Everyone is busy building various orchestrators and liquidity mining protocols, while I am working on creating an underlying network that enables them to collaborate with each other.

To be honest, it feels a bit like collective thinking.

But upon reflection, this kind of differentiated positioning at the infrastructure layer is quite interesting—while everyone is vying for the popularity of the application layer, focusing on weaving the underlying network tightly so that different modules within the ecosystem can collaborate efficiently—this might be where the long-term value lies. The Web3 ecosystem needs such connectors.

Connector work is indeed boring, but it's really in demand.

The issue of underlying interoperability, in the best case, is called a connector; in the worst case, it's an intermediary layer of taxation. The key is how to design the incentive mechanism—otherwise, it becomes another center of power.

Underlying infrastructure is indeed easy to overlook, but this guy is right... Currently, there's a lot of noise at the application layer, while the value of the underlying connectivity is being underestimated.
