2 years from now, for most consumer experiences that use crypto, the underlying chain will be invisible. 

Exception will be if the target consumers own the underlying asset of the chain and are thus incentivized to hype an app because of a chain.

For regular people, they will just care if the app is fun / interesting.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

wrong.

the chain will never be abstracted away.

because they compete for users.

average people use iphones and google pixels, not smartphones. 

they buy the hardware that hosts the apps and make distinct decisions. 

hyperliquid is a chain before it’s an app.

no.

there hundreds of amazing apps on Cosmos chains and Avax.

nobody uses them. 

chain matters.

Hyperliquid is quite literally an app before a chain. The HyperEVM launched after the DEX. Nobody would build on HyperEVM if the DEX had not got so many users first

why doesn’t anyone use Osmosis? Thorswap? and the hundreds of really well done apps on many cosmos chains? 

chain matters.

average people use and want to continue to use smartphones whose UX they are familiar with

I don't think hyperliquid or any other speculative app is a good example for "most consumer experiences"

it is reasonable to expect risk takers to understand the details of the platform they are using, but it is completely unreasonable for everyday people
