14 Top Projects: What Did They Do Right from 0 to 1?

1. The majority of project teams have impressive backgrounds; there are no grassroots teams. They are either PhDs, university professors, or serial entrepreneurs. Moreover, Western teams account for most of them. 【Excellent Teams】

2. For the leading projects now or in the future, the first things they do are likely to be unique, which may not be accepted or understood by everyone. 【Ahead of Market Forecast】

3. Securing funding from leading institutions is a necessary step for takeoff. Getting funding doesn’t guarantee success, but if you don’t get it, the ceiling is likely to be low. 【Reliable Institutional Endorsement】

4. For infrastructure projects, the core competitive advantage across cycles is whether a public chain can produce one or two flagship projects. Early public chains do not rely on ecosystems to take off, but when the tide recedes, only public chains with genuine ecosystems can cross cycles. Infra project teams must pay attention to ecosystem building. Flagship projects are the true competitive advantage that allows public chains to transcend cycles. For product project teams, once their products grow large, they can expand downwards, transforming into a public chain. 【Ecosystem is the Most Core Competitive Advantage in the Mid to Late Stage】

5. Whether it's a product or a public chain, it must solve a pain point in the market, and the solution must be unique, definitely not a copycat. 【Innovation】
