Looking at XPL's recent movements, the project team hasn't been overhyping but instead focusing on foundational optimization and tool iteration. There are many discussions about the price in the community, but what truly matters is another aspect—whether ecological applications can truly run smoothly and whether developers remain actively engaged. These are the key factors that determine how far a project can go. If on-chain activity gradually increases, development tools become more user-friendly, and ecological applications generate real user demand, then XPL's fundamentals will be much more solid than just storytelling. Of course, this process requires time to verify, but based on the current pace, the direction is correct.

tbh the real question isn't whether devs stick around—it's whether the infrastructure actually holds up under load. seen too many chains optimize for marketing and tank on basic throughput

Rooted in building tools, projects that don't hype are truly impressive. Honestly, they're much more reliable than those who just tell stories every day. --- Whether developers are active or not is the key; the price discussion has become old news. --- The real question is when the ecosystem applications will truly take off. It's still a bit uncertain. --- Wow, the underlying optimization is done meticulously. This is the kind of work that should be prioritized. --- I'm just worried it might be another empty promise; we need to see on-chain data in six months to be convinced. --- Honestly, I appreciate this steady and pragmatic approach, but we still need to keep observing. --- The idea that ecosystem applications generate real demand makes sense, but do they exist now? --- Compared to just telling stories, this pragmatic attitude is indeed more comfortable. --- Are development tools becoming more user-friendly? If that's true, it’s worth paying attention to. --- It's still the usual focus on fundamentals and on-chain activity. When will we see actual applications?

Rooted in the underlying layer? I've heard this phrase too many times. The key is whether developers will truly stay, which is the true test of the mechanism design.

Rooted optimization is a common phrase, but there are very few projects that truly make development tools user-friendly. --- No matter how lively the price discussions get, it’s useless if there are no developers actually building. --- Agreed, if the ecosystem applications don’t work, everything is pointless. I don’t want to see those projects that only tell stories anymore. --- No rush now, let’s take our time. Anyway, time will prove everything. --- It’s good to optimize the underlying layer, but I’m worried it’s just PPT optimization again. --- I believe that on-chain activities and real user demand are more reliable indicators than market cap figures.

Rooted in making tools, I agree, but talking about developer activity is easy, doing it is hard. --- Real user needs? Don't be funny. How many real needs are there on the chain that aren't just hype? --- When prices go up, of course they hype it; when they fall, they start telling stories. Anyway, the words are all worn out. --- Anyone can talk about underlying optimization, but the key is whether they can retain people. That's the real test. --- Wait, don't just wait for time to pass for the ecosystem applications to run smoothly. How is the current activity level? --- But speaking honestly, projects that do things without marketing are indeed rare. That's still worth looking forward to. --- Good developer tools are a prerequisite. Without that, everything else is pointless. Hope XPL really put in the effort here. --- It's still too early to say if the direction is right. Let's wait for the data to speak.

Well, fundamentals are the hard truth; hype and hype schemes are long outdated. --- Developer activity speaks louder than price, this hits the core. --- Projects that do real work are indeed easily overlooked, but they all manage to survive in the end. --- Only when the toolchain is improved can the ecosystem truly thrive. We're still in the early stages, right? --- Instead of watching price fluctuations, it's better to track on-chain data. The difference in long-term thinking is huge. --- Agreed, there are many projects that tell stories, but few that truly take root and get things done. --- Growth in on-chain activity, maturity of development tools... these indicators are more reliable than any announcements. --- I like this low-key pace, it shows the team is really focused on the product. --- The problem is, how can ordinary users judge whether the ecosystem has genuine demand? Information asymmetry is an issue. --- Rooted and steady optimization sounds honest, but this approach is the slowest to stand out. Patience is needed.

Rooting at the grassroots level may sound simple, but it's deadly to actually do. However, judging by XPL's recent pace, at least they haven't followed the trend of blowing bubbles, which in itself is worth praising.
