Building a sustainable dapp ecosystem really hinges on two critical pieces:
First, you need actual revenue sharing with developers and value creators built into the protocol itself. Without it, you'll just watch an endless stream of fork-alikes spring up and disappear—there's no real incentive structure keeping builders invested long-term.
Second, the infrastructure has to be genuinely decentralized. We're still treating many so-called Web3 solutions like conventional platforms—just wrapping existing centralized tools under a crypto label. True on-chain development requires real decentralized services for building dapps, not this layer of pretend decentralization.

That's right, it's just a bunch of fake Web3 rebrands.

In plain terms, most dApps nowadays are just pretending to be Web3, but at their core, they're still the same centralized stuff.

At the end of the day, it's just two words: profit sharing and true decentralization. Right now, many projects are just putting a Web3 shell on top, but deep down, they're still the same centralized approach. What are they launching?

Exactly right. These projects are just doing centralized things under the guise of Web3. I really can't stand it.

That's very true. Currently, a bunch of pseudo-Web3 projects are just putting a coin shell around centralized tools to deceive naive investors.

Basically, right now, many projects are in a Schrödinger's "decentralization" state, and very few actually distribute tokens to developers.
Sincerely sharing, I think these two points really hit the nail on the head. Web3 is now full of rebranded stuff, and building a good ecosystem might be much more difficult than we imagine.

ngl, we're still talking about revenue sharing. The problem is, how many protocols have actually achieved it? Most of them are just nonsense.
