Has anyone quantified the developer time/cost saved building on blockchain protocols versus building custom logic in a centralized way?

Maybe it's too early to tell bc of higher upfront costs of being early to figuring out protocol related challenges 

Anyone have experience with both and can comment? 🙏

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. APIs vs Blockchains. I guess one plus for Blockchains is anything that is onchain automatically has the universal “API-like” connection point. I *think* any EVM compatible chain allows a dev to connect to all apps on that chain in a standardized way. APIs aren’t that simple.
