Looking at the current market attitude towards new public chains or scaling solutions, one can understand a key issue—patience is truly gone. Projects that once had a grand start are quickly forgotten. Why is that? Frankly, most projects only tell stories and do marketing, without truly understanding the pain points of users and developers.

The emergence of solutions like Plasma is a direct response to this problem. Instead of immediately hyping up the buzz, they focus on solid fundamentals such as performance, cost, and usability. This approach may seem like "quietly making big gains," but it is this pragmatic attitude that makes it possible to build infrastructure capable of long-term operation.

Tokens (like XPL) here are not just price targets. They are the core part of the entire network's incentive layer and operational logic—without them, the network's security, participation, and sustainability would all be compromised.

The market is now undergoing a shift from simply chasing "concepts" to focusing on "real-world implementation." For these scaling solutions, short-term fluctuations are not the main concern; what matters is whether they can continuously attract genuine users and applications. The true value of an ecosystem is always reflected in repeated use and validation, not in the K-line movements at a specific moment.
