> **Visual Context:** The image shows a leaderboard ranking top crypto projects by cumulative earnings, with Tether leading at $19.084b across 1 chain, followed by Circle ($7.209b, 22 chains), Axie Infinity ($1.413b, 2 chains), Pump ($1.246b, 4 chains), and Hyperliquid ($1.195b, 2 chains), then OpenSea ($919.15m, 16 chains), Paxos ($861.35m, 2 chains), Sky ($744.52m, 1 chain), Phantom ($579.28m, 6 chains), and LooksRare ($558.02m, 1 chain). The chart supports the post's argument that the 2021 cycle was fundamentally driven, as projects like OpenSea and Axie Infinity generated substantial fees through genuine user activity and revenue, rather than purely speculative token price movements.

Ethereum, Uniswap, Curve, Aave, Compound, Maker, dYdX, Axie, Opensea, Arbitrum, Polygon, Lido, GMX, SNX, and on and on, all generated substantial fees and more importantly they were growing."
