To everyone who is diligently building on the chain:

The crypto ecosystem is often compared to a forest—chaotic, unordered, and a survival of the fittest. But from a different perspective, it’s more like a garden. In this garden, you can quickly copy others’ project logic (fork an existing protocol and go live in a few weeks), or you can spend years creating something unique from scratch.

OxMiden chose the latter. Not fast, but deeply rooted. Not flashy, but every line of code bears its own mark.

In DeFi, Layer2, or NFT spaces, this choice keeps repeating. Quick forks can survive, but true originality can last longer. The hard part isn’t moving fast; it’s doing things others haven’t thought of.

This sounds very nice, but to be honest... how many can truly stick with it? Most are still taught a lesson by the market and obediently follow, then turn around and start copying code.

nah the fork-and-pump playbook is exactly how we got this dark forest mess in the first place... real builders aren't trying to be fast, they're trying to not get sandwich attacked lol. oxmiden gets it.

Really, these days, there aren't many who can calmly focus on original work. Everyone wants to quickly freeze and move forward, but as a result, a bunch of copied and pasted stuff is everywhere. OxMiden, which takes its time to produce quality work, has become quite rare.

Taking the time to do quality work has really become competitive on the chain, but only a few can stick with it.

Forked projects go live in two weeks, which is indeed fast, but I think of it like fast food—once you're done, you're done. Projects like OxMiden that take time to develop deeply are actually more resistant to risks; no one can copy the true moat.

Choosing a deep foundation is easy to talk about but truly a test of endurance. But looking at projects like Miden gives me some confidence. --- It's not surprising that many forked projects are just garbage; the hard part is that fewer and fewer people have the patience. --- But honestly, there are quite a few projects in the ecosystem that have survived through rapid iteration, and I've also seen original projects that failed faster. --- Every line of code bears an imprint, which sounds very romantic, but when it comes to market testing, sometimes it really depends on whether you can survive to see that day. --- This is what Web3 should look like—not all quick copy-paste trash. --- Miden's approach is a gamble—betting that their ideas are worth several years of effort. Win the bet, and it becomes the next legend; lose, and it's just an unknown project.

Hey, this is what Web3 should look like—taking the time to do quality work.
