The web3 ecosystem faces a critical choice in development approaches:

  • Building for Attention: Focuses on short-term metrics, viral growth, and quick user acquisition
  • Building with Intention: Emphasizes sustainable growth, user value, and long-term ecosystem health

This follows the earlier Lens protocol discussion about prioritizing thoughtful development over rapid expansion.​ Projects choosing intention over attention typically demonstrate:

  • Stronger community engagement
  • More sustainable tokenomics
  • Better user retention
  • Higher quality features

Key Takeaway: Success in web3 requires balancing growth with purposeful development.​
