Separate architecture from adoption
A technical design can be ambitious without having proven sustained demand. Look for applications, ongoing use and the people building on the network.
Check the live rules
Token supply, staking arrangements and governance decisions can change. Old tokenomics summaries are not a substitute for the current project documentation and approved governance proposals.
What belongs in the investment question
The role of DOT, the costs of participating, competing platforms and the relationship between usage and token demand all matter. A roadmap is not a promised return.
A question to carry forward
Which part of the thesis relies on actual usage, and which part relies on another buyer paying more? That distinction is worth keeping visible as the story develops.
