The foundation of Web3 success rests on three interconnected pillars worth examining carefully.
First, infrastructure has become a commodity. As blockchain networks mature and Layer 2 solutions proliferate, the underlying technical architecture is no longer a competitive moat—it's a baseline requirement. Projects compete not on whether they have infrastructure, but on how efficiently it operates and integrates across ecosystems.
Second, user experience is copyable. Once a winning UX pattern emerges—whether it's wallet integration, transaction flow, or interface design—competitors can replicate it almost instantly. What's harder to copy is consistency, speed of iteration, and genuine problem-solving.
Third, asset creation equals power. The ability to mint, distribute, and govern digital assets determines who controls value capture and community engagement. This is where true differentiation lives—in economic design, tokenomics, and the rights holders actually get.
These three truths reshape how we should evaluate blockchain projects and their long-term viability.

Basically, tokenomics is the key, everything else is just superficial.

Selling infrastructure as a commodity? Ha, now it's all about tokenomics. Having just the tech stack won't get you through the next bear market.

Basically, it's a contest to see who designs a more ruthless economic model, even though the infrastructure is everywhere.

Infrastructure is already at bargain prices; now it's a contest of who has the more aggressive tokenomics design.

Basically, infrastructure is no longer impressive; now it's a matter of whether the tokenomics can outshine the competitors.
