Looking at the development of ecosystem projects like Base and Zora, I have to ask—how did these things become so popular? From the ecosystem expansion of a major exchange, this wave of ecosystem narratives has indeed attracted many developers and users to rush in. But upon closer examination, from infrastructure to application implementation, does the entire logical chain really hold up? No matter how compelling the Web3 story is, ultimately it still depends on real applications and user retention.

Remember, when losing money, it's crucial to stay clear-headed. Base is indeed building momentum, but user retention is the real test. --- After falling for so long, it's time to look at things from a different angle - behind the ecological fervor, opportunities are being nurtured, and patient waiting is a virtue. --- To be honest, no matter how great Zora's narrative is, without real user retention, it's all for nothing. I've experienced this too many times. --- Another day of being taught by the market, but those who can discern the true and false ecosystems will eventually be reborn like a phoenix. --- Seeing through the project's authenticity in the bottom range is worth more than blindly FOMOing. --- No matter how well the Web3 story is told, I only look at DAU and real interactions; the rest are just suckers' harvesting machines. --- Whether this wave of ecological expansion is an opportunity or a bubble, those who traverse the cycles will naturally see through it.

It sounds like the storytelling is really smooth, but the number of people who actually stay and use it is pitifully small.

Really, Base's marketing campaign is awesome, but the question is, what about the retention rate?

Talking nicely is useless now; who doesn't know how to spin a story? The key is to keep people engaged.

To be honest, these ecosystems are just supported by stories now, and there are very few applications that can truly settle down.

tbh the whole "ecosystem narrative" thing is just cope dressed up in infrastructure jargon... Base went from zero to hype in like 3 months and yeah devs flooded in but actually? most of them are just chasing airdrops again. seen this movie before, gas gone wrong pt. 5. user retention is basically nonexistent outside the ponzi-adjacent stuff ngl

Starting to hype the Base ecosystem again. Basically, it's the popularity generated by Coinbase spending money. Once the subsidies are gone, let's see who still plays.

Looking at on-chain data makes it clear that the fund flows within the Base ecosystem cannot withstand scrutiny. The abnormal transaction patterns of early token holder addresses have long revealed clues, but most people haven't realized it yet.
