In the Web3 industry, judging whether a project is "valuable" is often oversimplified to price performance, short-term popularity, or market sentiment.
But as the industry gradually matures, these indicators are losing their reference value.
What truly determines whether an infrastructure project can go far is its performance over time, not just its highlights at a certain stage.
This is also the core perspective that IDN Network consistently adheres to when evaluating its direction and industry trends.

1. Short-term success does not equal long-term effectiveness


In the early days of Web3, many projects achieved rapid growth by seizing narrative windows.
But as the cycle lengthens, a reality gradually emerges:
A successful launch cannot sustain years of operation
A round of traffic dividends cannot verify system stability
Market recognition cannot replace long-term trust
The value of infrastructure,

I believe readers who follow cutting-edge technology are somewhat aware of the progress in quantum computing this year. This "technological revolution," which has been called for many years like AI, finally saw a breakthrough this year. Simply put, quantum computing has shifted from solving physical problems to engineering problems, marking a turning point from laboratory experiments to commercialization. This year has also been designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
Technological breakthroughs are good news, but the bad news is that quantum computing concerns the survival of Bitcoin. When computational power reaches a certain threshold, public keys exposed on the network could potentially be brute-forced to reveal private keys through quantum computing, which could deal a devastating blow to Bitcoin.
If discussions about quantum computing previously only revolved around "whether it will affect Bitcoin," then this year's discussions have already developed into...

Techub News reports that Solana ecosystem DeFi protocol Solstice tweeted that the secondary market for the stablecoin USX will experience significant fluctuations, but the net asset value of the underlying assets and Solstice custody assets remain unaffected, with a collateralization ratio exceeding 100%. The team has requested a third-party to immediately provide an additional certification report, which will be released as soon as it is completed. Solstice stated that this is purely a liquidity issue in the secondary market, and the team and market makers are taking immediate steps to address it. They will continue to inject liquidity into the secondary market to ensure market stability. The 1:1 redemption in the primary market remains fully available.
According to PeckShield monitoring, the stablecoin USX briefly de-pegged and, due to liquidity exhaustion, fell to $0.10 in the secondary market. After Solstice injected liquidity, the exchange rate gradually

Bitcoin recently broke through 12,705,000 KRW, showing a strong upward trend, and may surpass 13,000,000 KRW before the end of the year. Attention should be paid to support and resistance levels to prevent potential market volatility. Ethereum experienced a slight increase, while Solana performed strongly. Market experts advise investors to be cautious in responding to short-term fluctuations.

Artificial Intelligence(AI) Data Center Power Demand Surge: A Texas Energy Developer Proposes a Unique Plan to Reuse Decommissioned U.S. Navy Nuclear Reactors as Power Sources. Amidst the Need for High-Performance, 24/7 Power Supply for Private Data Infrastructure, Such Solutions Are Gaining Attention as New Alternatives.
Led by HGP Smart Energy, the plan requests loan guarantees under the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Financing Program by submitting an application titled "Core Holding Project." The specific proposal involves installing two decommissioned naval nuclear reactors near Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to supply power for large-scale data centers.
The reactors HGP plans to utilize are pressurized water reactors that have provided decades of power to U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and submarines. Manufactured by Westinghouse Electric, General Electric, and others, these devices have long-term operational performance and safety validated.

The landscape of search engine optimization(SEO) is undergoing a fundamental transformation. As the core of online marketing strategies for over twenty years, SEO is ceding the spotlight due to the emergence of generative artificial intelligence. In the past, the goal was to have your pages appear at the top of search results, but now users are shifting toward a "zero-click" environment—AI directly answers questions, and users may not even need to click on links.
Since Google introduced the AI summary feature "AI Overview" at the top of its search results in May 2024, this shift has accelerated. Currently, about 30% of searches in the US utilize AI summaries, and website click-through rates are experiencing double-digit declines. This is because AI responds directly to user queries, bypassing traditional link-based access methods.
In this transformation, AI engine optimization is emerging as a new pillar of marketing strategy. Kevin Roy, CEO of AEO specialist company GreenBananaSEO, explains

The virtual asset market continues to show a volatile pattern, with major virtual assets exhibiting different trends. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) remain on an upward trajectory, while Solana (SOL) has experienced a strong surge, attracting market attention. Meanwhile, Ripple (XRP) has gradually risen due to expectations of increased usage within the Japanese financial system.
Bitcoin is currently trading in the 12,772,000 KRW range, up 1.63% over the past 24 hours amid ongoing institutional investor interest. Notably, the derivatives market is expanding significantly, with an expected scale of approximately trillion this year. This indicates increasing institutional participation. Analysts believe that the US GENIUS Act and Europe's MiCA regulations are factors boosting market confidence.
Ethereum is trading at 4,270,000 KRW, up 1.18%. Although lacking independent upward momentum, it is following Bitcoin's trend and showing an upward movement.

No one believes the cry of "The wolf is coming." I usually tune out Peter Schiff's words; they go in one ear and out the other. He constantly criticizes Bitcoin as a scam, nitpicks over high-performing tech stocks, and always pours out pessimistic tones. The market often regards him as a "broken clock." But some things must be acknowledged. This time, Schiff is right. The current market situation is unfolding according to his predictions.
Gold and silver prices are soaring. This cannot be simply attributed to speculative hype. It is a terrifying warning to the core of our economic system and a silent scream from the market.
Let's think rationally. Investors around the world are selling what are considered the safest U.S. Treasuries as if they were throwing away broken shoes. Abandoning interest-paying bonds and fleeing into the interest-free "non-yielding assets" of gold—such a phenomenon is happening. This is a paradox that capitalism's logic cannot explain. This is投
