Alright, @AIWayfinder launched today. Some people are upset or confused so let's talk about it. This is *all* solely my opinion. The Good: - The tech is incredible. A lot of people are late to the party and upset over the airdrop mechanics, etc., but this isn't vaporware. I challenge you to actually use the product and then look at everything from a revised perspective. - Wayfinder's team (which is a part of Parallel Studios) is A+. They have a spotless track record of doing things the right way and have always acted with the interests of the community in mind. - Wayfinder / $PROMPT is getting listed by nearly every T1 exchange on Day 1. This is incredible for exposure... but frankly, exchanges are not on your side. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes here. Still, this is good exposure. - Major rewards were distributed to the community, be that OG cachers or Kaito. Rewarding community supporters is good and important. Massive airdrops like this usually lead to initial sell pressure... once the jeeters jeet, things stabilize. - Wayfinder is playing in a multi-bazillion dollar sandbox. The tech they're building lays rails for the entire crypto industry. Think bigger than the 50m MC you are looking at rn. The Bad: - Comms has not been great. I am deeply plugged into the community and even I have had points of confusion on what/where/when to do things. This is also not my first rodeo, so I'm sure less experienced users have been totally lost. There's no sugar-coating this, team should have done better. - I believe there have been warped expectations regarding OG cachers vs. Kaito yappers. If you look at the math breakdown, it's clear that cachers are going to earn more over time than Kaito yappers who get a larger chunk up front. This *was* explained, but frankly I don't think people tried hard enough to understand it and that falls on the team to drill comms harder. Optically, however, I would have liked to see either Kaito rewards decreased or cache rewards increased to better align with community expectations. - The importance of points could have been explained better. A lot of people cached small amounts of $PRIME semi-recently and are pissed they received basically dust. Yes, that's how it works when you base the rewards on points accumulated over time. You'd think this would be obvious, but it falls on the team to make sure this is communicated thoroughly. - Market conditions are nearly all time low atm. This is a 5b FDV project masquerading as a 200m FDV one. Some hopium here, sure, but all jokes aside the timing on this did Wayfinder no favors. With all of that in mind, I just want to say that I have complete faith in @templecrash, @ParallelTCGpod, @Fitchinverse, and the rest of the Parallel Studios/Wayfinder team. If you're reading this and frustrated by this experience, just know that these guys work tirelessly to do right by their community. You are gonna make it. Believe in something.

New Wayfinder shirt got here quick! Thanks @excelsorph 🫡
