Ronin went permissionless back in February '25, opening the floodgates. Now anyone can deploy, but that doesn't mean everyone gets a win.

The winners? They're pulling ahead fast. The losers? Getting left in the dust. That gap between them keeps widening, and it's brutal.

Here's the thing—do your own research. Seriously. Nobody's blocking access to the chain, so the barrier is on you. Look at team funding, track records, actual credentials. If it's shaky, treat it as a major red flag. New projects with zero proven background? That's high-risk territory, full stop.

The permissionless model is powerful, but it also means the noise-to-signal ratio is insane right now. Separating legitimate builders from the rest isn't the chain's job—it's yours.

Honestly, open permissions are a double-edged sword; you really have to choose for yourself. When checking the project team background, don't rush; you need to look into each one carefully. There are too many projects that are just fishing in troubled waters. I mainly look at who the founders are and their funding background. Otherwise, if it loses money later, there's nowhere to argue. Permissionless sounds appealing, but the noise is really loud, making it hard to distinguish.

The curse of bankruptcy is back again, you have to rely on yourself to tell true from false --- Ronin has no entry barrier sounds great, but in reality, it's all just IQ tax projects --- So as I always say, doing homework on-chain is more important than anything else, don't blame the protocol --- NGL, this is a gambler's paradise, the line between leeks and whales is becoming more and more obvious --- Team background being vague? Just pass, I've learned to be smarter --- Too much noise, true builders are drowned in garbage --- Another "open means you are responsible" routine, but it's indeed correct --- I've seen too many projects that go live with zero background, crashing speed is super fast --- Fund tracking is much more useful than reading whitepapers, this is the ultimate trick to filter projects

Honestly, Ronin right now is like the Gold Rush era—everyone wants to strike it rich, but most people either lose everything or get cut. Mindless all-in players deserve it. Doing your homework is really not hard, but there are still people who throw money without even checking the project's background—serves them right for losing out. Open chains are a double-edged sword; the price of freedom is having to discern truth from falsehood yourself, don’t blame blockchain. Permissionless is indeed awesome, but now the signal-to-noise ratio is insanely low, and 99% of the spam is garbage. The winners are definitely taking off, but if you lack vision, you simply can't tell who will win. This time, it's truly wild growth—survival of the fittest, with the big waves washing away the sand.

NGL, the recent open wave of Ronin is really polarizing... The pattern of winners eating meat and losers drinking soup is really getting tired. That's right, DYOR is really important. Otherwise, you're just giving money to air projects. You can tell just by looking at the team background—no funding, no experience? Bro, I’ll just pass. There are plenty of projects like that. There's too much noise, which is true. Truly valuable projects are being drowned out. It's cutthroat... this is the real brutal nature of a free market. Decentralization sounds great, but you still have to do the filtering yourself. No one can take the blame for you.

NGL, Ronin's permissionless move is indeed a double-edged sword. The situation where winners eat meat and losers drink soup is becoming increasingly obvious. Really, now is the time to test your judgment. You need to clearly understand the team background and funding situation, or the risk of stepping into a pit is very high. There's too much noise. You have to learn to discern for yourself—not every on-chain project is worth touching.
