Looking at the full picture of this crypto ecosystem, there's an ongoing contradiction that can't be resolved. On one side, there's the massive Bitcoin asset pool with liquidity that feels more like dead water; on the other, the public chains claiming to revolutionize payments—yet? They are still heavily constrained by throughput and transaction fees. The missing piece in the ecosystem puzzle is this gap.

From a performance perspective. Many people fall asleep reading TPS numbers in whitepapers, but few projects can actually run at high speeds. Some new public chains using innovative consensus mechanisms have tested over 1000+ TPS in real-world conditions—these are not just on paper—meaning they can handle real-time settlement at a global scale. Imagine the old days, paying with your phone at a café and waiting for block confirmation—such an experience felt like the last century. If response times are reduced to milliseconds, the psychological barrier for Web2 users to transition into Web3 drops significantly.

But speed is just the foundation; the real key lies ahead. The true game-changer is that these new payment protocols are beginning to activate Bitcoin's liquidity. When you can revive dormant assets and enable them to circulate within efficient settlement networks, the entire ecosystem's potential opens up. This is what a payment public chain truly needs to do—not just patch up the existing framework, but fundamentally reshape the rules from the ground up.
