Having tracked many new projects, I find that products like FightID are interesting because—although they brand themselves as Web3—they are fundamentally based on Web2 logic.
This project has quite frequent interactions with UFC, and there are many collaborative efforts on both sides. From the perspective of the combat sports vertical, it indeed has a strong fan base. After that classic meme from last year appeared, the word "Fight" also gained popularity, which definitely boosted the visibility of such projects.
However, upon closer examination of FightID's development direction, it mainly relies on the fan economy within the fighting community—celebrity effects, content stickiness, and community management. Essentially, it’s still playing the traditional fan economy game, just wrapped in a Web3 shell. The sustainability of such a project depends on how long the fan enthusiasm can be sustained.

Basically, it's a fan economy harvesting machine disguised as Web3. Once the hype fades, it's all over.

Basically, it's just a rebrand—a Web3 shell with a Web2 core. This trick has been played out long ago.

tbh this is just fanboy economics with a blockchain wrapper, right? the UFC collab is solid marketing but that's literally it—once the meme dies, so does the token velocity. well technically speaking, if your tokenomics only work when cultural momentum exists, you've basically built a ponzi with better pr

Basically, it's just a rebranding; under the name of Web3, it's still the same old fan economy tricks.
