Regarding River, my view is actually not closely related to short-term popularity—I started following it at the end of S2 and have experienced the full cycles of S3 and S4, gaining deep insights into its product evolution.

The key early on was whether they could execute the plan; now is the real test—whether this thing can survive in the ecosystem.

From the underlying mechanism of Omni-CDP to the stablecoin solution of satUSD, plus the subsequent staking incentive mechanism and cross-chain integration, River is clearly not taking a hype route. Every step involves genuinely integrating new features into the system, layer by layer stacking functionalities.

This approach is very calm, but it’s precisely the hardest path—requiring solid product design and continuous iteration to prove itself. If it can't rally a market, it can only sustain itself through practical applications.

This is the real way to live; not chasing quick money is actually more frightening.

The product stacking is so meticulous that it is more likely to be overlooked... the real test is still to come.

Really, from S2 to now, River's strategy has been about quietly making big profits. Every day stacking features without bragging, just waiting to see if they can survive in the long run. But honestly, not being able to move the market is indeed a disadvantage. Even the strongest products need users. This path is too difficult; most projects have already chosen to hype up. Let's wait and see the results of ecosystem integration. If the stablecoin + cross-chain combination can break through, that would be awesome.

Really, River has taken a very hardcore path. Without real skills, you simply can't hold on. --- Looking at S2 to S4, only this kind of down-to-earth attitude towards product development is truly reliable. --- No hype, no blackening. Projects that survive in the ecosystem never rely on stories. --- Talking about stacking features is easy, but very few can actually be implemented... River is one of them. --- Projects without hot topics or breaking financial reports actually inspire more trust. --- I'm just worried that suddenly starting to hype up the market later on would be truly embarrassing. --- Omni-CDP to satUSD to cross-chain—this rhythm I like, solid and steady. --- Surviving doesn’t mean thriving; River still needs to prove itself. --- Honestly, compared to those projects that introduce three new concepts a day, this kind of focus is quite rare.
