I once met a guy at a coffee shop named Lao Li, a typical "old crypto circle" person.
You can tell someone like him right away—he has five market apps open on his phone, two computers on the table, sipping a latte while staring at the K-line.
Every time a new project comes out, he’s faster than anyone else.
"Bro, this new DEX is going to overturn Uniswap!"
But three days later, the group is gone, the coin price has halved, and liquidity evaporated.
I asked him, "Why do you always get caught up in this?"
He said, "There’s no choice; the crypto circle moves too fast. If you’re a step behind, you miss out on the meat."
Until one day, he started to become calm and unhurried.
I asked him what he was up to lately, and he calmly said, "I’m researching @OrderlyNetwork."
I thought it was just another short-lived DEX, but he smiled and said, "No, this one is different. It’s not just riding the hype; it’s building the foundation."
He explained to me:
Right now, there are a bunch of exchanges, L2s, and DEXs in the crypto circle, all using their own matching and liquidity pools,
Every platform is reinventing the wheel.
Orderly’s idea is to extract the "underlying logic of trading" and create a shared infrastructure—
a "base engine" that everyone can connect to, with deep liquidity and fast speed.
In simple terms, while others are building supermarkets and setting up shelves,
Orderly directly helps all the supermarkets in the city streamline their supply chains.
Once this thing stabilizes, everyone will have to connect to it.
At that moment, I realized that the truly impressive projects aren’t the ones shouting about "overturning someone" every day,
but those that—even if you haven’t heard their name—are quietly making the entire industry run smoothly in the background.
Lao Li said, "The crypto circle is like a city; some are building skyscrapers, while others are laying foundations.
Orderly is laying the kind of foundation you can’t see, but every building relies on it."
Because in every cycle, those who shout the loudest often cool off first;
and those who quietly and consistently get things done will ultimately become the new "underlying standard."
