We've made the difficult decision to wind down @EverclearOrg. @LayneHaber @RHLSTHRM and I started Connext (later Everclear) in 2017 to help solve the painful UX holding Ethereum back from mainstream adoption. Over the last 9 years, our team: - Shipped the first production L2 (using state channels) in 2018. - Contributed to the creation of the @MolochDAO, catalyzing renewed interest in DAOs. - Pioneered the first intent-based bridge in 2020. - Created the Chain Abstraction vision and demonstrated it's potential for staking/restaking protocols. - Pushed forward ERC-7281 as a neutral, open standard for bridged tokens. - Brought clearance to DeFi. - Processed over $6B in network volume. Throughout that time, we've also done our best to stay true to our principles and the crypto ethos; pushing for a higher bar of transparency and trust-minimization for ourselves and the space at large. Even though this isn't the ending we ultimately wanted, I am *incredibly* proud of what our team has accomplished and grateful to those who have supported us all of these years ❤️ Longer post-mortem coming soon. In the meantime, if you are a team that is hiring: we have a team of 10x operators who have executed ruthlessly through some of the harshest market conditions on shoestring budgets. Reach out!
