Assess an ecosystem fund’s efficiency via tangible metrics: number of funded projects that launched MVP (not just announced), user adoption of funded apps (e.g., monthly active users), and diversification of use cases (e.g., DeFi + NFT + Web3 tools, not just one niche). Avoid funds with vague investment criteria or low launch rates. Fund returns can boost token value if profits are reinvested (e.g., buying back tokens) or if funded projects drive ecosystem growth (e.g., increasing the parent token’s utility as a governance asset). Track quarterly fund reports for transparency on spending and outcomes.
