To evaluate alignment, start by understanding the project’s core mission—does it focus on solving a meaningful, real-world problem, like improving financial inclusion, enhancing privacy, or disrupting traditional finance systems? Look at how well the project’s solutions translate into practical applications. Are there real use cases where the technology is actively being adopted, or is the project still in the conceptual or experimental phase? A project whose mission closely aligns with tangible, scalable real-world impact is more likely to succeed long-term, as it addresses actual market needs rather than just theoretical concepts.
