1/ The one certain thing about markets is that they have cycles. The best projects are ready for this and build through the downturns. Lemons turn into lemonade for prepared teams with longterm vision, strong cash positions, and committed communities + core teams
2/ These cycles hurt, but they should be expected. It is not a matter of if, but when. This means opportunity for those that are prepared and have the right perspective
3/ I'm proud to say that across the entire SKALE project we are in a position to come out of this cycle in a far stronger relative position than we started. The core team is in a strong cash position and is funded with multiple years of runway
4/ The validator community running the SKALE network is made of the top validators in the world. All of these organizations have strong teams and strong financial positions. The network will continue to thrive
5/ The Dev community building on SKALE continues to grow. There are over a hundred teams a different stages of deployment cycles. The majority of these teams are positioned for success and will build through the cycle. We are about to see some major global launches
6/ The global community behind the SKALE project is strong. This is not the world's largest crypto community but it is one of the most engaged, educated, and passionate groups of people I've seen behind a decentralized effort.
After many years of intense work and engineering SKALE V2 is here. Interconnected multichain networks are where the market is going. While other chains are announcing we are deploying. Let’s keep the positive vibes going!
2 - There are a lot of moving parts and dependencies in the V2 rollout phases. We are ultimately working to a point of having a robust ecosystem anchored by hubs, dApp chains, marketplaces, and partner integrations. There are phases in implementation.
3 - The rollout is complex and decentralized. It involves many teams and projects. I am seeing some FAQs pop up. Please list your questions here or in Telegram and Discord. We’ll host a technical AMA next week. I’ll also start answering here.
1 - As Web3 grows, so do the needs of large projects. SKALE is purpose-built to help projects like @yugalabs run their own blockchain without needing to set up their own validator network or POS currency/economics with pooled security and a tight+friendly connection with Ethereum
2 - Large projects do not want to share capacity or compute but they do like pooled security. They may want to run their own chain, but would have to deal with the massive task of setting up an entire blockchain network and also risk having limited stake securing their chain
3 - They also want their users to be able to leverage assets minted on the mainnet with their new chain. This includes fungible tokens and NFTs. The goal is to increase functionality and scale without losing value accrued.
