The essence of ecosystem building has never been about the hype of a single event, but whether the "growth flywheel" can continue to operate sustainably.

The reason why a leading public chain DAO can establish a firm foothold is because it has turned cooperation ecology, infrastructure, and application iteration into a steady rhythm. As the entry points become more abundant, the experience becomes smoother, and new applications keep emerging, users naturally stay engaged. Resources also flow continuously to the teams that are truly building, driving the next round of iteration. This creates a virtuous cycle.

What does this mean for participants? Opportunities become more coherent and easier to predict. You no longer need to chase the hottest narratives every day to have a chance; instead, you can follow the direction of the ecosystem and find your place amid the waves of infrastructure upgrades and application expansion.

The earlier you see what the ecosystem is supporting, what it truly needs, and what is currently lacking, the easier it is to prepare before changes arrive and to stand in the right position. If you want to collaborate long-term with a more stable and certain ecosystem, it’s worth continuously observing the iteration rhythm and cooperation trends of such DAOs. The sense of direction in the ecosystem often signals the best opportunities.

Well said, but reality is often harsh. Those ecosystems that promote a "steady rhythm" still have to rely on fundraising to get through when real money is needed.

Sounds good, but it just makes me think of those "ecological construction" slogans from a few years ago... And the result? A death spiral just as fast.

You're right. Those still chasing hot topics and narratives need to wake up. The flywheel logic is what the long-term survivors are playing with. --- A stable flywheel ecosystem is different. Resources automatically flow to the teams that are actually doing the work. I want to be part of this virtuous cycle. --- Certainty > Popularity. Keep this in mind. Only by understanding what the ecosystem lacks can you make money. --- Not chasing hot topics is actually more comfortable. Climbing along with the ecosystem's rhythm is much easier than chasing narratives every day. --- So, instead of howling in the community, it's better to quietly observe which DAO's iteration pace is the most stable. --- The growth flywheel theory should have been popularized long ago, so people wouldn't still be chasing air projects. --- Rich entry points, smooth experience, continuous applications... This is truly a moat, not something you can boast about in one sentence. --- The earlier you position yourself in the wave of infrastructure upgrades, the better. Don't miss this wave of dividends.

This is what truly farsighted players should do—stop obsessing over trending topics and riding the hype wave. --- Exactly, rather than following the crowd, we should see clearly what the ecosystem is missing. --- I've heard a lot about the growth flywheel theory, but how many have actually put it into motion? --- The problem is that most are still betting on the next narrative and haven't considered long-term support. --- Maintaining a steady pace is easy to say, but actually doing it tests a DAO's resolve. --- That's reasonable. Ecosystems with many tasks but few resources are destined not to go far. --- Preemptive positioning is indeed more reliable than waking up late to cut the leeks, but it's easier to say than to do, brother. --- In the end, it's about finding projects that, although not hot, are seriously laying the groundwork. --- Infrastructure requires large investments and long cycles, no wonder many DAOs prefer to focus on marketing activities. --- Good point, but the question is, who can distinguish what is genuine development and what is false prosperity?

That's right, a true ecosystem operates on this kind of logic, not supported by hype activities. Once this growth flywheel starts turning, it's really hard to break. --- The flywheel is simple to explain, but sticking with it is the real challenge. Most projects fail in the first two rounds. --- So ultimately, it still depends on whether the team is truly building; everything else is superficial. --- Those who identified the ecosystem's shortcomings early on should be the ones earning the most comfortably now, without blindly following the trend. --- Instead of constantly chasing narratives, it's better to focus on what the infrastructure is actually doing—more practical.
