Me: Why do infra projects suddenly feel more important than consumer apps again?
Also me: Because everyone realized scaling users is pointless if the underlying systems still break under pressure.
Started looking at $EGLD today.
The interesting part is not just speed, it’s the attempt to make large scale blockchain architecture feel sustainable long term.
Then I went down a rabbit hole on $API3 .
Direct data feeds instead of layers of intermediaries makes more sense the more automated onchain systems become.
Somewhere in between, I ended up revisiting $FLT.
And honestly, Fluence feels like one of those projects people understand later than they should.
Most “decentralized” apps still lean heavily on centralized compute once real workloads appear. AI services, backend logic, automation pipelines, all of it usually ends up running on traditional cloud infrastructure. Fluence is one of the few projects directly attacking that dependency layer.
After that I somehow landed on $SUPER .
Gaming ecosystems keep experimenting with digital ownership models, and whether they succeed or not, they push infrastructure requirements harder every cycle.
Anyway, that was tonight’s research spiral.
The deeper I look, the more Web3 feels less about coins and more about replacing hidden dependencies one layer at a time.
