Different launchpad strategies are emerging in the market right now. One is focused on bundler economics with aggressive 5-second hold incentives—clearly chasing volume and quick capital rotation. The other is taking a builder-first approach, emphasizing real on-chain utility and genuine use cases. This kind of competitive pressure is exactly what the ecosystem needs. We're seeing too many projects that are just buzzwords without substance—AI this, AI that, but nothing meaningful under the hood. A proper hackathon competition between these models could force everyone to step up. It's time to reward actual innovation and usable products instead of hype cycles. The market will tell us which strategy wins, but builders and developers should be the real winners here, not just speculators looking for quick flips.

I'm already tired of these bundler economics tricks; I just want to harvest the profits in 5 seconds.

5 seconds hold? Is that for real? What exactly are you playing at? --- Builder first sounds good, but I wonder if it will just be another paper tiger. --- Here we go again, AI AI AI, can the project team change their words... so annoying. --- Sounds nice, but in the end, those who win are the ones with money to spend on marketing. --- Hackathon sounds good, but how much real innovation can there be in reality? --- Haha, speculators are about to cry, but then again, who doesn't want to buy low and sell high? --- Will this competitive pressure really change anything? I remain skeptical. --- Finally, someone said it—there are too many trash projects on the market. --- On-chain utility should have been emphasized long ago, or else it's just air coins.

Waiting 5 seconds to hold a position just to make quick money? Laughable, this is the disease of our circle. --- Builder first is much more reliable; projects that can truly survive come from this approach. --- Another bunch of AI projects just blowing their own horns... Wake up, everyone. --- Competition is a good thing, but only if there's real stuff to show; otherwise, it's just internal competition costs. --- Exactly, speculators should step aside, and those who do the work should win. --- Hackathon? Sounds good, but it really needs serious participants. --- This round of elimination will be brutal; trash projects won't survive at all. --- Interesting, finally someone has burst these bubbles.
