Crypto Projects Need to Stop Treating Network Activity as Proof of Adoption

A blockchain can report thousands of transactions and growing activity, but that does not necessarily mean people are finding genuine value in its ecosystem. Some activity could be driven by incentives, automated transactions or speculative trading. I think the industry needs better ways to distinguish meaningful usage from numbers that simply look impressive in a presentation. Projects should explain what people are actually doing on their networks, not just how many transactions they process. What metric would you trust most when evaluating whether a blockchain has real adoption?
