🧵 Navigate Ecosystem Politics Wisely
Why?
Web3 isn’t just tech, it’s tribes.
Each ecosystem (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, etc.) has its own culture, values, and gatekeepers.
Knowing how to move between them strategically can accelerate growth or save you from friction.
Here’s how 👇
1/ Understand the social layer.
Chains aren’t just infrastructure, they’re communities.
Before integrating or raising grants, learn the ecosystem’s norms:
– Ethereum prizes decentralization and credibility
– Solana favors speed and builders
– Cosmos values sovereignty and modularity
2/ Build bridges, not rivalries.
It’s easy to get caught in chain wars. Don’t.
Support interoperability and cross-chain collaboration. It signals maturity and future-proofing.
3/ Engage with ecosystem leaders early.
Founders, core devs, and community figures often shape perception.
Participate in their forums, hackathons, or Twitter spaces before you “announce” anything.
4/ Earn legitimacy through contribution.
The fastest way to be accepted in an ecosystem is to build something useful for it.
Ship a tool, create research, or help onboard users. Actions > affiliations.
5/ 👉 TL;DR: Every chain is a country with its own politics.
Navigate respectfully, contribute genuinely, and build bridges, not camps.
