Remember when people were arguing with us that since there’s no direct financial incentive to run a Hub no one would run them?

yeah i think it was smart to defer directly incentivising hubs

i bet a very big chunk of these are for airdrop speculation so probably not a good indication of long term network health

Sure, but somewhere between 10-100 independent hubs is sufficient for our scale right now, which seems feasible without any financial incentive

Yes, it is. A chunk of this is probably just people chasing that airdrop hype.
