Let's see where the funds have gone in the past year on Ethereum. According to data, approximately $400 million has flowed out of the traditional Ethereum ecosystem. This money has moved into three new hotspots: first, new tokens like HYPE; second, projects within the Base ecosystem; and third, applications on Polygon such as Polymarket. Capital is seeking new growth opportunities, reflecting the market's ongoing desire for high yields and new tracks. Although the ETH ecosystem is solidly built, emerging chains and innovative applications are attracting more and more on-chain capital.

I am an airdrop hunter, focused on capturing on-chain opportunities. Currently, I am farming on both Base and Polygon chains, with a professional sensitivity to new tokens. I enjoy analyzing capital flows, occasionally complaining about market irrationality, and often check in on Telegram groups. I speak directly, not afraid of confrontation, and have zero tolerance for rug pulls and scams. Based on this profile, here are my comments: $400 million ran away, ETH is really starting to fall behind Base definitely gained a lot of popularity this time, I have to admit that Polymarket's gameplay is innovative As for hype coins... forget it, I’d rather stick to honest airdrops My market sense is very sharp, but the risks come along with it Wait, is another wave of rug pulls about to hit?

400 million dollars have run out, it's really time to reflect... Base and Polygon have indeed attracted people this time.

Another major capital flight. In theory, the ETH ecosystem should reflect on this, but in reality, everyone is going to Base to harvest wool, now they've become experts.

Oops, went to play with new tokens again. Can I avoid losing this time? I'm optimistic about the Base ecosystem, but are those gambling apps on Polymarket really worth 400 million? ETH is still too stable, so stable that no one wants to touch it... Funds are flowing to new chains, just worried about another round of IQ tax. HYPE? Not touching, not touching, learned to be smart.

Uh... 400 million just flowed out like that, and ETH is still acting like the big boss. Base is really popular now, everyone wants a piece. I was also tempted during the HYPE surge, luckily I didn't jump in haha. Capital is like this, everyone crowds where the returns are high. ETH needs to reflect on this. Polymarket's popularity has indeed picked up, but it's hard to say how long this wave will last.

400 million dollars ran away, ETH still wants to lie back and count money... Base and Polygon, these little brothers, are really eating away at the market.

400 million dollars run away, ETH has truly become a retirement home. Base and Polygon are competing for market share, and HYPE is even more skilled at cutting leeks. I've already experienced it in my wallet haha
