Observing recent trends in the public chain sector, there's a phenomenon worth noting—certain leading public chains exhibit obvious inefficiencies in resource allocation.
Looking at comparable cases, Solana has recently gained rapid popularity. On the surface, it's supported by AI narratives, but what truly triggers the explosion are things like Claude retweeting tomato sol, ralph plugins, and similar content. What's the key? These projects already have a huge traffic base in Web2, with inherent dissemination properties, so there's no need to obsess over conceptual innovation. After integrating into the ecosystem, they can instead leverage the trend to break through and attract a large number of off-chain users. This is what we call "using a small force to move a large mass."
Now, consider the approach of some leading public chains—investing大量资源 in自主创新 concepts. The result? For an investment of 100, the return might only be 30. Many projects are mediocre, lacking genuine supporters. Ultimately, they become internal battles, with no external influence.
Where is the problem? Resource misallocation. Some targets already have over a hundred million audiences on Weibo, Douyin, TikTok, and their Baidu and Google indices are easily accessible, with search heat clearly visible. If these projects are truly developed, an investment of 100 could yield 10,000, and they could also attract loyal holders and external ecosystem benefits. But this is precisely overlooked.
Instead of spending tens of millions on advertising, it’s more effective to support projects with a shared consensus and off-chain recognition. This is a more efficient cold start strategy. The ceiling of an ecosystem often isn't in technology but in accurately identifying market consensus and resource tilting.
Once a public chain can break this deadlock through cross-sector strategies and achieve a breakthrough, the space for latecomers to catch up will be greatly compressed. The current window of opportunity may not be as abundant as imagined.

Sol truly captured the traffic secret this time; other public chains are still working behind closed doors.

Speaking thoroughly, this wave of Solana is leveraging external strength; some of our public chains are actually fighting against themselves.

SOL has indeed benefited from the Web2 boom this time, while other public chains are still hyping up concepts.

In plain terms, once you understand Solana, other public chains are still busy working on technology.

Sol's gameplay this time is truly brilliant; just riding the wave is enough.

This round of SOL is really a free win; we're still here pondering innovation.

Sol indeed captured the traffic secret this time, while other public chains are still quietly developing.
