In Web3 projects, truly outstanding teams are often not built around star figures. On the contrary, the most important members are those "glue" employees—those who quietly drive everyone to perform better but rarely receive the recognition and rewards they deserve.

These behind-the-scenes heroes are especially critical in DAO governance, development coordination, and community operations. They may not have the most eye-catching titles, but they use their collaborative spirit to hold the entire ecosystem together. Unfortunately, incentive mechanisms tend to favor top contributors, lacking effective recognition of these indispensable yet easily overlooked roles.

Project teams should reflect: those who are best at "hiding their contributions" may actually be the key to the project's long-term stable growth.
