Highlights:
Narratives, sentiment, and hype can drive short-term interest but are insufficient for long-term growth, especially in bear markets. Projects relying solely on sector narratives or extrinsic rewards may struggle in the long-term as they tend to attract fleeting users.
Projects should focus on providing real value to users through tangible benefits like strong use cases and sustainable yields. This user-centric approach keeps users engaged beyond initial hype and fosters loyalty. Ultimately, delivering meaningful value and continuous innovation ensures the longevity of individual projects and fosters a healthier, more resilient crypto market.
In this report, we highlight three non-exhaustive ways of delivering “real value”: real demand, real revenue and profit, and real yields.
Real demand is demonstrated by participants' willingness and ability to use and pay for products or services without relying on extrinsic rewards. Achieving a strong product-market fit creates intrinsic demand, enabling projects to generate enduring revenue.
Real revenue refers to the tangible income generated by a project, often from protocol fees. When combined with healthy tokenomics and low operating expenses, projects can achieve operational profitability.
Real yields in the crypto economy are generated from tangible sources of revenue, and do not rely solely on inflationary token emissions.
