Anledningen till att inkubatorer tenderar att vara dåliga är just av alla de skäl @0xWenMoon säger - deras incitament är att extrahera.
Deras mål är tokens från så många projekt som möjligt.
En del av anledningen till att jag tror att @megaeth_labs har lyckats så bra är att de har det motsatta incitamentet: de måste verkligen identifiera de bästa byggarna, annars betyder deras egen kedja ingenting. Varje projekt som misslyckas är en gigantisk missad möjlighet för kedjan.
Jag är partisk här. Jag har inte vinklat i varje Megaeth-projekt jag har sett, men jag har kommit nära: Hittills @GTE_XYZ @noise_xyz @Hop_Network @avon_xyz @Euphoria_fi @valhalla_defi. Det finns inget annat ekosystem där jag någonsin har blivit så involverad med så många appar.
Så det är en smaksak. Jag tror också att dessa appar är framtiden.
Men främst tror jag att det talar för Megaeths egen förståelse för utrymmet som väldigt få andra kedjor delar.
Kedjorna måste göra vad de kan för att få de bästa apparna.
För det är inte kedjor som gör appen, utan appar som gör kedjan.

I'm gonna get killed for saying this, but fuck it.
I've built ecosystems, so I know this first hand. Accelerators and incubators are total wastes of time and money and actually net negative to ecosystem building.
Why?
Kingmaking doesn't work for ecosystem building. It actively disrupts the competitive habitat of a chain. The most important thing to understand is, as a foundation, you literally never know who will be your biggest builders months or years down the line.
If you asked me to pick who the best builders in my ecosystem would have been a few years ago, I would have been dead fucking wrong.
This is assuming these accelerators function as they theoretically should. But the reality is even worse and darker.
Thru my VC alt, I've even attended a few demo days and seen the project pitches coming straight out of some accelerators... its honestly dreadful. The quality of builders and ideas is terrible. You are hard pressed to find one or two remotely interesting ideas.
Why is this? Well I suspect it's because most of these are quite rushed given they are naturally cohort based. It's just infeasible that you will have 15 amazing ideas in your eco out of 300 applications at a single arbitrary point in time.
Moreover, some of the builders don't really have any ideas. They just have the right credentials to be chosen, and then have to rush to come up with an idea to build within a timeframe. I'm never a fan of that either.
There is honestly a bunch of other darker reasons which I won't touch on too much. Especially when there are third-party extractors involved. Most incubators are scams too, just pumping out as many tokens as possible.
So why are these popular? Simply because its kind of sexy to outsiders and investors imo. But what do I know?
Anyways, all of this is not to shit on Mega, I love them so I do hope this time it's different. It just made me want to write some thoughts as a cautionary word for this style of eco building.
As always, I'm here to provide solutions and open to differing opinions :)
