The $USX depeg drama didn't shake things as much as you'd think. Look at the numbers—Solstice is still holding over $300M in TVL even after all that noise.

That's the real story.

If we're talking pure yield-chasing mercenary capital, that TVL would've disappeared the second things got sketchy. Users would've pulled out and moved to the next opportunity. That's what mercenaries do.

But it didn't happen. TVL stayed put.

Why? Because users aren't just there grinding yield. They're actually committed to the protocol. They believe in what's being built. That's the difference between genuine adoption and empty hype—one sticks around when volatility hits, the other evaporates instantly.

NGL, this is true resilience. The $300 million TVL has held up, indicating that the faith is still there.

NGL, this logic is a bit too optimistic... Could it really all be true believers? I feel like some people are just too lazy to run away.

Nah, this logic doesn't quite add up. The TVL remaining might just be because users are too lazy to move or gas fees are too expensive... it doesn't necessarily mean faith. Really, as long as Solstice is still distributing rewards, anyone will stay. This depeg wave is actually just filtering true believers.

300M TVL hasn't run away, which shows that some people truly believe in this thing --- Even depeg didn't cause a scene, now that's real strength --- Stop talking, another newbie project educated by the market --- This logic doesn't quite hold up... Is it true or not? --- Still, it depends on whether they can deliver results later; anyone can shout slogans --- Hold on, when is this data from? Are there still this many now? --- I'm a bit convinced by PD; you can really see the rookie quality

ngl, having over 300 million in TVL still standing is just crazy. Do so many people really believe in it, or haven't they clearly understood the situation?

Really, not all TVL can withstand the waves. The fact that Solstice's 300 million still holds firm—what does that say... This is true faith.

$300 million TVL hasn't run away. This time, I'm not betting on coins, but on people's hearts that haven't dispersed yet. --- Another "user loyalty" story, I've heard it too many times, and the result? --- What does $300M not running away mean? It means they haven't seen through it yet or haven't lost enough; I've experienced both. --- Don't deceive yourself with "faith"; this is the sunk cost effect— the more you lose, the harder it is to sell. --- Reverse indicators tell me that such steadfastness is often the last frenzy before a bull market. --- Real mercenaries have long since run away. Those who stay? Either loyal or trapped. --- I just want to know how many of these $300M are bottom-fishing and how many are holding on.

Really, 300 million TVL is still holding on, what does that indicate... not everyone is just following the trend.
