I used to see @AbstractChain and @Sophon and our biggest competitors. These were two people in the space that aligned on a vision for the future of crypto. We all knew that in order for crypto to be viable in the mainstream it needed to be invisible. We all knew that the only solution was something new as it wasn't conducive to build on a stack that wasn't aligned with this idea. Most early crypto relied on people buying the underlying token as a medium of exchange Seeing both of these L2s spin down is very sad. I do still firmly believe that crypto does need to be invisible. I think the boys over at @Sophon came to the same conclusion with their product studio. Rather than speaking about crypto in terms of how we can make it better, we need to show the benefits. It's why at @verona_dev we focus on verification. We still use all the same tools we build as we're lucky to have seen some pretty good traction with @earnos_io but we're in the era of show not tell. Really sad to see @AbstractChain wind down but regardless am bullish for the future.
