Some projects in the crypto space are being judged all wrong. People focus on who's backing them or their status, but that's missing the whole point. What actually matters? Real work, solid execution, tangible progress. When you screen projects this way instead, you realize how many promising builders are flying under the radar. It's creating a dilution problem for the entire ecosystem—good projects get overlooked, hype gets channeled into the wrong places. Look at teams like tomato and redwood actually shipping things. Real momentum only builds when there's substance behind it. That's the difference between sustainable growth and noise.

To be honest, the fundraising background can easily dazzle people, but it's the small teams that are actually doing the work that are the real winners.

Well said, the background and halo are all illusions; it all depends on whether they can really deliver something. There are indeed too many projects that cut leeks in the market; a funding announcement can be hyped for a long time, but in the end? Nothing. Projects like tomato and redwood that quietly do the work actually get less attention, this ecosystem is truly sick.

NGL, this kind of argument sounds comfortable, but in reality? Most people still have to follow the money, there's no way around it.

Nah, really, there are too many people in the community blindly following the trend. It all depends on who raises more funds and who has more fame. Actually delivering the product is what no one pays attention to, which is ridiculous.

That's right. There are too many projects in the community that boast about their background, while those actually doing the work are ignored.
