Helius CEO Mert posted on the X platform that he created the seed-stage project Checkprice within a week using AI coding (vibe coding). He believes that as the time and cost of software and product iteration decreases, the startup model will undergo a permanent transformation. Founders can raise $100,000 in seed funding, and there will be no excuse not to demonstrate growth momentum or deliver a product prototype before seeking millions of dollars in funding. This change will lead to increased competition between products, and founders with strong distribution and storytelling abilities will dominate due to easier replication and faster iteration. Finally, he predicts this trend will begin in 2026 and fully materialize within 5 years.

David, Head of Consulting at Blockworks, stated in an article on the X platform that he, his team, and the Blockworks Advisory team have written extensively about token buybacks. He pointed out that his team is the only opponent of the Aave token economic model, holds a similar view to the Jit token economic model, and consistently believes that allocating capital or revenue to growth, such as vertical or horizontal expansion and customer acquisition, is the right path for many, if not all, protocols. He emphasized that no protocol is currently immune to competition, regardless of its dominance or free cash flow generation capabilities, including Hyperliquid. Finally, citing his article on the Aave token economic model, he stated that in a highly competitive and dynamic industry, merely maintaining current regional dominance is insufficient to ensure continued future leadership. The risks of using revenue to indiscriminately buy back tokens are twofold: first, it suggests the protocol lacks competitive pressure; second, it implicitly acknowledges that the revenue cannot be used elsewhere to solidify a long-term moat. David believes the overall industry size is still small, and protocol teams need to think with a longer-term perspective.
