You've probably seen this pattern on Solana: developers grinding away in Claude, genuinely convinced they're building the next big AI breakthrough that'll hit billions. Meanwhile, the actual payout? Their token launch nets them creator fees somewhere in the ballpark of $22.34. The incentive math just doesn't work. It's become a pretty common story in the ecosystem—tons of technical effort pouring into projects, but the tokenomics and fee structures end up leaving builders with almost nothing. The gap between ambition and actual rewards in this space is wild.

Haha, this is the reality of Web3. Dreams are grand, but reality is harsh.

Really, I'm exhausted. Every day it's the same routine: code for a week in Claude, dream of raising hundreds of millions, and finally get $22 in fees from the token launch... It cracks me up. This is the current state of Web3.

ngl this is the most painful difficulty adjustment to watch in real time... devs literally mining for peanuts while betting the farm on tokenomics that don't even hash out

22 dollars, I just want to say, I am very familiar with the feeling of getting caught in a trap... --- It's the same old Solana routine, dreaming of changing the world, but the entry fee isn't even enough to buy a cup of coffee. --- I just want to ask, who is still playing like this? Aren't you afraid of getting cut so badly you doubt your life? --- That's why I only buy Bitcoin now. I've been through all the pitfalls of altcoins. --- Get out, you must get out. These projects are just here to cut the leeks. --- Seeing this number makes me think of the days when I was scammed by project teams... --- The developer's blood and tears. No wonder everyone is now using GPT, at least it can make a living. --- Tokenomics, this broken thing, is always just a cover for scamming retail investors. --- A young person advises: stop dreaming, hold onto your coins first.
