TON's ecosystem stands out as one of the most well-rounded in crypto right now. The backing is genuinely comprehensive across multiple dimensions:

**Community layer** — Users actually stick around and engage, not just chase tokens
**KOL influence** — Strong voices actively promoting and building on the chain
**Foundation support** — Serious backing with resources and strategic direction
**Project & founder quality** — Teams shipping real products, not vaporware

Beyond these four pillars, there's something worth considering: developer infrastructure maturity, interoperability bridges, and tokenomics sustainability. Some ecosystems nail community vibes but struggle with builder incentives. TON seems to have cracked multiple layers simultaneously.

What aspects of ecosystem strength matter most to you when evaluating a blockchain's staying power?

Bro, TON is really serious this time, not just the superficial prosperity on paper. Genuine users who stay are not the kind that just harvests the chives; this is quite rare.

Alright, this time I won't boast. TON is truly flourishing from all sides, unlike some chains that just shout slogans. Every day, we see those four pillars being hyped up, but how many can actually manage community + KOL + foundation + product at the same time? The key still lies in developer infrastructure. Without this, even with abundant resources, it's all in vain.

Community retention, token deflation, and incentive balance are the true lifelines; everything else is superficial. To truly prove itself, TON needs to see the mortality rate of new projects after 18 months.

To be honest, TON has been really strong this time, and it's not easy to establish all four pillars. But I'm more concerned about whether developers will actually stay or just come to hype up today and run away tomorrow.

Well, the TON combo really works well, but community retention is truly undeniable. Just having KOLs promote it is useless; ultimately, it depends on whether people are actually working on the chain. It's easy for the foundation to spend money, but the hard part is whether they can incubate decent projects. So far, TON's performance in this area is okay.
