Today we're bringing together everything: - DAOs taught us about ownership - working with consumer apps showed us scale - launching rollups revealed centralization risks They were all pieces of a bigger puzzle What we learned: - communities need real ownership - reaching scale comes from user alignment - value must flow to apps and their users - tech alone doesn't drive adoption Autonomous chains are our answer: a way for communities to truly own their platforms, control their economies & build their future. Excited to share more about what we're building. This brings together everything we've worked on since brainstorming the earliest aspects of Syndicate in 2018. The future is autonomous.

Wondering what lessons were learned from the great Cosmos experiment that are being applied here?

My own take is that bottom-up experimentation is a huge benefit, solid interop and composability makes a massive difference, but bootstrapping consensus is really hard. We hope to make the biggest difference on the last item and improve the great work that exists for the rest

Very much looking forward to seeing more! My biggest concern is credible neutrality at the infra level. I think that proved to be the fatal flaw that hasn't been solved or overcome with smaller, sovereign chains.

Agreed. Rollups in the Ethereum ecosystem are still centralized to a degree that I’m not comfortable with. But the more that moves onchain and removes centralized offchain permissions, the better off these systems will be

Glad your team is working on this. After years of attacking the problem (in Cosmos) through an organizational approach, I'm keen to see bigger brains addressing it differently.
