While some projects are **fading away** and others are caught up in **meme coin trends**, CARV remains focused on **consistent development and shipping products**. The contrast highlights different approaches in the current market: - Some projects losing momentum - Others pivoting to meme-driven strategies - **CARV maintaining steady progress** on core development This pattern echoes previous observations where projects like Vulcan also emphasized **continuous shipping** over market noise and narrative shifts. The message suggests **substance over hype** - while market attention shifts between trends, certain projects prioritize **consistent execution** and product delivery.
