Many trading protocols are caught up in the rat race of chasing hot topics and fabricating narratives, but you'll find some projects are taking a completely different approach.

StandX is one such example. It didn't rush to create concepts or hype up popularity; instead, it focused its main efforts on system stability, capital efficiency, and user retention—things that don't seem as glamorous. In the short term, this approach may not generate much public buzz and can easily be drowned out by various marketing noises. But in reality, for a trading protocol, these fundamentals are often the most valuable—only by solidifying these can it survive longer in the brutal market competition.

This is the right way. I really don't understand why so many projects insist on riding the hot topics and creating concepts every day. StandX may seem dull, but I think it's the kind that lasts the longest. Solid fundamentals are truly more valuable than any marketing story; it all depends on who can hold out until the end. Wait, how come some projects are still fabricating narratives... That's really incredible. If stability is well established, retention will naturally follow, right? By the way, how many projects are genuinely concerned with fundamentals now? It feels like they're all betting on the next bull market. I'm still optimistic about those projects that are patient and meticulous, taking the time to refine.

Solid work is the key, but these days, how many projects can really focus on doing the basics well? I like the approach of StandX; it may indeed suffer short-term losses and easily get buried under projects that shout concepts every day. In the long run, stability and user retention are the real gold and silver. Those marketing gimmicks will eventually be exposed. Projects that are not impatient are indeed rare; most are busy with story packaging. This approach is cold, but it lasts a long time. It seems StandX has thought it through.

I just like projects that make big money quietly; the marketing tricks are already tired. --- Stability and retention are the true moat; when others are hyping concepts, they've already lost. --- StandX's approach is right; not following the trend means not following the trend. Sooner or later, they'll surpass those who release press releases every day. --- Honestly, doing basic work is boring to death, but that's how you survive the longest. The market will speak. --- Being drowned out by noise? That's good, it means no one has copied it yet. Let's wait for the right moment. --- Many projects engage in internal competition and marketing, but some quietly focus on solid product development—long-term winners. --- Getting capital efficiency right is the key; everything else is superficial. --- Projects that don't chase hype are actually the most dangerous; they quietly take over the market.

Ha, finally someone said it. Three years ago, I was wondering why those projects that constantly shout about concepts are still alive, and I found that the ones that truly survive are those who work quietly behind the scenes. I like the operation of StandX, but it's too underrated and easily overlooked.

Really, compared to those who jump on hot topics every day, it's still reassuring when people focus on building solid products. --- These days, projects that dare not do marketing are indeed rare, but it's precisely because they are rare that they are valuable. --- Basically, it's a choice between long-term and short-term; some people just want to cut leeks with stories. --- I've heard "solid fundamentals" too many times, but few can really stick to it. --- Projects that don't hype up popularity are indeed more likely to suffer in this market, but the ones that last the longest are often these. --- I just want to know how StandX's actual data looks; anyone can talk empty words. --- In a way, this is reverse operation—using humility to highlight those who are restless. --- Stability is more valuable than concepts; this is a lesson learned by those who have been taught by the market.
