Recently, I took a shot on a project within the Solana ecosystem, mainly because I was attracted by its background story. The project directly used visual design elements from a major exchange, and it claims to be the earliest token on the Solana network to adopt this kind of branding strategy. It sounds quite interesting, but it also raises some doubts.

This also prompted me to think about the decision-making structure of the project. Core management roles like the CTO should really be made by a single individual rather than a team-based approach. The reason is simple—once multiple people are involved, the trust chain can easily break. You can never fully confirm the true intentions and decision logic of your teammates, especially when it comes to branding, assets, and community reputation. Sometimes, what seems like negotiation and cooperation can instead become an excuse for passing the buck and shirking responsibility.
