In this market where a new concept emerges every day, holding onto confidence in a certain Layer2 public chain really isn’t a big secret—it's simply clarity after repeated education.

Having seen too many projects that peak on their first day, and experiencing countless moments of chasing hot trends only to get caught, I’ve come to understand a fundamental truth: projects that can go the distance are often not the hottest ones, but those with the most solid design.

Take a mainstream Layer2 solution as an example. It’s indeed not very friendly for newcomers at first. The mechanism is complex, the entry barrier is high, and the ecosystem doesn’t seem very vibrant. But if you take the time to study it deeply, you’ll find that from day one, they prioritize security above all else. Assets can return to the main chain, and users have a way to救 themselves in extreme market conditions—these design details that no one cares about in a bull market become valuable when the market crashes.

This isn’t about pursuing “superficial strength,” but about ensuring “survival when things really go wrong.”

Confidence in Layer2 is essentially an understanding of market cycles. In a bull market, everyone competes on speed, costs, and user experience, but in the long run, whether a project can survive depends on whether its security model and architecture are solid enough. Projects that try hard to please the market often end up having problems when the cycle shifts.

As an ordinary investor, I also get anxious and worry whether this “conservative approach” will be eliminated. But once I think it through, I realize that blockchain is never a 100-meter sprint; it’s a marathon. It’s not about who starts running first that wins, but about who can坚持到底.
