In the blockchain industry, what does 7 years mean? It is the refinement through at least two complete bull and bear cycles.

Dusk Foundation recently revealed that they have been researching in the field of privacy technology for over 7 years. Looking at the current landscape, many so-called RWA concept projects and new public chains are still in the white paper stage, while Dusk has already accumulated 7 years of code. This technological depth is not something that new entrants who just completed fundraising 3 months ago can catch up with.

To put it simply, time is the best moat.

Market volatility is just volatility. I am more willing to bet on projects that have experienced the test of time. Things that can withstand the test of time are often the most trustworthy.

Really, 7 years compared to a new star raising funds in 3 months—this gap is not even in the same league.

Really, 7 years in this circle makes me a living fossil. There are a bunch of whitepaper projects, but only veterans like Dusk are worth paying attention to.

7 years really impressive, unlike those projects that dream up plans in PPT and disappear after a couple of words

A project rooted for 7 years is more reliable than those air projects that only have three months of funding.

Seven years—only two bull and bear cycles to survive. That's the hidden threshold. There are countless whitepaper projects, but very few with substantial code. Dusk, which works diligently behind the scenes, is indeed more reliable than those that pop up after a few months of fundraising and then boast. Time kills off bubble projects, and only the genuine ones remain. This way of working is exhausting, but it's also something those quick-profit projects will never learn. Projects that have gone through a full cycle at least demonstrate they have withstood the market test. In a restless market, these "boring" accumulations are actually the most valuable. We can't say Dusk will definitely succeed, but having a serious attitude towards work is at least more precious than anything else. Seven years of code accumulation compared to a whitepaper—this contrast is truly striking.

7 years really make a difference. Projects that raised funds in 3 months are just playing house compared to that.

Seven years of two bull and bear cycles really beat people down to the ground. Dusk and the team are still quietly coding. I am impressed. White papers flying everywhere—honestly, I don't even want to look at those projects. It's better to focus on the actual code. That's why I prefer to bet on old projects. The fact that they've been around for so long and still haven't died suggests there might be something right. Quick-fix schemes have long disappeared into the dust of history. Only those that survive are valuable. Three months of fundraising vs. seven years of technical accumulation—this question is too simple.
