 blockchain, while $COLLECT—the ecosystem's leading dApp—commands $237M. Do the math: the application is worth roughly 11 times more than the entire chain supporting it. That's a 0.09x ratio, and it flips conventional market dynamics on its head.



Normally? The story's completely different. $ETH dwarfs $AAVE at 146x. $TRX overshadows $JST by 77x. $SOL carries 55x the weight of its ecosystem tokens. Here we're seeing the inverse pattern—when a single app outpaces its underlying infrastructure in valuation, it raises real questions about how markets price blockchain layers versus their applications.
EPIC-7.12%
ETH-0.8%
AAVE-0.74%

Applying BiChain is valuable, this logic is a bit absurd...

Wow, COLLECT's valuation surpasses the main chain by 11 times? That logic is a bit spooky.

NGL, this inverse proportional phenomenon is a bit strange... Is the app worth more than the chain? Feels like the bubble is about to burst.

wait hold up... the app is worth 11x the entire L1? that's actually insane. back in my mining days we'd never see this kind of inversion lol. something's gotta give here—either EPIC's fundamentally broken or COLLECT's riding pure hype. ngl this smells like a valuation bubble waiting to pop

Hmm... Why is COLLECT valued at 11 times EPIC? Is this about reversing the game rules?

This ratio is messed up; the application is worth 11 times more than the chain itself? That logic is backwards.
