In the 2025 review, most people focused on price fluctuations and trending topics, but they missed a more fundamental change: tokenized assets are choosing underlying infrastructure based on actual performance rather than promotional slogans.

This trend is particularly evident in Ethereum ecosystem second-layer solutions. No longer solely based on project teams' promises, tokenized assets are casting real votes through deployment decisions. The toolchains are becoming more complete, development and deployment are maintaining steady growth, and the market sentiment in the short term does not dominate—this is not about chasing hot trends, but about seriously building a functional financial system.

From token issuance and cross-chain assets to derivatives trading, the infrastructure of the entire chain is gradually closing the loop. Growth is no longer an irrational explosion but a measured expansion. This change is subtle but crucial for assessing the long-term potential of the ecosystem. The power to choose infrastructure is gradually shifting back from marketing to technology and practical application efficiency—this is the most noteworthy underlying fact of the Web3 ecosystem in 2025.

ngl, the infrastructure rotation thesis is hitting different when you actually run the numbers on gas costs and settlement finality across L2s. most people still talking about hype when the real alpha is watching where stablecoins actually choose to live.

Finally, someone said it. The ups and downs of prices are no longer interesting; what matters now is who is really doing the work. --- The L2 ecosystem has indeed stabilized recently, unlike before when it was all about hype. Now, it's genuinely deployed and voting. --- That's a good point, but I still want to see which L2 can break through the bottleneck this year. Infrastructure alone isn't enough. --- Haha, I knew everyone was just talking about market sentiment. In fact, the iteration of infrastructure has been quietly ongoing and has been overlooked. --- Shifting from promotion to technology—does this mean the crypto space is finally maturing? But we still need to see how long it can last. --- Using deployment voting as a metaphor for tokens is pretty good; it's like real financial choice power, much more reliable than empty promises. --- What does the closure of the chain mean for ordinary users? Will the transaction experience improve, or is it just a technical advancement? --- Honestly, the steady growth of L2 this year isn't that exciting, but maybe this is what a healthy ecosystem looks like.

Selling narratives sounds good, but it really depends on where the real money is being invested—that's the truth. To put it nicely, it's about maturity; to put it bluntly, it's time to work after the bubble is burst. L2 is indeed changing, but I care more about real user data, not deployment data. Infrastructure improvements are good, but the problem is that most people are still trading coins; who is actually using it? This logic makes sense, but the premise is that there must be genuine demand supporting it; otherwise, it's just self-comfort. Going back from marketing to technology? That's laughable; marketing will never truly step back. It's reasonable; compared to those air coin projects last year, it's definitely more rational, but it's still too early to say "system closure."

If only I had understood this logic earlier, now that I realize it, it's probably too late. --- Those who watch K-line charts every day don't realize that the underlying architecture is secretly changing blood, truly incredible. --- L2 traders, your recent actions really make me regret not focusing on strategic deployment. I should have gotten in earlier. --- Most of what is said is correct, but I still impulsively chased those air projects, serving me right for losing money. --- What you said is spot on, but the problem is, how many people can actually see such subtle changes? --- Regret it now, everyone. The technology is really advancing, but I was playing short-term trades and suffered heavy losses. --- Now I understand what it means to choose the wrong track. Infrastructure is indeed the future, but I didn't keep up. --- It's always like this—things with the most potential are the easiest to overlook. I'm always chasing hot topics.

Someone finally hit the nail on the head; the marketing story should be shattered.
