Recently, I have been experimenting with some projects on Perp-DEX and prediction markets, and I discovered an interesting issue. These types of projects are completely different from the testnet phase — it's like opening a store with real money, but having to pay rent and electricity bills every day, yet never seeing any profit. It feels a bit like working for the landlord, with the cost pressure clearly there.

Faced with this situation, the idea is simple: first, control costs well, follow the rhythm of leading projects, learn as you go, and the key is not to fall behind. This way, even if there are no short-term returns, you can accumulate experience amid market fluctuations. When the project truly establishes a viable business model, your understanding and operations will already be mature.
