Traffic volume, engagement metrics, community size—these are surface-level indicators.
But here's what actually matters: when solid products integrate into the broader ecosystem, those numbers evolve into something far more powerful.
Attention transforms into momentum. Users beget more users. Value compounds.
It's the classic network effect—a self-perpetuating cycle where adoption fuels adoption.
We're already seeing this momentum build across Web3. The flywheel is spinning, and it's just getting started.

I've heard the concept of network effects too many times. The question is, who is controlling this flywheel's direction? You need to look at on-chain capital flows to determine.

Well... to put it simply, early users are the real deal, while later users are just eating leftovers.

That's true, but the real test is whether the product can survive the bear market.
