Instead of beating around the bush, it's better to be straightforward—some leading exchanges have long seen through their methods. They don't really focus on independent innovation; they just wait for the market to validate new gameplay, then sit back and reap the benefits. Once a certain model is proven successful, they turn around and have their related projects copy it, saving time and effort.

Look at what they've done: Aster directly copies HypeLiquid's setup, FourMeme forcefully replicates PumpFun's model, and Opinion is even more direct, just taking Polymarket's approach and using it. This isn't innovation incubation; it's standard "copying homework." These projects within their ecosystem are more like photocopiers than innovators.

This approach will either completely dominate the market or be left behind by the times. Relying solely on others' trial and error, and only copying, how much long-term competitiveness can such an ecosystem really have?

It's already been copied to this extent, and you still dare to call it an ecosystem? You're bound to crash sooner or later.

Is that it? Just copy it if you want. As long as it makes money, who cares about pretending to be innovative?

Just copy it if you want, but the key is whether you can make it look good. The current problem is that the copy doesn't even match the original, and that's what's embarrassing.

Just copy it, the key is whether it's useful or not. Copying and pasting also requires skill.

To be honest, this is a typical win-by-lying logic... Wait for others to figure it out and then copy, low risk and indeed satisfying, but it's just not interesting. Making money is making money, but such an ecosystem is doomed to not go far; it will be rolled over sooner or later.

Copying is copying, but at least it can make money—that's the most heartbreaking part.

Copying isn't a big deal; the key is whether you can make money after copying.

Just copy it, anyway most projects do it this way, they just do it more directly.

Copying homework so blatantly, truly impressive. Waiting for others to explore the way while sitting back to reap the benefits, short-term gains are fine, but in the long run, it all depends on who dies first.
