How can a project be considered reliable? Many people's first reaction is to look at the size of the funding round. But frankly, this approach itself is problematic.

What truly matters? Is whether the project has built a genuine consensus and belief. Investors, the community, and builders—are they truly aligned with this direction? The strength of this conviction often has a greater impact on the project's long-term vitality than the amount of funding raised.

There's also a detail that is easily overlooked—the name. The naming of a project may seem trivial, but it actually reflects the team's understanding of branding. Projects with random names often also reveal a neglect of attention to detail.

Take the term "Dark Horse" as an example. In investment and talent evaluation, what does a dark horse represent? It signifies outstanding individuals who stand out from thousands, and the potential for an underestimated project to make a comeback. If a project can find a name with such connotations and resonance, it usually indicates that the team has ideas, taste, and knows what signals they want to send to the market. These details all subtly hint at a project's potential and attitude.
