In 2023, the reactions within the community divided into two camps. One side said this was just Web2.5 and hadn't really looked into it; the other side outright stated that the team was too small and couldn't handle this kind of thing.

But we still made it happen. Interestingly, mainstream chains like Solana and Base have also begun to focus on super apps and mini apps. After four years of accumulation, someone is finally starting to see the potential.

We have always maintained the same belief: starting from social networks, evolving into payment networks, and then... this story is still being written.

Now that the main chain has started to follow the super application trend, where are the people who mocked it back then? --- A small team sticking to it for four years and achieving this is honestly much more reliable than big companies bragging. --- Switching from social to payments was a path that should have been explored long ago. Finally, the direction is clear. --- Are the doubts from 2023 still around? It's time to prove them wrong. --- But honestly, the key is how to extend from here. What's next after payments?

Haha, the group of trash talkers from before are probably feeling embarrassed now. Solana is already copying your homework.

Hmm, this logic is quite interesting. Those who were bearish back then should be pretty embarrassed now. Four years of sharpening the sword is indeed tough, but I still have some reservations about the payment network. The story of switching from social to payments is indeed easy to tell, but it depends on whether it can truly be implemented later. This group of chains has also started copying others haha, indicating that the direction is correct.

Damn, do those people who said Web2.5 back then still feel proud now? It's been four years, and finally Solana and others are catching up. The route from social to payments really has some potential. Let's keep watching.

Yes, yes, yes. Those voices back then were really harsh, but now they've been proven wrong. --- Small teams have their own flexibility; not everything has to rely on a large-scale manpower strategy. --- No one saw clearly the path from social to payments, but now finally some blockchains are starting to follow the trend. --- Four years, that’s a real test of resilience... But even Solana has seen it, which shows we’re definitely on the right track. --- Web2.5? That’s hilarious. This is basically the current state of Web3. --- The key is that the story isn’t over yet; there are still more acts to come, and I’m a bit excited. --- Small teams respond faster; big companies with lots of people can’t think that far ahead. --- The logic of entering the payment network through social is very clear. How come no one thought of it? --- Honestly, the doubters back then didn’t blame anyone; they just couldn’t see clearly. Now the results speak for themselves. --- That’s called persistence. Truly ruthless.
