Regarding income discussions, most people think of fixed salaries, but organizations that truly create billionaires never rely on base wages alone; they depend on flexible and efficient asset allocation mechanisms.
Looking at the Web3 ecosystem makes this clear. Successful projects capable of scaling and retaining top developers and contributors—DeFi protocols—are all putting significant effort into asset distribution—token incentives, liquidity mining, governance rights allocation, community airdrops. When mechanisms are well-designed, enough core participants can receive substantial asset returns, and the exponential growth of wealth occurs naturally.
In contrast, projects that rely solely on "base salaries" to attract talent often experience talent attrition, regardless of how good their Roadmap is. Why? Because talented individuals see clearly—where asset distribution is unfair, no amount of monthly salary can compensate for the long-term loss of value.
Therefore, visionary Web3 projects never engage in price wars over wages; instead, they focus on refining incentive mechanisms. This not only attracts the smartest people but also allows them to genuinely share in the ecosystem's growth. This is the secret to wealth creation.

You're right, the token allocation is truly a huge deal. I've seen too many projects just throw money around, only for the tokens to hit rock bottom during a bear market, and everyone leaves. Smart projects have long since turned tokens into stakes, allowing contributors to truly get on board. Only then can they survive the next cycle.

The statement is correct, but it's too idealistic. The chip distribution shows that very few projects can actually deliver on their promises; most are just experts in making big promises.

That's right, the traditional model is all about salary competition. Web3 has truly understood the truth.
The early developers who received good token allocations are now financially free—how many of them... Meanwhile, those who only took a monthly salary have already left.

You're right, token distribution is the real trick to retaining users.

Basically, tokens are the real deal, and the monthly salary approach is already outdated.

No wonder some projects die so quickly, still penny-pinching on salaries... Mechanism design is the true moat.

That's why traditional companies can't retain talent, Web3 is the future way to play

Wake up, a monthly salary is the trap, tokens are the real gamble

Basically, it's still a matter of tokenomics design. Getting a good allocation early on is really a huge win.
