I recently came across a project with a very interesting operational approach.

They didn't rush to boast about how powerful their technology upgrades are; instead, they took a reverse approach — directly throwing the most critical question to the community: "If you were to give this project a Chinese name, what would it be?"

On the surface, it's a 500U prize pool incentive, but the real trick lies in — they are looking for a symbol that users can remember long-term.

This isn't about inventing new words on a whim, nor is it about piling up complex terminology. It's about finding a name that feels natural, is easy to pronounce, and can represent the project's vibe. This approach is quite clever because the best brands are often naturally generated through community consensus.

That's amazing, this is what it means to understand operations, much more reliable than those projects that boast every day. --- With just 500U, the entire community can help you come up with a name and build consensus. This deal is really worth it. --- The key is that once a name is remembered, it's hard to forget. It's way more satisfying than spending money on advertising. --- I’m a bit interested in participating, but coming up with a name is really difficult. It feels like it might end up as a bunch of messy puns. --- Exactly, none of the successful DeFi projects are just because of a catchy name. The reverse approach is indeed fresh. --- Wait, 500U may not seem like much, but it’s about inspiring creativity while building a sense of ownership. It’s high-level. --- But honestly, it still depends on the follow-up actions. Coming up with a good name is just the beginning. --- This operation reminds me of some DAO governance models; the whole feeling is completely different.

Amazing, this is the right way. Much smarter than those projects that boast about their technical prowess every day. Speaking of naming, it really can determine life or death. A good name can make people remember it at a glance. 500U is nothing; exchanging for the participation and recognition of the entire community, this deal is worth it.

This strategy is indeed clever. Handing over the naming rights to the community actually makes it easier to break out of the circle. --- The 500U prize pool looks small, but it's truly about building consensus. I get it now. --- Instead of coming up with a stiff name yourself, it's better to let users claim it themselves. That way, there's a sense of belonging. --- Honestly, this is much more reliable than those projects that boast about their technology every day. --- A brand is never created solely by the operations team; it's shouted out by the community together. --- Feeling a bit interested in participating, but are these kinds of activities all about intense competition? --- Reverse operation, reverse operation. It's really just about returning to common sense. --- The biggest worry is that the final chosen name might not be very recognizable, and that would be awkward.

This move is indeed interesting, much more comfortable than those self-indulgent technical whitepapers.

This is true community operation, much better than those who just boast about technology every day. The 500U prize pool is just a cover; the key is to let users participate in naming, so that they feel a sense of belonging once the name is chosen. Wait, are they trying to get us to do their branding work? Haha. Actually, this move is really clever. Names suggested by users will definitely be more memorable than those created by consulting firms at a high cost. But it depends on whether the community's opinions will actually be adopted in the end, or if they'll just change it themselves later. Oh, if I participate, I would definitely come up with a pun or a play on words, hahaha. This is what is called the DAO spirit, where decision-making power is decentralized to the community. Honestly, compared to those lofty fundraising news, I am more interested in this kind of gameplay.

Haha, this move is indeed brilliant. Instead of bragging about technology, they ask for the name, turning users into co-conspirators. --- The 500U prize pool is just a facade; the real profit comes from the sense of ownership. Once people participate in naming, they have to hold on. --- It's a bit like the feeling of Dogecoin back in the day; the most down-to-earth ones tend to last the longest. --- This is more effective than stacking whitepapers; choosing the right name can spread for ten years. --- I think it's workable. When the community comes up with the name themselves, it's easier to reach a consensus than the official top-down approach. --- Basically, it's making retail investors feel like they are part of the project team—psychology at play. --- I understand this trick: the more involved users feel, the less willing they are to sell. --- But it still depends on whether the follow-up is reliable; a good name can't save a bad project. --- Clever, first capturing users' minds before focusing on technology—upgrading the strategy.

I like this approach, much more reliable than those projects that boast every day. --- Naming is essentially about building brand recognition, very skillful. --- 500U incentives are not much, but they can indeed filter out community members who truly care. --- This is what we call reverse marketing; smart people all understand it. --- The worst is when the project team names it themselves, often resulting in a flop. --- Wait, isn't this just using the community for free mental labor? Haha. --- I think this approach is a hundred times more reliable than fundraising and issuing tokens.
