After spending a long time in Web3, you'll notice a pattern:

Those who initially shout "disrupt everything" often don't survive more than two bull and bear markets.
On the contrary, those who work quietly and take one step at a time have become the cornerstone of supporting the ecosystem in the end.
In recent years, I have been keeping an eye on @Aptos, @PythNetwork, @NEARProtocol.
They do not rely on gimmicks to grab attention, nor do they take speculative shortcuts; instead, they use technology, ecology, and users to gradually lay a solid foundation.
In the period when the bubble bursts, this steady and steady approach is the true rarity.

@Aptos
Raised $350 million in financing, backed by a16z and PayPal.
Parallel execution enhances throughput and security, with on-chain addresses exceeding 2.5 million and daily active peak surpassing 150,000.
Franklin Templeton and BlackRock have put their assets on the blockchain.
@PythNetwork
Focusing on decentralized oracles, providing data directly from 120+ institutions.
Providing prices for over 35 chains, tens of millions of users, and hundreds of DeFi protocols weekly, covering assets worth 15.2 billion dollars.
Collaborate with Revolut to seamlessly integrate traditional finance with on-chain data.
@NEARProtocol
$215 million in funding, $800 million ecological fund.
Focusing on ease of use and multi-chain interoperability, there are over 32 million on-chain accounts, with a daily active peak of 500,000.
Ecosystem projects like Sweat Economy and Ref Finance have strong user loyalty.
Common characteristics

Strong capital strength behind, not lacking in resources.
Differentiated technical routes, each with core advantages.
Users and the ecosystem are genuinely taking action, not just making empty promises.
Can serve institutions, Web3 users, and developers at the same time.

Possible patterns in the future:
@Aptos：机构金融资产链上化的领跑者
@PythNetwork: Multi-chain DeFi data standard
@NEARProtocol: The scale of ecological users continues to expand.
