The end of the year is always a time for reflection, and those truly meaningful progress are often not achieved under the spotlight. They require patience, focused dedication, and a long-term vision. Amid the celebrations, more and more developers and teams are quietly building the trust foundation of Web3—creating verifiable human and agent identity systems. These seemingly behind-the-scenes efforts are paving the way for increased trust across the entire ecosystem. Without solid identity recognition and verification mechanisms, large-scale applications of Web3 will be difficult to realize. In the long run, the level of infrastructure development will directly impact whether blockchain technology can truly reach the masses.

The identity system is indeed a tough nut to crack, but it's also a necessary hurdle to overcome. This is the true moat; don't bother with all those flashy tricks. That's right, infrastructure builders are always overlooked, while crypto traders are everywhere hyping. If the foundation isn't solid, no matter how awesome the application is, it's just a paper tiger. A team that works quietly might take off next year.

Yeah, that's right, but it's just so-so. The key is really having someone actually use it. --- The identity system part is indeed needed, but right now everyone is doing their own thing. Standardization is the real challenge, right? --- Building silently? Ha, I see it's getting quite a buzz on Twitter, with everyone promoting their own solutions. --- Web3 going mainstream? First, we need to ensure ordinary people aren't scammed. Even perfect identity verification can't save those rug pulls. --- Long-term vision sounds good, but who has the patience in a bear market? Now it's all about quick bottom-fishing. --- These infrastructure developments are indeed important, but investors are more concerned about where the next airdrop will be. --- It's that year-end summary tone again. We said the same last year. The problem is, how many projects actually followed through? --- Alright, let's solve the sybil attack first before talking about verifiable identities.

Identity systems definitely need refinement, otherwise Web3 is just a castle in the air. --- Those quietly building infrastructure are the real heroes, much more reliable than those who boast every day. --- Sounds good, but can we really trust the current identity verification solutions... --- Finally someone said it, if the trust foundation isn't solid, everything else is pointless. --- Wait, is a verifiable identity system really that urgent? Or is it just another hype? --- This is what Web3 should be doing, stop FOMO all the time. --- The year-end summary is well written, but what about the implementation? Who is truly pushing forward? --- The key is how to verify trustworthiness; there are too many tricks involved.

Data shows that the last "identity system" project has seen a 87% decrease in activity. Interesting [Funny] Ironically, every bull market someone talks about infrastructure, but during bear markets no one uses it. Objectively speaking, having only verification mechanisms is not enough; the key is whether people really want to use Web3 applications. Here we go again, every time it's "quietly building" and "long-term vision." How come I've never seen actual adoption rate data? Historical lesson: those projects that promise scalability mostly end up as concentration camps for data falsification.

Identity systems are indeed a tough nut to crack, but compared to those flashy projects, this is the real thing that can stand the test of time. --- In simple terms, infrastructure is never glamorous, but without it, Web3 is just a castle in the air. --- Quietly building often has the most value, but unfortunately most people only look at the hotspots. --- Trust foundation work requires laying brick by brick; it can't be rushed. --- The key is whether we can truly do a good job with verifiability. Right now, many are still just on paper projects. --- As the year ends, it's worth reflecting that those unnoticed technical tasks are really the ones that determine victory or defeat. --- The threshold for Web3 to reach the masses is indeed stuck at identity.

Identity systems are indeed often overlooked, but they are truly the key to whether Web3 can break through the mainstream.
