By the end of 2025, the market influence of L1 public chains remains strong.

Although narrative topics come and go, the underlying networks continue to attract user attention. Short-term hot topics change rapidly, but in the long run, those truly foundational infrastructures are the core that draws popularity. Ultimately, market focus still shifts back to these main Layer 1 public chains.

The L1 ecosystem has endured various cycle tests but has always maintained a central position in users' minds—what does this indicate? It shows that after all the flashy trends fade, whether the foundation for building applications is solid or not remains what capital and users care about most.

Infrastructure truly never goes out of style. Those flashy concepts ultimately rely on L1 to support them; otherwise, they are just castles in the air. --- Wait, is this wave again praising L1? Last year they were criticizing it, and now that it's popular, they change their tune. --- That's a valid point, but the real question is which L1 is the true foundation... that's the critical issue. --- The endless cycle of rebirth and reincarnation, and in the end, the ones that make money are always the established L1s. The new contenders are just playing catch-up. --- The underlying infrastructure is like a perpetual motion machine; no matter how much you tinker, it won't die.

Infrastructure is always the eternal truth. No matter how many Layer 2 solutions or new concepts there are, they can't compete with a stable L1. Ultimately, it's still about real strength.

Basically, it still depends on the fundamentals. Projects that hype concepts are ultimately just fleeting. L1 is like that, stable and solid. --- It's the same old story, we all know infrastructure is important, but the real question is which L1 infrastructure is truly solid? --- It's 2025 and we're still talking about L1, which has become the "eternal god" in the crypto world, but this time it seems like there's no hype. --- Uh... so should I go all in on Ethereum or Solana? Don't tell me stories about infrastructure, just tell me which one makes money. --- After all the flashy stuff, what's left is still liquidity and user base. L1s are alive, but how well they are doing is another matter. --- That's why I still stick to mainstream public chains. I really can't play the narrative game with small coins.

Oh well, it's the same old story, the idea that L1 will never go out of style. Basically, there's no real innovation, just reheating old ideas. Is the infrastructure solid? Let's see if those project teams run away or not first.

Basically, no matter how fancy the stories about meme coins are, it all comes down to whether the infrastructure can deliver. If the foundation is unstable, no matter how many applications there are, it's like building a sandcastle—this is what the cycle has taught me. Flashy things come and go quickly; only the underlying layer can survive longer... Wake up, everyone. Does it sound like we're about to start the mainnet narrative again? Feels like the same old routine this round. Everyone boasts about a thriving ecosystem, but have users really returned to L1? Or are we just a few of us hyping ourselves up?

Infrastructure is just like this; no matter how fancy the narrative, it can't beat a stable chain. L1 still needs to keep competing. --- Fanciness is just fanciness; in the end, it still depends on whose infrastructure is more solid. --- Honestly, that's why I've always been optimistic about projects that quietly build infrastructure. --- After going in circles, it still comes back to L1. This cycle is too obvious. --- A shaky foundation makes all the applications in the world useless; this logic is sound. --- Short-term hype around concepts for quick profits, but in the long run, it's still about betting on truly useful infrastructure. --- Every cycle repeats this script; the position of L1 really can't be shaken.

At the end of the day, it's that old saying: infrastructure will never become outdated. Flashy things fade away, but L1 is still standing there.

Basically, infrastructure is always king. No matter how many tricks layer 2 has, it still depends on L1 to survive. Wait, why do we always have to wait for a bear market to realize this truth? The stability of the underlying layer directly determines life or death. Stop with the superficial stuff.

Basically, it's the same old story. Infrastructure is just infrastructure. No matter how much hype you blow, it can't compare to the real deal. L1's current position is like the foundation of a house. No matter how beautiful the decoration, you need to build a solid base first. Save the hype about various new concepts. Short-term speculation is all虚假, long-term depends on who can truly retain users' minds. L1s have already proven themselves. Stop messing around. In the end, capital still only cares about whether the foundation is solid or not.

To be honest, L1 is the fundamental base, and no matter how many new concepts there are, they can't escape these old fundamentals. Infrastructure is never outdated; this logic applies everywhere. No matter how many variations there are, they all ultimately return to the underlying layer—it's truly a cyclical truth. L1 ecosystems are resilient; they can withstand any storm. That's correct—building a solid application foundation is the key, everything else is superficial. Hot topics come and go, but the stock of L1 remains forever. It feels like this is the fate of the crypto world: never escaping the grasp of a single public chain. No one can break through the underlying infrastructure; the more complete the ecosystem, the more sticky it becomes.
