Does Switching Chains to Re-entrepreneur Really "Change One's Destiny"?
Amid a recent wave of blockchain migrations, several established projects, including Sophon, Moonbeam, and Secret Network, are moving to new ecosystems like Base and Arbitrum. Unlike past migrations driven by hype or security, these moves are often accompanied by strategic pivots, such as shifting focus to consumer applications, AI, or privacy-AI integration, effectively representing a "re-startup" attempt.
However, the crypto community has reacted cautiously. Following Secret Network's announcement of its planned migration to Arbitrum, its token price plummeted over 30% in 24 hours. While migrating to more cost-efficient, higher-traffic, or technologically suitable chains can be a pragmatic choice, history shows that such moves rarely guarantee success. Examples like the y00ts NFT project, which moved from Solana to Polygon and then to Ethereum, or Synthetix’s retreat from a multi-chain strategy, illustrate the challenges and often underwhelming results.
The current market environment, characterized by greater user rationality and the partial validation of past narratives, makes a successful "pivot via migration" even more difficult. Simultaneously, destination chains themselves face challenges in demonstrating sustainable user adoption beyond merely attracting migrating projects. Ultimately, the competition is shifting from which chain can onboard the most projects to which can genuinely foster real-world application and retain users.
