isn't this also an attempt to keep a handle on the UX tho? Most users won't have a clue what's happening under the hood and a crappy chain could make Telegram seem crap.

enthusiast, adhd, drum & bass, plant based food, warm weather, les mills, self improvement, history, finance 🫶🏼

That's a psyop

There's a infinite rolodex of tools to ensure user safety on the chains that they just cut out 

Adding more wallet types would be trivial 

This is a "this is my playground" arbitrary chain KPI bumping extraction tactic

Adding wallet types might be trivial, but how do you keep a handle on cost and performance of the underlying chains, some sort of SLAs? 

I imagine this'll be typical of web2 meets web3 for the early years of the web2 -> web3 transition.

Only when interchain web3 competition heats up will these folks be forced to open up or die...

You're right, I think it's time to drop the 2 & the 3

It's very quickly becoming the same thing, just 50 shades of the same thing

It's very likely this is how it will go down, as web2 companies will go into protectionist mode even if they are trying to get into web3. They will try to run their own l2s... like Sony is doing
