Every ecosystem will ultimately be driven by returns — this is an inevitable trend for the future. Whether it is liquidity mining, staking rewards, or other innovative incentive mechanisms, returns will become the core engine to attract users and promote ecosystem activity. We have already seen this model accelerating in adoption. The future is here; let's witness this transformation of the ecosystem together. 🚀

Hmm... Let me look at the data. The "profit-driven" approach is theoretically correct, but in actual operations, how long is the profit decay cycle? One year? Two years? Many projects can't even last until the ecosystem truly matures. There's a misconception here: profit is essentially a depletion of future traffic, not a perpetual motion machine. From an engineering perspective, the design space for incentive mechanisms is actually quite limited.

It depends on whether the project team is willing to give; real money isn't so easy to cut.

That's correct, but the returns can only attract short-term players. The true ecosystem development depends on the product itself.

The "profit-driven" approach has become tiresome; those that can truly survive are projects with real applications. Relying solely on mining incentives ultimately leads to a game of hot potato.

The idea of yield-driven approaches has become tiresome; ultimately, it depends on how long the project team can sustain it. I've seen too many high APY projects end up in complete failure.

Profit-driven sounds good, but when the coin price drops, this incentive system collapses. I've seen too many projects rely on mining hype to prosper, and a single downturn can wipe them out completely.
