Looking at the public chain ecosystem through "Marathon + Boxing Match": rankings don't matter, continuously creating value is the ultimate goal

【Crypto World】In the annual communication, the founder of a leading exchange shared his core thoughts on the development of the public chain ecosystem.

He emphasized that the development philosophy of public chains is very pure: to provide value for true builders. Most of the time should be spent focusing on doing the work, with only a few moments to look up and observe the market competition landscape. Is it ranked first, second, or third? These are not the key points. What truly matters? It is to focus on what you are best at and continuously create tangible value.

Regarding the future expectations for the ecosystem’s scale, his view is quite interesting. The overall scale of the BNB ecosystem should ultimately surpass any single business within the ecosystem—whether it is a centralized trading platform or a DeFi protocol. This is somewhat like the relationship between NASDAQ and its listed companies: many listed companies have a market value far exceeding that of the exchange itself. The ecosystem may present a similar pattern, where the scale of the foundational layer might be smaller than a specific token project, and that is entirely possible.

BNB Chain has already achieved deep product-market fit. This is also his advice to all builders: operate with a long-term marathon mindset. But this metaphor is not just about a long run—it’s more like a hybrid of “marathon + boxing match.” You need to maintain fighting strength in a prolonged battle, persist in competition, and the ultimate key to victory is whether you can stick to it.
