One thing I said last week still stands
Everyone wants to build on ARC right now, but eventually, we’re going to see a lot of abandoned products.
If you want to build, build with a long-term mindset.
From MVP to an actual scalable product.
From solo experiments to real teams, operations, users, funding, and sustainability.
If you’re building only because you expect incentives, you’ll probably end up disappointed.
Build because:
>you genuinely enjoy it
>you want to solve a real problem
>or join an existing team that’s already serious about scaling
There are already many teams looking for contributors.
Don’t build on ARC just because you heard “ARC is for builders”
Ask yourself these, and ensure to bookmark it.
->What is my app actually for?
->What real problem does it solve?
->Is this a temporary hype product or something people would genuinely use?
->Why does this app need the ARC stack specifically?
->Would this still exist if incentives disappeared tomorrow?
->Can strangers understand my product in under 30 seconds?
->Who are my target users?
->Is there demand outside CT?
->Can this app scale technically and financially?
->Am I willing to maintain this for years?
->Would I still build this even if nobody posted about it?
->Am I building a product or just farming attention?
->What happens after testnet?
->Do I actually have a roadmap?
->Can this evolve from an MVP into a real company?
->Will this need a team eventually?
->How will onboarding look for new users?
->Is the user experience actually good or only understandable to devs?
->What makes this different from the 50 others being launched right now?
->If another team raises funding first, would I continue?
->Am I prepared for slow growth and hard months?
->What could this look in 5 to 10 years?
->Could investors or users take this seriously long term?
->Is this sustainable without constant incentives?
->Answering these questions honestly changes everything.
You do not have to become a builder because everyone else is building.
Build something useful, scalable, and sustainable.
Or join a team and help them scale theirs.
