Recent highlights in the Web3 project landscape:

Tempo and Arc testnets have officially launched, and Edel Finance's testnet is also following closely behind; SoundnessLabs' testnet is expected to go live soon, indicating a significant acceleration in the development of these infrastructure projects.

Lumiterra's survival season has entered its second phase, with the game ecosystem continuously evolving. Meanwhile, wallet and tool developments are also frequent—Rabby and MetaMask have both introduced points systems to encourage user participation, and RialoHQ has enhanced its Discord role management features. These initiatives reflect the project's focus on incentive mechanisms.

Backpack has opened up point incentives in the perpetual contract trading sector, intensifying competition in derivatives trading. Hylo, as a representative in the social track, is also making steady progress. The entire ecosystem demonstrates a multi-faceted development trend, from foundational layers to application layers, from tools to trading, and from cold start to incentivization.

Infrastructure projects are launching testnets one after another, it really feels like it's about to explode. --- Regarding wallet ecosystem points, I just want to see whether Rabby or MetaMask has stronger user stickiness. --- Backpack is implementing perpetual trading point incentives, is this a disguised subsidy to trading volume or are they genuinely optimistic about the derivatives track? --- The line from tools to trading is quite clear, and the entire Web3 ecosystem is gradually filling in the gaps. --- Lumiterra's second season begins. Can the survival game still attract people? It seems the popularity is declining. --- Recently, these projects are all competing over incentive mechanisms. The ecosystem activity has indeed increased, but how many are truly retained? --- Infrastructure projects are coming one after another. The social track still features the same old faces. What's the differentiation?

The infrastructure is moving all at once, but to be honest, I've been numb about the testnet launch for a long time... How many projects can truly survive? Rabby and Little Fox are implementing a points system, are they trying to force me to open my wallet every day? Fine, I'll just keep swiping. Perpetual contracts are once again competing fiercely. Backpack, are you trying to earn my entire month's salary in U tokens? Is Hylo still around... I’ve already forgotten. Looking at the thriving ecosystem, it’s really just everyone fighting for users. Whoever wins, we’ll see. The points incentive schemes for contract trading are too complicated... still trapping newcomers. This round of ecosystem evolution is basically about competing over incentive mechanisms. Whoever’s airdrop is the biggest wins. Miners have work to do again, but I won’t fall for it this time. It feels like the infrastructure isn’t stable yet, but the game is already getting competitive. Lumiterra Season 2... Is anyone still playing? My account has long been sealed away.

The hype around the infrastructure track is really intense, with testnets launching one after another... But honestly, how many of them will actually make it to the mainnet? Reward systems are everywhere, wallets are competing fiercely for incentives, it feels a bit over-competitive haha. Backpack is doing points for derivatives, let's see how user retention turns out later. This wave of ecosystem activity is indeed heating up, but the bubble feeling is also coming along. Rabby's point system is okay, but it feels like it has limited use... The overall pace is fast, but rushing can easily lead to failures. It depends on who can truly retain users. Testnets are popping up one after another, boosting ecosystem enthusiasm, but what about monetization? Is SoundnessLabs about to go live? Keep an eye on it; recently, infrastructure projects are a mixed bag. The competition in this wave of tracks is really intense; in the end, it still depends on which project can truly solve problems. Perpetual trading reward incentives, same old routine, just an upgraded version of the scam game.

Testnet launches are piling up, and it's another season of point farms... The few that can be exploited this time are okay, but it all depends on who doesn't get cooled off again due to risk control.

Infrastructure is finally showing some movement, but with so many testnets, the key is whether the mainnet launch can be stable. Are Rabby and Little Fox both stacking points? This is about boosting user engagement. I just want to see which platform's incentives won't end up being a false promise. The perpetual contract point battle has started again, and it's another round of a wool-pulling feast. Brothers, are you in or out? This rhythm looks like a big move is coming, but I just want to know when it will truly materialize. A bunch of testnets are entering the scene, it feels like the ecosystem is really moving, but the token price is still the same... Season system + point system, this combo sounds good, but it all depends on whether it can truly retain users. Tempo and Arc launching simultaneously? Is the competition this fierce? They're afraid of being outrun. Ecosystem diversification is a good thing, but it feels a bit distracting, making it harder to find high-quality projects. MetaMask is about to get competitive again, which means small wallets will have a tough time. Survival of the fittest. From the infrastructure layer to the application layer, it sounds grand, but in reality, how many are actually useful?

Another round of testnets going live? The key is to look at the capital flow. How are the VC chip distributions behind these projects? Rabby and MetaMask are implementing a points system, basically trying to attract retail users before harvesting them. I’d like to see who the counterparties are in their wallet address transactions... Perpetual contracts offering points? Uh, isn’t that just a disguised form of market making to attract liquidity? On-chain data doesn’t lie. This wave of ecosystem evolution sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just each project staking out their territory. I haven’t seen any real innovation. Fast progress on testnets ≠ products being usable. Data is the real indicator, everyone.

The infrastructure layer is finally starting to pick up, but it still feels a bit slow. --- Are Rabby and Little Fox both implementing points systems? It’s truly an arms race. --- Backpack wants a piece of the perpetual contract market, but the competition is too fierce. --- Testnets are launching one after another; the real test will be the mainnet performance. --- From tools to trading layers, the ecosystem is gradually improving. I’m optimistic about this direction. --- Wallet incentives, to put it simply, are about grabbing users. The one with more valuable points wins. --- Is Lumiterra entering its second season? The survival game concept is pretty good; it should boost the game's engagement. --- It seems the hype is heating up, but when will the real major applications appear?

Testnet is launching all at once, this pace... I need to experience it quickly. Rabby and Little Fox have both issued points, is this a land grab? Perpetual contracts are heating up, be careful not to get liquidated again. Lumiterra Season 2? I didn't understand last season. The infrastructure is indeed accelerating, but how many can really survive? This round of incentives is quite intense, feels like everyone is fighting for users. Tool wallets are now learning to issue token incentives, why didn't we think of this before? Hylo is doing social again... is this track really that popular? Derivatives trading is heating up, is this a sign of new retail investors entering? The entire ecosystem is moving from infrastructure to applications, it all depends on who can make it to the end.

Testnets are launching one after another, and the infrastructure is finally showing some signs of progress. However, whether they can truly survive depends on whose product has stronger user stickiness. MetaMask and Rabby are implementing a points system. This tactic feels a bit old... After a wave of airdrop expectations, it still comes down to the product speaking for itself. Perpetual contracts are becoming competitive again. How long can Backpack's current incentives last? Let's see if they can retain trading volume in the future. With so many people waiting in the Hylo social track, I really don't know who will be the last to laugh... By the way, is there anything particularly worth jumping on in this wave of ecosystem updates?
