Web3 does not yet have a universally proven long-term economic model. Many projects rely on tokenomics that drive short-term hype but face sustainability challenges, such as inflation, user churn when yields drop, or dependence on continuous inflows (often criticized as Ponzi-like).However, viable paths exist through well-designed token utility, diversified revenue (e.g., fees, subscriptions beyond token sales), balanced incentives, and mechanisms like staking or burning. Sectors like DeFi (Chainlink's shift to user-paid oracles) and games show progress toward real value accrual over speculation.Overall, Web3's economic viability hinges on moving beyond grants and speculation to genuine utility and revenue—possible, but not guaranteed.For deeper analysis: Chainlink on sustainable oracle economics: https://blog.chain.link/sustainable-oracle-economics/
