Many developers transitioning from Web2 have indeed joined crypto projects because of the incentive mechanisms. Seeing months or even a year's worth of salary as token rewards, many can't help but feel tempted. However, the problem is that among these quickly attracted talents, few have long-term plans and execution capabilities for the project.



Responsible developers will leave behind documentation, write technical articles, and participate in community feedback. But most people's approach is—take the incentives and then leave. Before leaving, they might even say, "Your circle's money is really easy to make."

This reflects a real issue: the incentive mechanism itself is not wrong, but how to identify and retain developers with true commitment has become a challenge for many project teams. The distinction between short-term arbitrageurs and long-term builders is testing the maturity of the entire ecosystem.

Running after getting the tokens has long been the norm in crypto. The issue isn't about how much the incentives are, but about integrity.

Taking the token and running away with it—I've seen this happen too many times; I really can't hold back anymore.

Running off with the money is something I've seen too often. Truly dedicated developers who settle down to work are painfully few.

The crypto world is like this: there are always more scythes than chives.

It's really annoying when people take the tokens and run. Project teams need to learn how to distinguish between genuine users and others.
