Drop your take Always good to hear different angles.

6⃣ Why this matters for Aptos itself Echelon is shaping the liquidity backbone for: - BTCFi - stable yields - integrated DeFi flows If this TGE goes well, Aptos DeFi credibility jumps a level. If it doesn’t… hype cools quickly.

5⃣ Token utility can’t be vague Governance alone doesn’t hold value. For $ELON to work long-term, it needs: - real fee exposure - meaningful boosts for active users - clear locking incentives - actual influence over risk + markets If utility is fuzzy → speculation only. If

4⃣ Onboarding still decides growth Bridging + UX still matters more than most people admit. Direct sUSDe bridging via LayerZero, one-click loops via Thala, mobile wallet UX, this is how retail actually shows up. If onboarding friction stays high, users just go back to Solana

3⃣ Market maker risk is underrated on fast chains High-TPS chains move fast… and break fast if liquidity isn’t managed well. Echelon already uses isolated markets + risk oracles for newer assets. At TGE, pairing spot liquidity with on-chain perps (via Decibel) could help

2⃣ Incentives must stick (not farm & vanish) They’ve been experimenting with vesting: = 30-day vest on USDC/USDT rewards - $2.7M already distributed to sUSDe suppliers - Locked multipliers for Ethena users That’s the right direction. If $ELON emissions are too aggressive early

1⃣ Liquidity comes first (not price) Echelon already pulled serious liquidity: ~$200M peak TVL ~$90M sUSDe ~$100M BTC collateral ~68% of Aptos USD1 sits there At TGE, the key isn’t pumping $ELON, it’s seeding deep, real pools on Thala / Hyperion using that existing
