I have  been studying different altcoin projects lately and noticed that while many gain attention due to hype, only a few seem to offer real-world utility. Projects like Chainlink, Solana, and even newer ones like Toncoin are building infrastructure with actual use cases.
However, with so many tokens flooding the market, it's becoming difficult to separate hype from genuine value.
I’d love to hear from experienced holders and developers in this space
What key indicators do you look for when deciding whether an altcoin project has long-term potential?
And which altcoins (aside from the usual Bitcoin and Ethereum) do you truly believe can survive the next five years based on utility and development strength?
