From the perspective of actual DePIN node operation, why did IDE become a breaking point during this wave of adjustments? To be honest, last year's bear market caused many to stumble in the DePIN track—highly promised returns often couldn't be realized, node operation costs remained high, and token prices were under pressure. But IDE's logic is a bit different.

For DePIN to truly take off, what is the key point? It is the sustainability of the incentive mechanism. IDE provides a more stable expectation for node operators through an improved economic model and a more reasonable release mechanism. This is not just a simple high APY hype, but a re-design of the ecosystem from the perspective of supply and demand balance.

Only by being part of it do you realize that DePIN is not lacking participants, but lacking participants with long-term confidence. The emergence of IDE, to some extent, solves the confidence issue. Of course, it still depends on whether subsequent promises can be fulfilled.

Forget it, it's the same rhetoric about sustainability and long-term confidence. IDE promised this last year too, but what was the result? --- The supply and demand balance sounds good, but has it really been implemented? Are there any data? --- Is it that we lack confidence because there are no participants? I think it's more about the lack of real returns. --- No matter how beautiful the economic model is, it depends on whether the token can support the market. That's the reality. --- Breaking the deadlock? Let's wait until it runs stably for a quarter before talking. --- Honestly, it's still a gamble—betting that IDE can fulfill its promises this time. --- Redesigning supply and demand? There are too many projects claiming to be redesigning in the DePIN space. --- A stable expectation sounds comfortable, but can the node costs really be reduced? --- Instead of just looking at promises, check on-chain data. How active is the ecosystem right now? --- I remember the pitfalls I encountered last year. This time, I need to be more cautious.

It's the same old talk about sustainability and long-term confidence, I've heard it too many times. The key question is, how long can IDE really last this time? --- Redesigning the supply and demand balance? Sounds good, but I'm just worried it's another promise on paper. --- It's a pretty idealistic statement, but have the issues of operational costs and gas fees really been solved? --- Last year's pitfalls haven't been fully addressed, and now there's a new project... I'll just wait and see. --- It's not a lack of participants, but a lack of confidence—that hits the point. But why should IDE make us believe again? --- A good economic model doesn't necessarily mean it can be implemented; there have been too many crashes in DePIN. --- Stable expectations, huh? You'll understand once the token goes live and gets cut in half. --- So, how much can the APY actually be? Don't just say it's about supply and demand balance and I'll accept that.

It sounds like the IDE has indeed put effort into the economic model, but from a technical perspective, the realization of sustainable incentives also involves several key variables... It is worth noting that similar promises in history have often been undermined by execution details. Whether this time can truly be fulfilled remains a question.

You're right, having high APY alone can't keep people, it depends on whether you can survive longer. --- This wave of IDE's economic model design is truly thoughtful, much more reliable than those flocking projects last year. --- To put it simply, there was too much deception earlier, now no one dares to trust easily. IDE needs to prove itself with actual results. --- Rebuilding the ecosystem based on supply and demand balance aligns with the pain points of DePIN, but execution ability is the key. --- Stable expectations > high returns. Finally, some projects understand this. --- If the node operation and maintenance costs can really be optimized, I might have to reconsider this track. --- The biggest shortage in DePIN is patient participants. Whether IDE is that destined one depends on how things develop later. --- Breaking point? Don't hype it up first. Wait until the returns are truly stable. We've experienced too many crashes.

No more words, IDE has truly hit the pain point this time. In the past two years, DePIN was just a hype, now finally someone is seriously working on economic models. Let's wait and see how long it can last. Stable node rewards are the key, don't let another round of harvesting happen.
