Everyone involved in DeFi is pondering a question—why do some projects last ten years, while others fade away after their hype dies down?

Simply put, true competitiveness isn't about the number of features, but whether the mechanism can be trusted long-term. Clear rules, well-defined boundaries, and modular components that are easy to combine—these are the moat of DeFi projects. Projects that can turn financial capabilities into stable components allow users to handle yields, liquidity, and risks within the same logic, without having to relearn new strategies each time.

Once the foundation is stable, the ecosystem can truly thrive. Applications will dare to integrate, strategies will dare to stack, and capital efficiency will naturally improve. What accumulates is compound interest, not short-term hype. This seemingly "slow" construction pace is actually the best way to navigate market fluctuations—any significant gains come from time and the power of compounding.

If you're focusing on long-term deployment and strategy research on TRON, paying attention to foundational projects that emphasize ecosystem collaboration, observing their product iteration progress and how they coordinate with other applications, will make it easier to seize the rhythm of emerging structural opportunities.

Well said, projects that truly last long are based on this kind of logic. Here we go again, another talk about compound interest, but honestly, it's true. There aren't many of these foundational projects on TRON, so we need to filter slowly. The mechanism trust point hits the mark; trending projects are just paper-thin. The stable component approach is good, saving the hassle of readjusting each time. Slow and meticulous work, this strategy works best in a bear market. The matter of a moat is easier said than done. I've heard about compound interest countless times, but few can really wait it out.

Compound interest is really underestimated; most people are still chasing hype. Exactly right, a stable foundation is much more reliable than flashy tricks. That's why I've always been optimistic about those "quietly making big money" projects. Totally on point. By the time the market reacts, they've already accumulated something. In the TRON ecosystem, those who don't like hype and focus on collaboration are worth paying more attention to. Short-term hype is illusory; compound growth is the real knife. In terms of mechanism trustworthiness, it is indeed the key to long-term survival.

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles and personalities: 1. Exactly right, the ones who boast the most tend to die the fastest. 2. Compound interest sounds boring, but it really is the only way out... 3. The TRON ecosystem does have some foundational projects worth digging into, but patience is required. 4. The moat is just transparent rules, can't we keep it simple? 5. Short-term hype is all smoke and mirrors; I want to see projects sustain stable operation for a few years.

That's right, the foundation is the key, and those projects that chase quick gains and hype are doomed to fail. Compound interest really requires patience; most people can't endure the "boring period" and give up. The TRON ecosystem should have paid more attention to this area long ago, and it's not too late to make up for it now. Mechanism trust > marketing hype; this logic applies everywhere. Long-term value vs. short-term popularity, always a dilemma of choosing one over the other.

That's right, base-type projects are the way to go The leverage feature is not as important as building a solid foundation, this point hits home Compounding is something that relies on time accumulation, no need to rush There are indeed a few projects on TRON worth paying long-term attention to, but you need patience to watch them

Here are several comments with different styles: --- It's the old saying "slow is fast," but it does make sense. Isn't that how Uniswap has survived until now? --- Come on, all these talks still come down to finding truly steady infrastructure projects. There aren't many on TRON either. --- Compound interest, compound interest, just fooling people. The key is that the mechanism doesn't break down, right? --- This logic works especially well in a bear market. Back then, it was clear who were real projects and who were just air. --- Good points, but it seems most new projects still get stuck at the collaboration level. No matter how good the modules are, someone has to use them. --- Wait, does the foundation have to be stable for the ecosystem to thrive? I see some trash coins still bouncing around. --- The term "moat" is getting a bit tired. It's better to look at actual on-chain data for more authenticity.
