After years of navigating the crypto world, everyone is asking the same question: why does the speed of infrastructure iteration lag so far behind the explosive growth of asset scales?



Let's look at reality. The market cap of stablecoins has long surpassed $100 billion, supporting the entire trading ecosystem of the crypto world. But here’s the problem—what about the underlying public chain infrastructure that carries these funds? The experience is terrible. What’s the most direct feeling when the bull market arrives? Either network congestion makes you doubt life, with transfers taking several hours; or you get gouged by ridiculously high Gas fees, where transferring a few tens of dollars worth of tokens can eat up more than half of the transaction fee.

Currently, most public chains are caught in a curse: everyone wants to be the next Ethereum, frantically stacking ecosystems, competing over TVL, and developing complex DeFi suites. But some projects have chosen a different path—abandoning the "big and comprehensive" narrative and instead focusing solely on "stablecoin payment and settlement." The logic is straightforward: since 90% of users enter the crypto market to trade stablecoins, and the entire network is circulating U at high frequency, why not build a chain dedicated to serving this scenario? Isn’t it better to optimize the payment and transfer experience to the extreme?

From a technical design perspective, this approach is indeed a form of dimensionality reduction. Instead of stacking parameters to tell stories, every technical choice should directly address user pain points. The result is: truly solving all the "mismatch" problems in payment scenarios.

Selling shoes and still wanting to become Nike, in the end, you can't even step on the ground. Specializing in one track is really advantageous.

Haha, that hits close to home. This group of chains that can’t even handle basic transfers, and they still boast every day about being Ethereum killers.

Basically, it's about being unable to keep up, so I might as well go back to the core idea of stablecoin payments. I respect this approach.

To be honest, this logic really moved me... Instead of constantly boasting about how grand the ecosystem is, it's better to first make the transfer process smooth.

Exactly, the Gas fee really hits hard. Previously, when transferring small coins, the transaction fee ate up 60%, what kind of experience is that?

Really, the gas fee has discouraged me many times... but there are still people who want to focus on building a solid payment chain, not engaging in those虚的 ecological narratives. This is the right path.
