Interesting phenomenon: many public chains chase trending features, stacking new functionalities to attract attention. But Arbitrum is taking a different path — it is busy defining what constitutes "standard operation."
That's the difference. In the short term, new features easily attract attention. But in the long run, what truly changes the ecosystem are the usages that gradually become industry standards. What Arbitrum is doing is precisely this invisible but far-reaching work — through ecosystem development, making certain best practices the new default industry norms.
This role of "setting rules" is far more valuable than chasing the latest trends.

This is what players do best—setting the rules is much better than following the trend.

I've seen this trick before. Without short-term traffic, you'll be forgotten by the market. The real question is how long ARB can hold on with this move.
Standardization sounds impressive, but on-chain data speaks for itself. Right now, it's still a hot new concept.
Setting rules requires influence. Does ARB have enough weight? We need to backtest historical data on this.

To be honest, this is what player mentality is all about. While others are playing mahjong, Arbitrum is building a mahjong parlor.

This is what true players' mindset looks like; not following the trend makes you a winner.

Arb is playing a big game. While others are busy showing off their muscles, it's laying the groundwork.

This approach is indeed clear-headed; setting rules is much more straightforward than riding the wave of hot topics.
