A stronger title and enhanced version:
Hype Fades. Usage Stays.
I've been looking deeper into $OPG, and the technology is definitely interesting. Verifiable AI, zkML, and trusted computation could solve some real challenges around transparency in AI.
That said, I'm less focused on the narrative and more interested in the numbers that actually matter.
Are developers actively building? Are applications using the infrastructure? Is network demand growing organically?
Price action can attract attention for a few days. Real adoption is what determines whether a project still matters years from now.
For me, that's the metric worth tracking.
