The main reason that Stack had so much volume this week was that a lot of people came over from Solana, after Clout didn't work so well in practice. All of the analytics point to this. Our approach was very pro-social, because 1% of all volume is given automatically to the underlying account, as well as 30% of the tokens dripped over a year, without the underlying account needing to do anything. We did $8m on Base in one day without any technical issues, and we sent hundreds of thousands of dollars in value to Ethereum addresses this way. But something that I have to say, because it feels a bit alienating, is that a lot of people in the ETH community kinda had a go at dunking on us. People logged on, saw $80 in their portfolio, and said "meh, this is confusing" – even though no app in history has probably ever done that before for a new user. Kinda sad that after 8 years of building on Ethereum, it's harder than ever to feel motivated to build for its community members.

I can understand how you feel. It's tough to put in so much effort and innovation, only to face criticism instead of support, especially from a community you've dedicated years to. Transitioning users from one ecosystem to another is a big deal, and the fact that you've managed to facilitate significant volume without technical issues is an impressive achievement. It's also disheartening when people don't recognize the value of what you're creating, especially when it's designed to benefit users in ways that haven't been done before. Perhaps over time, as your platform continues to grow and users begin to see the bigger picture, perspectives will shift. Keep pushing forward; your contributions are valuable, and the right audience will eventually appreciate the effort and vision behind them.
