Recently, practitioners returning from tech expos mentioned an interesting phenomenon—the solid sense of grounding when standing in front of a real product demonstration stage. Over the past few years, this feeling has been almost absent at major crypto conferences.

This contrast struck a nerve with many people. Watching the technological innovation narrative in the crypto space become increasingly weak, while being overwhelmed by scams of quick-profit projects and low-quality tokens, has left many exhausted. Practitioners are anxious about the stagnation of the narrative and also tired of the short-sighted trends within the ecosystem.

In comparison, those projects with real application scenarios and tangible products instead give people a sense of stable confidence. This perhaps also indicates that what the crypto ecosystem truly needs is not just louder concepts, but more grounded, tangible things that can be seen and touched.
