After years of mixing in the crypto space, I’ve come to understand one thing: Whether a public chain can succeed or not, it doesn’t matter how sky-high your TPS numbers are. The technical architecture is just a framework—the real drivers of a vibrant ecosystem are content and use cases.

Look at those dead chains; didn’t all of them hype up their technical specs? In the end, nothing meaningful was developed on them and users abandoned ship.

So now, when I look at projects, I don’t care about the number games in the whitepaper. I focus on just one thing: what can actually be built on this chain. Lately, I’ve been looking into Soneium, the one developed by Sony Block Solutions. Why am I paying attention to it?

Well said, no matter how high the TPS is, it's just for show. Ultimately, it's about the ecosystem; a chain without an ecosystem is just an empty shell.

Exactly right, technical specifications are just a facade; in the end, it all depends on what can be played within the ecosystem.

Exactly, no matter how high the TPS is, if the ecosystem is empty, it's useless. I'm already tired of this technical hype.

Absolutely right, technical specifications are just talk on paper, it's the ecosystem that truly matters.

Absolutely right. Those projects bragging about TPS are dying off really fast. Ecosystem is key—no matter how impressive a chain is, without real use cases, it's just a paper tiger.

nah, this hits different. all those dead chains had the recipes but nobody was actually cooking in the kitchen, you know? tps metrics are just plating—the real flavor comes from what actually simmers on the chain.

Absolutely right, those projects hyping up TPS should have faded out long ago. Ecosystem is what really matters.

Absolutely right, no one cares if the TPS ceiling is hyped up to 10 million if there are no users—it amounts to nothing. Look at Solana’s recent surge, it’s because their ecosystem has everything: NFTs, trading, gambling games popping up everywhere, full dopamine rush. Tech specs are like bolts on a rocket—no matter how precise, without fuel it’s not going anywhere. I’m also watching this Soneium move; with Sony’s backing at least we know it’s not a vaporware chain. Now it’s just a matter of seeing if it can incubate a killer app.

You're absolutely right, the ecosystem is key. No matter how advanced the technology is, it still needs users.
