In the mid-term competition of public blockchains, it's really a contest of the depth and activity of the developer ecosystem.

Recently, I noticed an important move: a well-known privacy public chain has launched a developer funding program with 15 million tokens. How this money is allocated actually reflects the project's most genuine strategic direction.

Interestingly, this funding scheme is completely different from many projects' scattershot incentives. It focuses on three areas: privacy DeFi applications, compliant asset tools, and zero-knowledge proof ecosystems. In other words, they are not pursuing a large and comprehensive ecosystem, but rather aiming for deep synergy in the vertical tracks of "financial privacy" and "asset tokenization."

This is a very pragmatic choice. Concentrating resources on a specific field makes it easier to generate network effects and technological barriers, rather than spreading thin and weakening.

But the real highlight is not just the funding. The key is how to **reduce development difficulty**—they have optimized zero-knowledge proof algorithms like PLONK, so developers don't have to start from the cryptography fundamentals. They also built an EVM compatibility layer, which means Solidity developers on Ethereum can migrate almost seamlessly and quickly launch new projects.

From the results, the logic of this combined approach is clear: provide ample funding, solve technical barriers, and attract and retain developers.

How far this strategy can go depends on whether, in the next 6-12 months, truly user-based privacy financial or RWA applications will emerge. If successful, the token itself will no longer just be network fuel, but a carrier of the entire value ecosystem.
