The startup ecosystem is experiencing a fundamental shift. More and more projects are launching on distributed platforms, and we're witnessing the birth of emerging success stories across the Web3 space. The competitive landscape is evolving rapidly—the era of pure PvP mechanics is gradually fading, replaced by a new paradigm where investors are building diversified portfolios focused on early-stage ventures with genuine growth potential.
This marks a crucial turning point in how the community evaluates opportunities. Traditional metrics are losing their grip. Rather than fixating on quick 20% or 30% portfolio gains, sophisticated participants are increasingly focused on what truly matters: 20% to 30% month-over-month user base expansion and sustainable MRR growth. It's a maturation of investment thesis—from speculation to fundamentals, from short-term PnL to long-term ecosystem value creation. Projects demonstrating authentic user adoption and revenue sustainability are commanding the attention.

It sounds good, but there are still too few investors with this kind of awareness. Most are still betting on the next 100x coin.

It sounds good, but the projects that can truly accomplish it are few and far between.

A 30% monthly increase in user base? Sounds good, but the projects that can actually achieve this are few and far between... Most are just making up stories.

Real user adoption is the key, much more reliable than those inflated numbers.

Here we go again with this rhetoric... Real MRR growth isn't that easy to achieve. After all, it's still a bunch of worthless tokens.
