The real compounding happens after TGE. When development teams stay focused and ship consistently, growth follows the product roadmap—not market hype cycles. Teams that nail this pattern tend to win long-term: they keep heads down, prioritize execution, maintain steady momentum. You see it with projects that resist the noise. They don't chase every trend or pump cycle. Instead, they build infrastructure, ship features, engage community meaningfully. It takes discipline. The projects that thrive in bear markets are the ones executing when attention is scarce. That's when genuine product-market fit emerges. Hype fades fast. Shipping ships products.
