9. A reasonable person could argue that while the protocol data is credibly neutral and decentralized, client concentration in a single dominant client, i.e. Warpcast, creates de facto centralization and breaks credible neutrality. Additionally, even if you individually use a non-Warpcast client, your audience is likely to use that client and so their policies still affect you.

Fair criticism. The way to improve that state is to have another large client, i.e. Coinbase Wallet, that can offer a reasonable comparable app UX and has a large enough budget to sustain development, user acquisition etc.

But longer term, the single best way to solve this is have 10/100/1000x  daily active users on the protocol. Assuming that the data continues to be credibly neutral and permissionless, a large total addressable market (TAM) will attract well-funded competition.

If you believe that the ulterior motive for Merkle after 4+ years of trying to build a protocol is to "rug" the protocol, then why are you still here?

Logging back in and seeing our BDFL casting with speed, depth, and precision

Bullish.



I'm not sure what a BDFL is, but it sounds like a positive and empowering experience
